Q:

For which one of the following does the centre of mass lie outside the body?

A) A fountain pen B) A cricket ball
C) A ring D) A book
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) A ring

Explanation:

For balancing the weight of ring, you need to put your finger or any solid object inside the ring so that you will be able to sustain their own weight because they are not able to sustain their own weight.so its centre of mass lies outside the body.

Q:

A   parallel-plate   capacitor,with   air   in between  the  plates,  has  capacitance  C. Now  the  space  between  the  two  plates  of the  capacitor  is  filled  with  a  dielectric  of dielectric constant 7. Then the value of the capacitance will become

A) C B) C/7
C) 7C D) 14C
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 7C

Explanation:

As  the  capacitance  is  charged  by the  factor  equal  to  the  value  of dielectric constant, Hence, C’ = kC = 7C

Q:

Which   one   of   the   following   is   not   a semiconductor?

A) Silicon B) Germanium
C) Quartz D) Gallium arsenide
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Quartz

Explanation:

Semiconductors are the basic materials used in the present solid state electronic devices like diode, transistor, ICs, etc. 2. Lattice structure and the atomic structure of constituent elements decide whether a particular material will be insulator, metal or semiconductor. Semiconductors are elemental (Si, Ge) as well as compound (GaAs, CdS, etc.). Silicon, Germanium, Gallium Arsenide are semiconductors, but Quartz is an insulator.

Q:

Suppose voltage V is applied across a resistance R. The power dissipated in the resistance is P. Now the same voltage V is applied across a parallel combination of three equal resistors each of resistance R. Then the power dissipated in the second case will be

A) P B) 3P
C) p/3 D) 2p/ 3
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 3P

Explanation:

P= I^2.R where, I= Current, P= Electric Power, R=Resistance. Here all the resistance is put in parallel combination and in parallel combination the value of Resistance decreases and dissipation of power increase, hence 3 times more power will be dissipated(3P).

Q:

When a piece of pure silicon is doped with aluminium, then

A) the conductivity of the doped silicon piece will remain the same B) the doped silicon piece will become n-type
C) the doped silicon piece will become p-type D) the resistivity of the doped silicon piece will increase
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) the doped silicon piece will become p-type

Explanation:

p type of semiconductor is obtained when Silicon is doped with a trivalent impurity like Aluminium. Aluminium is a p-type dopant, which means that when a semiconductor i.e. silicon is doped with aluminium, it creates a hole (positively charged carrier) by accepting an electron from the silicon atom. Electrical conductivity of semiconductors increasesand resistivity remains the same

Q:

Syngamy results information of 

A) haploid zygote B) diploid zygote
C) non-motile male gametes D) motile male gametes
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) diploid zygote

Explanation:

Syngamy, also known as fertilisation occurs between the male and female gametes. Syngamy may occur either externally, outside the body of organisms or internally, inside the body. Syngamy leads to formation of a specialised cell called diploid zygote.
