The resistance of a conducting wire is directly proportional to its MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The resistance of a conducting wire is directly proportional to its
A. Cross-sectional area
B. Volume
C. Diameter
D. Length
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
R ∝ L, inversely proportional to A. Longer wire more resistance. Thicker wire less resistance. R = ρL/A. Resistivity ρ constant for material.

Question #1
Significant figures in 0.004050:
A. 4
B. 5
C. 3
D. 7

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Rules: leading zeros not significant; trailing zero after decimal is significant. Digits 4,0,5,0 are significant ⇒ 4 sig figs. Memory tip: 'Start at first non-zero; include trailing zeros after decimal'. Measurement precision concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
A body is thrown vertically upward. At the highest point, its acceleration is
A. Variable
B. Zero
C. g downward
D. g upward

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
At highest point velocity is zero, but acceleration due to gravity is still g (9.8 m/s²) downward. This causes it to fall back. Acceleration constant throughout free fall.
