Which of the following colours of light has minimum wavelength?
A. Violet
B. Blue
C. Red
D. Green
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Violet ~400 nm, shortest in visible. Red ~700 nm, longest. Order VIBGYOR. Shorter wavelength higher frequency, more energy. Ultraviolet beyond violet.

Question #1
The power factor in an AC circuit is defined as:
A. Cosine of phase angle between voltage and current
B. Both (a) and (c)
C. Ratio of apparent power to true power
D. Ratio of resistance to impedance

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Power factor = cosφ, where φ is phase angle between voltage and current. Also, power factor = R/Z (resistance/impedance) for series circuits, and = true power (W) / apparent power (VA). Thus both (a) and (c) are correct definitions. Memory tip: 'Power factor = cosφ = R/Z = P/S; ideal = 1 (purely resistive)'. This definition question tests AC circuit knowledge, crucial for competitive exams. Always link power factor to energy efficiency: low power factor means more current for same power, increasing losses.

Question #2
The magnetic field inside a long, straight, current-carrying solenoid is:
A. Directly proportional to the radius of the solenoid
B. Zero
C. Stronger at the ends than at the center
D. Uniform (same at all points)

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
An ideal solenoid consists of tightly packed coils. When current passes through it, the magnetic field lines inside the solenoid are parallel straight lines. This indicates that the magnetic field is uniform in magnitude and direction at all points strictly inside the central region of the solenoid. The field strength is given by B = mu_0 * n * I.

Question #3
The law of conservation of energy states that
A. Total energy always increases
B. Energy can be destroyed but not created
C. Energy can neither be created nor destroyed, only transformed
D. Energy can be created but not destroyed

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
First law of thermodynamics: Energy is conserved in an isolated system. It changes forms (kinetic to potential etc.) but total constant. Perpetual motion machine impossible.
