In the equation F = ma, if mass is doubled and acceleration is halved, force becomes MCQ with Answer and Explanation

In the equation F = ma, if mass is doubled and acceleration is halved, force becomes
A. Half
B. Four times
C. Double
D. Same
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
F = m×a. New force F' = (2m)×(a/2) = m×a = F. So force remains unchanged. This is direct proportionality. Understand the relationship: doubling mass doubles force, halving acceleration halves it, net effect no change.

In a p-n junction diode, the depletion region is created primarily due to:
A. Diffusion of majority charge carriers across the junction.
B. Heating of the semiconductor material.
C. Drift of electrons under a strong electric field.
D. Recombination of minority carriers.

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
When a p-type and an n-type semiconductor are joined, electrons from the n-side (majority carriers) diffuse across the junction to the p-side, and holes from the p-side diffuse to the n-side due to concentration gradients. They recombine near the junction, leaving behind immobile ionized atoms (positive donor ions on n-side, negative acceptor ions on p-side). This uncovered charge region is the depletion layer.

The dimensional formula of coefficient of viscosity is
A. [MLT⁻¹]
B. [M⁰LT⁻¹]
C. [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]
D. [ML⁻²T]

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Viscosity η = Force/(Area × velocity gradient). Force [MLT⁻²], area [L²], velocity gradient [T⁻¹]. So η = [MLT⁻²]/([L²][T⁻¹]) = [ML⁻¹T⁻¹]. Often asked.
