Electric power P = VI. For 60W, 120V bulb, current is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Electric power P = VI. For 60W, 120V bulb, current is:
A. 0.5 A
B. 2 A
C. 7200 A
D. 180 A
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
I = P/V = 60/120 = 0.5 A. Direct power formula application. Memory tip: 'I = P/V for resistive loads; always use consistent units'. Basic electricity numerical frequently tested in competitive exams to verify formula application and unit handling.

Question #1
The defect of vision in which a person cannot see nearby objects clearly is
A. Presbyopia
B. Myopia
C. Hypermetropia
D. Astigmatism

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Hypermetropia (farsightedness): near point farther away, difficulty seeing close objects. Corrected with convex lens. Myopia: distant objects blurry. Presbyopia due to aging. Astigmatism due to irregular cornea.

Question #2
The work done in moving a charge of 2 C between two points with potential difference of 12 V is:
A. 6 J
B. 14 J
C. 0.167 J
D. 24 J

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Work done W = charge (Q) × potential difference (V). Thus W = 2 C × 12 V = 24 J. This follows from definition of voltage: 1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb. The work done equals the change in electrical potential energy. This fundamental relationship is crucial in electricity. Memory tip: W = QV is analogous to mechanical work = force × distance. Such direct formula applications are common in competitive exams to test basic concept retention. Always verify units: coulomb × volt = joule, confirming dimensional consistency.

Question #3
The working principle of LED is based on:
A. Fluorescence
B. Heating effect of current
C. Incandescence
D. Electroluminescence

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
LED (Light Emitting Diode) works on electroluminescence: when electrons recombine with holes in a semiconductor junction, energy is released as photons. This is distinct from incandescence (heating filament, like bulbs), fluorescence (absorb UV, emit visible), or heating effect. Memory aid: 'LED = semiconductor light emission; no filament'. This modern application question tests knowledge of everyday physics, common in competitive exams. Always link device to underlying phenomenon: LED (electroluminescence), laser (stimulated emission), solar cell (photovoltaic effect).
