Q. A block of mass 5 kg is pulled along a horizontal surface with a force of 20 N. If the frictional force acting on the block is 5 N, what is the acceleration of the block? (2021)
A.2 m/s²
B.3 m/s²
C.4 m/s²
D.5 m/s²
Solution
Net force = Applied force - Frictional force = 20 N - 5 N = 15 N. Using F = ma, a = F/m = 15 N / 5 kg = 3 m/s².
Q. A block of mass 5 kg is pulled on a horizontal surface with a force of 20 N. If the frictional force acting on the block is 5 N, what is the acceleration of the block? (2021)
A.1 m/s²
B.2 m/s²
C.3 m/s²
D.4 m/s²
Solution
Net force = Applied force - Frictional force = 20 N - 5 N = 15 N. Acceleration = Net force / Mass = 15 N / 5 kg = 3 m/s².
Q. A capacitor is charged to a potential difference of 12V. If it is disconnected from the battery and the plates are moved apart, what happens to the potential difference? (2021)
A.Increases
B.Decreases
C.Remains the same
D.Becomes zero
Solution
When the plates of a disconnected capacitor are moved apart, the capacitance decreases, leading to an increase in potential difference.
Q. A capacitor is charged to a potential of 12V and then disconnected from the battery. If the distance between the plates is doubled, what is the new potential difference? (2022)
A.6V
B.12V
C.24V
D.0V
Solution
When the distance is doubled, the potential difference across the capacitor also doubles, resulting in 24V.
Q. A capacitor is charged to a potential of 12V and then disconnected from the battery. If the plate area is doubled, what will be the new potential difference? (2022)
A.6V
B.12V
C.24V
D.It cannot be determined
Solution
Once disconnected, the charge remains constant. Doubling the area increases capacitance but does not change the potential difference since the charge is fixed.
Q. A capacitor is charged to a voltage of 12V and then disconnected from the battery. If the distance between the plates is doubled, what happens to the voltage across the capacitor? (2023)
A.It remains the same
B.It doubles
C.It halves
D.It becomes zero
Solution
When the distance between the plates is doubled, the capacitance decreases, which causes the voltage to double since Q remains constant.
Q. A capacitor of capacitance C is charged to a voltage V. If the charge is then removed, what is the potential difference across the capacitor? (2023)
A.0
B.V
C.C
D.CV
Solution
If the charge is removed, the potential difference across the capacitor becomes 0 volts.
