The ratio of SI units to CGS units of energy is

  1. 10$^5$
  2. 10$^6$
  3. 10$^7$
  4. 10$^{-7}$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Unit of energy is $ML^2T^{-2}$ 

So in  $CGS$ unit, mass = gram, length = centimeter, time = second.
And in $SI$ unit, mass = kilo gram, length = meter ,time = second.
So ratio of both SI to CGS

=$\dfrac{kg.m^2.s^{-2}  }{g.cm^2.s^{-2}}$

=$\dfrac {1000g.100^2cm^2.s^{-2}}{g.cm^2s^{-2}}$

=$10^7$.

The number of joules that is equal in value to 1 kWh is.

  1. $3.6\times 10^8$
  2. $0.36\times 10^4$
  3. $3.6\times 10^5$
  4. $3.6\times 10^6$

D Correct answer
Explanation

1 kWh is equal to 3.6 $\times$ 10$^{6}$

1 Watt-sec  is a Joule a watt expended for a second.

Because there’s 3600 seconds in an hour,

then 3600 Ws = 1 Wh = 3600 Joules = 3.6 kJ

so 1000 Wh = 1 kWh = 1000 $\times$ 3.6 kJ = 3.6 MJ = 3.6 $\times$ 10$^{6}$

Kilowatt hour (kWh) represents the unit of____

  1. power

  2. impulse

  3. mementum

  4. none of these

D Correct answer
Explanation

The kilowatt hour is a unit of energy equal to $3.6\times 10^6J$. If the energy is being transmitted or used at a constant rate (power) over a period of time, the total energy in kilowatt hours is the power in kilowatts multiplied by the time in hours. so if kWh is unit of energy so none of the option is correct hence option D is the answer.

1 MeV is equal to:

  1. $1.6 \times 10^{-19} J$
  2. $1.6 \times 10^{-14} J$
  3. $1.6 \times 10^{-13} J$
  4. $1.6 \times 10^{13} J$

C Correct answer
Explanation

 Electron volt (symbol eV) is a unit of energy equal to approximately 1.6×1019  joules (symbol J). By definition, it is the amount of energy gained (or lost) by the charge of a single electron moving across an electric potential difference of one volt.

And mega electron volt (MeV) is $10^6\times eV$ so $1MeV=1.6 \times 10^{-13}$.
so best possible option is optionC.
