⇒ (M’)P =
\(\frac{M}{2}\)
⇒ (M’)Q = \(\frac{M}{2}\)

Question 4.
In photoelectric effect experiment, collector plate is made
negative with respect to emitter plate as shown in figure till it reaches a
certain potential V0, when photocurrent is zero.
If K indicates kinetic energy of an emitted photoelectron,
then at point P
(a) K > eV0
(b) K < eV0
(c)
K = eV0
(d) 0 ≤ K ≤ eV0
Answer:
(c) K =
eV0
In the given condition, photocurrent is zero when the stopping potential is
sufficient to repel even the most energetic photoelectrons, with the maximum
kinetic energy K, so that K = eV0.
Thus, at point P (as shown in
the given figure), it can be seen clearly that the electron must have been
repelled, so maximum kinetic energy, K = eV0.
Question 5.
Which of the following statement is incorrect? [1]
(a)
Electromagnetic waves cannot be deflected by any field.
(b) The velocity of
light in a medium is v = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu \varepsilon}}\), thus it depends
on both the electric and magnetic properties of the medium.
(c) The constant
velocity of electromagnetic waves in vacuum is used to define a standard of
time.
(d) The direction of propagation vector k describes the direction of
propagation of the wave.
Answer:
(c) The constant velocity of
electromagnetic waves in vacuum is used to define a standard of time.
The statement in option (c) is incorrect and it can be corrected as,
The
constancy of the velocity of electromagnetic waves in vacuum is used to define a
standard of length. The meter is defined as the distance travelled by light in
vacuum in a time (1/c)second.

\times 10^9 \times\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right)^2}{2 \times 4.7 \times
10^{-11}}\)
= 2.45 × 1018 J = 15.3 eV (∵ 1 eV = 1.6 ×
10-19 J)
Question 7.
Two circular coils can be arranged in any of the three
situations as shown in the figure below. Their mutual inductance will be
[1]
(a) maximum in situation I
(b) maximum in situation II
(c) maximum in situation III
(d) the same in all situations
Answer:
(a)
maximum in situation I
Mutual inductance between two coils depends on their flux linkage, i.e. the fraction of flux linked with one coil which is produced when some current passes through the other coil. In situation (I), two coils have their planes parallel to each other. In this situation, maximum flux passes. Hence, maximum mutual inductance will be in situation (I).
Question 8.
Consider the situation shown in figure below. The capacitor P
has charge q on it, whereas Q is uncharged.

closed, is [1]
(a) zero
(b) q
(c) q/2
(d) 2q
Answer:
(a)
When switch S is closed, there will be no transfer of charge from capacitor P to capacitor Q because the charge -q of P is held by its charge +q.

Magnetic field is given by, B = \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\) |q| \(\frac{(\mathbf{v} \times \mathbf{r})}{\left|r^3\right|} \hat{\mathbf{n}}\)
where \(\hat{\mathbf{n}}\) is the direction of B which is in the direction of cross product of v and r.

(d) The charge to mass ratio satisfy
\(\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)_1\) + \(\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)_2\) = 0
Answer:
(a) They have equal Z-component of momenta.
The charge to mass ratio satisfy by
\(\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)_1\) +
\(\left(\frac{e}{m}\right)_2\) = 0, here, charge/mass ratio of these two
particles are same and charge on them are of opposite nature for traverse
identical helical paths.
For questions 13 to 16 two statements are given-one labelled

