A. Rectifier
B. Oscillator
C. Inverter
D. Transformer
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Rectifier (diode bridge) converts AC to DC. Inverter DC to AC. Transformer changes AC voltage level. Oscillator generates AC signal. Electronic devices often need DC.

Question #1
If the error in the measurement of the momentum of a particle is +100%, what will be the percentage error in the measurement of its kinetic energy?
A. 200%
B. 100%
C. 300%
D. 400%

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Kinetic Energy (K) is given by K = p^2 / 2m. If momentum (p) increases by 100%, the new momentum is p' = p + 1.0p = 2p. The new kinetic energy is K' = (2p)^2 / 2m = 4(p^2 / 2m) = 4K. The increase is 4K - K = 3K. Percentage increase = (3K/K) * 100 = 300%.

Question #3
The time taken by light to travel from Sun to Earth is approximately:
A. 1 day
B. 8 seconds
C. 1 hour
D. 8 minutes

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Average Earth-Sun distance (1 AU) ≈ 1.5×10¹¹ m. Speed of light c = 3×10⁸ m/s. Time t = distance/speed = 1.5×10¹¹ / 3×10⁸ = 500 seconds ≈ 8.33 minutes ≈ 8 minutes. This is a standard astronomical fact. Memory aid: 'Sunlight takes 8 minutes to reach Earth; we see the Sun as it was 8 minutes ago'. This factual knowledge question tests awareness of scale in physics, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always recall key constants: Earth-Sun distance, light speed, for quick estimations.
