Question #1
If the percentage error in measuring the radius of a sphere is 2%, what will be the percentage error in the calculation of its volume?
A. 4%
B. 6%
C. 8%
D. 2%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The volume of a sphere is given by V = (4/3)πr³. The formula for relative error in volume is (ΔV/V) = 3 × (Δr/r). Since the percentage error in radius (Δr/r × 100) is 2%, the percentage error in volume will be 3 × 2% = 6%. Constants like 4/3 and π do not contribute to the error.

Question #2
The potential at a point due to a point charge is 10 V at distance 2 m. Potential at 4 m is
A. 20 V
B. 5 V
C. 2.5 V
D. 10 V

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
V ∝ 1/r. So if r doubled, V halved = 5 V.

Question #3
According to the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom, the total energy of an electron in the nth stationary orbit is directly proportional to:
A. n^2
B. 1 / n^2
C. n
D. 1 / n

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The total energy of an electron in a hydrogen-like atom in the nth orbit is strictly negative and given by the mathematical formula E_n = -13.6 Z^2 / n^2 (in eV). This formula demonstrates that the total energy is inversely proportional to the square of the principal quantum number (n^2).
