The time period of a simple pendulum depends on MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The time period of a simple pendulum depends on
A. Amplitude of swing
B. Length of pendulum and g
C. Mass of bob
D. Nature of bob material
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
T = 2π√(L/g). For small amplitudes, period independent of amplitude and mass. Depends only on effective length and acceleration due to gravity. Used in pendulum clocks.

Question #2
The force between two charges in vacuum is F. If a medium of dielectric constant 5 is introduced, force becomes
A. F/25
B. 5F
C. 25F
D. F/5

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Coulomb's law in medium: F' = F/K, where K = dielectric constant. So F' = F/5. Permittivity of medium ε = Kε₀. Force decreases in medium.

Question #3
A 60 W bulb is used for 5 hours daily. How much electrical energy is consumed by the bulb in 30 days?
A. 900 kWh
B. 90 kWh
C. 0.9 kWh
D. 9 kWh

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Electrical energy (E) = Power (P) × Time (t). Power = 60 W = 0.06 kW. Time per day = 5 hours. Total time in 30 days = 5 × 30 = 150 hours. Energy = 0.06 kW × 150 h = 9 kWh (or 9 units of electricity). One kWh is the commercial unit of energy.
