Two resistors 3 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Two resistors 3 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is
A. 3 Ω
B. 9 Ω
C. 1 Ω
D. 2 Ω
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
For parallel: 1/R = 1/3 + 1/6 = (2+1)/6 = 3/6 = 1/2 => R = 2 Ω. Product/sum rule for two: (3×6)/(3+6)=18/9=2 Ω. Always less than smallest resistance.

Question #1
The energy stored in an inductor of inductance L carrying current I is
A. LI²
B. ½LI
C. ½LI²
D. L²I

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Magnetic energy stored = ½ L I², analogous to capacitor energy ½ C V². L is inductance in henry (H). Energy stored in magnetic field.

Question #2
The de Broglie wavelength associated with a moving particle is inversely proportional to its:
A. Momentum
B. Kinetic energy
C. Velocity only
D. Mass only

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Louis de Broglie proposed that matter exhibits wave-like properties. The de Broglie wavelength (lambda) of a particle is given by the formula lambda = h / p, where 'h' is Planck's constant and 'p' is the linear momentum (mass * velocity) of the particle. Therefore, the wavelength is strictly inversely proportional to the momentum of the moving particle.
