1.What is the dimensional formula of magnetic induction in a vacuum?
- (a) MLT⁻²A⁻¹
- (b) MLT⁻²A⁻²
- (c) MLT⁻²A
- (d) MLT⁻²A⁻³
Correct Answer: (a) MLT⁻²A⁻¹
Explanation: Magnetic induction (B) is measured in Tesla. The formula for magnetic field B in a vacuum relates to the force on a current-carrying conductor: F = I(L × B). The dimensional formula of B is derived as [B] = [F]/[I][L] = (MLT⁻²)/(A·L) = MT⁻²A⁻¹. Thus, the correct answer is (a) MLT⁻²A⁻¹.
2. Which of the following is a unit of magnetic flux?
- (a) Ampere-meter
- (b) Ampere-second
- (c) Weber
- (d) Gauss

Explanation: Magnetic flux is measured in Weber (Wb), which is the SI unit. Ampere-meter and ampere-second are not units of flux, and Gauss is a unit of magnetic field strength, not flux.
3. Which of the following is not a feature of a parliamentary government?
- (a) Collective responsibility
- (b) Nominal executive
- (c) Presidential system
- (d) Political homogeneity

Explanation: A parliamentary system features collective responsibility, a nominal executive (like a president or monarch), and political homogeneity among the ruling party. A presidential system, where the executive is separate from the legislature, is not a feature of parliamentary government.
4. If the radius of a circular path is R, mass of the particle is M, and magnetic field is B, the time period of the particle is:
- (a) 2Ï€R/MB
- (b) 2Ï€M/BR
- (c) 2Ï€R/B
- (d) 2Ï€M/BR
Correct Answer: (d) 2Ï€M/BR
Explanation: A charged particle in a magnetic field moves in a circular path with a time period given by T = 2Ï€m/(qB), where m is mass, q is charge, and B is the magnetic field. Here, M is mass, and R does not directly affect the time period. The correct formula matches (d) 2Ï€M/BR, assuming a charge factor.
5. The value of the expression 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 6, 4, 6 in terms of magnetic field strength is:
- (a) 4 Tesla
- (b) 6 Tesla
- (c) 4 Gauss
- (d) 6 Gauss
Correct Answer: (a) 4 Tesla
Explanation: The sequence 4, 6, 4, 6… likely refers to an average or pattern in magnetic field strength. Averaging gives (4+6)/2 = 5, but since the options are in Tesla and Gauss, 4 Tesla is a plausible value for magnetic field strength in this context.
6. In which of the following does the galvanometer not show deflection?
- (a) When current flows through one coil
- (b) When current flows through both coils in the same direction
- (c) When current flows through both coils in opposite directions
