Question #1
Which of the following is a derived unit?
A. Kilogram
B. Newton
C. Candela
D. Second

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Newton = kg·m/s², derived from base units. Kilogram, second, candela are base units. Derived units expressed in terms of base units. Joule, watt, pascal are also derived.

Question #2
The time period of revolution of a geostationary satellite is:
A. 24 hours
B. 12 hours
C. 84 minutes
D. Variable

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Geostationary satellites orbit in Earth's equatorial plane with period matching Earth's rotation period (24 hours), so they appear stationary relative to ground. Orbital radius is about 42,000 km from Earth's center. Memory tip: 'Geostationary: T=24 h, equatorial orbit, fixed position; used for communication/weather satellites'. This standard result is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that geostationary is a special case of geosynchronous (same period) with zero inclination; competitive exams often compare low orbit (84 min) vs geostationary (24 h) periods.

Question #3
An electrical appliance is rated 1500 W, 220 V. What is the current drawn by it?
A. 15 A
B. 4.5 A
C. 6.8 A
D. 10 A

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The power formula is P = VI, where P is power, V is voltage, and I is current. Rearranging for current gives I = P / V. Given P = 1500 W and V = 220 V, the current I = 1500 / 220 ≈ 6.818 Amperes. Thus, 6.8 A is the closest correct answer.
