The process of change from solid directly to vapour is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The process of change from solid directly to vapour is called
A. Sublimation
B. Freezing
C. Melting
D. Condensation
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Sublimation: solid → gas without liquid phase. Example: camphor, naphthalene balls, dry ice (solid CO₂). Deposition is reverse. Latent heat of sublimation involved.

Question #1
The working principle of an electric generator is:
A. Heating effect of current
B. Magnetic effect of current
C. Electromagnetic induction
D. Chemical effect of current

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Electric generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy using electromagnetic induction: rotating a coil in magnetic field (or vice versa) induces EMF due to changing magnetic flux. This is Faraday's law application. Motors use the reverse principle (force on current-carrying conductor in field). Memory tip: 'Generator: motion ⇒ electricity (induction); Motor: electricity ⇒ motion (force)'. This application question tests understanding of device principles, common in competitive exams. Always distinguish generator (induction) from motor (Lorentz force) operation.

Question #2
The scientist who discovered the nucleus of an atom is
A. Niels Bohr
B. Ernest Rutherford
C. James Chadwick
D. J.J. Thomson

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Rutherford's gold foil experiment (1911) revealed tiny, dense, positively charged nucleus. Thomson discovered electron, proposed plum-pudding. Chadwick discovered neutron. Bohr explained atomic spectra.

Question #3
Linear expansion coefficient α = 2×10⁻⁵/°C. Length increase for 1 m rod heated 50°C:
A. 1 mm
B. 0.01 mm
C. 0.1 mm
D. 10 mm

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
ΔL = L₀αΔT = 1×2×10⁻⁵×50 = 100×10⁻⁵ = 10⁻³ m = 1 mm. Direct expansion formula application. Memory tip: 'ΔL = LαΔT; convert result to required units'. Tests thermal expansion calculation with unit conversion, frequently appearing in competitive exams.
