The heating element of an electric heater is made of
A. Nichrome
B. Iron
C. Aluminium
D. Copper
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Nichrome (alloy of nickel, chromium) has high resistivity and high melting point, doesn't oxidize easily at high temperature. Copper has low resistivity, not suitable for heating element.

Question #2
A convex lens is immersed in water. Its focal length
A. Remains same
B. Decreases
C. Increases
D. Becomes infinite

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Lens maker's formula: 1/f = (μ_lens/μ_medium - 1)(...). In water, relative refractive index reduces, so power decreases, focal length increases. Glass in water behaves less converging.

Question #3
According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, the force of attraction between two bodies is inversely proportional to:
A. The distance between them.
B. The product of their masses.
C. The sum of their masses.
D. The square of the distance between their centers.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states that the gravitational force (F) between two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses (m1 × m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r²) between their centers. The mathematical formula is F = G(m1m2)/r².
