Question #1
Work done by a force is zero when the angle between force and displacement is
A. 45°
B. 180°
C. 90°
D. 0°

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
W = Fd cosθ, cos90° = 0, so work zero. e.g., coolie carrying load horizontally.

Question #2
A 60 W bulb is used for 5 hours daily. How much electrical energy is consumed by the bulb in 30 days?
A. 900 kWh
B. 90 kWh
C. 9 kWh
D. 0.9 kWh

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Electrical energy (E) = Power (P) × Time (t). Power = 60 W = 0.06 kW. Time per day = 5 hours. Total time in 30 days = 5 × 30 = 150 hours. Energy = 0.06 kW × 150 h = 9 kWh (or 9 units of electricity). One kWh is the commercial unit of energy.

Question #3
A cell of emf 2 V and internal resistance 0.5 Ω is connected to a 3.5 Ω resistor. Terminal voltage is
A. 2 V
B. 1.75 V
C. 0.25 V
D. 1.5 V

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
I = E/(R+r) = 2/(3.5+0.5) = 2/4 = 0.5 A. Terminal V = IR = 0.5×3.5 = 1.75 V. Or E - Ir = 2 - 0.5×0.5 = 1.75 V.
