Which of the following is a good conductor of electricity?
A. Copper
B. Glass
C. Rubber
D. Wood
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Copper has free electrons, very low resistivity, excellent conductor. Glass, rubber, wood are insulators. Silver best conductor, but copper widely used. Graphite conducts but non-metal.

Question #1
Two balls of masses m and 2m are dropped from a height h. Neglecting air resistance, which hits the ground with greater momentum?
A. 2m
B. Depends on height
C. m
D. Both same

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Both reach same velocity v = √(2gh). Momentum = mass × v, so larger mass has greater momentum. KE different, but momentum differs.

Question #2
In standard AC household supply in India, the frequency of the alternating current is 50 Hz. How many times per second does the current change its direction?
A. 100 times
B. 25 times
C. 50 times
D. 0 times

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A frequency of 50 Hz means there are 50 complete wave cycles per second. A single complete sinusoidal cycle consists of one positive half-cycle and one negative half-cycle. Therefore, the current reaches zero and reverses its direction exactly twice during each complete cycle. For 50 cycles, the current changes direction 50 * 2 = 100 times per second.

Question #3
A tuning fork produces 4 beats per second when sounded with a 256 Hz standard fork. When a little wax is attached to the tuning fork, the beat frequency drops to 2 beats per second. The original frequency of the tuning fork was:
A. 254 Hz
B. 252 Hz
C. 258 Hz
D. 260 Hz

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Beat frequency is the absolute difference between two frequencies. Given 4 beats with 256 Hz, the unknown fork is either 256+4=260 Hz or 256-4=252 Hz. Adding wax increases mass, which strictly lowers the frequency of a fork. If it was 252 Hz, lowering it would increase the gap from 256, increasing beats. If it was 260 Hz, lowering it brings it closer to 256, decreasing beats to 2. Thus, it was originally 260 Hz.
