MCQ
Weight of a body is maximum at
- AMoon
- ✓Poles of earth
- CEquator of earth
- DCentre of earth
✓
Answer
Correct option: B.
Poles of earth
b
(b) We know that the weight of the body is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity and the acceleration due to gravity increases with the latitude
(b) We know that the weight of the body is the product of mass and acceleration due to gravity and the acceleration due to gravity increases with the latitude
Now the latitude is minimum at the equator and maximum at the poles So, acceleration due to gravity and hence weight is maximum at the poles and minimum at the equator
Hence correct answer is option $A$

As shown in the figure, a combination of a thin plano concave lens and a thin plano convex lens is used to image an object placed at infinity. The radius of curvature of both the lenses is $30\,cm$ and refraction index of the material for both the lenses is $1.75$. Both the lenses are placed at distance of $40\,cm$ from each other. Due to the combination, the image of the object is formed at distance $x =..........cm$, from concave lens.

→Assertion $A:$ Photodiodes are used in forward bias usually for measuring the light intensity.
Reason $R:$ For a $p-n$ junction diode, at applied voltage $V$ the current in the forward bias is more than the current in the reverse bias for $\left|V_z\right| > \pm V \geq\left|V_0\right|$ where $V_0$ is the threshold voltage and $V _{ z }$ is the breakdown voltage.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below
