[As on raising the temperature of a conductor, the amplitude of vibrating molecules increases,
increasing both of resistance and resistivity].

[As the specific resistance of a substance is a physical property for such substance only depends
on type of matter and temperature]
c. On joining three identical lamps in series with a battery, the illumination intensity of them
differ from there illumination when being joining in parallel with the same source. [As in
series joining the total resistance increases decreasing the total current, and the delivered

joining, the total resistance decreases, increasing the total current, and the delivered power
from the source increases, increasing the illumination of each lamp]
d. Terminal voltage at the poles of a battery in a closed circuit is always smaller than its e.m.f.

constant temperature, doubling length of a conductor only double its ohmic resistance]

Q4

A. Give reasons for;


a. The magnetic poles of galvanometer are concave.

To provide a uniform radial magnetic field, this ensures that the plane of coil is always parallel to the magnetic field
and so the angle of scale deflection is proportional to the passing current intensity.

b. The regular scale of ammeter, while it is irregular for ohmmeter

As the angle of scale deflection is proportional to the passing current, while in ohmmeter the passing current is
inversely proportional to the total resistance not with the added external resistance.

c. The presence of spiral springs in galvanometer.

Lead current to coil, and on passing current a counter mechanical torque is produced opposes the magnetic torque
providing a fixed scale reading due to current, and returns pointer back to zero when current stops.

d. A source of fixed e.m.f is fitted inside the ohmmeter.


So that passing current is fixed, and is inversely proportional to the total resistance.
e. Ammeter is fitted in series while voltmeter is joined in parallel inside the electric circuit.

Mr. Samir Ashour 

in parallel so that its terminal voltage equals the voltage being measured.

B. First; mention the results for:


a. Using an ammeter of maximum reading 10 A for measuring a current of 0.5 mA.

It concentrates the magnetic flux lines due to its high magnetic permeability.

c. Passing d.c through a rectangular coil placed parallel to a magnetic field.

The coil is affected by a maximum magnetic torque value, causing its rotation if possible.

As the wire is place perpendicular to the magnetic field lines.

b. A point where the magnetic flux density vanishes between two parallel long wires carrying d.c at a
distance from one wire quarter the separating distance.

As they have currents in similar direction, and the further wire carries current three times as much as that of the
nearer wire.

c. Decrease the sensitivity of a galvanometer to half.

By joining a shunt resistance in parallel with the coil of galvanometer of value equals that of galvanometer
resistance.

- Explanation :
According to Faraday's law,
Which represents the slope of the tangent of
the curve at any moment.
At begining: lm = 0,so the slope is maximum and
so that the value of emf is maximum.
but we draw it in the negative direction according to
Lenz's rule.
- By increasing the value of , the slope
decreases gradually and, so the value of
emf decreases and when the value of 4> 111
reaches to maximum, the value of emf
equals zero.
- When the value of ll,,, decreases, the
value of slope increases in the negative
direction and the value of emf increases
but in the positive direction and so on

 The two wires move in two opposite


directions ar away from each other and a
repulsion force is generated because the
magnetic field starts to decrease gradually,
an electric current is generated
through the two wires and according to

generated through the two wires as shown


in the figure and a repulsion

Q4

A. Explain each of the following:


a. At very high frequency, we consider the circuit of an inductive coil as an open circuit.

As the inductive reactance is directly proportional to the current frequency, so at higher frequencies inductive
reactance increasing and almost no current flows, and the circuit seems to be opened.
b. The electric circuit of a capacitor with fixed capacitance is considered as a closed-circuit at higher
frequencies.

As the capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the current frequency, so at higher frequencies capacitive
reactance decreasing and high current flows, and the circuit is closed.

c. The scale of hot wire ammeter is non–uniform.

As the produced heat is directly proportional to the square of current intensity, so doubling current increases the
heat four times, and increasing current three times increases the heat developed to nine times.

d. At resonance, the current intensity is maximum and impedance is minimum.

At resonance the total reactance for coil and capacitor = 0, so impedance = resistance value only (the smallest value),
and the passing current will be maximum in turns.

e. The current is decayed after certain time in the oscillating circuit.

Due to the ohmic resistance of connecting wires, electric energy decreases gradually for moving charges, decreasing
the potential difference on capacitor plates as well as the current intensity, forming a damped oscillation.

To avoid the effect of room temperature and zero error, as both expand similarly.
b. Capacitors are used to split small frequency currents from high frequency currents.
As the capacitive reactance is inversely proportional to the current frequency, so smaller frequency is

As a.c voltages can be changed using transformers, while d.c voltage can't be altered using transformers.

As the total reactance equals zero, as XL = XC, and impedance is only equal to the circuit resistance that is

As the coefficient of self-induction is directly proportional to the square of turns number, and is

inversely proportional to the solenoid length, as L = 𝑙 , so its inductive reactance decreases.
b. There is no energy loss in the capacitor due to its capacitive reactance.
As the voltage between its plates opposes the passage of charges, providing an electric field without
losing energy.
c. The hot wire ammeter is joined inside the electric circuit in series.
So that all the measured current flows through the device.

As the passing current through the coil must be opposed by an ohmic resistance due to the collision
between free moving electrons and the particles of wire.
e. D.c doesn't flow through a capacitor circuit, though a.c can flow through a capacitor circuit.
As the insulator between the plates of capacitor prevents the flow of d.c, while a.c has a variable voltage

a. Joining a capacitor with a d.c source.
Capacitor is first charged, forming an electric field opposes that of the source as its voltage is equal to

b. Passage of a.c through the coil of moving coil galvanometer.
At low frequency, the pointer vibrates due to the variable magnetic torque formed, while in case of high

c. Fixing the iridium platinum alloy in the moving coil galvanometer with a metallic strip of different

Second; prove that the impedance of an RC circuit is given by the relation: Z = √𝑹𝟐 + 𝑿𝟐𝑪 .

As; VR is of similar phase with current in ohmic resistance, while in


capacitor voltage lags current by 90o,
So, total voltage, VT = √𝑉𝑅2 + 𝑉𝐶2 , dividing by the total current (I).

So; Z = √𝑅 2 + 𝑋𝐶2

a. The capacitive reactance of a capacitor approaches zero in an a.c circuit.
1 1
As the capacitive reactance XC = 2𝑓𝐶 , so; XC  𝑓, so at very high frequencies, capacitive reactance
approaches zero.
b. The phase angle between the total voltage and current in an RLC circuit equals zero.
At the state of resonance, where; XL = XC, so; total voltage is of similar phase with current.
c. Voltage leads current by 90o in an a.c circuit.
In a circuit of inductive coil, where voltage leads current by 90o due to its inductive reactance.

d. Using a tuning circuit to pick specific wireless signal.
At which the circuit frequency matches the frequency of desired wireless signal, that is achieved by
changing the capacitance of capacitor, or the self-induction of coil, reaching the state of resonance,
where impedance is minimum and passing current is maximum.
e. Energy loss in an oscillating circuit.
Due to the ohmic resistance of the connecting wires, that consumes electric energy decreasing voltage
and current gradually.

Second; mention the results for:


a. Increasing the capacitance of capacitor in an RC circuit at constant voltage and frequency upon the
passing current.
Passing current increases due to the decrease in the capacitive reactance, in case of high capacitance.
b. The coil is double wounded concerning its inductive reactance.
Self-induction vanishes as well as the inductive reactance, only the ohmic resistance remains.
c. Decreasing the length of a solenoid to half concerning its inductive reactance.
The inductive reactance is doubled as its self-induction is doubled.

C. The following table relates the inductive reactance of a coil and the frequency of passing current.
