Question : 1

The part of a transistor which is most heavily doped to produce large number of majority carriers is

a) base

b) collector

c) emmiter

d) can be any of the above three

Answer: (c)

Question : 2

The heating element of an electric heater should be made with a material, which should have

a) high specific resistance and low melting point

b) low specific resistance and low melting point

c) high specific resistance and high melting point

d) low specific resistance and high melting point

Answer: (c)

A heating wire should be such that it produces more heat when current is passed through it and also does not melt.

It will be so if it has high specific resistance and high melting point.

Question : 3

Consider the following statements :

  1. An ammeter should have low resistance
  2. An ammeter should have high resistance
  3. A voltmeter should have low resistance
  4. A voltmeter should have high resistance
Which of the statements are correct ?

a) 2 and 3

b) 1 and 4

c) 1 and 3

d) 2 and 4

Answer: (b)

Ammeter is connected in series within the circuit. Therefore, the net resistance of the circuit increases and current to be measured decreases, so ammeter should have low resistance.

On the other hand voltmeter is connected in parallel within the circuit. This changes the overall current in the circuit and hence, the potential difference to be measured is also changed to minimise the error, so the equivalent resistance of the voltmeter should be large.

Question : 4

The filament of an electric bulb is of tungsten because

a) it is cheaper

b) its melting point is high

c) its resistance is negligible

d) filament is easily made

Answer: (b)

Question : 5

Two magnets A and B are placed with like poles having one above another. What will happen?

physics magnetism mcq question answer 21

a) A will move side ways

b) A will stuck to B

c) A will remain as in figure

d) Can't say

Answer: (c)

Unlike poles repel. The repulsive magnetic force will not allow the like poles to get stuck.

Question : 6

For a transistor amplifier, the voltage gain

a) is high at high and low frequencies and constant in the middle frequency range.

b) is low at high and low frequencies and constant at mid frequencies.

c) remains constant for all frequencies.

d) none of the above
