SI unit of luminous intensity: MCQ with Answer and Explanation

SI unit of luminous intensity:
A. Lumen
B. Lux
C. Candela
D. Watt
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Candela (cd) is SI base unit for luminous intensity. Lumen: luminous flux; Lux: illuminance; Watt: power. Memory aid: 'Candela = candle power; base unit for perceived light'. Unit knowledge frequently tested in competitive exams.

A freely falling body exhibits which type of motion?
A. Zero acceleration
B. Non-uniform acceleration
C. Uniform velocity
D. Uniform acceleration

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
A freely falling body falls under the sole influence of Earth's gravity (neglecting air resistance). Near the surface of the Earth, the acceleration due to gravity ('g') is constant (approximately 9.8 m/s²). Because the acceleration does not change during the fall, it is an example of uniform accelerated motion.

The substance that sublimes is
A. Naphthalene
B. Iron
C. Water
D. Ice

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Naphthalene (mothballs), camphor, dry ice sublime (solid → gas). Ice melts. Iron solid till melting. Water evaporates from liquid. Sublimation skips liquid phase.

Question #3 Report Error
Which of the following physical quantities has the dimensional formula [M^1 L^2 T^-3 A^-2]?
A. Electrical Capacitance
B. Electrical Conductance
C. Magnetic Flux
D. Electrical Resistance

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Electrical resistance (R) is Voltage/Current. Voltage (V) is Work/Charge. Work is [ML^2T^-2] and Charge is [AT]. So, V = [ML^2T^-3A^-1]. Therefore, R = V/A = [ML^2T^-3A^-2]. Memorizing the dimensional formula for resistance is highly recommended for competitive exams.
