Assertion (A): Fuse wire has high resistance and low melting point. Reason (R): It must melt to break circuit on overload. MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Assertion (A): Fuse wire has high resistance and low melting point. Reason (R): It must melt to break circuit on overload.
A. A false, R true
B. A true, R false
C. Both A and R true, R not correct explanation
D. Both A and R true, R correct explanation
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
High resistance produces more heat (I²R), low melting point ensures quick melting. Both true and R explains A.

Question #1
A car moving at 36 km/h is brought to rest in 2 s. Deceleration is
A. 18 m/s²
B. 2.5 m/s²
C. 10 m/s²
D. 5 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
36 km/h = 10 m/s. a = (0-10)/2 = -5 m/s², magnitude 5 m/s².

Question #2
The speed of sound in air at 0°C is approximately
A. 340 m/s
B. 350 m/s
C. 300 m/s
D. 330 m/s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
At 0°C, speed ~ 331 m/s. At room temperature (20°C) ~ 343 m/s, often taken as 340. Increases with temperature v ∝ √T. For many problems 340 is used, but at 0°C it's 331. So option A.

Question #3
A ball is projected horizontally from top of a cliff. The time to hit ground depends on
A. Height of cliff and g
B. Horizontal velocity
C. Both velocity and height
D. Mass of ball

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Vertical motion is independent of horizontal. t = √(2h/g). Mass doesn't affect. Horizontal velocity affects range, not time of fall. Projectile motion independence of perpendicular components.
