Question #1
The root mean square value of alternating current is defined as the equivalent DC current that produces the same:
A. Power dissipation
B. Magnetic field
C. Voltage
D. Charge flow

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
RMS value of AC is defined such that I_rms²R = average power dissipated, same as DC current I_dc would produce (I_dc²R). Thus I_rms = I₀/√2 for sinusoidal AC. This definition ensures power calculations use RMS values. Memory tip: 'RMS: heating effect equivalent to DC; I_rms = 0.707 I₀ for sine wave'. This AC fundamentals concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always use RMS values for power calculations in AC circuits; peak values overestimate power.

Question #2
Atmospheric pressure at sea level in pascal is approximately
A. 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa
B. 1.01 × 10⁷ Pa
C. 1.01 × 10⁹ Pa
D. 1.01 × 10³ Pa

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Standard atmospheric pressure 1 atm = 1.01325 × 10⁵ Pa ≈ 1.01 × 10⁵ Pa = 101 kPa. Also equals 760 mm of Hg. This is an important conversion for pressure units.

Question #3
A satellite is orbiting close to Earth's surface. Its orbital speed is (g = 10 m/s², R = 6400 km)
A. 16 km/s
B. 4 km/s
C. 8 km/s
D. 11.2 km/s

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
v = √(gR) = √(10×6400×10³) = √(64×10⁶) = 8×10³ m/s = 8 km/s. Escape velocity 11.2 km/s.
