Question #1 Report Error
The dimensional formula of Planck's constant is identical to that of:
A. Linear momentum
B. Torque
C. Angular momentum
D. Force

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Planck's constant (h) has dimensions [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum (L = mvr) has dimensions [M][LT⁻¹][L] = [ML²T⁻¹], matching exactly. Linear momentum is [MLT⁻¹], force is [MLT⁻²], and torque is [ML²T⁻²]. This dimensional equivalence is fundamental in quantum mechanics, linking wave-particle duality. Memory tip: Both represent 'action' quantities with identical dimensional structure. This concept frequently appears in competitive exams testing dimensional analysis skills.

The First Law of Thermodynamics is essentially a specific application of which fundamental principle of physics?
A. Conservation of Momentum
B. Conservation of Energy
C. Conservation of Mass
D. Newton's Third Law

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The first law of thermodynamics states that the heat supplied to a system (dQ) is equal to the change in its internal energy (dU) plus the work done by the system (dW): dQ = dU + dW. This is the law of conservation of energy applied to thermodynamic systems, stating that energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transferred or changed in form.
