MCQ
If M is atomic weight, A is mass number then $\frac{\text{M - A}}{\text{A}}$ represents:
- AMass defect
- BPacking fraction
- CBinding energy
- DChain reaction
✓
Answer
- Packing fraction
Explanation:
Packing fraction is the mass defect per nucleon i.e. elementary particle in the nucleus. The difference between atomic weight and mass number i.e. mass of elementary particle in the nucleus is known as mass defect. Hence,
$\text{p}=\frac{\Delta\text{m}}{\text{A}}$
$\text{p}=\frac{\text{M - A}}{\text{A}}$

An electric dipole is placed at an angle of 30° to a non-uniform electric field. The dipole will experience:
Two projectiles A and B are projected with angle of projection 15° for the projectile A and 45° for the projectile B. If RA and RB be the horizontal range for the two projectiles, then:
- RA < RB
- RA = RB
- RA > RB
- The information is insufficient to decide the relation of RA with RB.
