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

The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is
A. Low
B. Infinite
C. Zero
D. Same as ammeter
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
A boy is sitting on a rotating chair with his arms folded. If he suddenly extends his arms, what will happen to his angular velocity?
A. It will remain the same.
B. It will decrease.
C. It will increase.
D. It will become zero.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
This is based on the conservation of angular momentum (L = Iω), where 'I' is the moment of inertia and 'ω' is angular velocity. When the boy extends his arms, mass moves further from the axis of rotation, increasing his moment of inertia (I). Since 'L' is conserved, an increase in 'I' must result in a decrease in angular velocity (ω).

Hydraulic brakes used in automobiles operate on the basis of:
A. Pascal's Law
B. Bernoulli's Theorem
C. Archimedes' Principle
D. Newton's Law of Viscosity

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Hydraulic brakes operate on Pascal's Law. It states that an external pressure applied to an enclosed, incompressible fluid is transmitted undiminished equally in all directions throughout the fluid volume. When force is applied to the small brake pedal cylinder, it exerts a large pressure that is transmitted to the larger wheel cylinders, amplifying the force.

Question #3
The splitting of white light into seven colours is called
A. Total internal reflection
B. Dispersion
C. Scattering
D. Refraction

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Dispersion: separation due to different refractive indices for different colours. Refraction is bending. Scattering (Tyndall effect) makes sky blue. Total internal reflection in optical fibers.
