Q:

A wire of copper having length I and area of cross-section A is taken and a current / is flown through it. The power dissipated in the wire is P. If we take an aluminium wire having same dimensions and pass the same current through it, the power dissipated will be

A) P B) < P
C) > P D) 2P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) > P

Explanation:

Aluminum has a resistivity varying from 2.65 to 2.82 × 10−8 Ω m.The resistivity of copper is generally given as: 1.72 x 10-8 Ω.m.So, since resistivity of aluminium is higher than that of copper, so Power dissipated will be greater than P. this is because rest of the factors (l, A and i) are constant.

Q:

Which must be true for metamorphism to occur?

A) The grain size must become smaller B) The process must take place underwater
C) The parent rock must be in solid form D) The parent rock must be igneous
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) The parent rock must be in solid form

Explanation:

Metamorphism is the method of changing the structure of a rock by using heat and temperature.

Hence, for this to happen the parent rock must be in solid form only. Therefore, option C) is true.

Q:

The force that generates wind is

A) Gravity force B) Pressure gradient force
C) Coriolis force D) Centrifugal force
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Pressure gradient force

Explanation:

Wind is the flow of gases on a large scale. On the surface of the Earth, wind consists of the bulk movement of air. The force that generates wind is called as Pressure gradient force.

Q:

Rear view mirror of car is convex or concave?

A) Convex B) Concave
C) Both A & B D) Can't be determined
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Convex

Explanation:

The side view mirror, in all the vehicles we use only convex mirror. This mirror makes the objects and small to show them in the mirror. That's why in all such mirrors, "Ojects in the mirror are closer than they appear."
