Heat required to convert 1 g of ice at 0°C to water at 0°C is (latent heat 80 cal/g) MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Heat required to convert 1 g of ice at 0°C to water at 0°C is (latent heat 80 cal/g)
A. 80 cal
B. 540 cal
C. 100 cal
D. 1 cal
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Latent heat of fusion of ice = 80 cal/g. So 1 g needs 80 cal. No temperature change.

A body executing SHM has amplitude 5 cm and time period 2 s. Maximum velocity is
A. 10π cm/s
B. 5π cm/s
C. 20π cm/s
D. 2.5π cm/s

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
v_max = ωA = (2π/T) A = (2π/2)×5 = 5π cm/s.

Question #2
In modern household wiring, a 'fuse' has largely been replaced by which device that performs the same safety function but can be reset?
A. Inverter
B. MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker)
C. Capacitor
D. Rectifier

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A Miniature Circuit Breaker (MCB) serves the same safety function as a fuse: breaking the circuit during an overload or short circuit. However, unlike a fuse wire that melts and must be physically replaced, an MCB contains an electromechanical mechanism that trips the switch. It can simply be switched back on to restore power.

Pendulum T measured 2.0±0.1 s. % error in g:
A. 5%
B. 10%
C. 20%
D. 2.5%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
g = 4π²l/T² ⇒ %Δg = %Δl + 2×%ΔT. Assuming l precise: %Δg ≈ 2×(0.1/2.0×100%) = 2×5% = 10%. Memory tip: 'g ∝ 1/T² ⇒ %Δg = 2×%ΔT'. Error analysis frequently tested in competitive experimental physics sections.
