Question #1
Which of the following physical quantities is an example of a vector quantity?
A. Electric field intensity
B. Electric charge
C. Electric current
D. Electric potential

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
A vector quantity possesses both magnitude and a specific spatial direction, and it must obey the laws of vector addition. Electric field intensity is a vector (force per unit charge, having the direction of the force). Electric current has a direction in circuits but adds algebraically like a scalar (violating vector addition). Charge and potential are standard scalars.

Question #2
The SI unit of luminous flux is
A. Lux
B. Watt
C. Candela
D. Lumen

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Lumen (lm) = cd·sr. Candela is luminous intensity. Lux is illuminance (lm/m²). These are photometric units, important in lighting.

Question #3
A particle moves such that its position coordinates (x, y) are given by x = 2t and y = t^2. The equation of its trajectory is:
A. y = x
B. y = 2x^2
C. y = x^2 / 4
D. y = x^2 / 2

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
The equation of trajectory represents the path of the particle in the x-y plane, eliminating the time variable 't'. Given x = 2t, we can write t = x/2. Substitute this into the y equation: y = t^2 = (x/2)^2 = x^2 / 4. This confirms the particle moves in a parabolic path.
