The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The resistance of an ideal voltmeter is
A. Same as ammeter
B. Infinite
C. Zero
D. Low
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Voltmeter connected parallel, should draw minimum current, so ideally infinite resistance. Ammeter connected series, ideally zero resistance. Galvanometer moderate. Practical voltmeter has high but finite resistance.

Question #2 Report Error
In a pressure cooker, food cooks faster because:
A. Heat is trapped inside
B. Steam circulates rapidly
C. Boiling point of water increases due to high pressure
D. Material conducts heat better

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Pressure cooker seals steam, increasing internal pressure above atmospheric. Higher pressure raises water's boiling point (above 100°C), allowing food to cook at higher temperature, speeding up chemical reactions. Option A is vague; C and D are secondary effects. Memory tip: 'Higher pressure ⇒ higher boiling point ⇒ faster cooking'. This daily-life physics question tests application of pressure-temperature relationship in liquids, frequently appearing in competitive exams. Always recall that phase change temperatures depend on pressure (e.g., water boils below 100°C on mountains).

The image formed by a concave lens is always
A. Real, inverted, diminished
B. Real, erect, magnified
C. Virtual, inverted, magnified
D. Virtual, erect, diminished

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Concave lens diverges light, always forms virtual, erect, diminished image on same side as object. Used in spectacles for myopia.
