  1. ${ Am }^{ -1 }$
  2. ${ Am }^{ -2 }$
  3. ${ Hm }^{ -2 }$
  4. ${ Hm }^{ -1 }$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Magnetic permeability is a constant of proportionality that exists between magnetic induction and magnetic field intensity. 

In SI units, permeability is measured in henries per meter $H/m$ or $H m^{-1}$.

Density is a ________ physical quantity.

  1. fundamental

  2. derived

  3. semi-derived

  4. semi-fundamental

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Density is calculated from mass and volume by the relation   $\rho = \dfrac{m}{V}$
Since, density depends on other fundamental quantity for its measurement.
So, density is a derived physical quantity.

The effect of an impulse force on the body is measured only in terms of its

  1. Force

  2. Moment of momentum

  3. Impulse

  4. None of these

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

The effect of an impulse force on the body is measured only in terms of impulse. If a moving object is stopped by an impact, the change in momentum of the object occurs. This change in momentum is called the impulse.
