Question 10
An object A of mass 40 kg at 60
0
C has internal energy of 4000 J. If it is kept in contact with
another object B of mass 40 kg at 65
0
C having internal energy 4500 J, then which of the
following statements is true regarding heat transfer? (Assume boundary of contact can allow
heat transfer to take place)
A. Heat will flow from A to B
B. Heat will flow from B to A
C. No heat will flow between the objects A and B
D. Temperature of A decreases
E. Temperature of B increases
Correct Answer: B
Heat always flows from a hot body to a cooler body. In other words, heat flows from a body at a
higher temperature to a body at a lower temperature. If an object A, at 60
0
C is kept in contact with
another object B, at 65
0
C, then this means that object A is at lower temperature than that of object B.
Hence, heat will flow from B to A. Also, as the heat is transferred from B to A, temperature of B will
reduce but temperature of A will increase to reach thermal equilibrium. Thus, B is the correct answer
option and A, C, D and E are incorrect answer options.
Question 11
How many electronic charges comprise a coulomb of charge?
A. 6 × 10
18
B. 10
18
C. 2 × 10
18
D. 2 × 10
19
E. 5 × 10
15
Correct Answer: A
Explanation:
Charge is given as
Q = ne --------------- (1)
Where
Q is one coulomb of charge;
n is the number of electronic charges;
e is the charge on electron = 1.6 * 10
-19
C;
Putting the values in equation 1 we get
1 = n * 1.6 * 10
-19
Or, n = 6.25 * 10
18
Since n is a number therefore number of electronic charges that make one coulomb of charge is 6 *
10
18
. Therefore, A is the correct answer option
