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

Correct Answer: Option D


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
Capacitor energy U = ½CV². If voltage doubled, energy becomes:
A. Same
B. Four times
C. Double
D. Half

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
U ∝ V². If V' = 2V, U' = 4U. Energy scales with square of voltage. Memory aid: 'Capacitor energy: U ∝ V²; double voltage ⇒ quadruple energy'. Electrostatics proportionality frequently tested in competitive exams.
