Question #1 Report Error
Which of the following physical quantities is an example of a vector quantity?
A. Electric potential
B. Electric charge
C. Electric field intensity
D. Electric current

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
A vector quantity possesses both magnitude and a specific spatial direction, and it must obey the laws of vector addition. Electric field intensity is a vector (force per unit charge, having the direction of the force). Electric current has a direction in circuits but adds algebraically like a scalar (violating vector addition). Charge and potential are standard scalars.

A man of mass 60 kg stands on a weighing machine in a lift accelerating upward at 2 m/s². Reading in kg wt (g=10) is
A. 48 kg
B. 60 kg
C. 80 kg
D. 72 kg

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Apparent weight = m(g+a) = 60×12 = 720 N. In kg wt, 720/10 = 72 kg. So machine shows 72 kg. Downward acceleration would show less.

Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), which states that the algebraic sum of all potential differences in any closed loop is zero, is a direct manifestation of the conservation of:
A. Energy
B. Electric Charge
C. Mass
D. Linear Momentum

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Kirchhoff's Second Law (KVL) is based on the principle that the electrostatic field is conservative. The work done (energy spent or gained) in moving a unit charge completely around a closed electrical loop must be zero. Therefore, the sum of voltage drops and EMFs is zero. This strictly represents the Law of Conservation of Energy.
