Instrument measuring humidity: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Instrument measuring humidity:
A. Anemometer
B. Hygrometer
C. Barometer
D. Hydrometer
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Hygrometer measures atmospheric humidity (water vapor content). Barometer: pressure; Hydrometer: liquid density; Anemometer: wind speed. Memory tip: 'Hygro = moisture; meter = measure'. Instrument identification frequently tested in competitive exams to verify practical physics knowledge.

Question #1
The material of permanent magnet is
A. Steel
B. Aluminium
C. Soft iron
D. Copper

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Steel has high retentivity, retains magnetism, used for permanent magnets. Soft iron has low retentivity, used for electromagnet core (temporary). Alnico, ferrites also used.

Question #3
SHM acceleration a = -ω²x. Maximum acceleration occurs at:
A. Extreme position
B. Neither
C. Mean position
D. Both positions

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
a ∝ -x; magnitude maximum when |x| maximum (extremes). At mean position x=0 ⇒ a=0. Velocity maximum at mean position. Memory aid: 'SHM: a max at extremes, v max at center'. Oscillation concept frequently tested in competitive exams to verify SHM characteristics understanding.
