16. (a) Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.

SECTION B

17. (a) Electric charge of a body is quantized. This means that only integral (1, 2, …., n) number of electrons can be
transferred from one body to the other. Charges are not transferred in fraction. Hence, a body possesses total charge
only in integral multiples of electric charge. ( 1 mark)
(b) In macroscopic or large scale charges, the charges used are huge as compared to the magnitude of electric charge.
Hence, quantization of electric charge is of no use on macroscopic scale. Therefore, it is ignored and it is considered
that electric charge is continuous. (1 mark)

18. The situation is represented in the given figure.

 (a) An equipotential surface is the plane on which total potential is zero everywhere. This plane is
normal to line AB. The plane is located at the mid-point of line AB because the magnitude of charges is the
same. (1 mark)
(b) The direction of the electric field at every point on this surface is normal to the plane in the direction
of AB. (1 mark)

19. (1 + 1)

20. (1 + 1)

21. When dc source is connected, the condenser is charged but no current flows in the circuit, therefore, the
lamp does not glow. No change occurs even when capacitance of capacitor is increased. (1)
When ac source is connected, the capacitor offers capacitive reactance Xc=1/ωC. The current flows in the
circuit and the lamp glows. On increasing capacitance, XC decreases. Therefore, glow of the bulb increases. (1)

(or)

This will happen when the impedance of both the circuits is the same, i.e. R. This is possible when circuit (b) is
in resonance. (1)

24. Lorentz’s magnetic force is force experienced by a charged particle of charge ‘q’ moving in

perpendicular to each other (1/2 + 1/2)

Derivation of expression for the force acting on a current carrying conductor of length L in a uniform magnetic
field ‘B’. ( 2 marks)
25. Since the current leads the voltage in phase, hence, XC > XL
For resonance, we must have
New value of X’C = XL

This requires an increase in the value of C. Hence, capacitor C0 should be connected in parallel across C.
The diagram of the modified circuit is shown. For resonance, we then have

(2 marks)

(or)

(a) Kirchhoff’s rules.

1. Kirchhoff’s junction rule: At any junction, the sum of the currents entering the junction is equal to the
sum of currents leaving the junction.
2. Kirchhoff’s loop rule: The algebraic sum of changes in potential in any closed loop involving resistors
and cells is zero.
These two laws are justified on the basis of law of conservation of charge and the law of conservation of energy
respectively. (2 marks)

(b) In 1st loop −R+1+2=0 ⇒ R = 3Ω

In 2nd loop −2R1+2−2 = 0 ⇒ R1= 0

Now going from point, A to B via C. VA+1−0 = VB ⇒ VB =1V

33. (a) Diagram (1/2 ) &

Principle – Mutual Induction (1/2)

 (b) The purpose of the transformer is to increase/decrease voltage. It definitely obeys law of conservation of
energy as the increase in voltage is compensated by the decrease in current ( which is generally in the ratio of
number of turns in primary and secondary coils). Thus the over all product VI = constant in both sides of
transformer. So input power = power output ( ideal conditions ignoring losses like eddy current loss, hysteresis
etc). (1 mark)

(c) Total resistance R = 0.5 × 2 × 15 = 15 ohm

(i) Rms value of current in the two wire line

Therefore power loss along the line= l2rmsR = (200)2 × 15 = 600 kW (1 mark)
(ii) Assuming negligible loss due to leakage Total power supply = power demand of town + power loss along
the line
P = 800 kW + 600 kW = 1400 kW (1 mark)
(iii) Voltage drop on the line = 200 × 15 = 3000 V
Hence voltage at the generation station

V= 4000 + 3000 = 7000 V

Therefore the step-up transformer at the plant is 440 V – 7000 V. (1 mark)

(b)

(c) It is true that in any ac circuit, the applied voltage is equal to the average sum of the instantaneous voltages
across the series elements of the circuit. However, this is not true for rms voltage because voltages across
different elements may not be in phase. (1 mark)
