Question 1 of 4

When a charged particle moves through a vacuum at a constant speed, it generates:

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: A moving charged particle generates both an electric field and a magnetic field. The electric field is due to the charge itself, and the magnetic field is produced by the motion of the charge. Choice A is incorrect because a moving charged particle also generates a magnetic field. Choice B is incorrect because a moving charged particle generates both electric and magnetic fields. Choice D is incorrect as a moving charged particle generates fields due to its charge and motion.

Question 2 of 4

What is the electric field inside a hollow conductor with a net charge?

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: The correct answer is C: Zero. According to Gauss's Law, the electric field inside a hollow conductor (a conductor with no charge inside but a net charge on its surface) is zero. The charges reside on the outer surface of the conductor, causing the electric field inside to cancel out. Choices A, B, and D are incorrect because the electric field inside a hollow conductor with a net charge is not constant, does not decrease, and does not become unpredictable; it is zero due to the distribution of charges on its surface.

Question 3 of 4

A constant force is exerted on a stationary object. In this scenario, work is:

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Work is only done when a force causes displacement. Since the object is stationary, no displacement occurs, and therefore, no work is performed. Choice A is incorrect because work requires both force and displacement. Choice C is incorrect as there is no partial work - work is either done or not done. Choice D is incorrect as the scenario provided is clear - the object is stationary, so no work is being performed.

Question 4 of 4

An incandescent lamp consumes 60 Joules of energy per second. What is the power rating of this lamp?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Power is defined as energy consumed per unit time. If the lamp consumes 60 Joules of energy per second, the power rating is 60 Watts. Therefore, choice B is correct. Choice A ('1 Watt') is incorrect because the lamp consumes 60 Joules per second, not 1 Joule per second. Choice C ('1/60 Joules') is incorrect as it does not represent the power rating. Choice D ('Impossible to determine without knowing the voltage') is incorrect because power can be calculated using energy consumption per unit time without needing to know the voltage.
