The ratio of SI to CGS unit of force is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The ratio of SI to CGS unit of force is
A. 10⁵
B. 10³
C. 10²
D. 10⁷
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
SI unit Newton (kg m/s²), CGS unit dyne (g cm/s²). 1 N = 10⁵ dyne. Conversion: 1 kg = 10³ g, 1 m = 100 cm, so 1 N = 10³ × 10² = 10⁵ dyne. Ratio N/dyne = 10⁵.

The root mean square value of alternating current is defined as the equivalent DC current that produces the same:
A. Voltage
B. Magnetic field
C. Charge flow
D. Power dissipation

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
RMS value of AC is defined such that I_rms²R = average power dissipated, same as DC current I_dc would produce (I_dc²R). Thus I_rms = I₀/√2 for sinusoidal AC. This definition ensures power calculations use RMS values. Memory tip: 'RMS: heating effect equivalent to DC; I_rms = 0.707 I₀ for sine wave'. This AC fundamentals concept is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always use RMS values for power calculations in AC circuits; peak values overestimate power.

Escape velocity from a planet depends on
A. Radius of planet only
B. Mass of escaping body
C. Density of atmosphere
D. Mass and radius of planet

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
v_esc = √(2GM/R), depends on planet's mass and radius, not body's mass.
