The work done in moving a body along a closed path in a conservative force field is MCQ with Answer and Explanation

The work done in moving a body along a closed path in a conservative force field is
A. Minimum
B. Depends on path
C. Zero
D. Maximum
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Conservative forces (gravitational, electrostatic) have zero net work around closed path. Friction is non-conservative.

The radius of the nth Bohr orbit in hydrogen atom is proportional to:
A. n
B.
C. 1/n²
D. 1/n

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Bohr model: radius r_n = (4πε₀ħ²n²)/(m_e e²) = n² a₀, where a₀ is Bohr radius (≈0.529 Å). Thus r_n ∝ n². Energy E_n ∝ -1/n². Memory tip: 'Bohr radius: r ∝ n²; energy: E ∝ -1/n²'. This atomic physics formula is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always recall that n is principal quantum number; higher n means larger orbit, less tightly bound electron. This problem assesses understanding of quantization in early quantum theory.
