Question #1
What is the physical meaning of the 'Work Function' of a metal in the context of the photoelectric effect?
A. The maximum kinetic energy of an emitted electron.
B. The minimum energy required to eject an electron from the metal surface.
C. The total energy of an incident photon.
D. The electrical resistance of the metal when light shines on it.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
In Einstein's photoelectric theory, electrons are bound to the metal lattice. The 'work function' (often denoted by Phi or W) is defined strictly as the absolute minimum thermodynamic work (energy) needed to overcome these binding forces and remove an electron from the surface into a vacuum. If incident photon energy (hf) is less than the work function, absolutely no emission occurs.

Question #2
An electric motor converts:
A. Mechanical energy into electrical energy
B. Electrical energy into mechanical energy
C. Chemical energy into mechanical energy
D. Magnetic energy into electrical energy

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
An electric motor is a device that utilizes the magnetic effect of electric current. When a current-carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a force (Fleming's Left-Hand Rule) that causes it to rotate. Therefore, it continuously converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. A generator does the reverse.

The principle of a pressure cooker is
A. Increase in pressure raises boiling point
B. Increase in pressure lowers boiling point
C. Decrease in pressure raises boiling point
D. No effect on boiling point

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Higher pressure inside, boiling point >100°C, food cooks faster.
