Conservative force work over closed path:
A. Path dependent
B. Positive
C. Negative
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Conservative forces (gravity, spring): work path-independent ⇒ ∮F·dr = 0 over closed loop. Enables potential energy definition. Memory aid: 'Conservative: ∮F·dr = 0; enables energy conservation'. Mechanics foundation frequently tested in competitive exams.

Which famous physicist correctly formulated the laws of electromagnetic induction mathematically, later synthesizing all known electromagnetic phenomena into four fundamental equations?
A. Michael Faraday
B. André-Marie Ampère
C. James Clerk Maxwell
D. Heinrich Hertz

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
While Faraday performed the groundbreaking experimental work discovering electromagnetic induction, it was James Clerk Maxwell who formalized these discoveries mathematically. Maxwell's equations (a set of four differential equations) elegantly united electricity, magnetism, and optics, proving theoretically that light itself is a propagating electromagnetic wave.
