Which law in physics relates voltage current and resistance in an electrical circuit?

  • AOhm's law
  • BNewton's law
  • CBoyle's law
  • DFaraday's law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A β€” Ohm's law
Explanation: Ohm's law states that the current flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the voltage applied and inversely proportional to its resistance forming a foundational principle in electrical circuits.

Which scientific law explains that every object attracts every other object with a force proportional to their masses?

  • ANewton's law of universal gravitation
  • BCoulomb's law
  • CBoyle's law
  • DOhm's law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A β€” Newton's law of universal gravitation
Explanation: Newton's law of universal gravitation explains that every object in the universe attracts every other object with a force proportional to their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

Which force is primarily responsible for keeping planets in orbit around the sun?

  • AMagnetic force
  • BGravitational force
  • CElectrostatic force
  • DNuclear force
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B β€” Gravitational force
Explanation: Gravitational force between the sun and planets keeps them in stable orbits by continuously pulling them toward the sun while their forward momentum prevents them from falling in.

Which natural satellite is the only one orbiting Earth and significantly influences ocean tides?

  • AMars
  • BThe Moon
  • CPhobos
  • DTitan
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B β€” The Moon
Explanation: The Moon is Earth's only natural satellite and its gravitational pull significantly influences ocean tides creating the regular rise and fall of sea levels observed worldwide.

Which planet is the closest to the sun in our solar system?

  • AVenus
  • BMercury
  • CEarth
  • DMars
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B β€” Mercury
Explanation: Mercury is the closest planet to the sun in our solar system and experiences extreme temperature variations due to its proximity and lack of a substantial atmosphere.
