Torque dimensions same as: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Torque dimensions same as:
A. Force
B. Momentum
C. Power
D. Work
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Torque τ = r×F: [L][MLT⁻²] = [ML²T⁻²]. Work W = F·d: same dimensions. Physically distinct: torque (vector, rotational), work (scalar, energy). Memory tip: 'Torque and work: same [ML²T⁻²]; different physical meaning'. Dimensional analysis frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
Diffraction demonstrates light's:
A. Particle nature
B. Dual nature
C. Wave nature
D. EM nature

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Diffraction (bending around obstacles) is wave phenomenon explained by Huygens' principle. Particle model predicts straight-line propagation. Memory aid: 'Diffraction/interference ⇒ wave nature; photoelectric ⇒ particle nature'. Wave-particle duality frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #3
A 1000 W heater is used for 2 hours. Energy consumed in kWh is
A. 2 kWh
B. 1000 kWh
C. 0.5 kWh
D. 2000 kWh

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Power = 1 kW (1000 W). Time = 2 h. Energy = Power × time = 1 × 2 = 2 kWh. 1 kWh = 3.6 × 10⁶ J, but here answer in kWh. Commercial unit.
