Question #1
Two parallel wires carrying direct currents in the opposite directions will:
A. Attract each other
B. Rotate perpendicular to each other
C. Repel each other
D. Have no effect on each other

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
According to Ampere's force law, parallel wires carrying currents in the SAME direction create magnetic fields that attract each other. Conversely, parallel wires carrying currents in OPPOSITE directions create magnetic fields that push against each other, causing the wires to repel. Exam tip: 'Same' Attracts, 'Opposite' Repels (reverse of charges!).

Question #2
The value of universal gravitational constant G is
A. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ dyne cm²/g²
B. 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg²
C. Both A and C
D. 9.8 m/s²

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
G = 6.67 × 10⁻¹¹ N m²/kg² in SI, and 6.67 × 10⁻⁸ dyne cm²/g² in CGS. Both are correct. Important constant, measured by Cavendish. g is acceleration due to gravity, different.

Question #3
A piece of ice floats in a glass of water filled to brim. When ice melts, water level
A. First decreases then increases
B. Decreases
C. Increases
D. Remains same

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Ice displaces water equal to its weight. When melted, it occupies exactly that volume. So level unchanged. Classic question.
