Question #1
The magnifying power of a simple microscope is maximum when the image is formed at
A. Infinity
B. Focus
C. Near point
D. 2F

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
M = 1 + D/f when image at near point (D = 25 cm). For infinity, M = D/f. So max at near point.

Question #2
The power factor in an AC circuit is defined as:
A. Both (a) and (c)
B. Ratio of apparent power to true power
C. Cosine of phase angle between voltage and current
D. Ratio of resistance to impedance

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Power factor = cosφ, where φ is phase angle between voltage and current. Also, power factor = R/Z (resistance/impedance) for series circuits, and = true power (W) / apparent power (VA). Thus both (a) and (c) are correct definitions. Memory tip: 'Power factor = cosφ = R/Z = P/S; ideal = 1 (purely resistive)'. This definition question tests AC circuit knowledge, crucial for competitive exams. Always link power factor to energy efficiency: low power factor means more current for same power, increasing losses.

Question #3
The number of significant figures in 0.00250 is:
A. 4
B. 2
C. 6
D. 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Significant figures rules: leading zeros are not significant; trailing zeros after decimal are significant. Thus 0.00250: leading zeros (before 2) not significant; digits 2,5,0 are significant (trailing zero after decimal counts). So three significant figures. Memory tip: 'Start counting at first non-zero digit; include trailing zeros after decimal'. This measurement precision concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always apply rules consistently: 0.0025 has two sig figs; 0.00250 has three, indicating higher precision.
