Electromagnetic induction principle discovered by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Electromagnetic induction principle discovered by:
A. Oersted
B. Ampere
C. Volta
D. Faraday
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction (1831): changing magnetic flux induces EMF. Oersted found current-magnetism link; Ampere studied forces; Volta invented battery. Memory aid: 'Faraday = induction; Lenz = induced current direction'. History-based question testing key discoveries, frequently appearing in competitive exams.

Question #1
The heating element of an electric heater is made of
A. Copper
B. Aluminium
C. Nichrome
D. Iron

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Nichrome (alloy of nickel, chromium) has high resistivity and high melting point, doesn't oxidize easily at high temperature. Copper has low resistivity, not suitable for heating element.

Question #2
A car accelerates from rest at 2 m/s² for 10 s, then moves with constant velocity for 10 s. Total distance covered is
A. 100 m
B. 400 m
C. 200 m
D. 300 m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Acceleration phase: s₁ = ½a t² = ½×2×100 = 100 m, v = a t = 20 m/s. Constant velocity phase: s₂ = v×t = 20×10 = 200 m. Total = 300 m. Motion in two parts.

A. 5 m/s²
B. 2 m/s²
C. 3 m/s²
D. 7 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
a = dv/dt = 2, constant.
