MCQ
Which of the following subatomic particle is lightest?
  • A
    Neutron
  • B
    Alpha particle
  • C
    Electron
  • D
    Deuterium

Answer

  1. Electron

Explanation:

Alpha particle has highest mass of the given option which is he rest mass of the alpha particle amounts to 6.64424 × 10−27kg.

Mass of neutron is 1.0086654 a.m.u.

Mass of electrons = 9.10938291 × 10−31 kilograms.

Hence mass of alpha particle is greatest.

A thin diamagnetic rod is placed vertically between the poles of an electromagnet. When the current in the electromagnet is switched on, then the diamagnetic rod is pushed up, out of the horizontal magnetic field. Hence, the rod gains gravitational potential energy. The work required to do this comes from:
