The commercial unit of electrical energy is kWh. 1 kWh equals how many joules? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The commercial unit of electrical energy is kWh. 1 kWh equals how many joules?
A. 3.6 × 10⁴ J
B. 3.6 × 10³ J
C. 3.6 × 10⁵ J
D. 3.6 × 10⁶ J
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
1 kWh = 1000 W × 3600 s = 3,600,000 J = 3.6 × 10⁶ J. This is a standard conversion. Power (watt) × time (hour) gives energy. 1 watt = 1 J/s. Remember this for electricity bills.

The phenomenon of diffraction is most pronounced when:
A. Obstacle size is much larger than wavelength
B. Obstacle size is much smaller than wavelength
C. Obstacle size is comparable to wavelength
D. Wavelength is zero

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Diffraction (bending of waves around obstacles) is significant when obstacle or aperture size is comparable to the wavelength of the wave. If size >> λ, diffraction is negligible (ray optics); if size
