Explanation

• Boiling point of water: 100°C
• Freezing point of water: 0°C
• Standard atmospheric pressure: 1 atm (760 mmHg)
• 0°C = 32°F
• 100°C = 212°F

Explanation

• The laws of magnetic induction were given by Michael Faraday.
• Faraday proposed these laws in 1831 after discovering electromagnetic induction.
• The laws explain that a changing magnetic field induces an electromotive force (EMF) in a conductor.
• These laws are the foundation of electric generators and transformers.

Explanation

• Zero error is a Systematic error because it causes a consistent error in every measurement.
• It occurs when an instrument does not read zero even when no quantity is being measured.
• The same error is repeated in all readings unless corrected.
• Zero error may be positive or negative.
• It can be corrected by applying a zero correction.

Explanation

• Convex lenses are known as Converging lenses.
• Because they bring parallel light rays to a single focal point.
• A convex lens is thicker at the center and thinner at the edges.
• It forms real and inverted images when the object is beyond the focal length.
• It can also produce a virtual, erect, and magnified image when the object is placed within the focal length.

Additional information:

• Concave lens is also called a diverging lens.

Explanation

• Volt (V) is the SI unit of potential difference (voltage).
• Potential difference is the electrical force that causes current to flow through a conductor.
• It is measured using a voltmeter.
• The SI unit is named after Alessandro Volta.

Additional information:

• Electric Current: Ampere (A)
• Resistance: Ohm (Ω)
• Power: Watt (W)
• Charge: Coulomb (C)

Explanation

• Sea water is denser than fresh water because it contains dissolved salts.
• The higher density produces a greater buoyant force, making objects float more easily.
• Fresh water contains much less dissolved salt, so its density is lower.
• This is explained by Archimedes' Principle.

Explanation

• The Uncertainty Principle applies at the quantum level.
• It was proposed by Werner Heisenberg in 1927.
• It states that the exact position and momentum of a particle cannot be measured simultaneously with complete accuracy.

Explanation

• When a moving car suddenly stops, the passenger's body tends to keep moving forward due to inertia of motion.
• This is explained by Newton's First Law of Motion.
• Only the car stops immediately; the passenger's body continues moving forward until restrained.
• Wearing a seat belt helps prevent injury by stopping the body safely.

Explanation

• Weber (Wb) is the SI unit of magnetic flux.
• One Weber is equal to one volt-second (V·s).
• A magnetic flux density of 1 Weber per square metre (1 Wb/m²) is equal to 1 Tesla (T).
• Magnetic flux measures the total magnetic field passing through a surface.
