Question #1
A body at 100°C is placed in contact with a body at 0°C. Heat flow stops when
A. Thermal equilibrium is reached
B. Both reach 0°C
C. Both reach 100°C
D. Heat content becomes equal

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Heat flows until temperatures equal, i.e., thermal equilibrium. Not necessarily 50°C unless heat capacities equal.

Question #2
When a body is taken from equator to pole, its weight
A. Becomes zero
B. Increases
C. Remains same
D. Decreases

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
g is slightly higher at poles (9.83 m/s²) than equator (9.78 m/s²) due to Earth's rotation (centrifugal effect) and equatorial bulge. Weight = mg, so weight increases slightly. Mass constant.

Question #3
Which scientist famously demonstrated that a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF), discovering electromagnetic induction?
A. Nikola Tesla
B. Heinrich Lenz
C. James Clerk Maxwell
D. Michael Faraday

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction. He showed that moving a magnet through a coil of wire, or changing the magnetic flux in one coil near another, induces an electrical current. Lenz's law later described the direction of that induced current. Maxwell formulated the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation.
