The unit of latent heat of fusion is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The unit of latent heat of fusion is
A. J/kg
B. J
C. W
D. J/°C
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Latent heat per unit mass, Q = mL => L = Q/m, unit J/kg (or cal/g). Specific latent heat. Not per degree.

Question #1
Interference demonstrates light's:
A. Both
B. Particle nature
C. Neither
D. Wave nature

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Interference (constructive/destructive superposition) is wave phenomenon. Young's double-slit confirmed light's wave nature. Particle nature shown by photoelectric effect. Memory aid: 'Interference/diffraction ⇒ wave; photoelectric ⇒ particle'. Wave-particle duality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #2
Assertion (A): It is easier to pull a lawn roller than to push it. Reason (R): Pushing increases the apparent weight of the roller, thereby increasing the frictional force.
A. A is true but R is false.
B. Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
C. Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
D. A is false but R is true.

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
When you pull a roller at an upward angle, the vertical component of the applied force acts strictly upwards, reducing the normal reaction (N = mg - Fsin_theta) and thus reducing friction (muN). When you push it at a downward angle, the vertical component adds to the weight (N = mg + Fsin_theta), increasing the normal reaction and consequently increasing the rolling friction.

Question #3
An electron and a proton are accelerated through the exact same potential difference. Which particle will acquire a greater kinetic energy?
A. The electron
B. The proton
C. Depends on their initial velocities
D. Both will acquire the exact same kinetic energy

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The work done by the electric field on a charged particle is completely converted into kinetic energy. Work = q * V, where q is the magnitude of the charge and V is the potential difference. Since both an electron and a proton have the exact same magnitude of charge (e = 1.6 x 10^-19 C), they acquire identical kinetic energy (eV).
