The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is
A. Low
B. Zero
C. Same as ammeter
D. Infinite
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Voltmeter connected parallel, should draw minimum current, so ideally infinite resistance. Ammeter connected series, ideally zero resistance. Galvanometer moderate. Practical voltmeter has high but finite resistance.

Question #1
Two balls of masses m and 2m are dropped from a height h. Neglecting air resistance, which hits the ground with greater momentum?
A. m
B. Both same
C. Depends on height
D. 2m

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Both reach same velocity v = √(2gh). Momentum = mass × v, so larger mass has greater momentum. KE different, but momentum differs.

Question #2
Which of the following physical quantities has the same dimensional formula as that of pressure?
A. Energy per unit volume
B. Force per unit length
C. Momentum per unit area
D. Power per unit volume

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Pressure has dimensions [ML⁻¹T⁻²]. Energy per unit volume: Energy is [ML²T⁻²], volume is [L³], so [ML²T⁻²]/[L³] = [ML⁻¹T⁻²], matching pressure. Force per unit length is [MLT⁻²]/[L] = [MT⁻²]. Momentum per unit area is [MLT⁻¹]/[L²] = [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]. Power per unit volume is [ML²T⁻³]/[L³] = [ML⁻¹T⁻³]. This dimensional equivalence explains why pressure appears in Bernoulli's equation alongside energy density. Memory aid: Pressure and energy density both represent stored energy per spatial dimension.

Question #3
The process of a solid changing directly into gas is
A. Melting
B. Condensation
C. Sublimation
D. Evaporation

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Sublimation: solid → gas. Example: dry ice (CO₂), camphor. Deposition is reverse (gas → solid). Melting solid → liquid, evaporation liquid → gas.
