Max marks: 10 Time: 30 min

1. given fig shows capacitor of plates radius 12 cm and

separated by 5 cm. the capacitor being charged such that

the charging current is constant and equal to 0.15 A.
(a) Calculate the capacitance and the rate of charge of
potential difference between the plates.
(b) Obtain the displacement current across the plates
(c) is Kirchhoff’s junction rule valid at each plate of the
capacitor? explain (3 marks)
2. Calculate the electric and magnetic fields produced by
radiation coming from a 100 W bulb at a distance of 3 m.
assume that the efficiency of the bulb is 2.5 % and it is a
point source (3 marks)
3. An em wave is travelling in a medium with velocity 𝑣 =
𝑣 𝑖̂. The electric field oscillations of this wave are along y
axis
(a) identify the direction of oscillations of magnetic field.
(b) How are the magnitude of electric and magnetic field
of em wave related to each other?(2 marks)
4. Which segment of electromagnetic waves has the highest
frequency? How are these waves produced? Give one use
of them (1 mark)
5. How are em waves produced by oscillating charges? Why
is it not possible to produce them in visible region with

1
modern electronic circuit? What is the method of
production of x rays (1 mark)
