The following are some units
I. Ns
II. Non
III. Nm\(^{-2}\)
IV. J°K\(^{-1}\)
V. JKg\(^{-1}\)
What are the units of latent heat?

A.

I

B.

II

C.

III

D.

V

Correct answer is D

Latent heat or specific latent heat = L

Heat energy = mL or L = H
m
= energy
mass

A boy pushes a 500kg box along a floor with a force of 2000N. If the velocity of the box is uniform, the co-efficient of friction between the box and the floor is

A.

1

B.

0.8

C.

0.65

D.

0.4

Correct answer is D

m = 500kg, W = mg = 500 × 10 = 5000N
F = 2000N

μ   = Force at constant velocity
weight
= 2000
5000
= 0.4

The lower fixed part of a faulty thermometer reads 2°C while the upper fixed point is 100°C.
What is the true temperature when the thermometer reads 51°C?

A.

52°C

B.

50°C

C.

49°C

D.

46°C

Correct answer is B

C\(_{\theta}\) = 50, C\(_0\) = 2, C\(_{100}\) = 100

θ = C\(_{\theta}\) - C\(_0\)
C\(_{100}\) - C\(_0\)
× 100 = 51 - 2
100 - 2
× 100

 

= 49
98
× 100


θ = 50°C.

The resultant capacitance in the figure above is

A.

0.4μf

B.

0.8μf

C.

1.8μf

D.

4.5μf

Correct answer is B

For the parallel arrangement = 2 + 4 = 6μf

For the series arrangement = 1
C\(_T\)
= 1

C\(_T\)
= 15

The point at which the molecules of a loaded wire begin to slide across each other resulting in a rapid increase in extension is

A.

yield point

B.

proportionality point

C.

deformation point

D.

elastic point

Correct answer is A

-yield point is where a small increase in load produces a large extention.
