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

The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is
A. Same as ammeter
B. Infinite
C. Zero
D. Low
Answer: Option B
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
The quantity of heat required to convert 1 kg of water at 100°C to steam at 100°C is called:
A. Latent heat of fusion
B. Thermal conductivity
C. Latent heat of vaporization
D. Specific heat capacity

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Latent heat of vaporization is the heat required to change unit mass from liquid to vapor at constant temperature (boiling point). For water, it's approximately 2260 kJ/kg. Latent heat of fusion applies to solid-liquid transition. Specific heat relates to temperature change without phase change. Thermal conductivity measures heat transfer rate through conduction. Memory aid: 'Vaporization = liquid to gas; fusion = solid to liquid'. This definition-based question tests precise terminology, crucial for thermodynamics sections in competitive exams where distractors often mix phase change terms.

Question #2
A freely falling body exhibits which type of motion?
A. Zero acceleration
B. Uniform velocity
C. Uniform acceleration
D. Non-uniform acceleration

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A freely falling body falls under the sole influence of Earth's gravity (neglecting air resistance). Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity ('g') is constant (approximately 9.8 m/s²). Because the acceleration does not change during the fall, it is an example of uniform accelerated motion.

Question #3
A vernier caliper has 20 divisions on vernier scale matching 19 main scale divisions. If main scale division is 1 mm, least count is:
A. 0.01 mm
B. 0.5 mm
C. 0.1 mm
D. 0.05 mm

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Least count = 1 MSD - 1 VSD. 20 VSD = 19 MSD ⇒ 1 VSD = 19/20 mm = 0.95 mm. LC = 1 - 0.95 = 0.05 mm. Formula: LC = MSD/n where n = vernier divisions. Memory tip: LC = smallest measurable difference = main scale value/vernier divisions. Essential for practical physics questions in competitive exams.
