Question #1
Series LCR at resonance: impedance is:
A. Minimum (=R)
B. Zero
C. Infinite
D. Maximum

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Resonance: X_L = X_C ⇒ they cancel ⇒ Z = R (minimum). Current maximum at resonance. Memory tip: 'Series resonance: Z_min = R; parallel: Z_max'. AC circuit concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
A 100 W bulb operates at 200 V. Its resistance is
A. 200 Ω
B. 100 Ω
C. 400 Ω
D. 50 Ω

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Power P = V²/R => R = V²/P = 200²/100 = 40000/100 = 400 Ω. Also current I = P/V = 0.5 A, R = V/I = 200/0.5 = 400 Ω. Use P = V²/R for direct calculation.

Question #3
When an ambulance with a blaring siren moves towards an observer, the pitch of the siren appears to be higher. This is due to:
A. The Doppler Effect
B. Acoustic resonance
C. Reverberation
D. Interference of sound waves

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The Doppler Effect is the apparent change in the frequency (and thus pitch) of a wave due to the relative motion between the source and the observer. As the ambulance approaches, sound waves get compressed, increasing the perceived frequency (higher pitch). As it moves away, waves stretch, lowering the frequency.
