Question #1
The heating element of an electric heater is made of
A. Copper
B. Iron
C. Nichrome
D. Aluminium

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Nichrome (alloy of nickel, chromium) has high resistivity and high melting point, doesn't oxidize easily at high temperature. Copper has low resistivity, not suitable for heating element.

Question #2
A concave mirror forms a virtual, erect, and magnified image. Where is the object placed?
A. Between the pole (P) and the focus (F)
B. Between the center of curvature (C) and the focus (F)
C. Beyond the center of curvature (C)
D. At the focus (F)

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A concave mirror forms real and inverted images in most positions. The only exception is when the object is placed very close to the mirror, specifically between the pole (P) and the principal focus (F). In this position, the reflected rays diverge, forming a virtual, erect, and magnified image behind the mirror. This is why concave mirrors are used as shaving or makeup mirrors.

Question #3
The number of significant figures in 0.0034060 is
A. 4
B. 7
C. 5
D. 6

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Leading zeros (before first non-zero digit) are not significant. So 0.0034060: the first non-zero is 3, then 4,0,6 are significant, and the trailing zero after decimal is significant. Thus significant digits are 3,4,0,6,0 — 5 digits. Note: The last zero indicates precision. Answer is 5.
