21. Effective resistance of the parallel combination of two resistors with 2Ω and 3Ω resistance, respectively, is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-I)]

Correct Answer: (1) 1.Ω
Solution:Total resistance in a Parallel circuit with two resistors is given by the formula,

• 1/R = 1/R1 + 1/R2

• So, according to the question, 1/R= ₁/₂ +1/3=(3+2)/6=5/6

• Ω R = 6/5 = 1.2 Ω

22. An electric circuit consumes energy at a rate of 540 W per minute when heated. If the voltage across the circuit is 270V, what is the resistance of the circuit? [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) 135 ohm
Solution:The relation between Power and Resistance is ex-pressed as P = V²/R, where P is the Power measured in watt, R is the resistance measured in ohms, and V is the electric potential measured in volts.

• Power = V₂/R

• 540 = (270)²/R

⇒ R = 270 x 270/540  = 72,900/540

= 135 ohm.

23. Focal length of the concave mirror which can produce magnification of -2 and real image at a distance 1.5m from the pole is: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) -1.5 m
Solution:d₀ = Object distance

d₁ = image distance

m = -d₁/d₀ = -2

d₁ = 1.5 m

1/f = 1/d₀  + 1/1.5 m

1/f = (2/d₀  + 1)/3

3 = (2f +(f * d₀)/d₀

⇒ 2f + (f * d₀)= 3d₀

f(2 + d₀) = 3d₀

F = (3d₀)/(2 + d₀)

Now , m = -d₁ /d₀ ⇒ -2 = 1/5/d₀

⇒ d₀ = -0.75m

1/f = 1/d₀ + 1/d₁

F = (3d₀)/2 +d₀)

= (3 * (-0.75m) /2 -0.75m)

= -1.5 m

24. In an electric motor, the _________ act(s) as a contact between the commutator and the terminals of the battery. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (2) carbon brushes
Solution:Carbon brushes act as contacts between the commutator and the terminals of the battery.

• A battery connected to the carbon brushes supplies the current.

25. Suppose an object of height 5cm is placed in front of a concave mirror and a real and inverted image of the same size is formed at a distance of 20.0 cm. Then the centre of curvature of the mirror is at: [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) 20 cm
Solution:m = h₁/h₀ = 5 cm/5cm = 1

d₁ = -20 cm

1/f = 1/d₀  - 1/20 cm

1/f = (20 - d₀) / (20 * d₀)

20 * d₀ = f (20 - d₀

⇒ = (20 * d₀) / d₀ + 20)

d₀ = -20 cm

∴ f = [20 * (-20)] / [(-20) + (20)]

= -20 cm

Therefore, the centre of curvature of the mirror is located at 20 cm from the mirror is  located at 20 cm from the mirrors pole which is equal to the image distance.

26. Which of the following properties is required for a material to be used in filament of an electric bulb? [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (3) High resistivity
Solution:The material used for the filament for an electric bulb must have high resistivity so that the resistance will be high for the filament and higher resistance will dissipate more heat and light energy as required by the filament.

• The material of filament must have a high value of melting point so that the filament can withstand the high value of temperature and must not melt.

27. A device employed to produce large currents for use in homes and industry is_________. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (1) electric generator
Solution:Electric generator is employed to produce large currents for use in homes and industry.

• It converts motive power (mechanical energy) or fuel-based power (chemical energy) into electric power for use in an external circuit.

• Electric generators work on the principle of electromagnetic induction.

28. A copper wire has radíus 0.5 mm and length 100m. If the resistivity of the material is 2.5 x 10-⁸ ohm -m, then the resistance of the wire is_________. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) 10/π ohm
Solution:Area of cross section = A

= R ∴ (D/2)²

Diameter = 2 x Radius = 2 x 0.5 mm = 1 mm = 0.001 m length = 100 m

∴ R = ρ l/A

= 2.5 * 10-⁸ * 10²/ π(0.001/2)²

= 2.5 * 4/π = 10/π = ohm.

29. Clouds can be seen as white because the small water droplets of the cloud__________. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (4) scatter all the wavelengths with almost equal intensity
Solution:scatter all the wavelengths of the visible light with almost equal intensity

• Scattering of light depends on the size of particles responsible for scattering.

• The clouds are nearer the earth surface, and they contain dust particle and aggregates of water molecules of sizes bigger than the wavelength of visible light.

• Therefore, the dust particles and water molecules present in clouds scatter all color of incident white light from sun by about the same amount.

• Light of all wavelengths are scattered equally and hence clouds appear white.

30. The splitting of light of the sum into various colour of the rainbow is called_________. [RRB Group 'D' CBT Exam, 11.10.2022 (Shift-II)]

Correct Answer: (2) Dispersion of light
Solution:The splitting of white light into seven constituent colours  -violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange, and red (VIBGYOR) is called dispersion of light.

• Example: A rainbow is produced by the dispersion of white sunlight by raindrops.
