Question #1
Which of the following is a vector quantity?
A. Magnetic flux
B. Magnetic field intensity
C. Resistance
D. Electric potential

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Magnetic field intensity (H) and magnetic field (B) are vectors. Magnetic flux is scalar (Φ = B·A). Resistance scalar, potential scalar. Vector quantities have direction. Current has direction but adds by scalar law, considered tensor sometimes but in basic physics not vector.

Question #2
Which of the following is an example of a non-contact force?
A. Tension in string
B. Frictional force
C. Muscular force
D. Gravitational force

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Gravity, electrostatic, magnetic forces act without direct contact. Friction, tension, normal require contact. Field forces are non-contact.

Question #3
Fuse protects circuit by:
A. Melting on overcurrent
B. Amplifying signal
C. Limiting voltage
D. Storing energy

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Fuse wire melts when current exceeds rating (Joule heating I²R), breaking circuit to prevent damage. Sacrificial overcurrent protection. Memory aid: 'Fuse = thermal cutoff; rated current slightly above normal'. Safety device function frequently tested in competitive electricity sections.
