Q:

The fact that two large ships travelling on close parallel courses in the same direction tend to move towards each other can be explained by

A) Bernoulli's principle B) Magnetic properties of the ship's material
C) Newton's third law of motion D) Earth's gravitational force
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Bernoulli's principle

Explanation:

The rapid flow of air between the two moving ships causes a reducton of pressure (Bernoulli's principle) , so they (the ships) are drawn closer together

Q:

A parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C1is  made  using  two  gold  plates.  Another parallel-plate capacitor of capacitance C2is made  using  two  aluminium  plates  with same  plate  separation,  and  all  the  four plates  are  of  same  area.  If gand aPare respectively  the  electrical  resistivities  of gold and aluminium, then which one of the following relations is correct?

A) C1>C2 B) C2>C1
C) C1pa = C2pg D) C1 = C2
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) C1 = C2

Explanation:

C1= capacitance of gold plates

C2=   capacitance   of   aluminium plates

rg= Gold’s resistivity

ra= Aluminium’s resistivity

As the capacitance depends on the shape,  size  &  geometrical  placing of  the  conductors  &  the  medium between them, hence, the value of capacitance  will  be  independent  of resistivity. Therefore, C1= C2
