Question #1 Report Error
The primary principle behind the working of a potentiometer is that the potential drop across any length of a uniform wire carrying a constant steady current is:
A. Independent of its length.
B. Directly proportional to its length.
C. Directly proportional to the square of its length.
D. Inversely proportional to its length.

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
A potentiometer uses a long wire of uniform cross-section and composition. When a constant steady current flows through it, Ohm's law (V = IR) and the resistance formula (R = rhoL/A) combine to give V = I(rho/A)L. Since I, rho, and A are constant, the potential drop V is strictly directly proportional to the length L of the wire.

Question #3 Report Error
The focal length of a concave mirror is 10 cm. Object placed at 20 cm gives image distance
A. 10 cm
B. 20 cm
C. 5 cm
D. Infinity

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
u = -20, f = -10. Mirror formula: 1/f = 1/v + 1/u => 1/(-10) = 1/v + 1/(-20) => -1/10 = 1/v - 1/20 => 1/v = -1/10 + 1/20 = -1/20 => v = -20 cm, image at C.
