Class 11 Physics - Chapter 1: Physical World & Measurement

MCQ 1 (JEE Main 2021)

A physical quantity that has different units in different measurement systems is:

🔘 a) Time
🔘 b) Mass
🔘 c) Force
🔘 d) Electric charge

Answer: 🟢 (c) Force

Explanation:

  • (a) Time – Always measured in seconds in SI and CGS systems. ❌ Incorrect

  • (b) Mass – Always measured in kilograms (kg) in SI and grams (g) in CGS. ❌ Incorrect

  • (c) Force – Has different units in SI and CGS:

    • SI Unit: Newton (N)

    • CGS Unit: Dyne (1 N = 10⁵ Dynes)

    • 🟢 Correct answer

  • (d) Electric Charge – Always measured in Coulombs (C) in SI and CGS. ❌ Incorrect

🔴 Important Points:

  1. SI unit of Force = Newton (N).

  2. CGS unit of Force = Dyne (1 N = 10⁵ Dyne).

  3. Force is a vector quantity (it has both magnitude and direction).

  4. Newton’s second law: F = ma.

  5. Dyne is a much smaller unit than Newton.


MCQ 2 (NEET 2020)

Which of the following pairs have identical dimensions?

🔘 a) Work and Power
🔘 b) Energy and Torque
🔘 c) Force and Work
🔘 d) Impulse and Power

Answer: 🟢 (b) Energy and Torque

Explanation:

  • (a) Work (ML²T⁻²) and Power (ML²T⁻³)❌ Different dimensions.

  • (b) Energy (ML²T⁻²) and Torque (ML²T⁻²)🟢 Identical dimensions.

  • (c) Force (MLT⁻²) and Work (ML²T⁻²)❌ Different dimensions.

  • (d) Impulse (MLT⁻¹) and Power (ML²T⁻³)❌ Different dimensions.

🟡 Important Points:

  1. Torque (τ) = Force × Distance (ML²T⁻²).

  2. Work (W) = Force × Displacement (ML²T⁻²).

  3. 🔴 SI unit of Energy & Torque = Joule (J) & Newton-meter (Nm).

  4. Dimensional analysis helps in checking correctness of formulas.

  5. Power (Work/Time) has different dimensions than Work.


MCQ 3 (JEE Advanced 2018)

A dimensionally correct equation is:

🔘 a) v = u + at
🔘 b) s = ut + ½ at²
🔘 c) E = mc²
🔘 d) All of the above

Answer: 🟢 (d) All of the above

Explanation:

  • (a) v = u + at: Velocity (LT⁻¹) = (LT⁻¹) + (LT⁻² × T) → ✅ Correct.

  • (b) s = ut + ½ at²: Displacement (L) = (LT⁻¹ × T) + (LT⁻² × T²) → ✅ Correct.

  • (c) E = mc²: Energy (ML²T⁻²) = Mass (M) × (LT⁻¹)² → ✅ Correct.

  • (d) All of the above: 🟢 All three equations are dimensionally correct.

🟠 Important Points:

  1. Dimensional consistency ensures equation correctness.

  2. 🔴 Power of units must match on both sides.

  3. E = mc² explains energy-mass equivalence in relativity.

  4. s = ut + ½ at² used in kinematics.

  5. 🔵 If an equation is dimensionally incorrect, it must be wrong.


MCQ 4 (CET 2019)

Which of the following has the same unit as angular velocity?

🔘 a) Frequency
🔘 b) Acceleration
🔘 c) Energy
🔘 d) Force

Answer: 🟢 (a) Frequency

Explanation:

  • (a) Frequency: 🟢 Both have SI unit s⁻¹ (Hz for frequency, rad/s for angular velocity).

  • (b) Acceleration: m/s² (Different unit).

  • (c) Energy: Joule (Different unit).

  • (d) Force: Newton (Different unit).

🟡 Important Points:

  1. Angular velocity (ω) = Change in angle / Time.

  2. 🔴 SI unit of angular velocity = rad/s.

  3. Frequency (ν) = 1 / Time.

  4. 🟠 Frequency and angular velocity both measured in s⁻¹.

  5. Rotational motion concepts use angular velocity & frequency.
