Section A

1 What would be the [1]

work done if a point
charge + q, is taken
from a point A to the
point B on the
circumference of a
circle with another
point charge +q at the

centre?
2 Induced emf is also [1]
called back emf. Why?
3 In a p - n junction [1]
under equilibrium,
there is no net current.
Why?
4 Show that the electric [2]
field at the surface of a
charged conductor is
σ
given by E= n^ ,
ε0
where σ is the surface
charge density and n^ is
a unit vector normal to
the surface in the
outward direction.
5 An electric bulb rated [2]
for 500 W at 100 V is
used in circuit having a
200 V supply. Calculate
the resistance R that
 must be put in series
with the bulb, so that
the bulb delivers 500
W.
6 Sketch a graph [2]
showing the variation
of impedance of LCR
circuit with the
frequency of applied
voltage.
7 A capacitor made of [2]
two parallel plates,
each of area A and
separation d is charged
by an external
dcsource. Show that
during charging, the
displacement current
inside the capacitor is
the same as the current
charging the capacitor.
8 A 12 m tall tree is to be [2]
photographed with a
pinholecamera. It is
situated 15 m away
from the pin hole. How
far should the screen
be placed from the
pinhole to obtain a 12
cm tall image of the
tree?
9 A parallel beam of light [2]
of 600 nm falls on a
narrow slit and the
resulting diffraction
pattern is observed on
a screen 1.2 m away. It
is observed that the
first minimum is at a
distance of 3 mm from
the centre of the
screen. Calculate the
width of the slit.
10 Why it is the frequency [2]
 and not the intensity of
light source that
determines whether
emission of
photoelectrons will
occur or not? Explain.
11 Define current [3]
sensitivity and voltage
sensitivity of a
galvanometer.
Increasing the current
sensitivity may not
necessarily increase
the voltage sensitivity
of galvanometer.
Justify.
