The gravitational constant G has dimensions MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The gravitational constant G has dimensions
A. [ML²T⁻²]
B. [M⁻¹L³T⁻¹]
C. [M⁻²L³T⁻²]
D. [M⁻¹L³T⁻²]
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
F = G m1 m2 / r² => G = F r² / (m1 m2) => [MLT⁻²][L²]/[M²] = [M⁻¹L³T⁻²].

Question #1
The work done in moving a unit positive charge from one point to another against an electric field is known as:
A. Capacitance
B. Electric Field Intensity
C. Electric Flux
D. Potential Difference

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
By definition, the electric potential difference between two points in an electric field is the amount of external work required to move a unit positive charge (1 Coulomb) slowly and without acceleration from one point to the other against the electrostatic force. The SI unit of potential difference is the Volt (Joules/Coulomb).

Question #2
A seismograph is used to detect:
A. Atmospheric pressure changes
B. Sound waves in water
C. Earthquakes
D. Magnetic field variations

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Seismograph detects and records ground motions caused by earthquakes, volcanic activity, or explosions. It measures seismic waves (P-waves, S-waves). Barometer detects pressure changes; hydrophone detects underwater sound; magnetometer detects magnetic fields. Memory tip: 'Seismo = earthquake (like seismology)'. This instrument-application question tests knowledge of geophysical tools, frequently examined in competitive exams. Always associate instrument names with their field of use: seismograph (geology), barometer (meteorology), etc.

Question #3
The kinetic energy of a body is 100 J and momentum 50 kg m/s. Mass is
A. 12.5 kg
B. 4 kg
C. 2 kg
D. 25 kg

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
K = p²/(2m) => 100 = 2500/(2m) => m = 2500/200 = 12.5 kg.
