Physics

Boltzmann constant K in terms of universal gas constant R and Avogadro's number Na is given as ________?

A
K = RNa
B
K = R/Na
C
K = Na/Ra
D
K = nRNa
Explanation and memory cue

The Boltzmann constant (K) is related to the universal gas constant (R) and Avogadro's number (Na) by the formula K = R / Na. This expresses the gas constant per individual molecule rather than per mole.

Which of the following statements is true when we see a ‘rainbow’?

A
We face sun and raindrops
B
The Sun remains behind us and we face raindrops
C
In light rainfall, we face Sun
D
The sky remains clear and the sun is at lower position in the sky
Explanation and memory cue

A rainbow is formed when sunlight is refracted, reflected, and dispersed by raindrops. To see a rainbow, the observer must have the Sun behind them and be facing the raindrops where the light is refracted. Therefore, the Sun remains behind us and we face the raindrops.

Elasticity

easy
Physics

Young’s modulus is the property of _________?

A
Gas only
B
Liquid only
C
Solid only
D
All of the above
Explanation and memory cue

Young's modulus measures the stiffness of a material and is defined only for solids, as it relates to elastic deformation under tensile or compressive stress. Gases and liquids do not have a defined Young's modulus because they cannot sustain shear stress in the same way solids do.

Energy In Matter

easy
Physics

Matter itself has energy called __________?

A
Potential energy
B
Rest energy
C
Chemical energy
D
Nuclear energy
Explanation and memory cue

Matter inherently possesses energy due to its mass, known as rest energy, which is described by Einstein's equation E=mc². This energy exists even when the matter is at rest, distinguishing it from other forms like potential or chemical energy.

Electric Charge

easy
Physics

A million electrons are added to a pith ball. Its charge is ________?

A
– 1.6 × 10⁻¹² coulomb
B
– 1.6 × 10⁻¹³ coulomb
C
– 1.6 × 10⁻¹⁸ coulomb
D
– 1.6 × 10 coulomb
Explanation and memory cue

Each electron carries a charge of approximately -1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹ coulombs. For one million (10⁶) electrons, the total charge is 10⁶ × (-1.6 × 10⁻¹⁹) = -1.6 × 10⁻¹³ coulombs. Therefore, the correct answer is option B: -1.6 × 10⁻¹³ coulombs.

Semiconductor Devices

easy
Physics

The operation of a transistor requires __________?

A
That the emitter be heated
B
That the base be heated
C
That the collector be heated
D
None of the above
Explanation and memory cue

Transistors operate based on electrical current and voltage applied to their terminals, not by heating any part. Therefore, none of the options involving heating the emitter, base, or collector are correct.

Physics

The specially designed semiconductor diodes used as indicator lamps in electronic circuits are _________?

A
The switch
B
The light emitting diode
C
The photo diodes
D
Solar cells
Explanation and memory cue

Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs) are semiconductor diodes specifically designed to emit light when current passes through them, making them ideal as indicator lamps in electronic circuits.

Physics

Which one is true for internal energy?

A
It is sum of all forms of energies associated with molecules of a system
B
It is a state function of a system
C
It is proportional to translational kinetic energy of the molecules
D
All are correct
Explanation and memory cue

Internal energy is a state function representing the total energy contained within a system, including kinetic and potential energies at the molecular level. However, it is not simply the sum of all forms of energy associated with molecules, nor is it proportional only to translational kinetic energy. Therefore, option B is correct.

Physics

Semiconductors with donor atoms and free electrons belong to which type?

A
n-type
B
p-type
C
mixed-type
D
any of the above
Explanation and memory cue

Semiconductors doped with donor atoms have extra free electrons, making them n-type semiconductors. P-type semiconductors have acceptor atoms creating holes, and 'mix' or 'any of above' are not standard classifications.

Operational Amplifiers

easy
Physics

Non-inverting amplifier circuits have _________?

A
A very high input impedance
B
A very low input impedance
C
A low output impedance
D
None of the above
Explanation and memory cue

A non-inverting amplifier configuration typically has a very high input impedance because the input signal is applied to the non-inverting input of the op-amp, which draws negligible current. This characteristic is fundamental to its operation.
