Question #1
A brass rod of length 1 m at 0°C expands by 0.0019 m when heated to 100°C. Its linear expansion coefficient is
A. 1.9 × 10⁻⁶ /°C
B. 1.9 × 10⁻³ /°C
C. 1.9 × 10⁻⁴ /°C
D. 1.9 × 10⁻⁵ /°C

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
ΔL = α L₀ ΔT => α = ΔL/(L₀ ΔT) = 0.0019/(1×100) = 1.9×10⁻⁵ /°C. Typical for brass. Unit is per °C. Always check ΔL/L per °C.

Question #2
If the force of attraction between two objects each of mass 1 kg separated by 1 m is F, then force between 2 kg and 2 kg at same distance is
A. 4F
B. 2F
C. 8F
D. F

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
F ∝ m₁m₂. Initial: 1×1 = 1. New masses 2 and 2, product 4, so force = 4F. Distance unchanged. Universal gravitation F = Gm₁m₂/r².

Question #3
Ohm's law is valid for
A. Electrolytes
B. Semiconductors only
C. Metallic conductors at constant temperature
D. All conductors

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ohm's law V = IR holds for ohmic conductors (metals) provided temperature and physical conditions constant. Non-ohmic: semiconductors, diodes, electrolytes. Graph V-I is straight line for ohmic. Temperature changes resistance, so condition necessary.
