The SI unit of electric charge is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The SI unit of electric charge is
A. Coulomb
B. Ohm
C. Ampere
D. Volt
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Coulomb (C) is SI unit of charge. Ampere is unit of current (C/s). Volt is potential difference, ohm is resistance. One coulomb is charge transported by 1 A current in 1 s.

What is the magnetic dipole moment of an electron revolving in a circular orbit of radius 'r' with a uniform speed 'v'?
A. evr / 2
B. evr
C. e / (vr)
D. 2evr

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Magnetic dipole moment M = Current(I) * Area(A). Current is charge/time: I = e / T. Time period T = 2pir / v. So I = ev / (2pir). The area of the circular orbit is A = pir^2. Therefore, M = [ev / (2pir)] * [pir^2] = evr / 2. This is a standard derivation in modern physics.

The principle of a microwave oven is
A. Convection heating
B. Infrared radiation
C. Induction heating
D. Dielectric heating

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Microwaves (2.45 GHz) are absorbed by water, fat, sugar molecules, causing them to rotate and generate heat through dielectric heating. Not induction (metal). Not conventional convection.
