Question #1
The uncertainty principle was proposed by
A. Heisenberg
B. Planck

Question #2
The magnetic field inside a long, straight, current-carrying solenoid is:
A. Directly proportional to the radius of the solenoid
B. Zero
C. Stronger at the ends than at the center
D. Uniform (same at all points)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
An ideal solenoid consists of tightly packed coils. When current passes through it, the magnetic field lines inside the solenoid are parallel straight lines. This indicates that the magnetic field is uniform in magnitude and direction at all points strictly inside the central region of the solenoid. The field strength is given by B = mu_0 * n * I.

Question #3
A geostationary satellite orbits the Earth from:
A. North to South
B. East to West
C. South to North
D. West to East

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A geostationary satellite must appear stationary to an observer on the Earth's surface. To achieve this, it must orbit in the exact equatorial plane and strictly follow the Earth's rotation. Since the Earth rotates on its axis from West to East, the geostationary satellite must also orbit from West to East.
