The following question based on electric current and magnetism topic of general science mcq

Questions : In an A.C. circuit with voltage V and current I the power dissipated is

(a) $1/2$VI

(b) V I

(c) $1/√2$VI

(d) dependent on the phase between V and I

The correct answers to the above question in:

Answer: (d)

Power dissipated = $E_{rms}. I_{rms} = (E_{rms}) (I_{rms})$cosϴ

Hence, power dissipated depends upon phase difference.

Question : 1

An AC generator of 220 V having internal resistance r = 10Ω and external resistance R = 100Ω. What is the power developed in the external circuit?

a) 400 W

b) 441 W

c) 484 W

d) 369 W

Answer: (a)

V = 200V; r = 10Ω

R' = 10 + 100Ω = 110Ω

I = $V/R' = 220/100 = 2A$

P=$I^2R$ = 4 × 100 = 400 W

Question : 2

Consider the following statements :

  1. Magnetic field produced by current in a straight wire has no poles.
  2. The magnetic lines of force produced by a straight current carrying conductor are straight in nature.
  3. To produce a strong magnetic field at its centre, we prefer a current carrying wire loop of larger radius.
Which of these statements is/are correct?

a) 1 only

b) 1 and 3

c) 2 only

d) 1, 2 and 3

Answer: (a)

Magnetic field lines form in concentric circles around a cylindrical current-carrying conductor, such as a length of wire.

The strength of the magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil carrying current is inversely proportional to the radius of the circular coil.

i.e. the field strength reduces as the radius of the coil increases.

Question : 3

Out of the following, diamagnetic substance is

a) lead

b) iron

c) copper

d) silver

Answer: (c)

Copper has negative susceptibility

(i.e. χ = –0.96). Hence, it is diamagnetic.

Question : 4

The universal properties of all substances is

a) paramagnetism

b) diamagnetism

c) ferromagnetism

d) All of these

Answer: (b)

Question : 5

Which is the gas inside an electric bulb?

a) Carbon dioxide

b) Argon

c) Nitrogen

d) Both (A) and (B)

Answer: (d)

Question : 6

The charge given to any conductor resides on its outer surface, because

a) the free charge tends to be in its minimum kinetic energy state

b) the free charge tends to be in its maximum potential energy state.

c) the free charge tends to be in its minimum potential energy state

d) the free charge tends to be in its maximum kinetic energy state

Answer: (c)
