Answer Key for Three marks
Q.No.
31

Answer
Coulombs law:
The force of attraction or repulsion between two point charges is
directly proportional to the product of the charges and inversely
proportional to the square of the distance between them. The direction of
the force is along the line joining the two point charges.

32

Problem:

Torque :

The maximum torque

33

=pE
= 3.4 X 10 -30 X 2.5 X 10 4
= 8.5 X 10 -26 N m

Resistivity:
The resistance offered to current flow by a conductor of unit length
having unit area of cross section.
The unit of resistivity is m.

34

35

Comparison of emf and potential difference:

Emf

Potential difference

The difference of potentials

between the two terminals of a cell
in an open circuit.
Independent of external resistance
of the circuit.

The difference of potentials

between any two points in a closed
circuit.
Proportional to the resistance
between any two points.

Applications of superconductors:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Used as superconducting generators.

To levitate the trains above its rails.
To launch satellites into orbits without the use of rockets.
To build high efficiency ore-separating machines.
Can be used as transmission lines.
6. Can be used as memory or storage elements in computers.

36

Flemings left hand rule:

The fore finger, the middle finger and the thumb of the left hand are
stretched in mutually perpendicular directions. If the forefinger points in the
direction of the magnetic field, the middle finger points in the direction of
the current, then, the thumb points in the direction of the force on the
conductor.

Answer
Problem:

Induced emf:

Maximum value of the Induced emf E0 = NBA = NBA 2

= 104 X 10-2 X 3.6 X 10-2 X 2 X (7/3)
E0 = 52.75 V

38

Quality factor:
The ratio of the voltage across a coil or a capacitor to the applied
voltage.

39

Optical rotation depends on:

1)
2)
3)
4)

thickness of the crystal

density of the crystal or concentration of the solution
wavelength of the light used
the temperature of the solutions.

40

Problem:

Newtons rings:
rn 2 = nR
The wavelength = rn 2 / nR
= ( 3.6 X 10-3 ) 2 / 3 X 3
= 5400 Ao.

41

Ionization potential:
The accelerating potential which makes the impinging electron
acquire sufficient energy to knock out an electron from the atom and thereby
ionize the atom.

42

Problem: Wavelength calculation :

Answer Key for Three marks

Q.No.
43

Answer
Threshold frequency:
It is the minimum frequency of incident radiation below which the
photoelectric emission is not possible completely, however high the intensity
of incident radiation may be.

44

Curie:
The quantity of radioactive substance which gives 3.7 X 10 10
disintegrations per second or 3.7 X 1010 becquerel. This is equal to the
activity of one gram of radium.

45

Precautions to be taken in radiation laboratories:

1)
2)
3)
4)

46

Radioactive materials are kept in thick-walled lead container.

Lead aprons and lead gloves are used.
All radioactive samples are handled by a remote control process.
A small micro-film badge is always worn.

Methods of doping a semiconductor:

1) The impurity atoms are added to the semiconductor in its molten state.
2) The pure semiconductor is bombarded by ions of impurity atoms.
3) The impurity atoms diffuse into the semiconductor, when the
semiconductor containing them is heated.

47

De-Morgans theorems:
1) The complement of the sum is equal to the product of their
complements.
2) The complement of the product is equal to the sum of their
complements.

48

AND gate using Diodes:

Answer
Problem - Operational amplifier:

Modulation factor:
It is the ratio of the change of amplitude in the carrier wave after
modulation to the amplitude of the unmodulated carrier wave.
(i.e) Modulation factor m = signal amplitude / Carrier amplitude
