The magnetic field inside a long straight solenoid is
A. Zero
B. Inversely proportional to current
C. Strong at ends and weak in middle
D. Uniform
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Ideal solenoid interior has uniform magnetic field B = μ₀ n I, parallel to axis. Outside field weak. Used in electromagnets, relays. Uniformity for scientific instruments.

Question #1
Weight of 10 kg mass on Moon (g_moon ≈ g_earth/6) is:
A. 60 N
B. 10 N
C. 16.7 N
D. 100 N

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Weight W = mg. On Earth: 10×10 = 100 N. On Moon: g_moon ≈ 10/6 ≈ 1.67 m/s². W_moon = 10×1.67 ≈ 16.7 N. Mass remains 10 kg; weight changes with gravity. Memory tip: 'Mass constant; weight ∝ g'. Tests mass-weight distinction and gravity variation, common conceptual question in competitive exams.

Question #3
The process of transfer of heat in fluids by actual movement of particles is called
A. Convection
B. Evaporation
C. Conduction
D. Radiation

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Convection requires medium, movement of hot and cold masses. Land/sea breeze, trade winds, heating water. Conduction vibration transfer without particle movement.
