Q:

Two metallic wires made from copper have same length but the radius of wire 1 is half of that of wire 2. The resistance of wire 1 is R. If both the wires are joined together in series, the total resistance becomes

 

A) 2R B) R/2
C) 5R/4 D) 3R/4
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5R/4

Explanation:

So, resistance of Wire 2 is R/4 as radius is half of wire 1, so area would be 4 times of wire 1.

Now for resistance in series. R= R1 + R2.

Therefore, Final R= R + R/4 = 5R/4

Q:

The Hooke's law is valid for

A) only proportional region of the stress strain curve B) entire stress strain curve
C) entire elastic region of the stress strain curve D) elastic as well as plastic region of the stress strain curve
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) only proportional region of the stress strain curve

Explanation:

Hooke's law states that within the elastic limit, stress developed is directly proportional to the strain produced in a body.Hooke’s law is valid only in the linear part of stress-strain curve. Hence, statement 1 is correct.

Q:

As water is cooled from 4 deg C to 0 deg C, its density

A) increases B) decreases
C) remains same D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) decreases

Explanation:

As water is cooled from 4 deg C to 0 deg C, the water reaches its freezing point and starts forming ice crystals. Then the volume of that ice cubes increases and its density decreases. Hence, it is the reason that ice will float on water as ice has less density than the water.

Q:

Which part of the flame is the hottest?

A) Blue Zone B) Luminous Zone
C) Dark Zone D) Non - Luminous Zone
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Blue Zone

Explanation:

Blue Zone is the hottest part of the flame that is where the flame has the most Oxygen and you are getting complete combustion. It is about 1400 degrees Centigrades. The Reddish part (Non - Luminous Zone) is the coolest part, about 800 deg C.

Q:

Consider the electromagnetic radiations having wavelengths 200 nm, 500 nm and 1000 nm. Which wavelength (s) of the following can make visual sensation to a human eye?

A) 200 nm and 500 nm B) 500 nm and 1000 nm
C) 500 nm only D) 200 nm and 1000 nm
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 500 nm only

Explanation:
Visual image of human eye is 390-700 nanometer. So, approximate value is 500 nanometer only.
