The heating effect of electric current is utilised in MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The heating effect of electric current is utilised in
A. Galvanometer
B. Electric generator
C. Electric motor
D. Electric fuse
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Fuse uses heating effect (Joule heating I²R). When current exceeds limit, fuse wire melts due to heat, breaking circuit. Motor uses magnetic effect, generator uses electromagnetic induction, galvanometer detects current. Iron box, heater also use heating effect.

Question #3
Which of the following statements is true regarding uniform circular motion?
A. Kinetic energy changes continuously
B. Speed is constant
C. Acceleration is zero
D. Velocity is constant

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In uniform circular motion, speed remains constant but direction changes, so velocity (vector) changes. There is centripetal acceleration towards centre, so acceleration is not zero. Kinetic energy = ½mv², depends on speed, so remains constant. Thus, only speed is constant.
