Question #1 Report Error
A car travels first half distance at 40 km/h and second half at 60 km/h. Average speed is
A. 45 km/h
B. 50 km/h
C. 48 km/h
D. 52 km/h

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Average speed = 2v₁v₂/(v₁+v₂) = 2×40×60/(40+60) = 4800/100 = 48 km/h. Not arithmetic mean (50). For equal distances, harmonic mean of speeds. If times equal, arithmetic mean applies.

The heating effect of electric current is described by:
A. Joule's law
B. Faraday's law
C. Lenz's law
D. Ohm's law

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Joule's law states that heat produced H = I²Rt, where I is current, R resistance, t time. This quantifies electrical energy converted to thermal energy in resistors. Ohm's law relates V, I, R; Faraday's and Lenz's laws concern electromagnetic induction. Memory aid: 'Joule heating ∝ I²R'. This definition-based question tests knowledge of fundamental laws in electricity, commonly examined in competitive exams. Applications include electric heaters, fuses, and incandescent bulbs. Always distinguish Joule's law (heating) from power formulas (P=VI=I²R=V²/R).
