Question #1
The working principle of an electric generator is:
A. Heating effect of current
B. Electromagnetic induction
C. Magnetic effect of current
D. Chemical effect of current

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Electric generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy using electromagnetic induction: rotating a coil in magnetic field (or vice versa) induces EMF due to changing magnetic flux. This is Faraday's law application. Motors use the reverse principle (force on current-carrying conductor in field). Memory tip: 'Generator: motion ⇒ electricity (induction); Motor: electricity ⇒ motion (force)'. This application question tests understanding of device principles, common in competitive exams. Always distinguish generator (induction) from motor (Lorentz force) operation.

Question #2
Which of the following colors of light has the lowest frequency?
A. Green
B. Red
C. Violet
D. Blue

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In the visible spectrum (VIBGYOR), wavelength increases from Violet to Red. Since speed = frequency × wavelength (c = fλ), frequency is inversely proportional to wavelength. Red light has the longest wavelength and therefore the lowest frequency and lowest energy. Violet has the shortest wavelength and highest frequency.

Question #3
The atmosphere exerts pressure because
A. Air has mass and is attracted by gravity
B. Air is hot
C. Air is moving
D. Air is weightless

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Air has mass, gravity pulls it, creating weight. Pressure at any point is weight of air column above per unit area. At sea level ~10⁵ Pa. Decreases with altitude.
