Which of the following is an ohmic conductor? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is an ohmic conductor?
A. Diode
B. Electrolyte
C. Transistor
D. Copper wire
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Copper wire obeys Ohm's law (V ∝ I) at constant temperature. Diode, transistor are non-ohmic (non-linear). Electrolytes can be non-linear. Metals are ohmic.

Question #1
The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface is g. At a height equal to Earth's radius above the surface, g' will be:
A. g/2
B. 2g
C. g/9
D. g/4

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Acceleration due to gravity at height h: g' = gR²/(R+h)², where R is Earth's radius. Given h = R, so g' = gR²/(2R)² = gR²/4R² = g/4. This inverse square law dependence arises from Newton's law of gravitation. At depth, variation differs, but for height, this formula applies. Memory aid: Double the distance from center ⇒ gravity becomes one-fourth. This standard result is frequently tested in gravitation sections of competitive exams. Always verify whether height or depth is specified, as formulas differ significantly.
