The dimension of Planck's constant is same as that of
A. Energy
B. Force
C. Angular momentum
D. Linear momentum
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Planck's constant h = E/ν, so its dimensions are [Energy]/[Frequency] = [ML²T⁻²]/[T⁻¹] = [ML²T⁻¹]. Angular momentum = mvr = M·LT⁻¹·L = [ML²T⁻¹]. Energy = [ML²T⁻²], linear momentum = [MLT⁻¹], force = [MLT⁻²]. Thus, Planck's constant and angular momentum share dimensions. This is a key dimensional match in quantum mechanics.
Explanation:
Fraction of volume submerged = ρ_ice / ρ_water. If 1/10 above, 9/10 submerged. So ρ_ice/ρ_water = 9/10 => ρ_ice = 0.9 g/cm³. Density of ice is 0.9 g/cm³.
Explanation:
Electric potential V at a point is defined as work done per unit charge to bring a test charge from infinity to that point: V = W/q. Thus potential difference between two points is work per unit charge to move between them. Electric field intensity is force per unit charge; potential energy is work to assemble charges; capacitance is charge storage ability. Memory tip: 'Potential = work per unit charge; field = force per unit charge'. This definition-based question tests electrostatics fundamentals, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always distinguish potential (scalar, work/charge) from field (vector, force/charge).
Explanation:
Electric generators convert mechanical energy to electrical energy using electromagnetic induction: rotating a coil in magnetic field (or vice versa) induces EMF due to changing magnetic flux. This is Faraday's law application. Motors use the reverse principle (force on current-carrying conductor in field). Memory tip: 'Generator: motion ⇒ electricity (induction); Motor: electricity ⇒ motion (force)'. This application question tests understanding of device principles, common in competitive exams. Always distinguish generator (induction) from motor (Lorentz force) operation.
