Correct Answer: B. 15 cm
Explanation:
Use 1/f=1/do+1/di.
1/di=1/10-1/30=1/15, so di=15 cm.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Reciprocals of resistances add
Explanation:
Parallel resistors share the same voltage.
The total resistance is less than the smallest branch resistance.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. 40 cm
Explanation:
The object is at twice the focal length.
Using the lens equation gives di=40 cm.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Rate at which electrical energy is transferred
Explanation:
Electrical power can be written P=VI.
It may also be expressed as I²R or V²/R.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. 3
Explanation:
Magnification magnitude is image height divided by object height.
30/10 = 3.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. Electric charge and energy in an electric field
Explanation:
A capacitor consists of separated conductors.
Its capacitance measures charge stored per unit potential difference.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. -10 cm
Explanation:
Image height equals magnification times object height.
Hi=-2×5=-10 cm, indicating inversion.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. Charge stored per unit potential difference
Explanation:
Capacitance is C=Q/V.
Its SI unit is the farad.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Reciprocal of focal length in metres
Explanation:
Lens power is measured in dioptres.
Converging lenses have positive power and diverging lenses negative power.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. 24 cm
Explanation:
For a spherical mirror, R=2f.
R=2×12 = 24 cm.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. A region where magnetic forces act on magnets or moving charges
Explanation:
Magnetic fields are produced by magnets and moving charges.
Their direction is indicated by field lines.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. Ratio of image size to object size
Explanation:
Linear magnification compares image and object heights.
Its sign indicates image orientation under a chosen convention.
