The device which converts AC to DC is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The device which converts AC to DC is called
A. Inverter
B. Rectifier
C. Transformer
D. Oscillator
Answer: Option B
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
According to Brewster's Law, when unpolarized light is incident on a transparent medium at the polarizing angle (Brewster's angle), the reflected and refracted rays are:
A. Totally internally reflected
B. At 45 degrees to each other
C. At exactly 90 degrees to each other
D. Parallel to each other

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Brewster's Law states that when light hits a dielectric boundary at a specific angle of incidence (Brewster's angle, theta_p), the reflected light is completely plane-polarized. At this exact geometric condition, the angle between the reflected ray and the refracted (transmitted) ray is strictly 90 degrees.

Question #2
Beta rays emitted by radioactive substances are essentially:
A. High-speed electrons
B. Neutrons
C. Electromagnetic waves
D. Helium nuclei

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
During beta decay, a neutron in an unstable nucleus transforms into a proton and an electron. The proton remains in the nucleus, but the electron is ejected at high speed. These ejected, high-energy electrons are called beta rays (or beta particles). Gamma rays are electromagnetic waves, and alpha particles are helium nuclei.

Question #3
Pressure at depth h in fluid: P = P₀ + ρgh. If depth doubles, pressure increase is:
A. Four times
B. Same
C. Half
D. Double

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Gauge pressure (excluding atmospheric) P_gauge = ρgh ∝ h. Doubling depth doubles gauge pressure. Total pressure P = P₀ + ρgh increases but not exactly double due to P₀ term. Question asks about pressure increase (ρgh part). Memory tip: 'Hydrostatic pressure ∝ depth'. Fundamental fluid statics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.
