Question #1
Which component in an electrical circuit is specifically designed to melt and break the circuit in the event of an overload?
A. Resistor
B. Switch
C. Capacitor
D. Fuse

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A fuse is an electrical safety device consisting of a wire made of an alloy with a low melting point. If the current exceeds a safe limit (due to a short circuit or overload), the Joules heating (I²Rt) causes the wire to melt instantly, breaking the circuit and preventing fire or damage to appliances.

Question #2
A tuning fork produces 4 beats per second when sounded with a 256 Hz standard fork. When a little wax is attached to the tuning fork, the beat frequency drops to 2 beats per second. The original frequency of the tuning fork was:
A. 258 Hz
B. 260 Hz
C. 252 Hz
D. 254 Hz

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Beat frequency is the absolute difference between two frequencies. Given 4 beats with 256 Hz, the unknown fork is either 256+4=260 Hz or 256-4=252 Hz. Adding wax increases mass, which strictly lowers the frequency of a fork. If it was 252 Hz, lowering it would increase the gap from 256, increasing beats. If it was 260 Hz, lowering it brings it closer to 256, decreasing beats to 2. Thus, it was originally 260 Hz.

Question #3
Ammeter connected in circuit:
A. Across power supply
B. Either
C. Series
D. Parallel

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ammeter measures current, must be in series so same current flows through it. Low resistance minimizes circuit disturbance. Voltmeter connects in parallel. Memory aid: 'Ammeter = series (low R); Voltmeter = parallel (high R)'. Circuit connection rule frequently tested in competitive electricity sections.
