Question #1 Report Error
A pressure cooker reduces cooking time because
A. More water is used
B. Low pressure decreases boiling point
C. It absorbs more heat
D. High pressure increases boiling point

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Higher pressure raises boiling point, so water can reach temperatures above 100°C, cooking food faster. At high altitudes, pressure cooker compensates for lower atmospheric pressure.

The phenomenon of resonance in an LCR circuit occurs when:
A. Frequency is zero
B. Resistance is zero
C. Inductive reactance equals capacitive reactance
D. Impedance is maximum

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Resonance in series LCR circuit occurs when X_L = X_C, i.e., ωL = 1/(ωC) ⇒ ω = 1/√(LC). At this frequency, impedance is minimum (Z=R), current maximum, and circuit is purely resistive. Memory tip: 'Resonance: X_L = X_C; ω₀ = 1/√(LC); series: Z_min, parallel: Z_max'. This AC circuit concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish series and parallel resonance conditions; competitive exams often test series LCR resonance fundamentals.
