A bimetallic strip is made of brass and invar. On heating, it bends with brass on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A bimetallic strip is made of brass and invar. On heating, it bends with brass on
A. Inner side
B. Depends on thickness
C. Outer side
D. No bending
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Brass expands more than invar. So it becomes longer, forcing strip to bend with brass on convex (outer) side.

Question #1
Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is:
A. 60 N
B. 10 N
C. 100 N
D. 16.7 N

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Weight W = mg. On Earth: 10×10 = 100 N. On Moon: g_moon ≈ 10/6 ≈ 1.67 m/s². W_moon = 10×1.67 ≈ 16.7 N. Mass remains 10 kg; weight changes with gravity. Memory tip: 'Mass constant; weight ∝ g'. Tests mass-weight distinction and gravity variation, common conceptual question in competitive exams.

Question #2
Identify the incorrect statement regarding the human eye.
A. The image formed on the retina is virtual and erect.
B. The cornea provides most of the eye's refractive power.
C. The pupil regulates the amount of light entering the eye.
D. The retina acts as the screen where images are formed.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The eye lens is a convex (converging) lens. It converges light rays to form a real and inverted image on the retina. The brain processes this signal and flips it so we perceive the world as erect. All other statements are functionally correct. The cornea does indeed do about two-thirds of the focusing.
