Question #1
If three resistors of 2 Ω, 3 Ω, and 6 Ω are connected in parallel, the equivalent resistance of the combination is:
A. 11 Ω
B. 2 Ω
C. 1 Ω
D. 0.5 Ω

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
For resistors in parallel, the reciprocal of the equivalent resistance (1/Rp) is the sum of the reciprocals of individual resistances. 1/Rp = 1/R1 + 1/R2 + 1/R3 = 1/2 + 1/3 + 1/6. Finding a common denominator (6): 1/Rp = 3/6 + 2/6 + 1/6 = 6/6 = 1. Therefore, Rp = 1 Ω.

Question #2
The graph between velocity and time for uniform acceleration is
A. Parabola
B. Straight line parallel to time axis
C. Straight line inclined to time axis
D. Circle

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
v = u + at, linear relation, slope = a. Straight line inclined. If a=0, parallel to time axis (uniform velocity). Displacement-time is parabola for uniform acceleration.

Question #3
Nuclear fusion combines:
A. Protons and electrons
B. Light nuclei
C. Neutrons and protons
D. Heavy nuclei

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Fusion: light nuclei (e.g., hydrogen) combine to form heavier nucleus (helium), releasing energy (stars, H-bomb). Fission splits heavy nuclei (U, Pu). Memory tip: 'Fusion = joining light; Fission = splitting heavy'. Nuclear reaction concept frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.
