The amount of heat required to raise temperature of 1 g water by 1°C is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The amount of heat required to raise temperature of 1 g water by 1°C is
A. 1 cal
B. Both B and C
C. 1 J
D. 4.2 J
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
1 cal = 4.186 J ≈ 4.2 J. So both are correct. However option D covers both. I'll set D as correct.

The work done in moving a charge q along an equipotential surface is:
A. Infinite
B. Depends on path
C. qV
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Equipotential surface has constant potential V everywhere. Work done W = qΔV; since ΔV = 0 along equipotential, W = 0. This holds for any path on the surface. Electric field is perpendicular to equipotential surfaces, so no work is done moving charge along them. Memory aid: 'Equipotential: ΔV=0 ⇒ W=0; field lines ⊥ equipotentials'. This electrostatics concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always link work to potential difference, not absolute potential; path independence is key for conservative fields.
