Which law relates the force between two electric charges to the distance between them?

  • A Ohm's Law
  • B Coulomb's Law
  • C Faraday's Law
  • D Ampere's Law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option B — Coulomb's Law
Explanation: Coulomb's Law states that the electrostatic force between two charged objects is directly proportional to the product of their charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them.

An object will sink in a fluid if its density is:

  • A Greater than the fluid's density
  • B Less than the fluid's density
  • C Zero
  • D Equal to the fluid's density
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Greater than the fluid's density
Explanation: An object sinks in a fluid when its average density exceeds that of the fluid, because the buoyant force generated by the displaced fluid is insufficient to support the object's greater weight.

An adiabatic process is one in which:

  • A Pressure remains constant
  • B Volume remains constant
  • C Temperature remains constant
  • D No heat is exchanged with surroundings
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — No heat is exchanged with surroundings
Explanation: An adiabatic process is defined as a thermodynamic process during which no heat is transferred into or out of the system, so any change in internal energy results entirely from work done.

Which effect causes the apparent change in frequency of light from a moving star?

  • A Photoelectric effect
  • B Compton effect
  • C Zeeman effect
  • D Doppler effect
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Doppler effect
Explanation: The Doppler effect causes light from a star moving away from us to shift to longer wavelengths called red shift while light from an approaching star shifts to shorter wavelengths called blue shift.

A p-type semiconductor has an excess of:

  • A Electrons
  • B Protons
  • C Neutrons
  • D Holes
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option D — Holes
Explanation: A p-type semiconductor is created by doping a pure semiconductor with acceptor impurities that create an excess of positively charged holes, which act as the majority charge carriers in the material.

The distance between two consecutive crests of a wave is called:

  • A Wavelength
  • B Amplitude
  • C Frequency
  • D Period
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Wavelength
Explanation: Wavelength is defined as the distance between two successive points that are in phase, such as two consecutive crests or troughs, and it is typically measured in metres for a wave.

Which scientist developed the theory of general relativity?

  • A Isaac Newton
  • B Niels Bohr
  • C Albert Einstein
  • D Max Planck
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option C — Albert Einstein
Explanation: Albert Einstein developed the theory of general relativity in 1915, describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime caused by mass and energy. This revolutionary theory reshaped scientific understanding of gravity, space, and time itself.

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?

  • A Mass
  • B Displacement
  • C Velocity
  • D Force
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Mass
Explanation: Mass is a scalar quantity because it has only magnitude and no direction. Unlike vector quantities such as velocity, force, and displacement, which require both magnitude and direction to be fully described, mass is fully specified by a single number.

What is the formula for kinetic energy?

  • A mv
  • B mgh
  • C half mv squared
  • D Fxd

Which principle explains how airplanes generate lift?

  • A Bernoulli's Principle
  • B Pascal's Principle
  • C Archimedes' Principle
  • D Newton's First Law
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Bernoulli's Principle
Explanation: Bernoulli's Principle explains that faster-moving air over the curved upper surface of a wing creates lower pressure compared to the slower air beneath it, generating lift. This pressure difference, combined with airflow deflection, allows airplanes to fly.

Which formula correctly represents the relationship between frequency wavelength and speed of a wave?

  • A v equals f divided by wavelength
  • B v equals wavelength divided by f
  • C v equals f times wavelength
  • D f equals v times wavelength

A scalar quantity has:

  • A Only magnitude
  • B Both magnitude and direction
  • C Neither magnitude nor direction
  • D Only direction
Permalink
Correct Answer: Option A — Only magnitude
Explanation: Scalar quantities such as mass, time, speed, and temperature are fully described by their magnitude alone and do not require a direction, unlike vector quantities like force or velocity.
