The correct answer is Meter per second (m/s).

Key Points

• The SI unit for speed is meter per second (m/s), which is the standard unit used in scientific measurements.
• Although speed limits on highways are commonly displayed in kilometers per hour (km/h) or miles per hour (mph) for practical reasons, the fundamental SI unit remains m/s.
• Speed is a measure of the distance traveled per unit of time, and the use of m/s is consistent with the metric system used globally.
• In everyday usage, different countries may prefer km/h or mph depending on regional standards, but m/s is universally accepted for scientific contexts.

Additional Information

• Speed in Different Units:
  • 1 m/s = 3.6 km/h
  • 1 m/s ≈ 2.237 mph

The correct answer is Specific Gravity.

          $\omega =\nu \times 2\pi$

          where, $\nu$ is the frequency.

The correct answer is Henry.

• Henry is the SI unit of mutual inductance.

Key Points

• Mutual Inductance is the interaction of one coil's magnetic field on another coil as it induces a voltage in the adjacent coil.
• It is the basic operating principle of the transformer, motors, generators, and many other electrical components that interact with another magnetic field. 
• The mutual inductance between the two coils can be greatly increased by positioning them on a common soft iron core or by increasing the number of turns.

Additional Information

• Weber is the SI unit of magnetic flux.
• Farad is the SI unit of electrical capacitance.
• Tesla (T) is SI unit of magnetic flux density or magnetic field strength.

The correct answer is Ohm.

• The SI Unit of Impedance(Z), resistance(R), and reactance(X) is Ohm(Ω).
• Reactance is a kind of imaginary resistance offered by electrical components like Capacitance and Inductor.
  • Reactance offered by the Inductor is called Inductive reactance, given as X_L = 2πfL.
  • Reactance offered by the Capacitor is called Capacitor reactance, given as  $X_C=\frac{1}{2\pi fC}$.
  • Where 'f' - frequency of the source, 'L' - Inductance, and 'C' - Capacitance.

Additional Information 

The correct answer is 10-4 microns.

Key Points

Read the question ,it is asking value  in microns not meter.

If asked in meters then the value will be 1 Angstroms  = 10^-10 m.

But asked in microns

• 1 mm = 10^-3 m
• 1 micron = 10^-3 mm
  • ⇒ 1 micron = 10-6 m
• 1 Angstrom = 10^-10 m
  • 1 Angstrom = 10-10 m = 10-10 × 106 micron = 10-4 micron.

Confusion Points

1 Angstrom = 10^-10 meter

1 Angstrom =  10^-4 micron

Additional Information

• An Angstrom is a unit of length used to measure very small distances.
• 1 Angstroms to = 0.0001 Microns 
• It is named after Anders Jonas Ångström (Swedish physicist).
• A micron is one-millionth of a meter (10−6 m) and one Angstrom is 10-4 micron.

Concept:

Power: The rate of work done by the electric energy is called power. It is denoted by P.

• The SI unit of power is the watt (W).
• Watt is a small unit that's why a kilowatt-hour is used as the unit for electrical energy.

1 unit of electric energy: When a one-kilowatt load works for 1 hour then the energy consumed is called 1 unit of electricity.

• 1 Unit of electricity = 1 kWh = 1000 Watt-hour = 3.6 × 106 J
• 1 Kilo-watt = 1000 Watt

1 Watt: The energy consumption rate of 1 joule per second is called 1 watt.

Explanation:

The correct answer is energy.

• The capacity to do work or power consumed in a given time is called energy.
• Power is the rate of doing work or the rate at which energy is spent. 
• Kilowatt-hour is the unit of energy. 

Key Points

• One thousand-watt makes one kilowatt.
• 1 kw hour is equal to 3600 kilojoules.
• For billing units of energy delivered to consumers by electric appliances, this unit is used.
• It is a non-SI metric unit system.
• The one kilowatt of hour sustained for one hour is the composite unit of energy.
• In kilowatt-hours, the electrical energy is typically sold to consumers.
• In terawatt hours, the major energy production or consumption is expressed.
• How much energy is used by us is measured by Kilowatt-hour.

Mistake Points

Energy is the total amount of work done, and power is how fast you can do it. In other words, power is energy per unit of time. Power is watts. Energy is watt-hours.

The correct answer is Columb.

Key Points

• A Coulomb is defined as the amount of electric charge transported by one ampere current in one second from one point to another..
• Columb is used to measure the amount of Electric charge.  
• Electric charge: 
  • Electric charge is a general property of protons, electrons, and subatomic particles.
  • Protons are positively charged while electrons are negatively charged.
  • Similar charges repel each other whereas opposite charges attract each other.

Additional Information

• ​Luminous intensity:
  • Luminous intensity is calculated the weighted power of wavelength, transit by a source of light in any specific direction per unit solid angle.
  • It depends on the luminosity function, a standardized phenomenon of the sensitivity of the human eye.
  • The SI unit of luminous intensity is Candela.
• Volt: 
  • Volt(V) is the unit of Electric voltage or electric potential difference.
  • One Volt is described as the consumption of energy of one joule per electric charge of one coulomb.

The correct answer is Joule.

• Heat is the energy that is transferred from one body to another as the result of a difference in temperature.
• The S.I unit of heat is Joule.
• One joule equals the work done (or energy expended) by a force of one newton acting over a distance of one meter.

Additional Information

• A calorie is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of one gram of water by one degree Celsius.
• A kilocalorie is equal to one thousand calories.
• The erg is equal to 10⁻⁷ joules. It is the unit of energy or work in the cgs system.

Mistake Points

• The unit of heat is joule (J) in SI unit system and calorie is used in BTU system of units. 

The correct answer is " Femto"

Important Points

SI prefixes and symbols:

The correct answer is Kg·m/s2.

Key Points

• The pressure is the perpendicular force acting per unit area.
• SI unit of pressure is Pascal, which is equivalent to 1 N force acting per sq. meter.
• It is given by, P = $\frac{F}{A}$

Additional Information

• Its unit can also be derived from the formula as N/m².
• Kg·m/s2 is the derived unit of force.
• $1Pascal=\frac{F}{A}$ $=\frac{ma}{A}$$=\frac{Kgm/s^2}{m^2}$ = Kg/(m·s2).

Important Points

• Both pressure and stress are given by the same formula i.e. $\frac{F}{A}$.
• The main difference between them is the angle at which the force is applied to a body.
• When the force applied to a body is perpendicular to the area, it is called pressure.
• If the angle is other than 90°, then it is called stress.

Mistake Points

• Kg·m/s2 is the SI unit of force and not of pressure.
• The question asked is about the one which cannot be the unit, since options 2 and 3 are very close, so answer the question patiently.

The correct answer is 66.67.

The correct answer is Lens.

• The power of the lens is expressed in terms of Dioptre.
• The power of the lens is defined as the ability of the lens to converge or diverge the ray of light passing through it.
