Question #1
If the radius of the earth shrinks by 1%, its mass remaining the same, the value of 'g' on the earth's surface would:
A. Decrease by 1%
B. Increase by 2%
C. Decrease by 2%
D. Increase by 1%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The acceleration due to gravity is given by g = GM/R². For a small change, taking the derivative or using error approximation: Δg/g = -2(ΔR/R). If R shrinks by 1% (ΔR/R = -1%), then Δg/g = -2(-1%) = +2%. Therefore, the value of 'g' will increase by approximately 2%.

Question #2
Assertion (A): In a purely resistive AC circuit, voltage and current are in phase. Reason (R): Resistors do not store energy; they dissipate it as heat.
A. A is false, but R is true
B. Both A and R are true, and R is the correct explanation of A
C. A is true, but R is false
D. Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Assertion is true: in resistive AC circuits, V and I reach peaks simultaneously (phase difference 0°). Reason is true and explains A: resistors obey Ohm's law instantaneously (V=IR), with no energy storage mechanism (unlike capacitors/inductors that cause phase shifts via energy storage/release). Thus, no phase difference arises. Memory aid: 'Resistors: V and I in phase; Capacitors: I leads V; Inductors: V leads I'. This assertion-reason question tests AC circuit fundamentals, frequently examined. Always link phase behavior to energy storage properties of components.

Question #3
Assertion: Acceleration in SHM is maximum at extremes. Reason: Restoring force ∝ displacement.
A. A false, R true
B. A true, R false
C. Both true, R explains A
D. Both true, R doesn't explain A

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Assertion true: a = -ω²x, max at max |x|. Reason true: F = -kx (Hooke's law), and F = ma ⇒ a ∝ -x. Reason correctly explains why acceleration peaks at extremes. Memory tip: 'SHM: F ∝ -x ⇒ a ∝ -x'. Assertion-reason testing SHM fundamentals, frequently examined in competitive exams.
