The unit of Stefans constant $\sigma$ is:

  1. $\dfrac{{watt}^{4}}{m{K}^{4}}$
  2. $\dfrac{calorie}{{m}^{2}{K}^{4}}$
  3. $\dfrac{watt}{{m}^{2}{K}^{4}}$
  4. $\dfrac{joule}{{m}^{2}{K}^{4}}$

C Correct answer
Explanation

Stefan's law states P = sigma * A * T^4. Rearranging for sigma gives P/(A * T^4), which has units of Watt/(m^2 * K^4).

If $ \overline { A }  $ and $ \overline { B }  $ two different physical quantities, Which of the following mathematical operations is/are valid.

  1. $ \overline { A } $ + $ \overline { B } $
  2. $ \overline { A } .\overline { B } $
  3. $ \overline { A } \times \overline { B } $

  4. Both and (b) and (c)
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation
Since $\vec A$ and $\vec B$ are different physical quantity, thus their unit will be different, only those quantity can be added or subtracted with each other if their units are same.
So, $\vec A+\vec B$  has no  and $\vec A\times \vec B$ physical significance were $\vec A.\vec B$ and $\vec A\times \vec B$are valid as they are the product operation 
Option $D$ is correct.

The SI unit of permeability of free space is

  1. $\cfrac { \text { weber } } { \text { ampere } }$
  2. $\cfrac { \text { henry } } { \text { ampere } }$
  3. $\cfrac { \text { tesla } } { \text { ampere-meter } }$
  4. $\cfrac { \text { weber } } { \text { ampere-meter } }$

D Correct answer
Explanation

The magnetic field B is related to force by F = I * L * B. Thus, B = F/(I * L) = Newton/(Ampere * meter). Since 1 Tesla = 1 Weber/m^2, the units of permeability (mu = B/H) involve Weber/(Ampere * meter).

The value of Faraday number in SI unit is:

  1. $ 9.65 coulomb/kg-equivalent $
  2. $ 9.65\times 10^7 coulomb/kg-equivalent $
  3. $ 9.65\times 10^{-7} coulomb/kg-equivalent $
  4. $ 9.65 \ coulomb/g -equivalent $
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation

Faraday is the charge of 1 mole of electron
That is, $6.022 \times { 10 }^{ 23 } \times 1.60217646 \times { 10 }^{ -19 }\ = 9.65 \times { 10 }^{ 4 } C/g-equivalent \ = 9.65 \times { 10 }^{ 7 }C/kg-equivalent$

SI unit of heat capacity is

  1. joule

  2. joule/kilogram

  3. joule/(kilogram x kelvin)

  4. joule/kelvin
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Heat capacity is a physical property of matter, defined as the amount of heat to be supplied to a given mass of a material to produce a unit change in its temperature. The SI unit for heat capacity of an object is joule per kelvin ($J/K$ or $J k^{-1}$).

A physical quantity u is given by the relation $u=\dfrac{B^2}{2\mu _0}$
Here, $B=$ magnetic field strength
$\mu _o=$ magnetic permeability of vacuum
The name of physical quantity u is?

  1. Energy

  2. Energy density

  3. Pressure

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

The expression B^2 / (2 * mu_0) represents the energy density of a magnetic field, which has the same units as pressure (energy per unit volume).
