Question #1
A fuse wire has
A. High melting point, low resistance
B. Low melting point, low resistance
C. High melting point, high resistance
D. Low melting point, high resistance

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Fuse wire must melt easily (low MP) and develop enough heat (high R) to break circuit on overload.

Question #2
de Broglie wavelength λ = h/p. For electron, λ ∝:
A. 1/v²
B. v
C. v²
D. 1/v

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
p = mv ⇒ λ = h/(mv) ⇒ λ ∝ 1/v for constant mass. Higher velocity ⇒ shorter wavelength. Memory tip: 'λ = h/mv; faster particle ⇒ smaller wavelength'. Quantum mechanics relation frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #3
The specific resistance (resistivity) of a metallic conductor depends exclusively upon its:
A. Length
B. Cross-sectional area
C. Nature of material and temperature
D. Volume

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Resistance depends on length and area (R = rho * L / A), but specific resistance or resistivity (rho) is an intrinsic property of the material itself. It does not depend on the geometric dimensions of the conductor (length, area, volume). Resistivity strictly depends on the atomic structure (nature of the material) and the thermal vibrations (temperature of the material).
