If a force of 10 N acts on a body and displaces it by 2 m in the direction of the force, the work done is: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

If a force of 10 N acts on a body and displaces it by 2 m in the direction of the force, the work done is:
A. 5 J
B. 0 J
C. 20 J
D. 12 J
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Work done (W) is calculated as the dot product of force and displacement: W = F × d × cos(θ). Since the displacement is in the direction of the force, the angle θ is 0°, and cos(0°) = 1. W = 10 N × 2 m × 1 = 20 Joules (J).

Question #1
Fuse protects circuit by:
A. Storing energy
B. Amplifying signal
C. Melting on overcurrent
D. Limiting voltage

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Fuse wire melts when current exceeds rating (Joule heating I²R), breaking circuit to prevent damage. Sacrificial overcurrent protection. Memory aid: 'Fuse = thermal cutoff; rated current slightly above normal'. Safety device function frequently tested in competitive electricity sections.
