The device which converts AC to DC is called MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The device which converts AC to DC is called
A. Transformer
B. Inverter
C. Oscillator
D. Rectifier
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Rectifier (diode bridge) converts AC to DC. Inverter DC to AC. Transformer changes AC voltage level. Oscillator generates AC signal. Electronic devices often need DC.

Question #1 Report Error
Magnetic field around straight current-carrying wire is:
A. Parallel to wire
B. Uniform
C. Circular concentric
D. Radial

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Biot-Savart law: field forms concentric circles around wire, direction by right-hand thumb rule. Magnitude B = μ₀I/(2πr), decreasing with distance. Memory tip: 'Right-hand rule: thumb = current, fingers = field circles'. Fundamental magnetism concept frequently tested in competitive exams.

A 100 W, 200 V bulb is connected to a 100 V supply. Power consumed is
A. 200 W
B. 100 W
C. 25 W
D. 50 W

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
R = V²/P = 40000/100 = 400 Ω. At 100 V, P = V²/R = 10000/400 = 25 W.

Question #3 Report Error
The time period of oscillation of a mass M attached to a spring of force constant k is:
A. π√(M/k)
B. 2π√(M/k)
C. 2π√(g/l)
D. 2π√(k/M)

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For spring-mass system undergoing SHM, time period T = 2π√(M/k), derived from F = -kx = Ma ⇒ a = -(k/M)x, so ω² = k/M, T=2π/ω=2π√(M/k). Option B has inverse ratio; C misses factor 2; D is for pendulum. Memory tip: 'Spring: T ∝ √(M/k); Pendulum: T ∝ √(l/g)'. This standard formula is frequently tested in oscillations sections of competitive exams. Always verify dimensions: √(kg / (N/m)) = √(kg·m/N) = √(s²) = s, correct for time period.
