A.

The Earth

B.

Human body

C.

Iron rod

D.

242.

The force per unit charge experienced at a point in a field is the

A.

gravitational field strength

B.

electric potential

C.

electric field intensity

D.

magnetic field strength

Correct answer is C

Electric intensity at a point is defined as the force experienced per unit positive charge at a point placed in the electric field.

244.

The inverse of the time required for a wave to complete one full cycle is called

A.

wavelength

B.

period

C.

frequency

D.

amplitude

Correct answer is C

The time required to complete one full cycle is the period; the inverse of the period gives the frequency.

245.

A converging lens of focal length 10cm forms an erect image three times the size of the real object. Calculate the distance between the image and the object.

A.

6.6cm

B.

11.1cm

C.

13.3cm

D.

20.0cm

Correct answer is C

Given, image size = 3U

object size = U

focal length = 10cm

lens to object distance = \(\frac{focal length \times object size}{image size}\)

= \(\frac{10 \times u}{3u} = 3.33\)

distance between image and object = 10 + 3.33 = 13.33cm
