A bar magnet is cut into two equal parts transversely. The pole strength of each piece becomes MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A bar magnet is cut into two equal parts transversely. The pole strength of each piece becomes
A. Same
B. Zero
C. Half
D. Double
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Pole strength is a property of the magnet; when cut transversely, each piece still has both north and south poles with same pole strength as original. Magnetic moment becomes half because length halves. Each is a complete magnet.

Question #1
Projectile horizontal range maximum at angle:
A. 45°
B. 30°
C. 90°
D. 60°

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Range R = u²sin(2θ)/g. sin(2θ) maximum (=1) when 2θ=90° ⇒ θ=45°. Standard result for level ground projection. Memory aid: 'Max range at 45°; max height at 90°'. Projectile motion fact frequently tested in competitive exams.

The sky appears blue due to
A. Dispersion
B. Total internal reflection
C. Scattering
D. Refraction

Correct Answer: Option C

Question #3
Pendulum on planet with g' = 4g. Period becomes:
A. Double
B. Four times
C. Half
D. Same

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
T ∝ 1/√g. If g' = 4g, T' = T/√4 = T/2. Higher gravity ⇒ faster oscillations. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ 1/√g; 4× gravity ⇒ half period'. Oscillations proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.
