The electrical resistance of a conductor depends on its MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The electrical resistance of a conductor depends on its
A. Length and area of cross-section
B. Colour
C. Magnetic property
D. Transparency
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
R = ρL/A, depends on length (L), cross-sectional area (A), and resistivity (ρ) which depends on material and temperature. Not on colour or transparency.

Question #1
Assertion (A): In a free fall, a heavy object falls faster than a light object. Reason (R): Acceleration due to gravity is same for all objects.
A. Both A and R true, R not correct explanation
B. Both A and R true, R is correct explanation
C. A is true, R is false
D. A is false, R is true

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In vacuum, all objects fall at same rate. A is false. R is true. So C correct.

Question #2
An electric motor converts:
A. Magnetic energy into electrical energy
B. Electrical energy into mechanical energy
C. Mechanical energy into electrical energy
D. Chemical energy into mechanical energy

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
An electric motor is a device that utilizes the magnetic effect of electric current. When a current-carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force (Fleming's Left-Hand Rule) that causes it to rotate. Therefore, it continuously converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A generator does the reverse.

Question #3
A car moving at constant velocity of 10 m/s has net force acting on it equal to
A. Force of engine
B. Zero
C. Weight of car
D. Frictional force

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Constant velocity implies zero acceleration, net force = 0 by Newton's first law. Engine force balances friction and air resistance. Net force zero, not necessarily zero forces.
