Physics Chemistry & Biology Test 3
Who studied for the first about phenomenon and properties of electricity ?
  • Coulomb
  • William Gilbert
  • Ohm
  • None
Explanation:

William Gilbert, an English physician, was the first to study electricity's phenomena and properties in detail. His work laid the foundation for future research in electricity and magnetism.

Unit of charge ?
  • Coulomb
  • Coulomb/Area
  • Coulomb*Area
  • None of the above
Explanation:

The unit of electric charge is the coulomb, named after Charles-Augustin de Coulomb. One coulomb represents the amount of charge transferred by a current of one ampere in one second.

In general electricity is classified into ?
  • Static electricity
  • Current (AC/DC)
  • Both a and b
  • None of the above
Explanation:

In general, electricity is classified into Both static electricity and current electricity (which includes both AC and DC).

Static electricity refers to the buildup of electric charge on the surface of objects, while current electricity involves the flow of electric charge through a conductor.

One Ampere ?
  • 1 coulomb +1 second
  • 1 coulomb – 1 second
  • 1 coulomb × 1 second
  • 1 coulomb / 1 second
Explanation:

One Ampere is the unit of electric current, defined as one coulomb of electric charge passing through a conductor in one second, symbolizing the flow of electric charge.

Materials which doesn’t allows flow of charge is called as ?
  • Electrical conductors
  • Electrical Insulators
  • Both a and b
  • None of the above
Explanation:

Materials that do not allow the flow of charge are called Electrical Insulators. They resist the movement of electric charge, preventing the flow of electricity.

Best Electrical conductors are ?
  • Mercury
  • Ordinary water
  • Pure Water
  • A and B
Explanation:

The best electrical conductors are Mercury and Ordinary water. However, it's important to note that while ordinary water contains ions that can conduct electricity, pure water is a poor conductor.

Unit of electric potential ?
  • Watt
  • Explanation:

    The unit of electric potential is called a volt, which measures the potential difference between two points in an electric field. It indicates how much work is needed to move charge.
