OBJECTIVE Type Questions
1. One metallic sphere A is given positive charge
whereas another identical metallic sphere 8 of
exactly same mass as of Ais given equal
amount of negative charge. Then,
(a) mass of A and mass of B still remain equal
(b) mass of A increases
(c) mass of B decreases
(d) mass of B increases
2. Ingeneral, metallic ropes are suspended from
the carriers to the ground which take
inflammable material. The reason is
\@) their speed is controlled
(b) to keep the gravity of the carrier nearer to the
earth
(c) to keep the body of the carrier in contact with the
earth
(@) nothing should be placed under the carriera

It is now beliewed that protons and
neutrons (which constitute nuclei of
ordinary matter) are themselves built our
of more elementary units called quarks.
A proton and a neutron consist of three
quarks each, Two types of quarks, so called
‘up’ quark (denoted by 4) of charge + (3) e
and the ‘down! quark (denoted by d) of
1
charge C E)+. cogether with electrons
build up ordinary matter. (Other types of
quark have also been found which give rise
to different unusual varieties of matter).NUMERICAL PROBLEMS
