What is the Lorentz force experienced by a charged particle moving in a magnetic field?
The force due to gravity on the particle
The force due to an electric field only
The combined force due to electric and magnetic fields
The force due to the particle's mass
A charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field. What is the direction of the Lorentz force?
Parallel to the magnetic field
Perpendicular to both the velocity and magnetic field
In the direction of the particle’s velocity
Opposite to the magnetic field
What happens to the Lorentz force if the angle between the velocity of a charged particle and the magnetic field is 0°?
The force is maximum
The force is zero
The force is doubled
The force depends on the electric field only
What does the permeability of a material describe?
Its ability to conduct electric current
Its ability to support the formation of a magnetic field
Its ability to store electric charge
Its resistance to electric fields
What is the unit of permittivity in the SI system?
Henry per meter (H/m)
Farad per meter (F/m)
Tesla (T)
Ohm-meter (Ω·m)
In free space, the permeability (μ₀) and permittivity (ε₀) are related to the speed of light (c) by which equation?
c = μ₀ε₀
c = 1 / √(μ₀ε₀)
c = μ₀ / ε₀
c = √(μ₀ / ε₀)
If a material has a relative permittivity (εᵣ) greater than 1, what does this indicate?
The material is a perfect conductor
The material enhances the electric field compared to free space
The material has no effect on the electric field
The material blocks the electric field completely
What formula is used to calculate the real power consumed by a household appliance with voltage V, current I, and power factor (pf)?
P = V × I
P = V × I × pf
P = V / I
P = V² / I
A house has a total power consumption of 5 kW and operates at 230 V (single-phase). What is the approximate current drawn, assuming a power factor of 0.9?
15.2 A
24.2 A
19.6 A
30.5 A
What is the primary reason for calculating the total power consumption of a house?
To determine the color of the wiring
To size the electrical service and ensure safe operation
To calculate the house’s temperature
To reduce the voltage supply
