Question #1
If X = a²b³/c², and percentage errors in a, b, c are 2% each, the maximum percentage error in X is
A. 12%
B. 8%
C. 14%
D. 10%

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
ΔX/X = 2(Δa/a) + 3(Δb/b) + 2(Δc/c) = 2×2% + 3×2% + 2×2% = 4% + 6% + 4% = 14%. Always add absolute relative errors.

Question #2
Which of the following pairs of physical quantities has the same dimensions?
A. Pressure and Strain
B. Angular Momentum and Planck's Constant
C. Force and Power
D. Momentum and Kinetic Energy

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Angular momentum (L = mvr) has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. Planck's constant (h = E/ν) also has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. They share the same dimensional formula. Force is [MLT⁻²], Power is [ML²T⁻³], Momentum is [MLT⁻¹], and Strain is a dimensionless quantity [M⁰L⁰T⁰]. This is a frequent exam question.

Question #3
Capacitor energy U = ½CV². If voltage doubled, energy becomes:
A. Four times
B. Same
C. Double
D. Half

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
U ∝ V². If V' = 2V, U' = 4U. Energy scales with square of voltage. Memory aid: 'Capacitor energy: U ∝ V²; double voltage ⇒ quadruple energy'. Electrostatics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.
