Question – 1
1. What would be the work done by a force to stop a car of mass 500 kg moving with a velocity of 24 m/s?
- A. 144000 J
- B. 100000 J
- C. 12000 J
- D. 6000 J
- E. 169000 J

- C. 2.15 X 107
- D. 1.11 X 10-5
- E. 1.81 X 10-8
- Answer:E
- Answer Explanation:Electric lines of forces are nothing but electric flux lines. Electric flux originating from a charge is given as?? = Q/??0——-(1)?? = -(1.6 X 10-19) / (8.85 X 10-12) Or ?? = – 1.81 X 10-8Negative sign signifies that the electric field lines for an electron are inwards rather than outwards. Neglecting the negative sign, number of electric lines of force becomes 1.81 X 10-8. The result suggests that, electric flux for an electron is of a very minute quantity.Hence, E is the correct answer option.
