- The free electrons inside a metallic conductor are in random motion. Can we detect current in the conductor? No. In random motion, the average velocity is zero. 2
- Why is an ammeter connected in series and a voltmeter in parallel? Ammeter is a low resistance instrument. Hence if ammeter is put in series, it allows the entire current to flow through it and we can measur... 2
- How can you compare the emf of two cells? Using potentiometer we can compare the emf of two cells. 2
- Show that the force on each plate of a parallel plate capacitor has a magnitude equal to \(\frac { 1 }{ 2 }\) QE, where Force = 1 / 2 QE Work done = 1 / 2 V x Q The physical origin of the factor 1 / 2 in the force formula lies in the fact that just outside the... 2
- How can we increase the capacitance of a conductor? By increasing the linear dimension. 2
- How will the applied voltage be divided among the capacitors? In a series combination, the applied voltage divides among the capacitors in inverse proportion to their capacitances: V ∝ 1/C . In series,... 1
- Two copper spheres of radii, one hollow and the other solid are charged to the same potential. Both will hold the same charge No The capacity is small 2
- A point charge of 2.0 pC is at the centre of a cubic Gaussian surface 9.0 cm on edge. Answer: Net flux = q/ε₀ ≈ 0.226\ mathrmN m² C⁻¹ for a 2.0 pC charge. By Gauss's law, the net flux through any closed surface depends only on... 1
- How does the electric field (E) vary with distance (r) in the following cases? (i) Outside ∝ frac 1 r ² , on surface = frac 1 r ² , inside = zero (ii) On the surface = frac 1 r ² , inside ∝ r (iii) Constant, E = fracσ2... 2
- When the balance point is obtained in the potentiometer, a current is drawn from Answer: (C) auxiliary battery only In a potentiometer, the auxiliary battery (driver cell) is connected across the potentiometer wire and ke... 1
- A parallel plate capacitor is charged and then isolated. The effect of increasing the plate separation on charge Answer: (D) Constant, increases, decreases Charge: the capacitor is isolated after charging, so the charge has nowhere to go. Q stays consta... 1
- A parallel plate capacitor has circular plates of radius 8 cm and plate separation 1mm. (A) 1.78 × 10⁻⁸ C 2
- In a double-slit arrangement the slits are separated by a distance equal to 100 times the wavelength Data : d = 100 λ, D = 50.0 cm a) The condition for maximum intensity in Young's experiment is, d sin θ = nλ , n = 0, 1, 2..., The angle betw... 2
- The earth’s field, it is claimed, roughly approximates the field due to a dipole of magnetic moment Let us consider the magnetic field on surface of earth due to assumed bar magnet of dipole moment 8 × 10²² J T⁻¹ located at centre of earth.... 2
- In which direction would a compass free to move in the vertical plane point to, It will point vertically: straight down at the geomagnetic north pole and straight up at the geomagnetic south pole. At the geomagnetic pole... 1
- A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second (d) The tension increases to four times its original value. 2
- Approximately one billion years ago, the Moon orbited the Earth much closer than it does today. (e) 6.39 is the correct option 2
- The second hand on a watch has a length of 4.50 mm and makes one revolution in 60.00 s. (d) 4.71 × 10-4 m/s 2
