A step-up transformer increases MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A step-up transformer increases
A. Power
B. Energy
C. Voltage
D. Current
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Step-up transformer increases voltage and decreases current proportionally (P = V×I constant ideal). Power constant (ignoring losses). Used in power transmission to reduce I²R losses. Step-down decreases voltage.

Question #1
Assertion: Acceleration in SHM is maximum at extremes. Reason: Restoring force ∝ displacement.
A. A true, R false
B. Both true, R explains A
C. A false, R true
D. Both true, R doesn't explain A

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Assertion true: a = -ω²x, max at max |x|. Reason true: F = -kx (Hooke's law), and F = ma ⇒ a ∝ -x. Reason correctly explains why acceleration peaks at extremes. Memory tip: 'SHM: F ∝ -x ⇒ a ∝ -x'. Assertion-reason testing SHM fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams.

Question #2
The work done by a conservative force acting on a particle moving around any closed path is:
A. Negative
B. Depends on the path taken
C. Positive
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
By definition, a force is conservative if the work done by it on an object moving between two points is completely independent of the path taken. A direct consequence of this is that the total work done by a conservative force (like gravity or electrostatic force) in moving an object around a closed loop (returning to the starting point) is exactly zero.
