The device used to measure electric potential difference is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The device used to measure electric potential difference is
A. Ammeter
B. Voltmeter
C. Galvanometer
D. Ohmmeter
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Voltmeter measures potential difference in volts. Connected in parallel, high resistance. Galvanometer detects small current, can be converted to ammeter/voltmeter. Ammeter for current. Ohmmeter for resistance.

Question #2
The frequency of a source of sound is 500 Hz. The number of vibrations it makes in 2 minutes is
A. 60000
B. 500
C. 1000
D. 30000

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Frequency = vibrations per second. 500 vibrations per second. In 2 min = 120 s, total vibrations = 500 × 120 = 60,000. Simple multiplication.

Question #3
A constant force acting on a body of mass 5 kg changes its speed from 2 m/s to 8 m/s in 10 s. The magnitude of force is
A. 0.5 N
B. 3 N
C. 1 N
D. 5 N

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Acceleration a = (v-u)/t = (8-2)/10 = 0.6 m/s². Force F = m×a = 5 × 0.6 = 3 N. Alternatively, impulse = change in momentum = 5×(8-2) = 30 kg m/s, time = 10 s, so average force = 30/10 = 3 N. Always check direction, but magnitude is 3 N.
