Question #1
Newton's contribution to physics:
A. Electromagnetic theory
B. Laws of motion and gravitation
C. Quantum mechanics
D. Theory of relativity

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Isaac Newton: three laws of motion, universal gravitation, calculus, optics. Relativity: Einstein; EM theory: Maxwell; Quantum: Planck/Bohr. Memory tip: 'Newton = classical mechanics foundation'. Scientist-discovery association frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
An electric iron draws 5 A at 220 V. Its power is
A. 44 W
B. 550 W
C. 1100 W
D. 2200 W

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
P = V×I = 220 × 5 = 1100 W = 1.1 kW. Energy consumed in 2 hours = 2.2 kWh. Simple.

Question #3
Which famous physicist correctly formulated the laws of electromagnetic induction mathematically, later synthesizing all known electromagnetic phenomena into four fundamental equations?
A. Heinrich Hertz
B. Michael Faraday
C. James Clerk Maxwell
D. André-Marie Ampère

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
While Faraday performed the groundbreaking experimental work discovering electromagnetic induction, it was James Clerk Maxwell who formalized these discoveries mathematically. Maxwell's equations (a set of four differential equations) elegantly united electricity, magnetism, and optics, proving theoretically that light itself is a propagating electromagnetic wave.