Question 14.
Assertion (A) A capacitor is connected to a direct current
source. Its reactance is infinite.
Reason (R) Reactance of a capacitor is
given by XC = \(\frac{1}{\omega C}\). [1]
Answer:
(a) If both A
and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
For DC source, f = 0
XC = \(\frac{1}{\omega C}\) = \(\frac{1}{2
\pi f C}\)
= \(\frac{1}{0}\) = ∞
Question 15.
Assertion (A) The image of a point object situated at the
centre of hemisphere lens is also at the centre.
Reason (R) For hemisphere,
Snell’s law is not valid. [1|
Answer:
(c) If A is true but R is false.
The ray from centre of hemisphere cut at the centre after refraction. Snell’s law is valid in each case of refraction.
16. Assertion (A) Though light of a single frequency (monochromatic) is
incident on a metal, the energies of emitted photoelectrons are different.
Reason (R) The energy of electron emitted from inside the metal surface, is lost
in collision with the other atom in the metal. [11
Answer:
(a) If both A
and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
When a light of single frequency falls on the electrons of inner layer of metal, then this electron comes out of the metal surface after a large number of collision with atom of its upper layer.
Section B
Question 17.
A cell of emf E and internal resistance r is connected across
a variable resistor R as shown below.
(i) Plot a graph showing the variation of terminal potential
V with resistance R. [1]
(ii) Predict from the graph, the condition under
which V becomes equal to E. [1]
Answer:
(i) From the given diagram,
V =
IR = \(\frac{E}{R+r}\) ⋅ R = \(\frac{\frac{E}{\frac{R+r}{R}}\)
V =
\(\frac{E}{1+\frac{r}{R}}\)
When R = 0, V = 0
When R = r, V =
\(\frac{E}{2}\)
When R = ∞, V = E
The plot showing variation of V versus
ft is given below
(ii) From the above graph, it is clear that V becomes equal

electromagnetic radiation of a wavelength shorter than 2480 nm is incident on
it. Find band gap in (eV) for the semiconductor. [2]

Band gap =
Energy of photon at λ = 2480 nm
Question 19.
When a certain photosensitive surface is illuminated with
monochromatic light of frequency f, the stopping potential for the photocurrent
is (\(\frac{V_0}{2}\)) When the surface is illuminated by monochromatic light of
frequency f/2, the stopping potential is -V0. Find the threshold
frequency for photoelectric emission. [2]
Answer:
According to first
condition, hf = ϕ + (\(\frac{V_0}{2}\))e ……….(i)
According to second
condition,
\(\frac{hf}{2}\) = ϕ + V0e ………(ii)
From Eqs. (i) and
(ii), we get
(\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = \(\frac{(hf-\phi)}{\left(\frac{h
f}{2}-\phi\right)}\)
hf0 = (\(\frac{3}{2}\)) hf
⇒ f0
= (\(\frac{3}{2}\)) f
Question 20.
A convex lens is put 10 cm from a light source and it makes a
sharp image on a screen, kept 10 cm from the lens. Now a glass block (refractive
index 1.5) of 1.5 cm thickness is placed in contact with light source. To get
the sharp image again, the screen is shifted by a distance d. Calculate the
distance between screen and slit. [2]
Answer:
Case I
u = -10 cm, v = 10
cm, f =?
Using lens formula, \(\frac{1}{f}\) = \(\frac{1}{v}\) –
\(\frac{1}{u}\)
\(\frac{1}{f}\) = \(\frac{1}{10}\) + \(\frac{1}{10}\) = f = 5
cm
Case II
Due to introduction of slab shift in source
= t[1 –
\(\frac{1}{\mu}\)] = 1.5 [1 – \(\frac{2}{3}\)] = 0.5
Now, u = – 9.5 cm, v =
10.55 cm,
d = 10.55 – 10
d = 0.55 cm away from the lens.
Question 21.
Three light rays, red (R), green (G) and blue (B) are
incident on a right angled prism ABC at face AB. The refractive indices of the
material of the prism for red, green and blue wavelengths are 1.39, 1.44 and
1.47, respectively.
(i) Find the critical condition of refractive index of
prism. [1]
(ii) Out of the three, red colour ray will emerge from AC. Justify
this observation. [1]
Or
Show that a light ray will pass through an equilateral
glass prism (μ = 1.5), if the angle of incidence is greater than 30°. [2]
Answer:
(i) By geometry, angle of incidence (i) at face AC for all three rays
is 45°. As we know, light suffers total internal reflection for which this angle
of incidence is greater than critical angle. i > ic
⇒ sin i
> sin ic
or sin 45° > sin ic
or \(\frac{1}{\sin
45^{\circ}}\) < \(\frac{1}{\sin i_C}\) ⇒ μ > √2 or 1.414 [∵ sin
ic = 1/μ]
(ii) Since, total internal reflection takes place on face AC for rays with μ > √2 = 1.414. Hdnce, green and blue colours suffers total internal reflection whereas red undergoes refraction. Thus, out of three only red colour ray will emerge from AC.
Or
From Snell’s law, μ = \(\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}\)
If the light is incident
at 30°, then
sin r = \(\frac{\sin i}{\mu}\) = \(\frac{\sin
30^{\circ}}{1.5}\)
= \(\frac{0.5}{1.5}\) = 0.33
⇒ r =
sin-1(0.33) = 19°
Angle of incidence at second face,
i’ = A –
r
= 60°- 19° = 41°
which is just less than the critical angle 42° for
glass-air interface. If i < 30°, then r’ > ic and the ray will
suffer total internal reflection at the second face and will not emerge through
the prism.
Section C
Question 22.
Two point charges 3.4μ C and -2.0μ C are placed 5.0 cm apart
on X-axis. At what points on X-axis, electric potential is zero? [3]
Answer:
There are two possible locations where potential can be zero. Now, as
potential due to positive charge is positive and due to negative charge is
negative and we can use
Solving these equations, we get
x1 = 1.852 cm
and x2 = 7.143 cm
So, there are 2 locations where potential is
zero.
Question 23.
Consider a uniform electric field E =3 × 103
\(\hat{\mathbf{i}}\) NC-1.
(i) What is the flux of this field
through a square of 10 cm on a side whose plane is parallel to the YZ-plane?
[2]
(ii) What is the flux through the same square, if the normal to its plane
makes a 60° angle with the X-axis? [1]
Answer:
(i) Area of square, A = a²
= 10² = 100 cm²
= 100 × 10-4 m²
Now, A =(10²
\(\hat{\mathbf{i}}\))m²
Electric flux through the square,
ϕ = EA cosθ = (3
× 10³ \(\hat{\mathbf{i}}\)) ⋅ (10-2 \(\hat{\mathbf{i}}\)) = 3 ×
101
ϕ = 30 N-m²C-1
(ii) When normal to plane i.e. A makes angle 60° with E
ϕ’ = EA cos
60°
= 3 × 103 × 10-2 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 15
N-m²C-1

