The device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The device that converts mechanical energy into electrical energy is
A. Generator
B. Motor
C. Battery
D. Transformer
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Electric generator (dynamo/alternator) works on electromagnetic induction: mechanical rotation induces emf. Motor does opposite. Transformer changes voltage. Battery converts chemical to electrical.

Question #1 Report Error
In the photoelectric effect, increasing the intensity of the incident light (while keeping frequency constant) will cause:
A. A decrease in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.
B. An increase in the maximum kinetic energy of the emitted electrons.
C. A change in the threshold frequency of the metal surface.
D. An increase in the number of emitted photoelectrons per second.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the kinetic energy of emitted electrons depends exclusively on the frequency of the incident light and the metal's work function. Intensity represents the number of photons striking the surface per second. More photons mean more collisions with electrons, leading strictly to an increase in the number of emitted photoelectrons (photoelectric current), not their energy.

Ultrasound frequencies are typically above
A. 20 Hz
B. 200 Hz
C. 20000 Hz
D. 2000 Hz

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Human hearing range is about 20 Hz to 20 kHz. Sound above 20 kHz is ultrasound. Infrasound is below 20 Hz. Ultrasound used in medical imaging (sonography), cleaning, SONAR.

Question #3 Report Error
Two forces 3 N and 4 N act at right angles. Resultant magnitude is:
A. 1 N
B. 7 N
C. 5 N
D. 12 N

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
For perpendicular forces: R = √(F₁² + F₂²) = √(9 + 16) = √25 = 5 N. Pythagorean theorem applies for vector addition at 90°. Memory aid: '3-4-5 triangle for perpendicular forces'. Basic vector addition problem testing magnitude calculation, common in mechanics sections of competitive exams.
