I. Force (N)
II.Torque (Nm)
III. Current (A)
IV. Power (W)
Which of the above are the correct S. I: units of the quantities indicated?

A.

I and II only

B.

I and III only

C.

I, II and III only

D.

I, II, III and IV only

Correct answer is D

∴i,ii, iii and iv have correct units.

Silicon doped with aluminum and germanium doped with arsenic become?

A.

p- and n- types respectively

B.

n- en p- type respectively

C.

p- type semiconductor

D.

n- type semiconductors

Correct answer is A

When silicon, a four valency element, is doped with aluminum, a three valency element, a p-type semiconductor is produced where the major carriers are the electrons.
Thus, the correct option is p-type and n-type respectively

The energy E of a photon and it's wavelength are related by Eλ = X. the numerical value of X is?

[h = 6.63 x 10-34js, c = 3 x 108 ms-1]

A.

6.6 X 10-28

B.

1.99 X 10-27

C.

6.60 x 10-26

D.

1.99 x 10-25

Correct answer is D

E = HF = (hc)/λ
Eλ = hc
∴ X = hc ==6.63 x 10-34 x 108
= 1.989 x 10-25
=1.99 x 10-25

A radioactive substance has a half life of 20 days. What fraction of the original radioactive nuclei will remain after 80 days?

A.

\( \frac{1}{32} \)

B.

\( \frac{1}{16} \)

C.

\( \frac{1}{8} \)

D.

\( \frac{1}{4} \)

Correct answer is B

80 days = 4 half lives (i.e 4 x 20dqs = 80dq)

But the fraction always left by any radioactive material after 4 half lives is

\( \left ( \frac{1}{2} \right)^4 = \frac{1}{16} \)
