Question #1
Pressure at depth h in fluid: P = P₀ + ρgh. If depth doubles, pressure increase is:
A. Same
B. Double
C. Four times
D. Half

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Gauge pressure (excluding atmospheric) P_gauge = ρgh ∝ h. Doubling depth doubles gauge pressure. Total pressure P = P₀ + ρgh increases but not exactly double due to P₀ term. Question asks about pressure increase (ρgh part). Memory tip: 'Hydrostatic pressure ∝ depth'. Fundamental fluid statics concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
The electric field due to an infinite plane sheet of charge with surface charge density σ is:
A. σ/ε₀
B. Zero
C. 2σ/ε₀
D. σ/(2ε₀)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Using Gauss's law, for an infinite sheet, electric field E = σ/(2ε₀), directed perpendicular to the sheet. This is uniform and independent of distance from the sheet. Option A is for field near conductor surface; C and D are incorrect. Memory aid: 'Infinite sheet: E = σ/(2ε₀); conductor surface: E = σ/ε₀'. This conceptual question tests electrostatics fundamentals, crucial for competitive exams. Always distinguish between conducting and non-conacting sheets, as field expressions differ due to charge distribution.
