A 5 Ω resistor dissipates 20 W power. Current through it is
A. 100 A
B. 2 A
C. 0.5 A
D. 4 A
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
P = I² R => I = √(P/R) = √(20/5) = √4 = 2 A.

Question #1
Lens power P = -4 D. Focal length and type:
A. 40 cm, concave
B. 25 cm, convex
C. 40 cm, convex
D. 25 cm, concave

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
P = 1/f(m) ⇒ f = 1/P = 1/(-4) = -0.25 m = -25 cm. Negative focal length indicates diverging (concave) lens. Memory aid: 'Negative power = concave lens; f(cm) = 100/P(D)'. Direct lens power application frequently tested in competitive exams with sign convention awareness.

Question #2
The sound of thunder is heard after the flash of lightning because
A. Sound travels faster than light
B. Both travel at same speed
C. Light travels slower than sound
D. Light travels much faster than sound

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Speed of light ≈ 3×10⁸ m/s, sound ≈ 340 m/s. Light reaches almost instantly, sound takes time. So thunder heard after lightning. Time delay gives distance: d = v_sound × t.

Question #3
SI unit of luminous intensity:
A. Watt
B. Lux
C. Lumen
D. Candela

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Candela (cd) is SI base unit for luminous intensity. Lumen: luminous flux; Lux: illuminance; Watt: power. Memory aid: 'Candela = candle power; base unit for perceived light'. Unit knowledge frequently tested in competitive exams.
