Question #2
What is the equivalent capacitance when three capacitors of 3 microfarads each are connected in series?
A. 0.33 microfarads
B. 1 microfarad
C. 3 microfarads
D. 9 microfarads

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The formula for capacitors in series is exactly the opposite of resistors. 1/C_eq = 1/C1 + 1/C2 + 1/C3. Here, all are 3 uF. So, 1/C_eq = 1/3 + 1/3 + 1/3 = 3/3 = 1. Therefore, C_eq = 1 microfarad. When identical capacitors are in series, you simply divide the capacitance by the number of capacitors (3/3 = 1).

Question #3
The dimension of Planck's constant is same as that of
A. Energy
B. Force
C. Angular momentum
D. Linear momentum

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Planck's constant h = E/ν, so its dimensions are [Energy]/[Frequency] = [ML²T⁻²]/[T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum = mvr = M·LT⁻¹·L = [ML²T⁻¹]. Energy = [ML²T⁻²], linear momentum = [MLT⁻¹], force = [MLT⁻²]. Thus, Planck's constant and angular momentum share dimensions. This is a key dimensional match in quantum mechanics.
