(2)
(3)
(4) 
Correct option: 4) In physics, the mean free path is the average distance over which a moving particle's direction or energy changes significantly, usually as a result of one or more successive...
A cylinder contains hydrogen gas at pressure of
and temperature
. Its density is :
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4) 
Correct option: 4) Using the ideal gas equation, we evaluate the value of density by making modification, $$ \begin{aligned} &\therefore PV = nRT \\ &\Rightarrow PV =\frac{ m }{ M } RT \quad...
In a certain region of space with volume 0.2 cubic meters, the electric potential is found to be 5 V throughout. The magnitude of electric field in this region is : (1) 1 N/C (2) 5 N/C (3) Zero (4) 0.5 N/C
Correct option: 3) Given $v=$ const. (5 volt) $As E =-\frac{ dv }{ dr }$ So differentiation of a constant is zero, thus, $E =0$
Two bodies of mass 4 kg and 6 kg are tied to the ends of a massless string. The string passes over a pulley which is frictionless (see figure). The acceleration of the system in terms of acceleration due to gravity (g) is : (1) g/5 (2) g/10 (3) g (4) g/2
Correct option: 1) According to the figure, the force equation on both the blocks are, 6g – T = 6a T – 4g = 4a Solving both we get the value of a = g/5 $m/s^2$
A screw gauge has least count of 0.01 mm and there are 50 divisions in its circular scale. The pitch of the screw gauge is : (1) 0.5 mm (2) 1.0 mm (3) 0.01 mm (4) 0.25 mm
Correct option: 1) As we know that, Least Count $=\frac{\text { Pitch }}{\text { no. of division on circular scale }}$ Thus evaluating according to given information, $=0.01=\frac{\text { pitch...
Dimensions of stress are : (1)
(2)
(3) [ MLT-2] (4) ![Rendered by QuickLaTeX.com \left[ ML ^{2 T -2}\right]](https://www.learnatnoon.com/s/wp-content/ql-cache/quicklatex.com-41ff3b4626d6d04172ef3d45389c847a_l3.png)
Correct option 2) Solving using the dimension formula according to the formula of stress: Stress $=\frac{F}{A}=\frac{M^{1} L^{1} T^{-2}}{L^{2}}=M L^{-1} T^{-2}$

Answer: option 4 As we know the formula for electric field, so evaluating according to given info, $E=\frac{k Q}{r^{2}}=\frac{9 \times 10^{9} \times 3.2 \times 10^{-7}}{15 \times 15 \times 10^{-4}}$...
For transistor action, which of the following statements is correct ? (1) Both emitter junction as well as the collector junction are forward biased. (2) The base region must be very thin and lightly doped. (3) Base, emitter and collector regions should have same doping concentrations. (4) Base, emitter and collector regions should have same size.
Correct option: 2) The base junction must be lightly doped for transistor action, resulting in a very thin base region.
