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
Atom's nucleus contains:
A. Protons, neutrons, electrons
B. Protons and neutrons
C. Electrons and protons
D. Only protons

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Nucleus: protons (+) and neutrons (neutral); electrons orbit outside. Atomic number = proton count; mass number = protons + neutrons. Memory tip: 'Nucleus = nucleons (p+n); electrons in shells'. Basic atomic structure frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #2
The heating effect of electric current is utilised in
A. Galvanometer
B. Electric generator
C. Electric motor
D. Electric fuse

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
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.

A pump lifts 100 kg of water through 5 m in 2 s. Power (g=10) is
A. 250 W
B. 1000 W
C. 500 W
D. 2500 W

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Work = 100×10×5=5000 J. Power = 5000/2 = 2500 W.
