Given the inductor of inductance 5mH, 10mH and 20mH connected in series, the effective inductance is

A.

0.35mH

B.

3.50mH

C.

2.90mH

D.

35.0mH

Correct answer is D

Left = L1 + L2 + L3
= 5mH + 10mH + 20mH = 35mH

In the diagram above, the pressure of the gas is

A.

86 cm of mercury

B.

66 cm of mercury

C.

96 cm of mercury

D.

76 cm of mercury

Correct answer is A

Pressure of the Gas, P = A + h
= 76 + 10
86 cm Hg

Find the effective resistance in the diagram above

A.

6 Ω

B.

12 Ω

C.

18 Ω

D.

24 Ω

Correct answer is D

∴ Reff = R1 + R2 + .....
= 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 + 4 = 24 Ω

If a concave lens of focal length 12cm is used to produce a real image four times the size of the object, how far from the lens must the object be placed?

A.

10 cm

B.

15 cm

C.

20 cm

D.

25 cm

Correct answer is B

Magnifications = V/U = 4
∴ V = 4U
1/V + 1/U = 1/f
1/4u + 1/U = 1/12
5/4U = 1/12
4U = 12 x 5 = 60
∴ U = 15 cm

The above figure shows the motion of a progressive wave along a string. The particle motion of the medium is in direction?

A.

parallel to OX

B.

parallel to OY

C.

60o to OX

D.

60v to OY

Correct answer is B

Particles of the transmitting medium in transverse wave oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the wave