(ii) Given,
Question 25.
In a discharge tube, the number of hydrogen ions drifting
across a cross-section per second is 10 × 1018, while the number of
electron drifting in opposite direction across another cross-section is 2.7 ×
1018 per second. If the supply voltage is 230 V, what is the
effective resistance of the tube? [3]
Answer:
Total current is sum of
current due to electron and current due to protons.
Question 26.
(i) State Biot-Savart law. [2]
(ii) A long straight wire
carries a current of 35 A. What is the magnitude of the field B at a point 20 cm
from the wire? [1]
Answer:
(i) Biot-Savart law states that the magnetic
field due to a tiny current element at any point is directly proportional to the
length of current element, the current, the sine of angle between the direction
of current element and the point and inversely proportional to the square of
distance between them.
dB = \(\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\) × \(\frac{I d / \sin
\theta}{r^2}\)
(ii) Magnetic field due to a long straight wire,
B = \(\frac{\mu_0}{4
\pi}\) × \(\frac{2l}{r}\) = B = 10-7 × \(\frac{2 \times 35}{20 \times
10^{-2}}\)
⇒ B = 3.5 × 10-5 T
Question 27.
A plane electromagnetic wave of frequency 25 MHz travels in
free space along the x-direction. At a particular point in space and time, E =
6.3 \(\hat{j}\) V/m. What is B at this point?
Answer:
The magnitude of B
is
B = \(\frac{E}{c}\) = \(\frac{6.3 \mathrm{~V} / \mathrm{m}}{3 \times 10^8
\mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}}\) = 2.1 × 10-8 T
To find the direction,
we note that E is along Y-direction and the wave propagates along X-axis.
Therefore, B should be in a perpendicular to both X and Y-axes.
Thus, B =
22.1 × 10-8 \(\hat{j}\) T
Question 28.
Use Lenz’s law to determine the direction of induced current
in the situations described by figure.
(i) A wire of irregular shape turning
into a circular shape.
(ii) A circular loop being deformed into a narrow
straight wire. [3]
Or
A metallic rod of length l is moved perpendicular to
its length with velocity v in a magnetic field B acting perpendicular to the
plane in which rod moves. Derive the expression for the induced emf. [3]
Answer:
(i) Here, the direction of magnetic field is perpendicularly inwards
to the plane of paper.
If a wire of irregular shape turns into a circular
shape, then its area increases (therefore the circular loop has greater area
than the loop of irregular shape), so that the magnetic flux linked also
increases. Now, the induced current is produced in a direction such that it
decreases the magnetic field, i.e. the current will flow in such a direction, so
that the wire forming the loop is pulled inward in all directions (to decrease
the area), i.e. current is in anti-clockwise direction, i.e. along adcba.
(ii) When a circular loop deforms into a narrow straight wire, the magnetic flux linked with it also decreases. The current induced due to change in flux will flow in such a direction that it will oppose the decrease in magnetic flux, so it will flow anti-clockwise, i.e. along adcba due to which the magnetic field produced will be out of the plane of paper.
Or
Consider a uniform magnetic field B confined to the region ABCD and a coil
PQRS is placed inside the magnetic field. At any time t, the part P’Q – S’R = y
of the coil is inside the magnetic field. Let l be the length of the arm of the
coil.
Area of the coil inside the magnetic field at time t,
∆S
=QR × RS’ = ly
Magnetic flux linked with the coil at any time t,
ϕ = B∆S =
Bly
The rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the coil is given by
\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) = \(\frac{d}{dt}\) (Bly)
= Bl \(\frac{d y}{d t}\) =
Blv
where, v is the velocity with which the coil is pulled out of the
magnetic field.
If e is the induced emf, then according to Faraday’s law,
e = \(-\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) or e = -Blv

