An ammeter is always connected in MCQ with Answer and Explanation

An ammeter is always connected in
A. Across supply
B. Series with circuit
C. Either series or parallel
D. Parallel with circuit
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ammeter measures current, must be in series so full current flows through it. Low internal resistance to minimize voltage drop. Voltmeter measures potential difference, connected in parallel, high resistance.

Question #1
Myopia is corrected by
A. Concave lens
B. Convex lens
C. Bifocal lens
D. Cylindrical lens

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Myopia (nearsightedness) requires diverging lens (concave). Hypermetropia needs convex.

Question #2
Escape velocity depends on:
A. Launch angle
B. Atmosphere
C. Planet mass and radius
D. Projectile mass

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
v_e = √(2GM/R): depends on planet's M and R, independent of projectile mass or launch direction. Memory tip: 'v_e ∝ √(M/R); property of planet, not projectile'. Gravitation concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
The time period of oscillation of a mass M attached to a spring of force constant k is:
A. π√(M/k)
B. 2π√(M/k)
C. 2π√(g/l)
D. 2π√(k/M)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For spring-mass system undergoing SHM, time period T = 2π√(M/k), derived from F = -kx = Ma ⇒ a = -(k/M)x, so ω² = k/M, T=2π/ω=2π√(M/k). Option B has inverse ratio; C misses factor 2; D is for pendulum. Memory tip: 'Spring: T ∝ √(M/k); Pendulum: T ∝ √(l/g)'. This standard formula is frequently tested in oscillations sections of competitive exams. Always verify dimensions: √(kg / (N/m)) = √(kg·m/N) = √(s²) = s, correct for time period.
