1. An infinite combination of resistors, each having resistance R = 4Ω, is given below. What is the net resistance between the points A and B? (Each resistance is of equal value, R=4)

Correct Answer: (b) 2 + 2√5 Ω
Solution:

2. An electric circuit is given below. V₁ = 1V and Resistance R = 1000 Ω.

The current through the resistance R is very close to 1 mA and the voltage across point A and B, Vᴀʙ = 1 V. Now the circuit is changed to:where value of V₂ = 5V The internal resitances of both the batteries are 0.1 Ω. The current through the resistance R is about:

Correct Answer: (d) 5.0 mA
Solution:

3. If the current through an electrical machine running on direct current is 15 A and the machine runs for 10 minutes, the charge that passes through the machine during this time is:

Correct Answer: (d) 9000 C
Solution:

4. Which one of the following is the best shape of a solid metal rod to form the top end of a lightning conductor?

Correct Answer: (a)
Solution:

The lightening conductor is made of metal rod with a sharp pointed edge on its top in order to provide low resistance for conducting path. The electric discharge from the lightening smoothly fed into earth.

Correct Answer: (d) 1, 2 and 3
Solution:There are four fundamental forces in nature:

(i) Gravitational forces
(ii) Electromagnetic forces
(iii) Strong nuclear forces
(iv) Weak nuclear forces

6. A spherical shell of outer radius R and inner radius R/2 contains a solid sphere of radius R/2 (see figure). The density of the material of the solid sphere is p and that of the shell is p/2. What is the average mass density of the larger sphere thus formed?

Correct Answer: (b) 9p/16
Solution:

7. The human eye is like a camera that has a lens with:

Correct Answer: (d) variable focal length and variable aperture size.
Solution:The pupil of human eye acts as aperture and its size changes with the intensity of light. Also, the eye can focus the image of both far-off and near objects by changing the foal length of eye lens. So, human eye has a lens with variable focal length and variable aperture size.

8. Under Article 371A of the Constitution of India, with respect to which of the following item(s) the Acts of the Parliament of India shall not apply to the State of Nagaland, unless the Legislative Assembly of the State of Nagaland by a resolution so decides ?

Select the answer using the code given below:

Correct Answer: (c) 1, 2 and 3 only
Solution:

Article 371A states that no act of Parliament shall apply to Nagaland in respect of the religious or social practices of the Nagas, the Naga customary law and procedure, the administration of civil and criminal justice involving decisions according to the Naga customary law, and the ownership and transfer of land and its resources, unless the Nagaland Legislative Assembly decides otherwise by a resolution.
