Q:

Force of impact is the force

A) by the objects weight B) by the speed of the object
C) when the objects meet D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) when the objects meet

Explanation:

Force of impact is the force when the objects meet. The speed of the object plays an important role in the generation of force of impact. The laws of physics determine that the force of impact increases with the square of the increase in speed.

Q:

A parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C1is  made  using  two  gold  plates.  Another parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C2is made  using  two  aluminium  plates  with same  plate  separation,  and  all  the  four plates  are  of  same  area.  If gand aPare respectively  the  electrical  resistivities  of gold and aluminium, then which one of the following relations is correct?

A) C1>C2 B) C2>C1
C) C1pa = C2pg D) C1 = C2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) C1 = C2

Explanation:

C1= capacitance of gold plates

C2=   capacitance   of   aluminium plates

rg= Gold’s resistivity

ra= Aluminium’s resistivity

As the capacitance depends on the shape,  size  &  geometrical  placing of  the  conductors  &  the  medium between them, hence, the value of capacitance  will  be  independent  of resistivity. Therefore, C1= C2

Q:

What is the relationship between Resistivity and Conductivity?

Answer

Resistivity :


Resistivity is a measure of the resistance to the flow of electrons. 


Conductivity :


Conductivity is just the inverse of resistivity, σ = 1/ρ, where σ is conductivity and ρ is resistivity.


 


Example:


Think of a pipe and water, the bigger the pipe, the easier water can flow and thus the lower the resistance.

Q:

The combined gas law relates which of the following?

A) Volume & Temperature B) Temperature & Pressure
C) Volume & Pressure D) Volume, Temperature & Pressure
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Volume, Temperature & Pressure

Explanation:

The combined gas law states that the ratio between the pressure-volume product and the temperature of a system remains constant.

 

Hence it depends on all the three Volume, Temperature & Pressure.
