Question #1 Report Error
The dimensions of surface tension are the same as that of:
A. Spring constant
B. Pressure
C. Viscosity
D. Force

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Surface tension is defined as Force per unit length (F/L). Dimensional formula: [MLT⁻²] / [L] = [MT⁻²]. A spring constant (k) is defined by Hooke's Law as Force per unit extension (F/x), which also has dimensions [MLT⁻²] / [L] = [MT⁻²]. Thus, both share the same dimensional formula.

The magnetic field at the center of a circular coil of radius R carrying current I is:
A. μ₀NI/(4πR)
B. μ₀I/(4R)
C. μ₀NI/(2R)
D. μ₀I/(2R)

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
For a circular coil with N turns, magnetic field at center B = μ₀NI/(2R). For single turn (N=1), B = μ₀I/(2R). This derives from Biot-Savart law. Option A is for single turn; B and D have incorrect constants. Memory tip: 'Coil center: B = μ₀NI/(2R); straight wire: B = μ₀I/(2πr)'. This formula application is frequently tested in magnetism sections of competitive exams. Always note number of turns N; competitive exams often include it to test attention to detail.
