de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝:
A. 1/v²
B.
C. 1/v
D. v
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
p = mv ⇒ λ = h/(mv) ⇒ λ ∝ 1/v for constant mass. Higher velocity ⇒ shorter wavelength. Memory tip: 'λ = h/mv; faster particle ⇒ smaller wavelength'. Quantum mechanics relation frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #2
1 joule is equal to how many ergs?
A. 10⁶
B. 10⁷
C. 10⁸
D. 10⁵

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
1 J = 1 kg m²/s². In CGS, 1 kg = 10³ g, 1 m = 10² cm => 1 J = (10³ g) × (10² cm)² / s² = 10⁷ g cm²/s² = 10⁷ erg. Key conversion.

Question #3
In a series circuit, which quantity remains the same across all components?
A. Voltage
B. Power
C. Resistance
D. Current

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In series circuits, current is the same through all components because there's only one path for charge flow. Voltage divides across components proportional to resistance (V = IR). Resistance and power vary per component. Memory aid: 'Series: same current; Parallel: same voltage'. This fundamental circuit property is frequently tested in competitive exams to assess basic electronics understanding. Always apply Kirchhoff's current law: current entering a junction equals current leaving; in series, no junctions, so current constant.
