The density of a substance is 8 g/cm³. In SI, it is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The density of a substance is 8 g/cm³. In SI, it is
A. 800 kg/m³
B. 8000 kg/m³
C. 8 kg/m³
D. 80 kg/m³
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
1 g/cm³ = 1000 kg/m³, so 8 g/cm³ = 8000 kg/m³.

Question #1
The power factor in an AC circuit is defined as:
A. Ratio of resistance to impedance
B. Both (a) and (c)
C. Ratio of apparent power to true power
D. Cosine of phase angle between voltage and current

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Power factor = cosφ, where φ is phase angle between voltage and current. Also, power factor = R/Z (resistance/impedance) for series circuits, and = true power (W) / apparent power (VA). Thus both (a) and (c) are correct definitions. Memory tip: 'Power factor = cosφ = R/Z = P/S; ideal = 1 (purely resistive)'. This definition question tests AC circuit knowledge, crucial for competitive exams. Always link power factor to energy efficiency: low power factor means more current for same power, increasing losses.

Question #2
The value of universal gravitational constant G is
A. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ dyne cm²/g²
B. Both A and C
C. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
D. 9.8 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg² in SI, and 6.67 × 10⁻⁸ dyne cm²/g² in CGS. Both are correct. Important constant, measured by Cavendish. g is acceleration due to gravity, different.

Question #3
Which scientific instrument is used specifically for measuring very high temperatures, such as the surface temperature of the Sun or inside a furnace, from a distance?
A. Cryometer
B. Calorimeter
C. Bolometer
D. Pyrometer

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A pyrometer is a non-contact thermometer used to measure high temperatures. It operates on the principle of thermal radiation (Stefan-Boltzmann law or Wien's law), measuring the intensity or spectrum of electromagnetic radiation emitted by the extremely hot object. A cryometer measures very low temperatures, and a calorimeter measures heat capacity.
