Q.1 Easy General Science Physics
A current of 5 A flows through a resistor for 10 seconds. How much charge passes through it?
A 0.5 C
B 2 C
C 50 C
D 500 C
Correct Answer:  C. 50 C
EXPLANATION

Charge Q = I × t, where I = 5 A and t = 10 s. Q = 5 × 10 = 50 Coulombs.

Q.2 Easy General Science Physics
Which of the following has the highest refractive index?
A Air
B Water
C Diamond
D Glass
Correct Answer:  C. Diamond
EXPLANATION

Refractive indices: Air ≈ 1, Water ≈ 1.33, Glass ≈ 1.5, Diamond ≈ 2.42. Diamond has the highest refractive index among these options.

Q.3 Easy General Science Physics
Which of the following statements about gravitational force is correct?
A Gravitational force is repulsive in nature
B Gravitational force depends on the medium between objects
C Gravitational force is always attractive
D Gravitational force acts only between charged objects
Correct Answer:  C. Gravitational force is always attractive
EXPLANATION

Gravitational force is always attractive, acts between any two masses, is independent of the medium, and is governed by Newton's law of universal gravitation.

Q.4 Easy General Science Physics
A car accelerates from rest at 2 m/s². How long does it take to reach 20 m/s?
A 5 seconds
B 10 seconds
C 15 seconds
D 20 seconds
Correct Answer:  B. 10 seconds
EXPLANATION

Using v = u + at, where u = 0, v = 20 m/s, a = 2 m/s². 20 = 0 + 2t, so t = 10 seconds.

Q.5 Easy General Science Physics
Which phenomenon is responsible for the reddish appearance of the Sun at sunset?
A Refraction
B Scattering of light
C Dispersion
D Diffraction
Correct Answer:  B. Scattering of light
EXPLANATION

At sunset, light travels through a longer path in the atmosphere. Shorter wavelengths (blue) scatter more (Rayleigh scattering), leaving longer wavelengths (red) to reach the observer.

Q.6 Easy General Science Physics
A convex lens has a focal length of 15 cm. An object is placed 30 cm from the lens. Where will the image form?
A 30 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, same size)
B 15 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, magnified)
C 45 cm on the same side (virtual, erect, diminished)
D 20 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, magnified)
Correct Answer:  A. 30 cm on the opposite side (real, inverted, same size)
EXPLANATION

Using lens formula: 1/f = 1/u + 1/v. 1/15 = 1/30 + 1/v gives v = 30 cm. When u = 2f, image forms at 2f with magnification -1 (same size, inverted, real).

Q.7 Easy General Science Physics
Which of the following is the SI unit of electric potential?
A Joule per Coulomb
B Newton per Coulomb
C Ampere per Ohm
D Watt per Ampere
Correct Answer:  A. Joule per Coulomb
EXPLANATION

Electric potential is defined as work done per unit charge. SI unit is Joule/Coulomb = Volt. Option D (Watt/Ampere) also equals Volt but option A is more fundamental.

Q.8 Easy General Science Physics
Which color of visible light has the longest wavelength?
A Violet
B Blue
C Yellow
D Red
Correct Answer:  D. Red
EXPLANATION

The visible light spectrum ranges from violet (shortest wavelength ~400 nm) to red (longest wavelength ~700 nm). Red light has the longest wavelength among visible light.

Q.9 Easy General Science Physics
A 2 kg object accelerates at 5 m/s² when a net force is applied. What is the magnitude of the net force?
A 2.5 N
B 5 N
C 10 N
D 20 N
Correct Answer:  C. 10 N
EXPLANATION

Using F = ma, F = 2 × 5 = 10 N. This is a direct application of Newton's Second Law.

Take Test
Q.10 Easy General Science Physics
Which law of motion states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force applied and inversely proportional to its mass?
A Newton's First Law
B Newton's Second Law
C Newton's Third Law
D Law of Universal Gravitation
Correct Answer:  B. Newton's Second Law
EXPLANATION

Newton's Second Law: F = ma, where acceleration is directly proportional to force and inversely proportional to mass.
