Carnot efficiency depends on: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Explanation:
Lamination of core increases resistance to circulating eddy currents, reducing eddy current losses (I²R). Hysteresis loss reduced by using soft iron. Copper loss is in windings. Lamination is insulation between layers.

Explanation:
A freely falling body falls under the sole influence of Earth's gravity (neglecting air resistance). Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity ('g') is constant (approximately 9.8 m/s²). Because the acceleration does not change during the fall, it is an example of uniform accelerated motion.

Explanation:
Pressure cooker seals steam, increasing internal pressure above atmospheric. Higher pressure raises water's boiling point (above 100°C), allowing food to cook at higher temperature, speeding up chemical reactions. Option A is vague; C and D are secondary effects. Memory tip: 'Higher pressure ⇒ higher boiling point ⇒ faster cooking'. This daily-life physics question tests application of pressure-temperature relationship in liquids, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always recall that phase change temperatures depend on pressure (e.g., water boils below 100°C on mountains).
