According to Joule's law of heating, the heat produced in a resistor is directly proportional to the square of: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

According to Joule's law of heating, the heat produced in a resistor is directly proportional to the square of:
A. Voltage
B. Resistance
C. Electric Current
D. Time
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Joule's Law of Heating states that the heat (H) produced in a resistor is given by H = I²Rt. This indicates that the heat produced is directly proportional to the square of the electric current (I), directly proportional to the resistance (R), and directly proportional to the time (t) the current flows.

Question #1 Report Error
Half-life 5 days. Fraction remaining after 15 days:
A. 1/2
B. 1/16
C. 1/8
D. 1/3

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Number of half-lives n = 15/5 = 3. Fraction = (1/2)³ = 1/8. Exponential decay: N = N₀(1/2)^(t/T). Memory aid: 'After n half-lives: fraction = 1/2ⁿ'. Radioactivity calculation frequently tested in competitive exams with simple half-life arithmetic.

Question #3 Report Error
A ship floats because its density is
A. Greater than water
B. Less than water on average
C. Zero
D. Equal to water

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Ship is made of steel (density > water) but hollow shape makes average density (including air) less than water. Displaced water weight equals ship's weight, buoyancy holds it up.
