Question #1
A transformer has 50 turns in the primary coil and 1000 turns in the secondary coil. If the primary voltage is 220V, what is the secondary voltage?
A. 4400 V
B. 22000 V
C. 11 V
D. 440 V

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The transformer equation relates voltages to the number of turns: V_secondary / V_primary = N_secondary / N_primary. We have N_p = 50, N_s = 1000, and V_p = 220V. Substituting the values gives V_s / 220 = 1000 / 50. V_s = 220 * 20 = 4400 Volts. This is a step-up transformer, increasing the voltage strictly by a factor of 20.

Question #2
The specific heat capacity of a substance is defined as the amount of heat required to:
A. Vaporize 1 kg of the substance at its boiling point
B. Raise the temperature of 1 kg of the substance by 1°C
C. Raise the temperature of 1 g of the substance by 1°C
D. Melt 1 kg of the substance at its melting point

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Specific heat capacity c is defined as heat required to raise temperature of unit mass (1 kg in SI) by 1°C (or 1 K). Formula: Q = mcΔT. Option D describes specific heat in cgs units (cal/g°C), but SI definition uses kg. Options A and C describe latent heats. Memory aid: 'Specific heat = per kg per degree'. This precise definition is crucial for calorimetry problems. Competitive exams often test unit awareness (kg vs g) to distinguish careful students. Always note the mass unit in the definition context.

Question #3
The fundamental principle utilized in an optical endoscope, which allows doctors to examine the inside of the human body, is:
A. Total internal reflection of light
B. Diffraction of light
C. Polarization of light
D. Scattering of light

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Endoscopes consist of bundles of flexible optical fibers. Light introduced at one end is trapped inside the fiber core because it repeatedly strikes the boundary at an angle greater than the critical angle. This Total Internal Reflection allows light and visual images to be transmitted through complex, curving paths inside the body.
