The work done in moving a charge of 2 C between two points with potential difference of 12 V is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The work done in moving a charge of 2 C between two points with potential difference of 12 V is:
A. 6 J
B. 14 J
C. 0.167 J
D. 24 J
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Work done W = charge (Q) × potential difference (V). Thus W = 2 C × 12 V = 24 J. This follows from definition of voltage: 1 volt = 1 joule per coulomb. The work done equals the change in electrical potential energy. This fundamental relationship is crucial in electricity. Memory tip: W = QV is analogous to mechanical work = force × distance. Such direct formula applications are common in competitive exams to test basic concept retention. Always verify units: coulomb × volt = joule, confirming dimensional consistency.

Question #1
A voltmeter is always connected in
A. Either series or parallel
B. Across the ammeter
C. Series
D. Parallel

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Voltmeter measures potential difference, must be parallel.

Question #2
The resistance of a wire is R. If its length is doubled and area is halved, the new resistance is
A. 2R
B. R/2
C. 4R
D. R

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
R ∝ L/A. New L'=2L, A'=A/2 => R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R. Alternatively, volume constant? Not given, here both changed independently. So 4R.

Question #3
If a stone is dropped from a balloon rising upwards with a velocity of 10 m/s at a height of 75 m, what is the initial velocity of the stone relative to the ground?
A. 9.8 m/s downwards
B. 0 m/s
C. 10 m/s downwards
D. 10 m/s upwards

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Due to the inertia of motion, when an object is dropped from a moving vehicle (or balloon), it inherits the instantaneous velocity of that vehicle. Since the balloon was moving upwards at 10 m/s, the stone's initial velocity relative to the ground is 10 m/s upwards. It will rise slightly before falling.
