Question #1
A convex mirror of focal length f forms an image of a distant object. The image is
A. Real, inverted, diminished
B. Virtual, inverted, enlarged
C. Virtual, erect, diminished
D. Real, erect, enlarged

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Convex mirror diverges light, forms virtual, erect, diminished image behind mirror for any object position. Focal length positive by sign convention but image always virtual (upright). Used in rear-view mirrors.

Question #2
The work done in moving a unit positive charge between two points in an electric field is called:
A. Electric potential energy
B. Electric potential
C. Electric field intensity
D. Capacitance

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Electric potential V at a point is defined as work done per unit charge to bring a test charge from infinity to that point: V = W/q. Thus potential difference between two points is work per unit charge to move between them. Electric field intensity is force per unit charge; potential energy is work to assemble charges; capacitance is charge storage ability. Memory tip: 'Potential = work per unit charge; field = force per unit charge'. This definition-based question tests electrostatics fundamentals, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always distinguish potential (scalar, work/charge) from field (vector, force/charge).

Question #3
The working of an electric motor is based on
A. Magnetic effect of current
B. Electromagnetic induction
C. Chemical effect of current
D. Heating effect of current

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Motor converts electrical to mechanical energy using force on a current-carrying conductor in magnetic field (F = BIL). Electromagnetic induction is for generator. Motor principle: A current-carrying coil experiences torque in magnetic field.
