In order to absorb more heat, the outer surface of copper tube of solar water heater is coloured with :

  1. Red

  2. Yellow

  3. Black

  4. Green
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Among all colour black is the best absorber for heat  so outer surface of copper tube is coloured with black.

In geothermal plants steam is raised by pumping water upto the layer of magma.                           .......................

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Ambiguous

  4. Data insufficient
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

The most common way of capturing the energy from geothermal sources is to tap into naturally occurring 'hydrothermal convection' systems, where cooler water seeps into Earth's crust, is heated up, and then rises to the surface. Once this heated water is forced to the surface, it is a relatively simple matter to capture that steam and use it to drive electric generators. Geothermal power plants drill their own holes into the rock to more effectively capture the steam.
Hence, the statement is true.

A mercury drop of water has potential 'V' on its surface. $1000$ such drops combine to form a new drop. Find the potential on the surface of the new drop.

  1. V
  2. $10$V
  3. $100$V
  4. $1000$V
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Potential of single smaller Hg drop of water =$\dfrac{Kq}{r}$=V-----(1)

and we know potential of n smaller Hg drop of water $=\dfrac{Knq}{R}$------(2)
Volume of 1000 small drops = volume of larger drop
$1000\dfrac{4}{3}\pi {r}^{3}=\dfrac{4}{3}\pi {R}^{3}$
Thus radius of bigger droplet $R=10r$
 Now putting the value of R in equation 2 we get
Potential of larger drop$=\dfrac{1000Kq}{10r}$=$100V$

There will be an increase in potential energy of the system if work is done upon the system by

  1. any conservative or non-conservative forces

  2. a non-conservative force

  3. conservative force

  4. None of the these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Since potential energy defined only for conservative force. It will increase for conservative force.

Potential energy of a body depends on its:

  1. motion

  2. colour

  3. mass

  4. none of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

We know that potential energy is the energy possesd by the virtue of its position.
So, $F = mgh $
Where, $ m = $ mass
So, From above equation we can deduce that potential energy depends on the mass of the substance.

The principle behind the working of an atom bomb is:

  1. Nuclear fussion

  2. Nuclear fission

  3. Radioactivity

  4. None of these
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Nuclear fission

 The atom bomb , also known as atomic bomb or fission bomb is an explosive device  that derives its destructive force from the fission of heavy elements. Typical fuel for the fission reaction within the bomb is either uranium or plutarium.
