41. The S.I. unit of induced potential difference is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 22.08.2022 (Shift-III)]

Correct Answer: (1) V
Solution:The potential difference that is induced (created) in a conductor when there is movement between the conductor and a magnetic field is called induced potential difference.

• The SI unit of potential difference is volt.

• Induced potential difference is potential difference only: hence, its unit is volt only.

42. A wire of a given material has length 't and resistance 'R' Another wire of the same material having nine times the length and the same area of cross section will have a resistance equal to: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (4) 9R
Solution:We know that R = P I/A where I is length, A is cross section and P is resistivity of the material.

• According to the question, the other wire is of the same material having nine times the length and the same area of cross section. So, length is the only variable among the two wires.

• Since, resistance of a wire is directly proportional to its length, 9 times increase in length imply nine times increase in resistance.

43. At which position on principal axis does a concave mirror forms a highly diminished. real and inverted image of an object? [RRB Group 'D' CBT Ехаm, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (3) F
Solution:In case of a concave mirror, when an object is placed at infinity, the rays after reflection converge and form an image at F, the principal focus of the mirror, in front of the mirror.

• The image thus formed is highly diminished, point size, real and inverted.

44. An object placed 30cm from a concave lens forms a virtual erect image at a distance of 10 cm from the lens. The magnification produced by the lens is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (3) 1/3
Solution:The magnification of a lens is defined as the ratio of image distance to that of object distance.

• In other words, m = v/u, where m is magnification, v is the image distance and u i the object distance.

• So, according to the question, m= 10/30 = 1/3 cm

45. In a dynamo, electric current is produced using the principle of: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (3) electromagnetic induction
Solution:The generation of electricity by a dynamo is based on a principle called Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction.

• It is based on the principle that when there is a motion of a conductor within a constant magnetic field, an electromotive force is generated in it due to which a current start flowing in it.

• When the lines of force that pass from the north to the south pole of a magnet are cut by a wire there is produced or induced in the wire current of electricity.

46. P, Q, R and S are four points on the surface of a concave mirror as shown in the figure. If r₁, r₂, r₃ and r₄ are the distance of centre of curvature from points P, Q, R and S, respectively, then the correct relation between r₁, r₂, r₃ and r₄ is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (1) r₁=r₂=r₃=r₄
Solution:Spherical mirrors like concave mirrors are part of a sphere.

• The centre of curvature is the centre of the sphere of which the spherical mirror is a part of It.

• It is at the same distance from every part of the surface of the mirror.

47. Which of the following home appliances does NOT use an electric motor? [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (3) Electric iron
Solution:An electric motor is an electrical machine that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy.

• Most electric motors operate through the interaction be tween the motor's magnetic field and electric current in a wire winding to generate force in the form of torque applied on the motor's shaft.

• Electric fans, mixers, washing machines, etc, are some of the domestic appliances that have electric motor.

48. Two resistors of 4 each are connected in parallels to a 5V battery source. The total current in the circuit is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (2) 2.5A
Solution:Total resistance for two resistors in parallel, R=1/R1 +1/R2= 1/4 + 1/4 = 2/4

•S0, R = 4/2 = 2 Ω

• From Ohm's law, Current 1 = V/R = 5/2 =2.5 Ampere

49. Which of the following materials is preferably used in making heating elements of electrical heating devices? [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (2) Nichrome
Solution:Nichrome is used for making heating element of electrical appliances.

• Because nichrome does not oxidize and burn easily at high temperature i.e.it has higher melting and boiling point than metals.

• Thus, it does not melt even when a large amount of heat is produced due to passage of current.

50. Lemons placed inside a beaker filled with water appear relatively larger in size due to: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 23.08.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (1) refraction of light
Solution:A lemon kept in a glass tumbles containing water would appear larger in size due to refraction of light.

•  As light travels from air(rarer) to water (denser) medium, it bend towards the remains due to this lemon would appear larger.
