A magnetic field line indicates MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A magnetic field line indicates
A. Direction of current
B. Direction of force on a north pole
C. Direction of electric field
D. Path of charged particle
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Magnetic field lines represent direction of force on an isolated north pole. They emerge from north and enter south. They never cross. Tangent gives field direction. Compass aligns along these lines.

Question #1
The dimensional formula of angular momentum is:
A. [M⁰L⁰T⁰]
B. [ML²T⁻¹]
C. [MLT⁻¹]
D. [ML²T⁻²]

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Angular momentum L = r × p. Position r has [L], linear momentum p = mv has [MLT⁻¹], so L has [L][MLT⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. This matches Planck's constant dimensions. Option A is linear momentum; C is energy/torque; D is dimensionless. Memory aid: 'Angular momentum: [ML²T⁻¹]; same as action quantities'. This dimensional analysis question tests ability to derive formulas, crucial for competitive exams. Always break down compound quantities into fundamental dimensions (M, L, T) for verification and problem-solving.

Question #2
An AC generator produces alternating current. To convert an AC generator into a DC generator, which crucial component must be replaced?
A. The magnetic poles must be swapped.
B. The split-ring commutator must be replaced with slip rings.
C. The armature coil must be made of aluminum.
D. The slip rings must be replaced with a split-ring commutator.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
An AC generator uses continuous 'slip rings' which allow the output polarity to reverse every half-rotation of the coil, generating alternating current. To produce direct current (DC), the slip rings must be replaced by a 'split-ring commutator'. This commutator reverses the connections to the external circuit at the exact moment the coil's current reverses, ensuring current flows in only one direction outside.

C. 100 cal
D. 540 cal

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Latent heat of vaporisation, 540 cal/g.
