The unit of electric potential is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The unit of electric potential is
A. Coulomb
B. Ohm
C. Volt
D. Ampere
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Volt = J/C. Named after Alessandro Volta. Potential difference drives current. 1 V = 1 J of work per coulomb charge moved.

Question #1 Report Error
Which characteristic of a sound wave determines its pitch?
A. Amplitude
B. Frequency
C. Velocity
D. Wavelength

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
The pitch of a sound is a subjective sensation that is determined primarily by the frequency of the sound wave. Higher frequency waves are perceived as high-pitched sounds (like a whistle), while lower frequency waves are perceived as low-pitched sounds (like a bass drum). Amplitude determines the loudness of the sound.

Question #2 Report Error
A student measures the length of a rod as 3.50 cm using a vernier caliper with least count 0.01 cm. The number of significant figures in this measurement is:
A. 2
B. 1
C. 4
D. 3

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
The measurement 3.50 cm has three significant figures. All non-zero digits (3,5) are significant, and the trailing zero after the decimal point is also significant as it indicates precision of the measuring instrument. The least count of 0.01 cm confirms that the measurement is precise to hundredths place. Significant figures reflect measurement reliability. Exam tip: Trailing zeros after decimal are always significant; leading zeros are never significant. This concept is crucial for error analysis in experimental physics questions.

Question #3 Report Error
The pitch of a sound becomes higher if
A. Wavelength increases
B. Amplitude increases
C. Frequency increases
D. Speed decreases

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Higher frequency → higher pitch. Amplitude increases loudness. Wavelength inversely proportional to frequency (v constant). So increasing frequency increases pitch.
