Question #1 Report Error
The working principle of a Venturimeter, used to measure the flow rate of a liquid through a pipe, is primarily based on:
A. Torricelli's Theorem
B. Archimedes' Principle
C. Stokes' Law
D. Bernoulli's Principle

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A Venturimeter consists of a converging pipe, a narrow throat, and a diverging pipe. As fluid passes through the constricted throat, its velocity increases. According to Bernoulli's principle, this increase in kinetic energy must be accompanied by a strictly corresponding decrease in fluid pressure. By measuring this pressure difference, the flow rate can be precisely calculated.

EM wave: E and B fields are:
A. Random
B. Parallel
C. Parallel to propagation
D. Perpendicular to each other and propagation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
EM waves transverse: E ⊥ B ⊥ propagation direction. Derived from Maxwell's equations. Memory tip: 'EM wave: right-hand rule for E×B direction'. Wave property frequently tested in competitive modern physics sections.

Question #3 Report Error
The heating effect of electric current is utilised in
A. Galvanometer
B. Electric generator
C. Electric motor
D. Electric fuse

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Fuse uses heating effect (Joule heating I²R). When current exceeds limit, fuse wire melts due to heat, breaking circuit. Motor uses magnetic effect, generator uses electromagnetic induction, galvanometer detects current. Iron box, heater also use heating effect.
