Question #1
Kirchhoff's Voltage Law (KVL), which states that the algebraic sum of all potential differences in any closed loop is zero, is a direct manifestation of the conservation of:
A. Energy
B. Linear Momentum
C. Mass
D. Electric Charge

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Kirchhoff's Second Law (KVL) is based on the principle that the electrostatic field is conservative. The work done (energy spent or gained) in moving a unit charge completely around a closed electrical loop must be zero. Therefore, the sum of voltage drops and EMFs is zero. This strictly represents the Law of Conservation of Energy.

Question #2
The power of a lens is +2 D. Its focal length is
A. 2 m
B. 0.5 m
C. 20 cm
D. 50 cm

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Power P = 1/f (in metre). f = 1/P = 1/2 = 0.5 m = 50 cm. Positive power indicates convex lens. For concave lens, power negative. Dioptre (D) is SI unit of power. Remember f in metres.

Question #3
An iron needle sinks in water, whereas an iron ship floats. This is because:
A. The weight of the water displaced by the ship is greater than the weight of the ship.
B. The density of the ship is greater than that of the needle.
C. The ship is hollow.
D. The average density of the ship is less than that of water.

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Though the ship is made of iron, it is hollow inside and traps a large volume of air. This makes the overall or average density of the ship less than the density of water. According to the law of floatation, an object floats if its average density is less than that of the fluid. A solid iron needle has a higher density than water, so it sinks.
