The electrical resistance of a conductor depends on its MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The electrical resistance of a conductor depends on its
A. Magnetic property
B. Length and area of cross-section
C. Colour
D. Transparency
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
R = ρL/A, depends on length (L), cross-sectional area (A), and resistivity (ρ) which depends on material and temperature. Not on colour or transparency.

Question #1
A ball is projected horizontally from top of a cliff. The time to hit ground depends on
A. Horizontal velocity
B. Height of cliff and g
C. Both velocity and height
D. Mass of ball

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Vertical motion is independent of horizontal. t = √(2h/g). Mass doesn't affect. Horizontal velocity affects range, not time of fall. Projectile motion independence of perpendicular components.

Question #3
A ball is dropped from a height 'h' and simultaneously another ball is thrown horizontally from the same height. Which ball will hit the ground first? (Neglect air resistance)
A. The dropped ball
B. Depends on the initial horizontal velocity
C. The horizontally thrown ball
D. Both will hit the ground simultaneously

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Vertical and horizontal motions are completely independent. Both balls have zero initial downward (vertical) velocity and both are subject to the same downward acceleration due to gravity (g). Since the vertical height (h) is the same, using h = ut + ½gt², time t = √(2h/g) applies equally to both. Thus, they hit the ground simultaneously.