qA = 2.5 × 10-7C and qB = -2.5 ×
10-7C located at points A (0,0,-15)cm and B (0,0,+15) cm,
respectively. Find
(a) the electric dipole moment of the system and
(b)
the magnitude of the torque acting on it, when it is placed in a uniform
electric field 5 × 104 NC× 10-1, making an angle of 30°,
with the Z-axis. [2]
Answer:
(i) Consider an electric dipole AB which
consists of two point charges +q and -q, separated by a distance 2a. It is
placed in a uniform electric field E, making an angle θ.
Force acting on charge +q,
F1 = qE [along the
direction of E ]
Force acting on charge -q,
F2 = qE [opposite
to the direction of E]
Forces F1, and F2 are equal in
magnitude and opposite in direction having different lines of action of force.
Therefore, it forms a couple of force. Torque acting on dipole = Force ×
Perpendicular distance between the forces
τ = qE × AC
From ∆ACB, sinθ =
AC/AB
or AC = AB sinθ or AC = 2a sinθ
∴ τ = qE × 2a sinθ
But q × 2a = p
[electric dipole moment]
∴ τ = pE sinθ or τ = p × E
(ii) (a) Here, charges, |qA| = |qB| = 2.5 ×
10-7 C
Length of dipole = 2a = 30 cm = 0.30 m
∴ Electric dipole
moment (p) = q (2a)
= 2.5 × 10-7 × 0.30 =7.5 × 10-8
C-m
This dipole moment p is along the negative Z-axis.
(b) Given, uniform electric field, E = 5 × 104 NC×
10-1
Angle, θ = 30°
∴ Torque acting on electric dipole,
τ =
pE sinθ = 7.5 × 1O-8 × 5 × 104 × sin30°
= 37.5 × 10-4 × 1/2
=
18.75 × 10-4
= 1.88 × 10-3 N-m

