Which of the following statements is true regarding uniform circular motion? MCQ with Answer and Explanation

Which of the following statements is true regarding uniform circular motion?
A. Acceleration is zero
B. Speed is constant
C. Kinetic energy changes continuously
D. Velocity is constant
Answer: Option B
Solution (By JKExamLibrary)
In uniform circular motion, speed remains constant but direction changes, so velocity (vector) changes. There is centripetal acceleration towards centre, so acceleration is not zero. Kinetic energy = ½mv², depends on speed, so remains constant. Thus, only speed is constant.

The heating effect of electric current is utilised in
A. Electric fuse
B. Electric motor
C. Electric generator
D. Galvanometer

Correct Answer: Option A


Explanation:
Fuse uses heating effect (Joule heating I²R). When current exceeds limit, fuse wire melts due to heat, breaking circuit. Motor uses magnetic effect, generator uses electromagnetic induction, galvanometer detects current. Iron box, heater also use heating effect.
