Which of the following materials is used as a fuse wire? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following materials is used as a fuse wire?
A. Aluminium
B. Silver
C. Copper
D. Tin-lead alloy
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
Fuse wire made of alloy of tin and lead (or copper with low melting point). It has low melting point and high resistance. Copper has high melting point, not suitable for fuse. Silver expensive. Aluminium not typical.

Question #1 Report Error
Which scientist famously demonstrated that a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF), discovering electromagnetic induction?
A. James Clerk Maxwell
B. Michael Faraday
C. Nikola Tesla
D. Heinrich Lenz

Correct Answer: Option B


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
If the random error in measurement of radius of a sphere is 2%, the error in volume is
A. 8%
B. 6%
C. 2%
D. 4%

Correct Answer: Option B


Explanation:
Volume V = (4/3)πr³. Fractional error ΔV/V = 3 Δr/r. Percentage error = 3 × 2% = 6%. Important for error analysis in competitive exams.
