Question #1 Report Error
The device used to convert solar energy into electrical energy is
A. Solar heater
B. Solar cell
C. Battery
D. Wind turbine

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Photovoltaic cell (solar cell) directly converts sunlight to electricity. Solar heater uses sun to heat water, not electricity. Wind turbine converts wind energy. Battery stores chemical energy.

Question #2 Report Error
Which of the following physical quantities has the dimensional formula [M^1 L^2 T^-3 A^-2]?
A. Electrical Conductance
B. Electrical Capacitance
C. Electrical Resistance
D. Magnetic Flux

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Electrical resistance (R) is Voltage/Current. Voltage (V) is Work/Charge. Work is [ML^2T^-2] and Charge is [AT]. So, V = [ML^2T^-3A^-1]. Therefore, R = V/A = [ML^2T^-3A^-2]. Memorizing the dimensional formula for resistance is highly recommended for competitive exams.

Question #3 Report Error
Escape velocity from a planet of mass M and radius R is v. For another planet of mass 4M and radius 2R, escape velocity is
A. √2 v
B. v/√2
C. v
D. 2v

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
v_esc ∝ √(M/R). New ∝ √(4M/2R) = √(2M/R) = √2 √(M/R) = √2 v.
