Superconductivity characterized by: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Superconductivity characterized by:
A. High conductivity only
B. Zero permeability
C. Infinite resistance
D. Zero resistance below T_c
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Superconductors: zero electrical resistance below critical temperature T_c, plus Meissner effect (expel magnetic fields). Memory aid: 'Superconductor: R=0 below T_c; perfect diamagnetism'. Modern physics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
A gap is left between railway tracks to allow for
A. Vibration
B. Expansion in summer
C. Weight of train
D. Contraction in summer

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Thermal expansion. Rails expand in summer heat, gap prevents buckling. Linear expansion ΔL = α L ΔT.

Question #2
Coil center magnetic field B = μ₀NI/(2R). If N doubled, B becomes:
A. Same
B. Double
C. Four times
D. Half

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
B ∝ N. Double turns ⇒ double field at center. Direct proportionality from Biot-Savart law. Memory tip: 'Coil field: B ∝ NI; more turns ⇒ stronger field'. Magnetism formula frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
Prism dispersion occurs because:
A. Total internal reflection
B. Prism absorbs colors selectively
C. Refractive index depends on wavelength
D. Different colors have different frequencies

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Dispersion: n varies with λ (Cauchy's law), causing different refraction angles for colors. Frequency constant across media; wavelength changes. Memory aid: 'n(λ) ⇒ v(λ) ⇒ different bending; violet bends most'. Conceptual question testing dispersion mechanism, frequently examined in competitive optics sections.
