NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
What is the relationship between pressure difference and height in a fluid at rest according to the NCERT context?
Pressure difference is directly proportional to the height difference.
Pressure difference is inversely proportional to the height difference.
Pressure difference does not depend on height.
Pressure difference is constant regardless of the fluid density.
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
The pressure difference in a fluid at rest is given by the formula P2 - P1 = ρgh, indicating that it is directly proportional to the height difference (h) as well as the fluid density (ρ) and gravity (g).
