Question 81

ITBP Head Constable 2023• Physics

Which of the following statements is/are NOT correct?

I. The filed lines inside the solenoid are in the form of parallel straight lines.

II. The magnetic field is the same at all points inside the solenoid.

  1. AOption (a)

    Neither I nor II

  2. BOption (b)

    Only II 

  3. COption (c)

    Both I and II

  4. DOption (d)

    Only I

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Neither I nor II

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is Neither I nor II.

Key Points

  • The magnetic field inside a solenoid is indeed in the form of parallel straight lines, indicating a uniform magnetic field.
  • The statement that the magnetic field is the same at all points inside the solenoid is correct. This is because the field lines are uniformly distributed and parallel to each other.
  • Since both the statements I and II are correct, the statement asked in the question is about which of the statements are NOT correct. Therefore, the correct answer is that neither I nor II are incorrect statements.

 Additional Information

  • Solenoid
  • A solenoid is a coil of wire that generates a magnetic field when an electric current passes through it.
  • The magnetic field inside a solenoid is strong and uniform, making it useful in various applications such as electromagnets, inductors, and transformers.
  • Uniform Magnetic Field
  • A uniform magnetic field is one where the magnetic field lines are parallel and equally spaced, indicating that the field strength is the same at all points.
  • Inside a solenoid, the uniform magnetic field is a result of the tightly wound coils and consistent current flow.

Question 82

ITBP Head Constable 2023• Physics

Large distance such as the distance of a planet or a star from the earth can be measured with the help of ______ method. 

  1. AOption (a)

    base 

  2. BOption (b)

    light rays

  3. COption (c)

    metre scale

  4. DOption (d)

    parallax

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (d)D.

parallax

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is option 4.

Key Points

  • The parallax method is a technique used to measure the distance of celestial objects such as stars and planets from the Earth.
  • This method involves observing the apparent shift in the position of the object when viewed from two different points along Earth's orbit around the Sun.
  • The parallax angle (p) is the angle subtended by the radius of Earth's orbit at the distant star.
  • Using the parallax angle and the baseline (distance between the two observation points), the distance (d) to the star can be calculated using the formula:

d = 1/p (where p is measured in arcseconds and d is in parsecs).

  • The parallax method is highly accurate for measuring distances to nearby stars within a few hundred light-years from Earth.

 Additional Information

  • Option 1: Base
  • The term "base" is not specific enough to describe a method for measuring astronomical distances.
  • In the context of the parallax method, the "base" refers to the baseline or the distance between two observation points, but this alone is not sufficient to measure distance.
  • Option 2: Light Rays
  • Light rays are involved in the parallax method as they are the means by which we observe the position of stars.
  • However, stating "light rays" does not describe a specific method for measuring distance.
  • Option 3: Metre Scale
  • A metre scale is a tool for measuring short distances and is not suitable for measuring astronomical distances.
  • It is impractical to use a metre scale for distances on the scale of light-years or parsecs.

Question 83

ITBP Head Constable 2023• Physics

Which of the following statements is correct?

I. Momentum is a vector quantity.

II. Force is a scalar quantity.

  1. AOption (a)

    Only II 

  2. BOption (b)

    Only I 

  3. COption (c)

    Both I and II 

  4. DOption (d)

    Neither I nor II

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Only II 

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is Option 1

Key Points

  • Momentum is a vector quantity. This means that it has both magnitude and direction. It is calculated as the product of mass and velocity (p = m × v).
  • Force is also a vector quantity, not a scalar quantity. Force has both magnitude and direction, and it is defined as mass times acceleration (F = m × a).

 Additional Information

  • Scalar Quantities
  • Scalar quantities have only magnitude and no direction. Examples include mass, temperature, and time.
  • Vector Quantities
  • Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Examples include velocity, acceleration, and displacement.

Question 84

ITBP Head Constable 2023• Physics

What is the symbol of luminous intensity? 

  1. AOption (a)

    cm 

  2. BOption (b)

    cd 

  3. COption (c)

    LI 

  4. DOption (d)

    Lm

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

cd 

Why this answer is correct

The correct answer is cd.

Key Points

  • The symbol cd stands for candela, which is the SI unit of luminous intensity.
  • Luminous intensity refers to the amount of light power emitted by a source in a particular direction, per unit solid angle.
  • The definition of candela is based on the light emitted by a monochromatic source with a frequency of 540 × 1012 Hz and a radiant intensity of 1/683 watt per steradian.
  • The candela is one of the seven base units in the International System of Units (SI).
  • This unit is crucial in fields such as lighting design, photography, and various scientific research areas that involve light measurement.

 Additional Information

  • cm
  • cm stands for centimeter, which is a unit of length in the metric system. It is not related to luminous intensity.
  • LI
  • LI is not a standard unit or symbol for any physical quantity in the International System of Units (SI).
  • Lm
  • Lm stands for lumen, which is the SI unit of luminous flux. It represents the total quantity of light emitted by a source in all directions, not just in a specific direction as luminous intensity does.

Question 85

ITBP Head Constable 2023• Physics

SI unit of gravitational constant is ______. 

  1. AOption (a)

    N/m2kg2

  2. BOption (b)

    Nm2/kg2

  3. COption (c)

    Nm/kg2 

  4. DOption (d)

    N/m2kg

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (b)B.

Nm2/kg2

Why this answer is correct

The Correct answer is Nm2/kg2.

Key Points

  • The gravitational constant (G) is a key quantity in Newton's law of universal gravitation.

  • Newton's law of universal gravitation states that every point mass attracts every other point mass by a force acting along the line intersecting both points.

  • This force is directly proportional to the product of the masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

  • The formula for the gravitational force (F) is given by: F = G * (m1 × m2 / r2)
    Where:

  • F = gravitational force between two masses

  • G = gravitational constant

  • m1 and m2 = masses of the objects

  • r = distance between the centers of the two masses

  • The SI unit of the gravitational constant (G) is Nm2/kg2.

  • This unit can be derived from the force equation: G = F × r2 / (m1 × m2)
    Where:

  • F is in Newtons (N)

  • r is in meters (m)

  • m1 and m2 are in kilograms (kg)

Thus, the unit of G becomes Nm2/kg2.

 Additional Information

  • N/m2kg2
  • This unit incorrectly combines the units of force and area in a manner not suitable for the gravitational constant.
  • Nm/kg2
  • This unit is missing the square of the distance term (m2), thus it is incorrect.
  • N/m2kg
  • This unit is also incorrect as it does not properly represent the relationship between force, mass, and distance in Newton's law of gravitation.

F is to the immediate right of D, A is third to the right of F, G is third to the left of D

B is the immediate neighbour of G,  D is not the immediate neighbour of E and C is not the immediate neighbour of D or A

So, C is sitting third to right of H.

View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

Only conclusion I follows 

Why this answer is correct

The least possible Venn diagram is as follows:

Conclusions:

I. Some water are white → Follow(As, Some white are water, So some water are white is definite)

II. Some white are jug → Does not Follow(As, their is no direct relation so, it can be possible but definite)

III. Some water are jug → Does not Follow(As, No jug is water so, it cannot be possible)

∴ Here, Only conclusion I follows.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 3".
