Question #1
Which of the following devices relies on the heating effect of electric current?
A. Electric iron
B. Transformer
C. Electric fan
D. Electric generator

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
An electric iron contains a heating element (usually nichrome). When electric current passes through this high-resistance element, it produces heat according to Joule's law (H = I²Rt). An electric fan uses the magnetic effect (motor), a generator uses electromagnetic induction, and a transformer uses mutual induction.

Question #2
The area under acceleration-time graph represents:
A. Distance
B. Velocity
C. Displacement
D. Change in velocity

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Acceleration a = dv/dt ⇒ dv = a·dt. Integrating: ∫dv = ∫a·dt ⇒ Δv = area under a-t graph. Slope of v-t gives acceleration; area under a-t gives velocity change. Memory aid: 'a-t graph area = Δv; v-t graph area = displacement'. Graph interpretation skill essential for motion analysis in competitive exams.

Question #3
A body of mass 2 kg is moving with velocity 5 m/s. Its kinetic energy is
A. 50 J
B. 25 J
C. 10 J
D. 5 J

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
K.E. = ½ m v² = ½ × 2 × 5² = 1 × 25 = 25 J. Use formula correctly. If velocity doubled, KE quadrupled. Unit joule.
