Question #1
The weight of a body on a planet is 100 N. If planet's radius is half and density same as Earth, weight becomes
A. 200 N
B. 100 N
C. 50 N
D. 25 N

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
g = GM/R² = G (ρ 4/3 π R³)/R² ∝ ρ R. If radius half, density same, g becomes half. Weight half = 50 N.

Question #2
Rainbow formation involves:
A. Refraction only
B. Dispersion and total internal reflection
C. Diffraction
D. Reflection only

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Rainbow: sunlight enters raindrop (refraction + dispersion), reflects internally (TIR), exits with further refraction. Primary rainbow: one TIR; secondary: two TIRs. Memory tip: 'Rainbow = refraction + dispersion + TIR in water droplets'. Application question testing atmospheric optics, frequently appearing in competitive exams.

Question #3
A Wheatstone bridge is said to be completely balanced when:
A. All four resistors have exactly identical values.
B. The battery supplies zero current.
C. Current through the galvanometer is maximum.
D. Potential difference across the galvanometer is zero.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A Wheatstone bridge circuit consists of four arms with resistances P, Q, R, S and a galvanometer in the middle. It is balanced when no current flows through the galvanometer arm. This happens exclusively when the potentials at the two ends of the galvanometer are equal, meaning the potential difference across it is exactly zero (P/Q = R/S).
