Heat transfer by fluid motion is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Heat transfer by fluid motion is:
A. Conduction
B. All three
C. Convection
D. Radiation
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Convection: bulk fluid motion carries heat (natural: density-driven; forced: pump/fan). Conduction: molecular collisions; radiation: EM waves. Memory aid: 'Convection = fluid flow + heat; e.g., boiling, weather'. Heat transfer mode frequently tested in competitive exams.

A solar cell converts
A. Chemical energy to electrical energy
B. Light energy to electrical energy
C. Heat energy to electrical energy
D. Mechanical energy to electrical energy

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Solar cell (photovoltaic cell) converts sunlight directly into electricity using semiconductor p-n junction. No heat involved. Battery converts chemical to electrical. Thermocouple heat to electrical. Solar energy is renewable.

Question #2
In simple harmonic motion, acceleration is directly proportional to
A. Time
B. Velocity
C. Displacement but opposite in direction
D. Square of displacement

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In SHM, a = -ω²x, acceleration ∝ -displacement. Minus sign indicates direction towards mean position (restoring). Characteristic of SHM. Pendulum and spring-mass system exhibit SHM for small displacements.

Question #3
An iron needle sinks in water, whereas an iron ship floats. This is because:
A. The ship is hollow.
B. The density of the ship is greater than that of the needle.
C. The average density of the ship is less than that of water.
D. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is greater than the weight of the ship.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Though the ship is made of iron, it is hollow inside and traps a large volume of air. This makes the overall or average density of the ship less than the density of water. According to the law of floatation, an object floats if its average density is less than that of the fluid. A solid iron needle has a higher density than water, so it sinks.
