Directions: Each of these questions contain two statements, Assertion and Reason. Each of these questions
also has four alternative choices, only one of which is the correct answer. You have to select one of the
codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) given below.
(a) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is a correct explanation for assertion.
(b) Assertion is correct, reason is correct; reason is not a correct explanation for assertion
(c) Assertion is correct, reason is incorrect
(d) Assertion is incorrect, reason is correct.

9. Assertion: The equatorial plane of a dipole is an equipotential surface.

Reason: The electric potential at any point on equatorial plane is zero.
10. Assertion : The drift velocity of electrons in a metallic wire will decrease, if the temperature of the wire is
increased.
Reason: On increasing temperature, conductivity of metallic wire decreases.

and the value of R is assumed as 2 Ω.
15. State Kirchhoff’s rules. Use these rules to write the expressions for the current I1 I2 and I3 in [5]
the circuit diagram shown.

Section-C
Case Study base Question [4]
16. When electric dipole is placed in uniform electric field, its two charges experience equal and opposite
forces, which cancel each other and hence net force on electric dipole in uniform electric field is zero.
However these forces are not collinear, so they give rise to some torque on the dipole. Since net force on
electric dipole in uniform electric field is zero, so no work is done in moving the electric dipole in uniform
electric field. However some work is done in rotating the dipole against the torque acting on it.

a. An electric dipole consists of two opposite charges, each of magnitude 1.0 μC separated by a distance
of 2.0 cm. The dipole is placed in an external field of 105 NC-1. The maximum torque on the dipole is
b. Torque on a dipole in uniform electric field is minimum when θ is equal to
(a) 0°
(b) 90°
(c) 180°
(d) Both (a) and (c)
c. When an electric dipole is held at an angle in a uniform electric field, the net force F and torque τ on
the dipole are
(a) F= 0, τ = 0
(b) F≠0, τ≠0
(c) F=0, τ ≠ 0
(d) F≠0, τ=0
d. What is formula of torque acting on the dipole?
