Q1. The tetrahedral molecule below where there are two lone pairs of electrons is

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

An important feature of water is its polar nature. The structure has a bent molecular geometry for the two hydrogens from the oxygen vertex. The oxygen atom also has two lone pairs of electrons.

Q2. A wheel with 10 metallic spokes each 0.5 m long is rotated with a speed of 60 rev/min in a plane normal to the horizontal component of earth’s magnetic field HE at a place. If HE = 0.4 G at the place, what is the induced emf between the axle and the rim of the wheel? Note that 1 G = 10–4 T.
Answer : Option D
