The device that converts AC to DC is
A. Transformer
B. Rectifier
C. Oscillator
D. Amplifier
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Rectifier uses diodes to convert AC to pulsating DC. Filter capacitors smooth it. Used in power supplies. Inverter does DC to AC. Transformer changes AC voltage.

Question #1
The value of universal gravitational constant G is
A. Both A and C
B. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
C. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ dyne cm²/g²
D. 9.8 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option A


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 #2
Which of the following graphs represents a body at rest?
A. Velocity-time graph with zero slope
B. Displacement-time graph parallel to time axis
C. Displacement-time graph with constant positive slope
D. Velocity-time graph with positive slope

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For a body at rest, displacement remains constant over time. The displacement-time graph is a horizontal line, parallel to time axis, indicating zero slope (velocity = 0). Option A indicates constant velocity. Option B (velocity-time zero slope) means constant velocity, not necessarily rest (could be constant non-zero velocity). Option D indicates acceleration. So C is correct.

Question #3
When a body falls freely under gravity, which statement is correct?
A. Total energy is not conserved
B. Mechanical energy remains constant
C. Kinetic energy decreases
D. Potential energy increases

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In free fall under gravity alone, mechanical energy (kinetic + potential) is conserved, assuming no air resistance. Potential energy decreases while kinetic energy increases, sum constant. Law of conservation of mechanical energy. Non-conservative forces absent.
