Sample Jharkhand Polytechnic (PECE) Practice Questions

Try these sample questions to test your Jharkhand Polytechnic (PECE) exam readiness. Each question includes a detailed explanation. Start the interactive quiz above for the full 100+ question experience with AI tutoring.

1Which of the following is the SI unit of work and energy?
A.Joule
B.Newton
C.Watt
D.Pascal
Explanation: The SI unit of both work and energy is the Joule (J). One Joule is the work done when a force of one Newton displaces an object by one meter.
2For a spherical mirror of radius of curvature R and focal length f, what is the correct relation between them?
A.R = f / 2
B.R = 2f
C.R = f
D.R = 3f
Explanation: For spherical mirrors with small apertures, the radius of curvature (R) is twice the focal length (f). Therefore, R = 2f.
3Which electric device is always connected in series in a circuit to measure the current flowing through it?
A.Voltmeter
B.Galvanometer
C.Ammeter
D.Rheostat
Explanation: An ammeter is used to measure electrical current and must be connected in series. It has very low resistance to minimize its impact on the circuit.
4The twinkling of stars is primarily due to which atmospheric phenomenon?
A.Atmospheric scattering
B.Atmospheric reflection
C.Total internal reflection
D.Atmospheric refraction
Explanation: Twinkling of stars is caused by the atmospheric refraction of starlight. The starlight undergoes continuous refraction as it passes through layers of varying air density.
5What is the approximate speed of light in a vacuum?
A.3 x 10^8 m/s
B.3 x 10^5 m/s
C.3 x 10^6 m/s
D.3 x 10^7 m/s
Explanation: The speed of light in a vacuum is a fundamental constant, approximately equal to 3 x 10^8 meters per second.
6Which of the following physical quantities is a scalar quantity?
A.Velocity
B.Speed
C.Acceleration
D.Displacement
Explanation: Speed is a scalar quantity because it has only magnitude and no specific direction.
7What is the power of a lens with a focal length of +1.0 meter?
A.+0.5 Diopter
B.-1.0 Diopter
C.+1.0 Diopter
D.+2.0 Diopter
Explanation: The power of a lens is the reciprocal of its focal length in meters (P = 1/f). For f = +1.0 m, P = 1 / +1.0 = +1.0 Diopter.
8Which type of mirror is commonly used in car headlights to produce a powerful parallel beam of light?
A.Convex mirror
B.Plane mirror
C.Double convex mirror
D.Concave mirror
Explanation: Concave mirrors are used in car headlights. When a light source is placed at the focus of a concave mirror, the reflected rays travel parallel to each other.
9What is the least distance of distinct vision (near point) for a young adult with normal vision?
A.25 cm
B.2.5 cm
C.2.5 m
D.25 m
Explanation: The near point of a normal human eye is about 25 cm. Objects placed closer than this cannot be seen clearly without straining the eyes.
10Newton's First Law of Motion is also known as which of the following laws?
A.Law of conservation of momentum
B.Law of inertia
C.Law of action and reaction
D.Law of gravitation
Explanation: Newton's First Law states that objects resist changes in their state of motion. This tendency of objects is called inertia.

About the Jharkhand Polytechnic (PECE) Exam

The Jharkhand Polytechnic Entrance Competitive Examination (PECE) is a state-level entrance exam conducted by JCECEB.
