Electron e/m measured by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Electron e/m measured by:
A. Millikan
B. Bohr
C. Rutherford
D. Thomson
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
J.J. Thomson measured e/m using cathode ray deflection (1897). Millikan later measured e (oil drop). Memory aid: 'Thomson = e/m; Millikan = e'. Experimental physics history frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
Which of the following devices relies on the heating effect of electric current?
A. Electric fan
B. Electric generator
C. Transformer
D. Electric iron

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
An electric iron contains a heating element (usually nichrome). When electric current passes through this high-resistance element, it produces heat according to Joule's law (H = I²Rt). An electric fan uses the magnetic effect (motor), a generator uses electromagnetic induction, and a transformer uses mutual induction.

Question #3
Which of the following colors of light has the lowest frequency?
A. Blue
B. Green
C. Violet
D. Red

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In the visible spectrum (VIBGYOR), wavelength increases from Violet to Red. Since speed = frequency × wavelength (c = fλ), frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Red light has the longest wavelength and therefore the lowest frequency and lowest energy. Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.
