Vector basics
1. Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
- A. temperature
- B. force
- C. velocity
- D. displacement
View answer and explanation
Answer: A. temperature
A scalar has magnitude only. Temperature, mass, time, energy and work are scalars. Displacement, force and velocity each need a direction — they are vectors. The exam trap is ‘work is a vector because the product is a scalar.
Waves
2. Two points on a progressive wave are /2 apart along the travel direction. Their phase difference is:
- A.
- B.
- C.
- D. 0
View answer and explanation
Answer: C.
= (2 . Put /2 and you get — opposite phase, a crest facing a trough. 2 would be a full wavelength. 0 would be the same point, or a whole number of . /2 is a quarter-wave.
Lenz's law
3. You push a magnet toward an open coil (gap in the winding). Compared with a closed coil, the resisting force is:
- A. larger, because emf is larger
- B. the same, because Faraday does not care about the gap
- C. infinite
- D. much smaller, because there is almost no induced current to fight you
View answer and explanation
Answer: D. much smaller, because there is almost no induced current to fight you
Lenz's force is the current's field pushing back. Open circuit: is still there, I ≈ 0, so almost no opposition. That is why the energy argument needs a closed path.

Common questions about Physics Labs & Interactive Simulations practice
How many Physics Labs & Interactive Simulations MCQs are available on DIFF. MDCAT?
The current Physics Labs & Interactive Simulations question bank contains 640 practice MCQs across 2 topics. This is the bank size, not the length of one test. Choose your topics and a question count from 1 to 180, limited by the questions available in those topics.
Which topics does the Physics Labs & Interactive Simulations quiz cover?
The selectable topics are Physics Interactive Labs, Visual Simulations. Use Select all for a broad chapter drill, Clear to start a focused selection, or choose individual topics. Questions are drawn from your chosen topics, so you can target a weak concept before returning to a wider test.
How do I build a custom Physics Labs & Interactive Simulations test?
Open the chapter builder, select one or more topics, enter your question count, and choose Tutor Mode or Timed Exam. The available-question total updates with your selection. Start Test generates a shuffled drill; you do not have to follow a fixed Quiz 1 or Quiz 2 sequence.
What is the difference between Tutor Mode and Timed Exam?
Tutor Mode gives feedback and an explanation after you choose an option, and you can change or clear that choice. Timed Exam runs a countdown and keeps explanations hidden until submission. Both modes let you move between questions, use the paper map, and submit for a complete review.
How do I review and download my Physics Labs & Interactive Simulations quiz?
Select Submit Quiz, then Submit & View Explanations. The review includes every question in your test, all options, your selection, the marked correct answer when a key is available, and the explanation. Download PDF saves a paginated review; Download Review saves an HTML copy you can open in a browser. The review also includes DIFF. MDCAT community links.
How should I use Physics Labs & Interactive Simulations MCQs to improve?
Start with a short tutor drill on one of these topics: Physics Interactive Labs, Visual Simulations. Read the explanation for incorrect and uncertain answers, revise the relevant textbook section, and retry before taking a timed drill. Compare your reasoning with the answer key rather than memorising the option letter.
