Which of the following materials is used as a fuse wire?
A. Silver
B. Aluminium
C. Tin-lead alloy
D. Copper
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Fuse wire made of alloy of tin and lead (or copper with low melting point). It has low melting point and high resistance. Copper has high melting point, not suitable for fuse. Silver expensive. Aluminium not typical.
Explanation:
Convex mirror gives wider field of view, always forms virtual, erect, diminished image. Allows driver to see larger area. Concave can magnify but field narrow. Plane gives normal view but limited field.
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity c is defined as heat required to raise temperature of unit mass (1 kg in SI) by 1°C (or 1 K). Formula: Q = mcΔT. Option D describes specific heat in cgs units (cal/g°C), but SI definition uses kg. Options A and C describe latent heats. Memory aid: 'Specific heat = per kg per degree'. This precise definition is crucial for calorimetry problems. Competitive exams often test unit awareness (kg vs g) to distinguish careful students. Always note the mass unit in the definition context.