A capacitor of capacitance C is charged fully by connecting it to a battery
of emf E. It is then disconnected from the battery. If the separation between
the plates of the capacitor is now doubled, what will happen to [5]
(i)
capacitance of the capacitor?
(ii) charge stored by the capacitor?
(iii)
potential difference across it?
(iv) field strength between the plates?
(v) energy stored by the capacitor?
Sol.
(i) Capacitance of the
capacitor,
C = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ⇒ C ∝ \(\frac{1}{d}\)
When separation
between the plates is doubled, the capacitance is reduced to half of its initial
value.
(ii) Charge stored by the capacitor would remain unchanged.
(iii)
Potential difference between the plates, V = q/C
As, capacitance of the
capacitor (C = K Aε0/d) reduces to half, hence potential difference
between the plates becomes twice of the initial value, i.e. 2 V.
(iv) Field
strength between the plates, E = V/d
E = \(\frac{2V}{2d}\) =
\(\frac{V}{d}\)
Thus, it remains same as E.
(v) Energy stored by the
capacitor, U = \(\frac{1}{2}\)\(\frac{q^2}{C}\)
As, capacitance reduces to
half and charge remains same, hence energy stored would be doubled.
Question 32.
(i) Using the data given below, state which two of the given
lenses will you prefer to construct a best possible [3]
(a) telescope and
(b) compound microscope.
Also, indicate which of the selected lenses is to be
used as an objective and as an eyepiece in each case.
(ii) You are given two converging lenses of focal length 1.25
cm and 5 cm to design a compound microscope. If it is desired to have a
magnification of 30, then find out the separation between the objective and
eyepiece. [2]
Answer:
Or
(i) With the help of a ray diagram, show the formation of image of a point
object by refraction of light at a spherical surface separating two media of
refractive indices n1 and n2(n2 >
n1), respectively. [3]
(a) Using a diagram, derive the
relation
\(\frac{n_2}{v}\) – \(\frac{n_1}{u}\) = \(\frac{n_2-n_1}{R}\)
(b)
Write the sign conventions used.
(ii) An unsymmetrical double convex thin
lens forms the image of a point object on its axis. Will the position of the
image change, if the lens is reversed? [2]
Answer:
(i) Power of lens, P =
\(\frac{1}{\text { Focal length, } f \text { (in } \mathrm{m})}\)
⇒ f = 1/ P
or f(in cm) = 100/P
∴ Focal lengths of three lenses are as follows
f1 =16.67 cm, f2 = 33.33 cm and f3 = 10 cm
(a) For telescope: Objective should be of large aperture and large focal
length, so lens L2 is fit for objective. Eyepiece should be of small
aperture and small focal length, so lens L3 is fit for making
eyepiece.
(b) For compound microscope: Objective must be of small aperture
and small focal length and therefore, lens L3 can be used for
objective.
Eyepiece must be of small aperture and larger focal length as
compare to objective. Thus, lens L1 is fit for making eyepiece.
(ii) Given, f0 = 125 cm, fe = -5cm Magnification, m =
30, D = 25 cm
If the object is very close to the principal focus of the
objective and the image formed by the objective is very close to eyepiece, then
magnifying power of a microscope is given by
m = –\(\frac{L}{f_0}\) .
\(\frac{D}{f_e}\)
⇒ 30 = \(\frac{L}{125}\) . \(\frac{25}{5}\)
⇒ L =
\(\frac{125×30×5}{25×100}\)
⇒ L = \(\frac{25×30}{100}\) ⇒ L =
\(\frac{30}{4}\)
⇒ L = 7.5 cm
This is a required separation between the
objective and the eyepiece.
Or
(i) (a) Let a point object O be placed at a distance u from the pole in a
medium of refractive index n1 outside the spherical refracting
surface of radius of curvature R. Its real image I is formed at a distance v in
denser medium of refractive index n2. Here, angle of incidence is i
and angle of refraction is r.
Draw a normal AN on principal axis.
Let ∠AOC = α, ∠AIC =
ß,
∠ACO = γ
For ∆AOC,i is the exterior angle
i = α + γ ……..(i)
For
∆AIC, γ is the exterior angle
.-. γ = r + ß or r = γ – ß ……(ii)
According
to the Snell’s law, \(\frac{n_2}{n_1}\) = \(\frac{\sin i}{\sin r}\)
When
angles i and r are very small, then sin i = i and sin r = r
