Question #2
A ball is dropped from a height of 5 m on a floor and rebounds to 1.25 m. Coefficient of restitution is
A. 1
B. 0.8
C. 0.5
D. 0.25

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
e = √(h₂/h₁) = √(1.25/5) = √0.25 = 0.5.

Question #3
A capacitor of capacitance C is charged to voltage V. The energy stored is:
A. CV
B. CV²
C. ½C/V
D. ½CV²

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Energy stored in capacitor U = ½CV² = ½QV = Q²/(2C). This derives from work done to charge the capacitor against increasing voltage. Option A has wrong dimensions (energy should be joules, CV is coulomb-volt = joule, but missing factor ½); C and D are dimensionally incorrect. Memory tip: 'Capacitor energy = ½CV², analogous to spring energy ½kx²'. This formula-based question tests electrostatics knowledge, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always recall the three equivalent forms and choose based on given quantities.
