Question #1
The working principle of a Venturimeter, used to measure the flow rate of a liquid through a pipe, is primarily based on:
A. Stokes' Law
B. Archimedes' Principle
C. Torricelli's Theorem
D. Bernoulli's Principle

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A Venturimeter consists of a converging pipe, a narrow throat, and a diverging pipe. As fluid passes through the constricted throat, its velocity increases. According to Bernoulli's principle, this increase in kinetic energy must be accompanied by a strictly corresponding decrease in fluid pressure. By measuring this pressure difference, the flow rate can be precisely calculated.

Question #2
A typical household refrigerator works by forcing a refrigerant fluid through a cycle of:
A. Sublimation and deposition
B. Evaporation and condensation
C. Nuclear fission and fusion
D. Ionization and recombination

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A refrigerator is a heat pump operating in reverse. A compressor squeezes the refrigerant gas, raising its temperature. As it passes through coils on the back (condenser), it releases heat and condenses into a liquid. This liquid expands through a valve, cooling rapidly, and flows into the evaporator coils inside the fridge, where it absorbs heat from the food and evaporates back into a gas.

Question #3
The phenomenon of superconductivity is characterized by:
A. High thermal conductivity
B. Zero magnetic permeability
C. Infinite electrical resistance
D. Zero electrical resistance below critical temperature

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Superconductivity occurs in certain materials below a critical temperature T_c, where electrical resistance drops abruptly to zero, and magnetic fields are expelled (Meissner effect). Option B describes insulators; C and D are unrelated. Memory aid: 'Superconductor: R=0 below T_c; perfect diamagnetism'. This modern physics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish superconductivity (zero resistance) from perfect conductivity (theoretical limit); real superconductors exhibit Meissner effect, a defining property.
