Capacitor charging work stored as: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Capacitor charging work stored as:
A. Chemical energy
B. Heat
C. Electrostatic energy
D. Magnetic energy
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Work done stored in electric field between plates: U = ½CV². Recoverable on discharge. Memory aid: 'Capacitor energy = ½CV² in electric field'. Electrostatics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
Torque dimensions same as:
A. Work
B. Momentum
C. Force
D. Power

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Torque τ = r×F: [L][MLT⁻²] = [ML²T⁻²]. Work W = F·d: same dimensions. Physically distinct: torque (vector, rotational), work (scalar, energy). Memory tip: 'Torque and work: same [ML²T⁻²]; different physical meaning'. Dimensional analysis frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
Which of the following is a non-contact force?
A. Electrostatic force
B. Normal force
C. Muscular force
D. Friction

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Electrostatic force acts between charges at a distance without contact. Gravity, magnetic force also non-contact. Friction and normal require contact.

Question #3
Which of the following is an example of the Doppler effect?
A. Bending of light around corners
B. Change in frequency of siren as ambulance passes
C. Echo of sound
D. Fusion of nuclei

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Doppler effect: apparent change in frequency due to relative motion. Siren pitch changes as it approaches/recedes. Echo is reflection. Bending is diffraction. Fusion is nuclear reaction.
