Question #1
The dimensional formula for work is
A. [MLT⁻¹]
B. [MLT⁻²]
C. [ML²T⁻²]
D. [ML²T⁻¹]

Correct Answer: Option C

Question #2
The electric field due to an infinite plane sheet of charge with surface charge density σ is:
A. Zero
B. σ/(2ε₀)
C. σ/ε₀
D. 2σ/ε₀

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Using Gauss's law, for an infinite sheet, electric field E = σ/(2ε₀), directed perpendicular to the sheet. This is uniform and independent of distance from the sheet. Option A is for field near conductor surface; C and D are incorrect. Memory aid: 'Infinite sheet: E = σ/(2ε₀); conductor surface: E = σ/ε₀'. This conceptual question tests electrostatics fundamentals, crucial for competitive exams. Always distinguish between conducting and non-conacting sheets, as field expressions differ due to charge distribution.

Question #3
If the earth suddenly shrinks to half its present radius without any change in its mass, the duration of a day on earth will become:
A. 48 hours
B. 12 hours
C. 24 hours
D. 6 hours

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
By conservation of angular momentum: I1w1 = I2w2. Moment of inertia of a solid sphere is 2/5 MR^2. So, (R1^2) * (2pi/T1) = (R2^2) * (2pi/T2). If radius halves, R2 = R1/2. R1^2 / T1 = (R1/2)^2 / T2. T2 = T1 / 4. A day is 24 hours, so 24/4 = exactly 6 hours.
