Question 71 Discuss

Which of the following options represents only the units of energy?

A
Calorie, Kilowatt hour, Newton
B
Joule, Calorie, Newton
C
Joule, Newton, Kilowatt hour
D
Joule, Calorie, Kilowatt hour

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: D

Joule (SI unit), Calorie (heat energy), and Kilowatt-hour (electrical energy) are all valid measurements for the capacity to do work.
Question 72 Discuss

Which physicist was famous for the gold foil experiment?

A
Ernest Rutherford
B
Niels Bohr
C
JJ Thomson
D
John Dalton

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: A

In 1909, Rutherford's gold foil experiment showed that atoms have a small, dense, positively charged nucleus, overturning the plum pudding model.
Question 73 Discuss

Coulomb's law is applicable for .

A
Between two distributed charges
B
Between two point charges
C
both distributed charges and point charges
D
neither point charges nor distributed charges

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

Coulomb's Law mathematically describes the electrostatic force between two stationary point charges, where the size of the objects is negligible compared to the distance between them.
Question 74 Discuss

How is the image formed by a plane mirror?

A
Virtual and inverted
B
Virtual and erect
C
Erect and inverted
D
Laterally inverted and virtual

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: D

A plane mirror forms a virtual image that is the same size as the object, erect, and laterally inverted (left appears right).
Question 75 Discuss

What is the SI unit of force?

A
Ohm
B
Newton
C
Watt
D
Volt

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

The Newton (N) is the SI unit of force, named after Sir Isaac Newton, and is defined as the force required to accelerate 1 kg by 1 m/s².
Question 76 Discuss

Why is it advised not to touch a switchboard with wet hands?

A
Water can erode the switchboard.
B
Combination of water and our body is a good conductor of electricity.
C
Wet hands can fade away the colour coat of the switchboard.
D
Wet hands might slip from the switch.

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: B

Impurities in water make it conductive; touching an electrical source with wet hands significantly reduces body resistance, increasing the risk of a fatal shock.
Question 77 Discuss

Pascal is the SI unit of , which is defined as a force of 1 N applied uniformly over an area of 1 m2.

A
pressure
B
energy
C
mass density
D
power

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: A

Named after Blaise Pascal, the pascal (Pa) measures pressure and stress, representing the force exerted perpendicularly on a unit area.
Question 78 Discuss

The equipment used to record the intensity of an earthquake is .

A
seismograph
B
pyrometer
C
barometer
D
calorimeter

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: A

A seismograph detects and records the ground motion caused by seismic waves, producing a visual record called a seismogram.
Question 79 Discuss

What is the value of 1 electron volt (eV), which is especially used for nuclear science?

A
1.202 ×10−15 joules
B
2.202 × 10−11 joules
C
1.602 ×10−19 joules
D
1.902 ×10−10 joules

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

An electronvolt is the amount of kinetic energy gained by a single electron accelerating through an electric potential difference of one volt.
Question 80 Discuss

Why are the handles of cooking pans often covered with wood or plastic?

A
Wood is a good conductor of heat and helps in cooking.
B
Wood adds nice flavours to the food being cooked.
C
Wood is an insulator and does not heat up.
D
Wood helps the food cook faster.

Answer & Explanation

Correct Option: C

Wood and plastic are poor conductors of heat, ensuring the handles remain cool enough to touch even while the pan is hot.
