Coil center magnetic field B = μ₀NI/(2R). If N doubled, B becomes: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Coil center magnetic field B = μ₀NI/(2R). If N doubled, B becomes:
A. Double
B. Half
C. Four times
D. Same
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
B ∝ N. Double turns ⇒ double field at center. Direct proportionality from Biot-Savart law. Memory tip: 'Coil field: B ∝ NI; more turns ⇒ stronger field'. Magnetism formula frequently tested in competitive exams.

An electric bulb rated 220 V, 100 W is operated at 110 V. The power consumed is
A. 12.5 W
B. 50 W
C. 100 W
D. 25 W

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Resistance R = V²/P = 220²/100 = 484 Ω. At 110 V, P = V²/R = 110²/484 = 12100/484 = 25 W. Assuming resistance constant. Power reduces to quarter when voltage halved (P ∝ V² for fixed R).

Question #3 Report Error
In a nuclear reactor, the function of a moderator is to
A. Absorb neutrons
B. Control chain reaction
C. Remove heat
D. Slow down neutrons

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Moderator slows fast neutrons to thermal energies to increase probability of fission. Common moderators: heavy water, graphite. Control rods (cadmium, boron) absorb neutrons. Coolant removes heat.
