A. Coulomb
B. Ampere
C. Oersted
D. Faraday

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction in 1831: changing magnetic field induces emf. Oersted discovered magnetic effect of current. Ampere gave laws of magnetic force between currents. Coulomb for electrostatics.

Question #2
The pitch of a sound becomes higher if
A. Wavelength increases
B. Speed decreases
C. Amplitude increases
D. Frequency increases

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Higher frequency → higher pitch. Amplitude increases loudness. Wavelength inversely proportional to frequency (v constant). So increasing frequency increases pitch.

Question #3
The value of g at the centre of Earth is
A. 9.8 m/s²
B. 4.9 m/s²
C. Zero
D. Infinite

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
g decreases with depth: g' = g(1 - d/R). At centre d=R, g'=0. Weightless at centre. At poles g=9.83, equator 9.78. At surface it's maximum.
