  • Question 1
    5 / -1

    A capacitor of capacitance 5μF is charged to a potential difference of 20V. After that, it is connected across an inductor of inductance 0.5 mH. What is the current flowing in the circuit at a time when the potential difference across the capacitor is 10 V?

    Solution

    Given: V2 = 10 V; V1 = 20 V; C = 5 μF; Inductance (I) = 0.5 mH

    Initial charge on the capacitor (q1) = C × V1 = 5 × 10-6 × 20 ……………….1

    q1 = 10-4 C …………..B

    The instantaneous charge on the capacitor as the capacitor discharges through the inductor ⇒ q2

    q2 = q1cos (ωt) ⇒ q2/q1 = cos (ωt) ………………..A

    Also, q2 = C × V2 = 5 × 10-6 × 10 …………………….2

    q2 = 0.5 × 10-4 C

    From 1 and 2 ⇒ q2/q= V2/ V1 ⇒ q2/q1 = 0.5 = 1/2

    From equation A, we can equate as follows ⇒ cos (ωt) = 1/2

    ωt = π/3 rad ………………..3

    ω=20000rad/s …………………….4

    The current through the circuit is given as:

    Current (I)=-dq/dt

    Current: I = -dq/dt = q1ωsin(ωt) = 10⁻⁴ × 20,000 × sin(π/3) = 2 × 0.866 = 1.732 A

    Charge decreases with respect to time, so, dq/dt obtained will be negative and this is why we add a negative sign to make a curren

     

  • Question 2
    5 / -1

    A circuit element 'X' when connected to peak voltage of 200 V, a peak current of 5A flows which lags behind the voltage by π/2. A circuit element Y when connected to same peak voltage, same peak current flows which is in phase with the voltage. Now X and Y are connected in series with same peak voltage. The rms value of current through the circuit will be:

    Solution

    Calculation:

    Let Voltage V = VmSin(wt)

    V = 200Sin(wt)

    When connected to "X",

    The current flowing lags "V" by π/2

    I = 5Sin(wt - π/2)

    Since the current lags "V" by π/2, the element "X" would be the inductor.

    Then reactance "X" would be = 200/5 = 40 ohm

    The reactance "X" = 40j.

    When connected to "Y" , the current 5 A is in phase with the voltage.

    So, the "Y" will be a resistor.

    Resistance "Y" = 200/5 = 40 ohm.

    The "X" and "Y" are connected in series to the same applied voltage.

    The net impedance would be = 40 + 40j

    The current I' flowing, when connected in series, will be,

     

  • Question 3
    5 / -1

    The radius of curvature of the curved surface of a plano-convex lens is 20 cm. If the refractive index of the material of the lens be 1.5, then focal length of lens will be:

    Solution

    Concept:

    • For a plano-convex lens, one of the surfaces is flat (Plano) and the other is curved (convex).
    • The radius of curvature of the curved surface is given as 20 cm, and the refractive index of the material of the lens is 1.5.
    • The focal length of the lens can be calculated using the lens maker's formula:

    1/f = (n - 1) × (1/R1 - 1/R2)

    where

    f is the focal length of the lens,

    n is the refractive index of the lens material,

    R1 is the radius of curvature of the first surface (the flat surface in this case, which is infinite), and

    R2 is the radius of curvature of the second surface (the curved surface in this case).

    Since the first surface is flat, the radius of curvature R1 is infinite, and the term (1/R1) becomes zero. Therefore, the lens maker's formula simplifies to:

    1/f = (n - 1) × (1/R2)------(1)

    Calculation:

    Substituting the values in equation (1), we get:

    1/f = (1.5 - 1) × (1/20)

    1/f = 0.025

    f = 1/0.025

    f = 40 cm

    Therefore, the focal length of the plano-convex lens is 40 cm.

    The correct answer is option (4)

     

  • Question 4
    5 / -1

    A boy of height 1 m stands infront of a convex mirror. His distance from the mirror is equal to the focal length of the mirror, the height of the image is :

    Solution

    Concept:

    The height of the image formed by a convex mirror can be calculated using the mirror formula:

    1/f = 1/v + 1/u

    where

    is the focal length of the mirror,

    is the distance of the image from the mirror, and

    is the distance of the object from the mirror.

    Calculation:

    In this case, the object distance u is equal to the focal length f, so we can simplify the formula to:

    1/f = 1/v + 1/f ----(1)

    From sign convention u = -f

    Putting u = -f in equation (1), we get,

    v = f/2

    This means that the image is formed at a distance of half the focal length from the mirror.

    Now, to find the height of the image, we can use the magnification formula:

    m = -v/u

    where m is the magnification of the image. Since the image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual and upright, the magnification is negative.

    Substituting the values of v and u, we get:

    m = -f/2f = -1/2

    This means that the image is half the size of the object, and since the object is 1 meter tall, the height of the image will be:

    Height of image = m * height of object = (-1/2) * 1m = -0.5m

    Therefore, the height of the image is 0.5 meters or 50 centimeters.

    The correct answer is option (4)

     

  • Question 5
    5 / -1

    What will be the wavelength of electrons if its accelerated by potential difference of 2 V

    Solution

    CONCEPT:

    Dual nature of matter:

    • According to de Broglie, the matter has a dual nature of wave-particle.
    • The wave associated with each moving particle is called matter waves.
    • ​​de Broglie wavelength associated with the particle

    Where, h = Planck's constant, m = mass of a particle and v = velocity of a particle

    Work-Energy Theorem:

    • The work-energy theorem states that the net work done by the forces on an object is equal to the change in its kinetic energy.

    ​⇒ W = ΔKE

    Where W = work done and ΔKE = change in kinetic energy

    CALCULATION:

    Given V = 2 volt, charge of an electron e = 1.6×10-19 C and m = 9.1×10-31 kg

    • We know that if a charge of e coulombs is moved through a potential difference of V volts then the work done is given as,

    ⇒ W = eV -----(1)

    By work-energy theorem, the work done in accelerating an electron through the electric field will be equal to the kinetic energy of the electron,

     

  • Question 6
    5 / -1

    A charge of 0.2 C moves with a velocity  in a uniform magnetic field of B = 5 k̂T. What is the magnetic force experienced by the charge?

    Solution

    Concept:

    Uniform Magnetic Field:

    • A uniform magnetic field is a magnetic field that has the same magnitude and direction throughout the region under consideration, thus the field lines need to be both parallel and spaced out evenly.
    • It is symbolled as B.
    • It is a vector quantity.

    Solution

     

  • Question 8
    5 / -1

    Which of the following is true about equipotential lines?

    Solution

    Electric field lines show the direction of the electric field at the point. If the electric field lines were tangential, parallel, or opposite to the equipotential surface, a tangential field will exist on the surface and work done in moving a charge on the surface is not zero.

    Therefore electric field lines are always perpendicular to the equipotential surface.

    Solution

    Given, the maximum kinetic energy: Kmax​=4eV

    If V0​ be the stopping potential, then Kmax​=eV0

    ⇒eV0​=4eV 

    ⇒V0​=4V
