B) The impact time is negligible compared to the time between collisions.
C) The volume of the molecules is small compared to the volume of the gas.
D) The collisions between the molecules and the wall of the container are
inelastic.

5 Which radiation is the best absorbed by greenhouse gases which cause global warming?
A) Infrared
B) Ultraviolet
C) Visible light
D) Radio waves

6 Two capacitors which have the same capacitance can be connected in series and parallel.
Which statement is true about the charge stored for the same d.c voltage supply?
A) The series connection stores an amount of charge twice that of the parallel connection.
B) The parallel connection stores an amount of charge twice that of the series connection.
C) The series connection stores an amount of charge four times that of the parallel
connection.

connection.
 7 Which statement is true of a voltmeter when it is used to measure the potential difference
across an electrical load?
A) The current which flows through the voltmeter is negligible.
B) The same current flows through the load and the voltmeter.
