Question #1
A wire of resistance R is stretched to double its length. Assuming volume remains constant, the new resistance is:
A. R
B. 4R
C. 2R
D. R/2

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Resistance R = ρL/A. Volume V = A·L constant. If L' = 2L, then A' = V/L' = V/(2L) = A/2. Thus R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4(ρL/A) = 4R. Resistance increases by factor of 4. Memory tip: 'Stretching wire: R ∝ L² when volume constant'. This proportional reasoning problem tests resistance concepts, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always verify volume conservation assumption; if area changed independently, result would differ. This problem assesses understanding of geometric effects on electrical properties.

Question #2
Photoelectric emission requires:
A. Frequency > threshold
B. Long wavelength
C. Any frequency with high intensity
D. High intensity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Emission requires photon energy hν ≥ work function φ ⇒ ν ≥ ν₀. Intensity affects electron count, not emission possibility. Memory aid: 'Photoelectric: frequency threshold (quantum); intensity affects current'. Quantum physics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
