Question #1
The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is
A. Infinite
B. Low
C. Same as ammeter
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Voltmeter connected parallel, should draw minimum current, so ideally infinite resistance. Ammeter connected series, ideally zero resistance. Galvanometer moderate. Practical voltmeter has high but finite resistance.

Question #3
The work done in moving a charge of 2 C between two points with potential difference of 12 V is:
A. 24 J
B. 6 J
C. 14 J
D. 0.167 J

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Work done W = charge (Q) × potential difference (V). Thus W = 2 C × 12 V = 24 J. This follows from definition of voltage: 1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb. The work done equals the change in electrical potential energy. This fundamental relationship is crucial in electricity. Memory tip: W = QV is analogous to mechanical work = force × distance. Such direct formula applications are common in competitive exams to test basic concept retention. Always verify units: coulomb × volt = joule, confirming dimensional consistency.
