The weight of a body is maximum at MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The weight of a body is maximum at
A. Centre of Earth
B. Poles
C. Same everywhere
D. Equator
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
g_pole > g_equator due to less centrifugal effect and Earth's oblateness. At centre g=0, weightless. So weight max at poles.

Question #1
An ammeter is always connected in
A. Series with circuit
B. Across supply
C. Either series or parallel
D. Parallel with circuit

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ammeter measures current, must be in series so full current flows through it. Low internal resistance to minimize voltage drop. Voltmeter measures potential difference, connected in parallel, high resistance.

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

Correct Answer: Option C


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.
