Question #1
The primary principle behind the working of a potentiometer is that the potential drop across any length of a uniform wire carrying a constant steady current is:
A. Inversely proportional to its length.
B. Directly proportional to its length.
C. Directly proportional to the square of its length.
D. Independent of its length.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A potentiometer uses a long wire of uniform cross-section and composition. When a constant steady current flows through it, Ohm's law (V = IR) and the resistance formula (R = rhoL/A) combine to give V = I(rho/A)L. Since I, rho, and A are constant, the potential drop V is strictly directly proportional to the length L of the wire.

Question #3
What is the physical meaning of the 'Work Function' of a metal in the context of the photoelectric effect?
A. The total energy of an incident photon.
B. The maximum kinetic energy of an emitted electron.
C. The electrical resistance of the metal when light shines on it.
D. The minimum energy required to eject an electron from the metal surface.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In Einstein's photoelectric theory, electrons are bound to the metal lattice. The 'work function' (often denoted by Phi or W) is defined strictly as the absolute minimum thermodynamic work (energy) needed to overcome these binding forces and remove an electron from the surface into a vacuum. If incident photon energy (hf) is less than the work function, absolutely no emission occurs.
