------------------


6. The property of a body to attain its original position after the removal of force is called




... Answer is C. Elasticity
--------------------


7. Which one of the following is without any dimension and unit? :




... Answer is B. Strain
It is the ratio of the same quantity ie. Longitudinal Strain ε = `\frac {ΔL}{L}` and Volumetric Strain = `\frac {ΔV}{V}`


8. Modulus of elasticity is dimensionally equal to

... Answer is B. Plastic
------------------


12. A body that breaks down just crossing the elastic limit is known as




... Answer is D. Brittle
-------------------


13. Which one of the following substances is very strong in compression?




    ... Answer is B. Brittle
    ------------------


    14.  Resistivity range of insulators is between




    ... Answer is D. 10¹¹ Ω m and 10¹⁹ Ω m
    -------------


    15. The order of the conductivity of the conductors is




    ... Answer is A. 10² (Ω m)⁻¹ and 10⁸ (Ω m)⁻¹
    -----------------


    16.. Which one of the following substances has a partially filled valence band?




    ... Answer is B. Conductor
    In a conductor, the valance band is partially filled and overlaps with empty conduction band


    17. The forbidden energy gap between valance and conduction bands in semiconductors is upto :




    ... Answer is A. 1eV
    ----------------


    18. When the temperature is increased, the conduction in the semiconductor material is




    ... Answer is B. Increase
    Semiconductor are conducting more at a higher temperatures


    19. Which one of the following does not exhibit superconductivity?




    ... Answer is B. Copper
    Copper is best conductor at room temperature


    20. Which one of the following is not a magnetic substance?




    ... Answer is C. Brass
    Brass is an alloy of zinc and copper, both are non-magnetic, so brass is non-magnetic


    21. Which substance has relative permeability of less than 1?




    ... Answer is A. Diamagnetic
    --------------------------


    22. When diamagnetic material is placed in an external magnetic field, the direction of field induced in the material is




    ... Answer is B. Opposite to the direction external field
    When diamagnetic material is placed in an applied external magnetic field H, a weak magnetic field B is induced in it. Which is not only less in magnitude but also in the opposite direction to that of the eternal magnetic field.


    23. The relative permeability of iron is




    ... Answer is D. 10⁴
    ---------------------------


    24. Which substance shows a strong magnetic moment due to the cooperation of its atoms with each other?




    ... Answer is C. Ferromagnetic
    --------------------------------


    25.  The temperature at which the ferromagnetic substance becomes a paramagnetic substance is known as




    ... Answer is B. Curie temperature
    By Definition



26. When the area of the hysteresis loop is small, energy dissipation is




... Answer is A. Small
------------------------------


27. Which states of matter are compressible and have the ability to flow: :




... Answer is C. both (A) and (B)
Liquid and Gas are compressible and have the ability to flow.


28. Which solid has the highest electrical conductivity in all metals:




... Answer is A. Silver
Silver has the highest electrical conductivity of all metals. On a scale of 0 to 100, silver ranks are 100, copper at 97, and gold at 76.


29. Which state of matter is often termed as the fourth state of matter :




... Answer is B. Plasma
Plasma is often termed as the fourth state of matter


30. On the bases of the distribution of atoms or molecules (ie. with respect to structure) solids can be classified into how many classes:
