If you want to learn more about the nature and properties of matter and energy or you're simply preparing for a Physics exam, these Physics past questions and answers are ideal for you.

146.

A bar magnet is placed near and lying along the axis of a solenoid connected to a galvanometer. The pointer of the galvanometer shows no deflection when?

A.

the magnet is moved towards the stationary solenoid

B.

there is no relative motion

C.

the magnet is moved away from the stationary solenoid

D.

the solenoid is moved away from the stationary magnet

Correct answer is B

If both the coil and the magnet are stationary, then there is no change in the magnetic flux and hence no current is induced in the coil.

147.

An object 40 cm high is 30cm from the pin hole camera. If the height of the image formed is 20 cm. What is the distance of the image from the pin height?

A.

15 cm

B.

70 cm

C.

40 cm

D.

40 cm

Correct answer is A

M → HiHoDiDo

where M is the magnification, Hi is the height of the image, Ho is the height of the object, Di is the distance from the lens to the in-focus projected image, and Do is the distance from the object to the lens.

But Di = HiDoHo → 203040

Image distance(Di) = 15cm

148.

Consider the wave equation y = 5mm sin [1cm1x - 60s1t]. The wave number is?

A.

0.1 cm1

B.

10cm1

C.

1.0cm1

D.

2cm1

Correct answer is C

The angular wave number k = \frac{2π}{λ} expresses the number of radians in a unit of distance.

149.

A bar magnet is divided into two pieces, which of the following statement is correct?

A.

two new magnets are created

B.

the magnetic field of each separate piece becomes stronger

C.

the electric field is created

D.

the bar magnet is demagnetized

Correct answer is A

When it is cut into two, the two cut pieces will have their own north and south poles.

150.

Which of these is a derived unit?

A.

Kilogram

B.

Metre

C.

Newton

D.

Second

Correct answer is C
