Physics MCQ Practice 13 — Science Foundation Course for Class 11 & 12

1. A body starts from rest and covers 100 m in 5 seconds with uniform acceleration. The acceleration is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) 8 m/s²

Explanation:
s = ½at² → 100 = ½a×25 → a = 8 m/s²
2. The ratio of gravitational force on Earth to Moon is 6:1. The ratio of their radii is approximately:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) 3.7:1

Explanation:
g ∝ M/R ² → ratio leads to R_E / R_M ≈ 3.7
3. Three capacitors 2 μF, 4 μF and 6 μF in series. Equivalent capacitance is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) 1.09 μF

Explanation:
1/C = 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/6 ≈ 0.9167 → C ≈ 1.09 μF
4. The beat frequency produced by two tuning forks of 256 Hz and 260 Hz is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (a) 4 Hz

Explanation:
Beat frequency = |f₁ - f₂| = 4 Hz
5. The force on a charged particle moving perpendicular to magnetic field is maximum when angle is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) 90°

Explanation:
F = qvB sinθ → maximum at 90°
6. A convex mirror has focal length 30 cm. For an object at 20 cm, image distance is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) 12 cm

Explanation:
1/v + 1/u = 1/f (convex positive f) → v = +12 cm (virtual)
7. In a series RLC circuit at resonance, the current is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (b) Maximum

Explanation:
Impedance minimum (=R) at resonance → current maximum
8. The phenomenon of splitting of white light into colours is called:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) Dispersion

Explanation:
Dispersion is splitting of light into spectrum
9. If the amplitude of a wave is doubled, its energy becomes:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) Four times

Explanation:
Energy ∝ (amplitude)²
10. The dimensional formula of angular velocity is:

Show Answer & Explanation
Correct Answer: (c) [M⁰L⁰T⁻¹]

Explanation:
ω = θ/t → [T⁻¹]
