Which of the following is a vector quantity? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following is a vector quantity?
A. Magnetic field intensity
B. Electric potential
C. Resistance
D. Magnetic flux
Answer: Option A
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Magnetic field intensity (H) and magnetic field (B) are vectors. Magnetic flux is scalar (Φ = B·A). Resistance scalar, potential scalar. Vector quantities have direction. Current has direction but adds by scalar law, considered tensor sometimes but in basic physics not vector.

The work done by a conservative force acting on a particle moving around any closed path is:
A. Depends on the path taken
B. Zero
C. Positive
D. Negative

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
By definition, a force is conservative if the work done by it on an object moving between two points is completely independent of the path taken. A direct consequence of this is that the total work done by a conservative force (like gravity or electrostatic force) in moving an object around a closed loop (returning to the starting point) is exactly zero.

Two resistors 3 Ω and 6 Ω are connected in parallel. The equivalent resistance is
A. 1 Ω
B. 2 Ω
C. 9 Ω
D. 3 Ω

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
For parallel: 1/R = 1/3 + 1/6 = (2+1)/6 = 3/6 = 1/2 => R = 2 Ω. Product/sum rule for two: (3×6)/(3+6)=18/9=2 Ω. Always less than smallest resistance.

The slope of a displacement-time graph for uniform motion is
A. Displacement
B. Acceleration
C. Velocity
D. Zero

Correct Answer: Option C


Explanation:
Displacement-time graph slope = Δx/Δt = average velocity. For uniform motion, velocity constant, graph is a straight line, slope equals velocity. Acceleration would be slope of velocity-time graph. Thus, slope represents velocity. Exam trick: slope of x-t graph gives instantaneous velocity.