\(\frac{n_2}{n_1}\) = \(\frac{i}{r}\)
Substituting the values of / and r from
Eqs. (I) and (ii), we get
n1(α + γ) = n2(γ – ß) …..(iii)
If the aperture
of the spherical surface is small, then angles α, ß and γ will be small and
point N will lie near to pole P.
(b) Sign convention: The distance measured from pole in the direction of
propagation of light rays are taken positive and distances measured from pole in
opposite direction of propagation of light rays are taken negative.
Heights
measured above the principal axis are taken positive and that below the
principal axis are taken as negative.
(ii) No, it is because in lens Maker’s formula,
\(\frac{1}{v}\) –
\(\frac{1}{u}\) = \(\frac{1}{f}\) = (μ – 1)[\(\frac{1}{R_1}\) –
\(\frac{1}{R_2}\)]
= -(μ – 1)[\(\frac{1}{R_2}\) – \(\frac{1}{R_1}\)]
i.e.
On reversing the lens, values and signs of R1 and R2 get
reversed. Thus, for a given position of object (u), position of image (v)
remains unchanged.
Question 33.
(i) An AC voltage V = Vm sin ωt is applied across
an inductor of inductance L. Find the instantaneous power Pi supplied
to the inductor. Show graphically the variation of Pi with ωt.
[2]
(ii) Three electrical circuits having AC sources of variable frequency
are shown in the figures. Initially, the current flowing in each of these is
same. If the frequency of the applied AC source is increased, how will the
current flowing in these circuits be affected? [3]
Give the reason for your
answer.
(i) Resonance frequency of a circuit is v. If the capacitance
is made 4 times the initial value, find the change in the resonance frequency.
[1]
(ii) A 100 Ω resistor is connected to 220 V, 50 Hz supply.
(a) What is
rms value of current in the circuit? [1]
(b) What is the net power consumed
over a full cycle? [1]
(iii) A 2 μ F capacitor, 100 Ω resistor and 8 H
inductor are connected in series with an AC source. [2]
(a) What should be
the frequency of the source such that current drawn in the circuit is maximum?
What is this frequency called?
(b) If the peak value of emf of the source is
200 V, find the maximum current.
Answer:
(i) In an inductor, the current
lags the voltage by 90°. If the source voltage is sinusoidal, then the current
is also sinusoidal, but shifted in phase. The instantaneous power defined as the
product of the instantaneous voltage and current can also be seen to be
sinusoidal in time. However, in contrast to the resistive load, the
instantaneous power in the inductor goes negative for part of the cycle of the
source driving it.
As, V(t) = Vm sin ωt
I(t) = -Im
cos ωt
The instantaneous power alternates positive and negative at twice the frequency
of source supplying it.
(ii) Let initially, Ir be current flowing in all the three
circuits. If frequency of applied AC source is increased, then the change in
current will occur in following manner.
(a) AC circuit containing resistance
only
There is no effect on current with the increase in
frequency.
(b) AC circuit containing inductance only: With the increase of frequency of
AC source, inductive reactance increases as
XL = ωL= 2πvL
I =
\(\frac{V_{\mathrm{rms}}}{X_L}\) = \(\frac{V_{\mathrm{rms}}}{2 \pi v L}\)
For
given circuit, I ∝ \(\frac{1}{v}\)
Current decreases with the increase in
frequency.
(C) AC circuit containing capacitor only
XC = \(\frac{1}{\omega
C}\)= \(\frac{1}{2πvC}\)
I = \(\frac{V_{\mathrm{rms}}}{X_C}\) =
\(\frac{V_{\mathrm{rms}}}{\left(\frac{1}{2 \pi v C}\right)}\),
I =
2πvCVrms
For given circuit, I ∝ v
Current increases with the
increase in frequency.
Or
(i) As, resonance frequency,
(ii)
(a) Given, R = 100 Ω, Erms = 220V, v = 50
Hz.
rms value of current, Irms = \(\frac{E_rms}{R}\)
⇒
Irms = \(\frac{220}{100}\) =22 A
(b) Net power consumed,
Pav = Erms Irms =
220 × 2.2 = 484 W
(iii) (a) Given, capacitance,C =2 μF = 2 × 10-6F
Resistance, R
= 100 Ω
Inductance, L = 8 H
Peak value of voltage, E0 = 200
V
When frequency of AC source is equal to resonant frequency, then current
drawn in the circuit is maximum.
(b) ∴ I0 = \(\frac{E_0}{R}\) = \(\frac{200}{100}\) = 2 A
