According to Joule's law of heating, the heat produced in a resistor is directly proportional to the square of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

According to Joule's law of heating, the heat produced in a resistor is directly proportional to the square of:
A. Voltage
B. Electric Current
C. Time
D. Resistance
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Joule's Law of Heating states that the heat (H) produced in a resistor is given by H = I²Rt. This indicates that the heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the electric current (I), directly proportional to the resistance (R), and directly proportional to the time (t) the current flows.

Question #1
A body is projected with velocity u at angle θ to horizontal. The horizontal range is maximum when θ is:
A. 60°
B. 30°
C. 45°
D. 90°

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Horizontal range R = u²sin(2θ)/g. sin(2θ) is maximum (value 1) when 2θ = 90° ⇒ θ = 45°. Thus maximum range at 45° projection angle, assuming same initial speed and level ground. Memory tip: 'Max range at 45°; max height at 90°'. This standard projectile motion result is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always verify assumptions: no air resistance, uniform gravity, launch and landing at same height. For different heights, optimal angle differs.

Question #2
Work done by a force is maximum when the angle between force and displacement is
A. 60°
B. 90°
C. 30°
D.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Work W = F·d = Fd cosθ. cos0° = 1 gives maximum work. At 90°, cos90° = 0, work zero. For given magnitudes, maximum when force parallel to displacement. This is basic definition.

Question #3
Simple pendulum period T = 2π√(l/g). If length quadrupled, T becomes:
A. Double
B. Four times
C. Half
D. Same

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
T ∝ √l. If l' = 4l, T' = √4 × T = 2T. Period doubles when length quadruples. Memory aid: 'Pendulum: T ∝ √l; 4× length ⇒ 2× period'. Proportional reasoning frequently tested in competitive oscillations sections.
