Work per unit charge to move between points is:
A. Capacitance
B. Electric field
C. Potential energy
D. Electric potential

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Potential difference V = W/q: work per unit charge. Electric field E = F/q: force per unit charge. Memory tip: 'Potential = work/charge (scalar); Field = force/charge (vector)'. Electrostatics definition frequently tested in competitive exams.

The number of protons in an atom determines its
A. Mass number
B. Neutron number
C. Isotope
D. Atomic number

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Atomic number Z = number of protons. Defines chemical element. Mass number = protons + neutrons. Isotopes same Z, different neutrons. Isobars same A, different Z.

A positively charged particle is projected precisely parallel to a uniform magnetic field. The trajectory of the particle will be a:
A. Straight line
B. Circle
C. Parabola
D. Helix

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
The magnetic Lorentz force on a moving charge is F = q(v x B) = qvBsin(theta). If the particle moves completely parallel to the magnetic field, the angle theta is 0 degrees. Since sin(0) = 0, the magnetic force is absolutely zero. Experiencing no transverse force, the particle continues moving in a perfect straight line.
