An object is placed at the centre of curvature of a concave mirror. The image formed is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

An object is placed at the centre of curvature of a concave mirror. The image formed is
A. Virtual, inverted, same size
B. Real, inverted, same size
C. Real, inverted, diminished
D. Virtual, erect, magnified
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
At C (centre of curvature), image is at C, real, inverted, same size. At F, image at infinity. Beyond C, between F and C, diminished. Object between F and C gives beyond C, enlarged.

Question #1
Soft iron is universally preferred for making the core of a transformer or an electromagnet because it possesses:
A. Low retentivity and high coercivity
B. High retentivity and low coercivity
C. Low retentivity and low coercivity
D. High retentivity and high coercivity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A transformer core is subject to alternating magnetic fields, tracing out a hysteresis loop repeatedly. To minimize energy loss (hysteresis loss), the area of this loop must be small, requiring low coercivity (easily demagnetized). It also requires low retentivity so it loses magnetism rapidly when current stops. Steel, conversely, has high retentivity and coercivity, used for permanent magnets.

Question #2
Which of the following is true for a geostationary satellite?
A. Its orbit is at any altitude
B. It appears fixed relative to a point on Earth
C. It revolves opposite to Earth's rotation
D. Its orbital period is 12 hours

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Geostationary satellite has orbital period equal to Earth's rotation (24 hours) and orbits in equatorial plane in same direction. It appears stationary from Earth's surface. Altitude about 36,000 km. Used for communication.

Question #3
Body moving with constant velocity has:
A. Variable acceleration
B. Constant acceleration
C. Increasing acceleration
D. Zero acceleration

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Constant velocity ⇒ no change in speed or direction ⇒ acceleration = dv/dt = 0. Newton's first law: zero net force for constant velocity. Memory tip: 'Constant v ⇒ a = 0; changing v ⇒ a ≠ 0'. Basic kinematics concept frequently tested to verify acceleration-velocity relationship understanding.
