Question #1
A geyser of 2 kW heats water. Time to raise temperature of 5 kg water from 30°C to 50°C (specific heat 4200 J/kg°C) is
A. 210 s
B. 420 s
C. 105 s
D. 840 s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Heat required Q = m c ΔT = 5 × 4200 × 20 = 420,000 J. Power 2000 W, time t = Q/P = 420000/2000 = 210 s.

Question #3
A galvanometer can be converted into an ammeter by connecting:
A. A high resistance in parallel
B. A high resistance in series
C. A low resistance in parallel
D. A low resistance in series

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
An ammeter must have very low resistance so it does not alter the circuit current it is measuring. To convert a sensitive galvanometer into an ammeter, a very low resistance called a 'shunt' is connected in parallel to it. This diverts most of the current away from the delicate galvanometer coil while still allowing a proportional measurement.
