31. The amount of energy required to change a kilogram of ice block into water without a change in temperature is?
- A. specific latent heat of fusion of ice
- B. specific heat capacity of rice
- C. heat capacity of rice
- D. specific heat of vaporization of rice
Correct Option: Answer is A
32. Which expression gives magnetic flux?
Correct Option: Answer is C
the magnetic flux through a surface is the surface integral of the normal component of the magnetic field B over that surface.
It is usually denoted Φ or ΦB. The SI unit of magnetic flux is the weber
Mathematically it is represented as B = Φ/A
where B is magnetic flux density in teslas (T),
Φ is magnetic flux in webers (Wb), and
A is area in square meters (m2).
33. The graph of pressure (P) against the reciprocal of the volume (I/V) in Boyles’s law is a?
- A. hyperbola
- B. parabola
- C. curve
- D. straight line
Correct Option: Answer is A
The pressure (p) of a given quantity of gas varies inversely with its volume (v) at constant temperature; i.e., in equation form, pv = k, a constant.
The graph of Boyle’s law is called the PV curve.
This graph of Boyle’s law is not straight but hyperbolic; this is because the statement says that at a constant temperature the pressure and the volume are inversely proportional.
34. What quantity of heat is required to convert 20 g of ice at 0 ºC to water at the same temperature? (Specific latent heat of ice = 336 Jg−1)
- A. 7.06 x 103J
- B. 5.38 x 103J
- C. 6.72 x 103J
- D. 1.35 x 103J
Correct Option: Answer is C
