Electromagnetic induction was discovered by MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Electromagnetic induction was discovered by
A. Oersted
B. Ampere
C. Coulomb
D. Faraday
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831: changing magnetic field induces emf. Oersted discovered magnetic effect of current. Ampere gave laws of magnetic force between currents. Coulomb for electrostatics.

Question #1
A seismograph is used to detect:
A. Atmospheric pressure changes
B. Magnetic field variations
C. Earthquakes
D. Sound waves in water

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Seismograph detects and records ground motions caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, or explosions. It measures seismic waves (P-waves, S-waves). Barometer detects pressure changes; hydrophone detects underwater sound; magnetometer detects magnetic fields. Memory tip: 'Seismo = earthquake (like seismology)'. This instrument-application question tests knowledge of geophysical tools, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always associate instrument names with their field of use: seismograph (geology), barometer (meteorology), etc.

Question #2
KE increased by 100%. Momentum increase percentage:
A. 50%
B. 41.4%
C. 100%
D. 200%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
KE ∝ p². Double KE ⇒ p_new = √2 p_old ⇒ increase = (√2 - 1)×100% ≈ 41.4%. Memory tip: 'KE ∝ p²; %Δp ≈ ½ %ΔKE for small changes, but use exact for large'. Energy-momentum relation frequently tested in competitive exams.
