The instrument used to measure potential difference is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The instrument used to measure potential difference is
A. Ammeter
B. Voltmeter
C. Ohmmeter
D. Galvanometer
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Voltmeter measures potential difference in volts. Connected in parallel. Ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance. Galvanometer can be converted to voltmeter by adding high resistance in series.

Question #1
The pitch of a sound depends on its
A. Speed
B. Amplitude
C. Frequency
D. Wavelength

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Pitch is subjective perception of frequency. Higher frequency higher pitch. Amplitude determines loudness. Speed and wavelength related by v = fλ, but pitch is frequency-based. Human ear 20 Hz-20 kHz.

Question #2
The process of heat transfer in a solid metal rod is
A. Sublimation
B. Radiation
C. Conduction
D. Convection

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
In solids, heat flows by conduction (lattice vibrations and free electrons). Metals are good conductors due to free electrons. Convection in fluids, radiation no medium.

Question #3
Which thermodynamic process occurs at a constant volume?
A. Isobaric process
B. Isothermal process
C. Isochoric process
D. Adiabatic process

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
An isochoric process is a thermodynamic process in which the volume of the closed system remains constant (delta V = 0). Because there is no change in volume, the system does zero pressure-volume work (W = Pdelta V = 0). According to the first law of thermodynamics, any heat added goes entirely into increasing the internal energy. Isobaric is constant pressure; isothermal is constant temperature.
