A magnetic field line indicates MCQ with Answer and Explanation

A magnetic field line indicates
A. Direction of current
B. Path of charged particle
C. Direction of electric field
D. Direction of force on a north pole
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Magnetic field lines represent direction of force on an isolated north pole. They emerge from north and enter south. They never cross. Tangent gives field direction. Compass aligns along these lines.

Question #1 Report Error
A wire of resistance 10 Ω is stretched to double its length. Its new resistance is
A. 20 Ω
B. 40 Ω
C. 10 Ω
D. 5 Ω

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Resistance R = ρL/A. Volume constant: A ∝ 1/L. Stretching length to 2L reduces area to A/2. New R' = ρ(2L)/(A/2) = 4ρL/A = 4R = 40 Ω. Resistance proportional to (length)² when volume constant.

Linear expansion coefficient α = 2×10⁻⁵/°C. Length increase for 1 m rod heated 50°C:
A. 0.1 mm
B. 1 mm
C. 10 mm
D. 0.01 mm

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
ΔL = L₀αΔT = 1×2×10⁻⁵×50 = 100×10⁻⁵ = 10⁻³ m = 1 mm. Direct expansion formula application. Memory tip: 'ΔL = LαΔT; convert result to required units'. Tests thermal expansion calculation with unit conversion, frequently appearing in competitive exams.
