The device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is
A. Generator
B. Motor
C. Transformer
D. Battery
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Electric generator (dynamo/alternator) works on electromagnetic induction: mechanical rotation induces emf. Motor does opposite. Transformer changes voltage. Battery converts chemical to electrical.

Question #2
In a series circuit, which quantity remains the same across all components?
A. Resistance
B. Voltage
C. Current
D. Power

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In series circuits, current is the same through all components because there's only one path for charge flow. Voltage divides across components proportional to resistance (V = IR). Resistance and power vary per component. Memory aid: 'Series: same current; Parallel: same voltage'. This fundamental circuit property is frequently tested in competitive exams to assess basic electronics understanding. Always apply Kirchhoff's current law: current entering a junction equals current leaving; in series, no junctions, so current constant.

Question #3
A geyser of 2 kW heats water. Time to raise temperature of 5 kg water from 30°C to 50°C (specific heat 4200 J/kg°C) is
A. 840 s
B. 420 s
C. 105 s
D. 210 s

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Heat required Q = m c ΔT = 5 × 4200 × 20 = 420,000 J. Power 2000 W, time t = Q/P = 420000/2000 = 210 s.
