Q1. Electric Potential is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Electric potential V is the work done in bringing unit positive charge from infinity to the point in an electric field, and the potential energy  is the work done in bringing any finite charge from infinity to the point in an electric field. They are related as,

Q2. Gauge pressure at a point is
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Gauge pressure is zero-referenced against ambient air pressure, so it is equal to absolute pressure minus atmospheric pressure. Negative signs are usually omitted

The difference between absolute pressure and atmospheric pressure is what we call gauge pressure (). It can be calculated if we know the absolute and atmospheric pressures using this formula: 


Q3. The average distance a molecule can travel without colliding is called the
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

the mean free path is the average distance traveled by a moving particle (such as an atom, a molecule, a photon) between successive impacts (collisions), which modify its direction or energy or other particle properties

Q4. For a rectangular slab, refraction takes place at
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q5. The nuclei of isotopes of a given element contain the same number of
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Isotopes are variants of a particular chemical element which differ in neutron number. All isotopes of a given element have the same number of protons in each atom.


Q6. The magnitude of the magnetic field due to a circular coil of radius R carrying a current I at an axial distance x from the centre is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

magnetic field at a point located at a distance x from the center of the coil of radius R carrying current along its axis is 
Q7.

Relation between Kelvin (T) and Celsius scales () is


Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

TZTLTUTL=TC01000=TK273.15373.15273.15
Q8. Newton is the SI unit of
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The newton is the SI unit for force; it is equal to the amount of net force required to accelerate a mass of one kilogram at a rate of one meter per second squared

Q9. Two resistances are connected in the two gaps of a meter bridge. The balance points is 20 cm from the zero end. When a resistance of 15 ohm is connected in series with the smaller of the two resistances, the null point shifts to 40 cm. The smaller of the two resistances has the value (in ohm)
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Let the resistances be P and Q. When balanced, 


Q10. Simple harmonic motion is motion represented by
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Equation of simple harmonic motion is given by


Where x(t) is the displacement of body at any instant of time

A is the amplitude of the body

 is the phase angle at the instant of time.
