A pendulum has time period 2 s. If its length is increased by 4 times, new period is
A. 8 s
B. 1 s
C. 2 s
D. 4 s
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
T ∝ √L, L'=4L => T' = √4 T = 2×2 = 4 s.

Question #1
The heating element of an electric heater is made of
A. Aluminium
B. Copper
C. Nichrome
D. Iron

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Nichrome (alloy of nickel, chromium) has high resistivity and high melting point, doesn't oxidize easily at high temperature. Copper has low resistivity, not suitable for heating element.

Question #3
A capillary tube is dipped in water and the water rises to a height 'h'. If the experiment is performed in a freely falling elevator, the water column in the tube will:
A. Rise to the full length of the capillary tube
B. Rise to height h
C. Not rise at all
D. Rise to height 2h

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The height of capillary rise is given by Jurin's law: h = 2Tcos(theta) / (rrhog). In a freely falling elevator, the effective acceleration due to gravity (g') is zero (weightlessness). As effective g approaches zero, the theoretical height h approaches infinity. In reality, the water will rise to the very top of the tube, regardless of its length, but will not overflow.
