Work per unit charge to move between points is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Work per unit charge to move between points is:
A. Capacitance
B. Electric potential
C. Electric field
D. Potential energy
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Potential difference V = W/q: work per unit charge. Electric field E = F/q: force per unit charge. Memory tip: 'Potential = work/charge (scalar); Field = force/charge (vector)'. Electrostatics definition frequently tested in competitive exams.

Question #1
The working principle of LED is based on:
A. Heating effect of current
B. Incandescence
C. Fluorescence
D. Electroluminescence

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
LED (Light Emitting Diode) works on electroluminescence: when electrons recombine with holes in a semiconductor junction, energy is released as photons. This is distinct from incandescence (heating filament, like bulbs), fluorescence (absorb UV, emit visible), or heating effect. Memory aid: 'LED = semiconductor light emission; no filament'. This modern application question tests knowledge of everyday physics, common in competitive exams. Always link device to underlying phenomenon: LED (electroluminescence), laser (stimulated emission), solar cell (photovoltaic effect).

Question #2
According to the Universal Law of Gravitation, the force of attraction between two bodies is inversely proportional to:
A. The distance between them.
B. The square of the distance between their centers.
C. The sum of their masses.
D. The product of their masses.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Newton's Law of Universal Gravitation states that the gravitational force (F) between two point masses is directly proportional to the product of their masses (m1 × m2) and inversely proportional to the square of the distance (r²) between their centers. The mathematical formula is F = G(m1m2)/r².

Question #3
The process of combining two light nuclei to form a heavier nucleus is
A. Chain reaction
B. Fusion
C. Radioactive decay
D. Fission

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Nuclear fusion: e.g., hydrogen isotopes deuterium and tritium fuse to helium, releasing energy. Powers Sun and stars. Requires high temperature (thermonuclear). Fusion reactor under development.
