Nuclear fusion combines: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Nuclear fusion combines:
A. Light nuclei
B. Heavy nuclei
C. Neutrons and protons
D. Protons and electrons
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Fusion: light nuclei (e.g., hydrogen) combine to form heavier nucleus (helium), releasing energy (stars, H-bomb). Fission splits heavy nuclei (U, Pu). Memory tip: 'Fusion = joining light; Fission = splitting heavy'. Nuclear reaction concept frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #2
The phenomenon of polarization is used in:
A. Neither
B. Sunglasses to reduce glare
C. Both (a) and (b)
D. LCD displays

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Polarized sunglasses use polarizing filters to block horizontally polarized glare reflected from surfaces (water, roads). LCD displays use liquid crystals to rotate polarization, controlling light transmission through polarizers. Memory tip: 'Polarization applications: glare reduction (sunglasses), display technology (LCDs), 3D movies'. This application question tests wave optics uses, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always link physical principles to everyday technologies; competitive exams emphasize practical relevance of physics concepts, making abstract phenomena tangible through common devices.

Question #3
A magnetic field line indicates
A. Direction of force on a north pole
B. Direction of electric field
C. Direction of current
D. Path of charged particle

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Magnetic field lines represent direction of force on an isolated north pole. They emerge from north and enter south. They never cross. Tangent gives field direction. Compass aligns along these lines.
