Physics Questions

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:

Long Sightedness means

A) near images are blurry B) far images are blurry
C) Both A & B D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) near images are blurry

Explanation:

Long sightedness is a common vision condition in which nearby objects are blurry.

 

In this situation, the person with this condition of the eye where the curvature of the cornea is flat or the axial length of the eyeball is short. When light enters the eye, it does not focus directly on the retina, but focuses beyond the retina. This causes near images to appear out of focus and blurred.
