CHAPTER # 12
Q#1

The potential is constant throughout a given region of space .is the

electric field is zero or non zero in this region?
Ans#1:

Electric field E and potential difference are related by equation,

E =- v/ r
When the potential is taken as constant which means v= constant then the
potential difference becomes zero v=0 so,
E =0/r
E=0
This relation tells that electric field is zero in a region of where the potential is
constant
Q#2:

Suppose that you follow an electric field line due to a positive point
charge .do electric field and the potential increases or decreases?
Ans#2:

Relation for the electric field and and electric potential are
E= 1/4 0 x q/r2
and
v=1/4 0 x q/ r
this gives for same charge

E 1/ r2
V 1/ r
When we follow electric field line due to positive charge, distance from
positive charge increases which cases to decrease electric field and potential.
Q#3:
How can you identify that which plate of a capacitor is positively
charged?
Ans#3:
When a freely suspende`d positively charged gold leaf of electroscope is
8brought near to one of the plates of capacitor the divergence to gold leaf
shows that the plate of the capacitor is positively charge d otherwise negatively
charged..

Ans#4:
The electric force F on a charge q due to eclectic field E is given by
F= qE
(A) When a positive point charge is placed between parallel plates with similar
and equal charges. it will experience no electric force because electric field
between the plate is zero . F=qE
F=q(0) =0 F=0
(B) When a positive pint charge is placed between the plates of the Scapacitor it
will experience electric force , F=qE S

Due to electric field set up from positive to negative .

Q#5:
Electric lines of forces never cross each other. Why?
Ans#5:
No, two electric lines of forces never cross each other because E only
one direction at a given point .if two lines cross each other then there will be
more directions at a point which is impossible.
Q#6:
If appoint charge q of mass m is released in a non uniform electric
field with field lines pointing in the same direction, will it make a
rectilinear motion?
Ans#6:
Motion along a straight line is called rectilinear motion when a charge
q of mass m is released in a non uniform electric field. It will not move in a
straight line and adopts irregular path due to variable electric field.

SOLUTION OF BOOK QUESTIONS 2nd YEAR PHYSICS

Ans#7: Yes E is necessarily zero inside a charged rubber balloon if balloon is

spherical and enclosed no charge but chage is distributed uniformly over its
surface. According to Gausss law.

e =q/0=0/ 0=0
e = 0 --------1
From definition,
e = E.A--------2
Putting equation 1 in eq 2
0= E.A
A # 0 so,
E=0
Q#8:
Is it true that Gausss law states that the total number of lines of
forces crossing any closed surface in the outward direction is proportional
to the net positive charge enclosed within surface?
Ans#8:
Yes, it is true that total no of lines of forces crossing any closed surface in
outward direction proportional to the net positive charge according with surface
in the outward direction proportional to the net positive charge enclosed with in
the surface .
According to Gausss law,
e =q/0 = constant x q
e q here
q = net positive charge .
e =no of electric lines of force
Hence no of electric lines of forces are proportional to net positive charge
Q#9:
Do electrons tend to go to region of high potential or of low
potential?
Ans#9:
Electrons tend to go to a region of high potential because high potential
is more positive than the lower potential as the charge on electron is negative.

A potential difference is applied across the ends of a copper wire

.what is the effect of drift velocity
(1) Increasing the potential difference.
(2) decreasing the length and the temperature of the wire.
Ans#1
The uniform velocity that the free electrons acqure opposite to the
electric field of battery is called the drift velocity.
(1) the increase of potential difference makes the electric field strong which
cases to increase the drift velocity
(2) the decrease in length an temperature of the wire which causes to to
increase the drift velocity of the free electron in the wire.
Q#2:
Do bends in wire effects its electrical resistance?
Ans#3
We know that R= l/A with bends in a wire , its length (L) and area of
cross section (A) remains the same .hence bends in a wire do not affect the
electrical resistance (R) of the wire .
Q#4:
Why does the resistance of a conductor rise with temperature?
Ans#4
As temperature of the conductor rises the irrational amplitude of the
atoms of the conductor increases and hence the probability of collisions of free
electrons with them increases .at high temperature , the atoms offer a bigger
target area to free electrons to collide with them and resistance of conducer

increases.

magnetic field perpendicular to their velocities. If the charges are reflected
in opposite directions, what can you say about them?
Ans#5:
Two charge particles are projected in a magnetic field perpendicular to its

magnetic field particles are deflected so they are oppositely charged .So, one
particle is positively charged and other is negatively charged.

increases which case emf induced.
Q#6
When the switch in the circuit is closed a current is established in the coil

The coil must be rotated about about x-axis to get change of magnetic flux and
an induced current through it.The emf induced in the coil is given by
=NwABsin0 .
only in this case emf is induced.
If the coil rotated about z-axis then no change of magnetic flux takes place .

Q#11
When an electric motor, such as an electrical drill, is being used, does it
also act as a generator? if so what is consequences of this?
Ans#11
When an electrical motor is running, its armature is rotating in a magnetic field.
a torque acts on the armature and at the same time magnetic flux is changing
through is changing which produced an induced emf .the induced emf opposes
the rotation of armature .this means that motor also act as generator when it is
running .when motor rotate without load it will rotate quite easy,then large back
emf is induced .but in case of when motor is over loaded the induced back emf
in the coil produces high current which cause to burn the motor out .
Q#12
Can a D.C motor be turned into a D.C generator? What changes are
required to be done?
Ans#12
Yes,
D.C motor and D.C generator are same in construction but the difference is that
D.C is mechanically driven instrument while D.C motor is electrically driven.
If voltage is supplied by connecting a battery to slip ring of D.C generator, then
D.C generator acts as D.C motor.
When current passes through armature of motor a torque is produced which
rotates the armature .by converting electrical energy into mechanical energy
.thus a D.C motor can be converted into D.C generator.
There are two changes occurs to convert D.C motor into D.C generator
1) The magnetic field must be applied by permanent magnet and not
by electromagnet.
2) An arrangement to rotate the coil armature should be provided.

Can an electric motor be used to driven an electric generator with the out
put from the generator being used to operate the motor?
Ans#14
No, it is impossible .if it is possible it will be self operating system without

Moreover the efficiency is always less than 100.
Hence a combination of motor and generator can never produce more energy
out than its energy.
Q#15
A suspended magnet is oscillating freely in a horizontal plane. The
oscillations are strongly damped when a metal plate is placed under the

The oscillating magnet produces change of magnetic flux close to it. The metal
plate below it experience a the change of magnetic flux .As a result eddy
current produced inside the metal .according to lenss law ,
Eddy currents oppose the cause which produces it. Therefore ,the oscillations of

a) Can a step up transformer increases the power level?
b) In a transformer, there is no transfer of charge from the primary to

a) is very small if the secondary circuit is open ,but,
b) Increases when the secondary circuit is closed .explain these facts.

a) if the secondary circuit is open, then out power will be zero .because out
put power always les than input power .therefore very small value of
current is being drawn by a primary coil of transformer a.c mains
b) When the secondary circuit is closed, the out power will be increase
.therefore the transformer will draw a large current from the a.c mains to
increase the primary power.
