Question #1
A transformer has 400 primary turns and 100 secondary turns. If primary voltage is 220 V, secondary voltage is
A. 880 V
B. 55 V
C. 440 V
D. 110 V

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Vs/Vp = Ns/Np => Vs = 220 × (100/400) = 55 V. Step-down.

Question #2
Which of the following colours of light has minimum wavelength?
A. Blue
B. Green
C. Violet
D. Red

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Violet ~400 nm, shortest in visible. Red ~700 nm, longest. Order VIBGYOR. Shorter wavelength higher frequency, more energy. Ultraviolet beyond violet.

Question #3
The work done by the gravitational force when a body is moved horizontally on Earth's surface is:
A. Depends on speed
B. Negative
C. Zero
D. Positive

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Gravitational force acts vertically downward. For horizontal displacement, the angle between force and displacement is 90°, so work W = F·d·cos90° = 0. Gravity does no work for horizontal motion; it only does work for vertical displacement components. Memory aid: 'Work = F d cosθ; θ=90° ⇒ W=0'.
