Who formulated the Planetary Model of the atom, proposing that electrons orbit the nucleus in specific, quantized circular orbits?
A. Niels Bohr
B. Ernest Rutherford
C. J. J. Thomson
D. Albert Einstein

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Niels Bohr proposed the Bohr model of the atom in 1913. He improved upon Rutherford's model by introducing quantum theory, suggesting that electrons travel in discrete, quantized orbits around the nucleus without radiating energy, and that energy is only emitted or absorbed when an electron jumps between these specific orbits.

In a series circuit, which quantity remains the same across all components?
A. Voltage
B. Power
C. Resistance
D. Current

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
In series circuits, current is the same through all components because there's only one path for charge flow. Voltage divides across components proportional to resistance (V = IR). Resistance and power vary per component. Memory aid: 'Series: same current; Parallel: same voltage'. This fundamental circuit property is frequently tested in competitive exams to assess basic electronics understanding. Always apply Kirchhoff's current law: current entering a junction equals current leaving; in series, no junctions, so current constant.
