What is the SI unit of electric current?

  1. Ampere

  2. Volt

  3. Ohm

  4. Coulomb


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The SI unit of electric current is the ampere (A), which is defined as the flow of one coulomb of charge per second.

What is the relationship between voltage, current, and resistance in an electric circuit?

  1. Ohm's Law

  2. Kirchhoff's Current Law

  3. Kirchhoff's Voltage Law

  4. Faraday's Law


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Ohm's Law states that the voltage across a conductor is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided the temperature and other physical conditions remain constant.

What is the basic unit of charge in an electric circuit?

  1. Electron

  2. Proton

  3. Neutron

  4. Ion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The basic unit of charge in an electric circuit is the electron, which carries a negative charge of 1.602 x 10^-19 coulombs.

What is the process by which electric energy is converted into mechanical energy called?

  1. Electromagnetism

  2. Induction

  3. Motor Effect

  4. Generator Effect


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The process by which electric energy is converted into mechanical energy is called the motor effect. This is the principle behind electric motors, which use electromagnetic fields to generate motion.

What is the process by which mechanical energy is converted into electric energy called?

  1. Electromagnetism

  2. Induction

  3. Motor Effect

  4. Generator Effect


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The process by which mechanical energy is converted into electric energy is called the generator effect. This is the principle behind electric generators, which use electromagnetic fields to generate electricity.

What is the name of the force that exists between two magnets or between a magnet and a magnetic material?

  1. Electrostatic Force

  2. Gravitational Force

  3. Magnetic Force

  4. Nuclear Force


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The force that exists between two magnets or between a magnet and a magnetic material is called the magnetic force.

What is the name of the region around a magnet where its magnetic force is strongest?

  1. Magnetic Field

  2. Magnetic Pole

  3. Magnetic Flux

  4. Magnetic Permeability


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The region around a magnet where its magnetic force is strongest is called the magnetic field.

What is the relationship between electric and magnetic fields?

  1. They are independent of each other

  2. They are perpendicular to each other

  3. They are parallel to each other

  4. They are inversely proportional to each other


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Electric and magnetic fields are perpendicular to each other. This relationship is known as the right-hand rule.
