A wave has frequency 50 Hz and wavelength 0.6 m. Its speed is
A. 30 m/s
B. 300 m/s
C. 83.3 m/s
D. 0.012 m/s

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Wave speed v = fλ = 50 × 0.6 = 30 m/s. Basic wave equation. Ensure consistent units: frequency Hz (s⁻¹), wavelength m. Speed of sound 340 m/s in air, this is slower.

Ammeter connected in circuit:
A. Across power supply
B. Parallel
C. Series
D. Either

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Ammeter measures current, must be in series so same current flows through it. Low resistance minimizes circuit disturbance. Voltmeter connects in parallel. Memory aid: 'Ammeter = series (low R); Voltmeter = parallel (high R)'. Circuit connection rule frequently tested in competitive electricity sections.

The magnetic field inside a long straight solenoid carrying current is:
A. Non-uniform and circular
B. Radially outward
C. Uniform and parallel to axis
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Inside a long solenoid, magnetic field is uniform (constant magnitude and direction), parallel to the axis, given by B = μ₀nI, where n is turns per unit length. Outside, field is nearly zero. This uniformity makes solenoids useful for creating controlled magnetic fields. Memory tip: 'Solenoid: uniform B inside like bar magnet'. This conceptual question tests knowledge of magnetic field configurations, crucial for electromagnetism in competitive exams. Always distinguish solenoid field (uniform inside) from straight wire field (circular, non-uniform).
