Q:

A wire of copper having length I and area of cross-section A is taken and a current / is flown through it. The power dissipated in the wire is P. If we take an aluminium wire having same dimensions and pass the same current through it, the power dissipated will be

A) P B) < P
C) > P D) 2P
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) > P

Explanation:

Aluminum has a resistivity varying from 2.65 to 2.82 × 10−8 Ω m.The resistivity of copper is generally given as: 1.72 x 10-8 Ω.m.So, since resistivity of aluminium is higher than that of copper, so Power dissipated will be greater than P. this is because rest of the factors (l, A and i) are constant.

Q:

Work done in a free expansion process is

A) Minimun B) 0
C) Maximum D) None of the above
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 0

Explanation:

No work done as there is no external external pressure in free expansion. 

 

Hence, Work done in a free expansion process is Zero.

Q:

The law of conservation of energy states that

A) energy can neither be created nor destroyed B) energy can either be created nor destroyed
C) energy can neither be created or destroyed D) energy can either be created or destroyed
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) energy can neither be created nor destroyed

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy is a law of science which states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another.

In 1842, Julius Robert Mayer discovered the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Q:

The combined gas law relates which of the following?

A) Volume & Temperature B) Temperature & Pressure
C) Volume & Pressure D) Volume, Temperature & Pressure
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) Volume, Temperature & Pressure

Explanation:

The combined gas law states that the ratio between the pressure-volume product and the temperature of a system remains constant.

 

Hence it depends on all the three Volume, Temperature & Pressure.
