A fuse wire has
A. Low melting point, high resistance
B. High melting point, low resistance
C. Low melting point, low resistance
D. High melting point, high resistance
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Fuse wire must melt easily (low MP) and develop enough heat (high R) to break circuit on overload.

The principle of conservation of linear momentum is a consequence of:
A. Newton's first law
B. Newton's third law
C. Law of conservation of energy
D. Newton's second law

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Conservation of linear momentum follows from Newton's third law (action-reaction pairs) and second law. For an isolated system, internal forces cancel in pairs (third law), so net force = 0, thus dp/dt = 0 (second law), meaning momentum constant. While derivable from second law with third law, the direct foundational link is third law. Memory aid: 'Momentum conservation ⇔ no external force ⇔ internal forces cancel (third law)'. This conceptual question tests mechanics fundamentals, crucial for competitive exams. Always distinguish conservation laws: momentum (from spatial symmetry), energy (from time symmetry).

An ammeter is always connected in
A. Series with circuit
B. Across supply
C. Either series or parallel
D. Parallel with circuit

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Ammeter measures current, must be in series so full current flows through it. Low internal resistance to minimize voltage drop. Voltmeter measures potential difference, connected in parallel, high resistance.
