Question #1 Report Error
A fuse wire should have
A. High melting point and high resistance
B. Low melting point and high resistance
C. High melting point and low resistance
D. Low melting point and low resistance

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Fuse wire must melt easily (low melting point) to break circuit on overload, and have high resistance to produce sufficient heat (I²R). Materials: tin-lead alloy. Copper not used as fuse.

Question #2 Report Error
Which scientist famously demonstrated that a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF), discovering electromagnetic induction?
A. Heinrich Lenz
B. James Clerk Maxwell
C. Nikola Tesla
D. Michael Faraday

Correct Answer: Option D


Explanation:
Michael Faraday discovered electromagnetic induction. He showed that moving a magnet through a coil of wire, or changing the magnetic flux in one coil near another, induces an electrical current. Lenz's law later described the direction of that induced current. Maxwell formulated the classical theory of electromagnetic radiation.

Question #3 Report Error
Who is credited with the discovery of the electron?
A. Niels Bohr
B. Ernest Rutherford
C. J. J. Thomson
D. James Chadwick

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
J. J. Thomson discovered the electron in 1897 through his experiments with cathode ray tubes. He demonstrated that cathode rays were actually streams of negatively charged subatomic particles, much smaller than atoms. Rutherford is famous for discovering the nucleus (gold foil experiment), Chadwick discovered the neutron, and Bohr developed the planetary model of the atom.
