The device used to measure electric potential difference is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The device used to measure electric potential difference is
A. Ohmmeter
B. Ammeter
C. Voltmeter
D. Galvanometer
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Voltmeter measures potential difference in volts. Connected in parallel, high resistance. Galvanometer detects small current, can be converted to ammeter/voltmeter. Ammeter for current. Ohmmeter for resistance.

The angle of minimum deviation for a prism depends on:
A. Wavelength of light only
B. Refractive index only
C. Angle of prism only
D. Both angle of prism and refractive index

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Minimum deviation δ_m for a prism: n = sin[(A + δ_m)/2] / sin(A/2), where A is prism angle, n refractive index. Thus δ_m depends on both A and n. Since n varies with wavelength (dispersion), δ_m also depends on wavelength, but the primary dependencies are A and n. Memory tip: 'δ_m increases with A and n; used to measure n'. This optics formula application is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that minimum deviation occurs when ray passes symmetrically through prism, a key condition for derivation.

Question #3 Report Error
A cork floats on water because its density is
A. Greater than that of water
B. Less than that of water
C. Zero
D. Equal to that of water

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Objects float if their density is less than the fluid. Cork density < water density, so it floats. Iron sinks because density > water. Ship made of iron floats due to shape displacing more water, average density less.
