111.

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.

112.

The reason for laminating the soft iron core of a  transformer is to?

A.

reduce eddy current.

B.

reduce magnetic flux.

C.

increase the magnetic flux.

D.

reduce its efficiency.

Correct answer is A

Laminated iron core means insulating layers glued compact. Now the cores are laminated to reduce Eddy current.

113.

The process of energy production in the sun is?

A.

nuclear fission

B.

nuclear fusion

C.

electron collision

D.

radioactive decay

Correct answer is B

The process of energy production in the sun is generally by nuclear fusion of hydrogen nuclei, the reaction of which takes place at a tremendous high temperature.

114.

A 2H inductor has negligible resistance and is connected to a 50π Hz A.C supply. The reactance of the inductor is?

A.

200Ω

B.

50Ω

C.

100π

D.

25πΩ

Correct answer is A

Given;

L = 2H
F = 50π H2
XL = ?

XL = 2πfL = 2π x 50λ x 2

= 200Ω

115.

An astronomical telescope is said to be in normal adjustment when the?

A.

eye is accommodated

B.

focal length of an object lens is longer than that of eye piece

C.

final image is at the near point of eye

D.

final image is at infinity

Correct answer is D

A normal arrangement is an arrangement where the principal focus of objective coincides with the eyepiece so that the final image is at infinity
