34. A prism is a solid transparent medium bounded by three rectangular

faces with a triangular base and a top. A ray of light incident at angle i
on one face of a prism suffers two refractions on passing through a prism.
Hence it deviates through a certain angle from its original path. The
angle of deviation becomes minimum ( = m) for a certain value of angle
i. In such a condition, the refracted ray inside the prism becomes parallel
to its base. An expression for refractive index of the material of the
prism can be obtained in terms of angle A and angle m.

(a) Show in a figure the variation of angle with angle of incidence i. 1

(b) Show that for a prism of small angle A, the refractive index of its

material can be written as =1+ m . 1

the angle of incidence and the angle of emergence are equal to the

A parallel plate capacitor is an arrangement of two identical metal plates

kept parallel, a small distance apart. The capacitance of a capacitor
depends on the size and separation of the two plates and also on the
dielectric constant of the medium between the plates. Like resistors,
capacitors can also be arranged in series or parallel or a combination of
both. By virtue of electric field between the plates, charged capacitors
store energy.

(a) The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor increases from 10 F to

80 F on introducing a dielectric medium between the plates. Find
the dielectric constant of the medium. 1
(b) n capacitors, each of capacitance C, are connected in series. Find
the equivalent capacitance of the combination. 1
(c) A capacitor is charged to a potential (V) by connecting it to a
battery. After some time, the battery is disconnected and a
dielectric is introduced between the plates. How will the potential
difference between the plates, and the energy stored in it be
affected ? Justify your answer. 2
OR
(c) Find the equivalent capacitance between points A and B, if
capacitance of each capacitor is C. 2

 Marking Scheme
Strictly Confidential
(For Internal and Restricted use only)
Senior Secondary School Supplementary Examination, July- 2023
SUBJECT NAME: PHYSICS SUBJECT CODE: 042 PAPER CODE : 55/C/2
General Instructions: -

1 You are aware that evaluation is the most important process in the actual and correct
assessment of the candidates. A small mistake in evaluation may lead to serious problems
which may affect the future of the candidates, education system and teaching profession. To
avoid mistakes, it is requested that before starting evaluation, you must read and understand
the spot evaluation guidelines carefully.
2 “Evaluation policy is a confidential policy as it is related to the confidentiality of the
examinations conducted, Evaluation done and several other aspects. Its’ leakage to
public in any manner could lead to derailment of the examination system and affect the
life and future of millions of candidates. Sharing this policy/document to anyone,
publishing in any magazine and printing in News Paper/Website etc may invite action
under various rules of the Board and IPC.”
3 Evaluation is to be done as per instructions provided in the Marking Scheme. It should not be
done according to one‟s own interpretation or any other consideration. Marking Scheme
should be strictly adhered to and religiously followed. However, while evaluating, answers
which are based on latest information or knowledge and/or are innovative, they may be
assessed for their correctness otherwise and due marks be awarded to them. In class-
XII, while evaluating two competency-based questions, please try to understand given
answer and even if reply is not from marking scheme but correct competency is
enumerated by the candidate, due marks should be awarded.
4 The Marking scheme carries only suggested value points for the answers. These are in the
nature of Guidelines only and do not constitute the complete answer. The students can have
their own expression and if the expression is correct, the due marks should be awarded
accordingly.
5 The Head-Examiner must go through the first five answer books evaluated by each evaluator
on the first day, to ensure that evaluation has been carried out as per the instructions given in
the Marking Scheme. If there is any variation, the same should be zero after deliberation and
discussion. The remaining answer books meant for evaluation shall be given only after
ensuring that there is no significant variation in the marking of individual evaluators.
6 Evaluators will mark( √ ) wherever answer is correct. For wrong answer CROSS „X” be
marked. Evaluators will not put right (✓)while evaluating which gives an impression that
answer is correct and no marks are awarded. This is most common mistake which
evaluators are committing.
7 If a question has parts, please award marks on the right-hand side for each part. Marks
awarded for different parts of the question should then be totaled up and written in the left-
hand margin and encircled. This may be followed strictly.
8 If a question does not have any parts, marks must be awarded in the left-hand margin and
encircled. This may also be followed strictly.
9 If a student has attempted an extra question, answer of the question deserving more marks
should be retained and the other answer scored out with a note “Extra Question”.
10 No marks to be deducted for the cumulative effect of an error. It should be penalized only
once.
11 A full scale of marks 70 has to be used. Please do not hesitate to award full marks if the
answer deserves it.
12 Every examiner has to necessarily do evaluation work for full working hours i.e., 8 hours
 every day and evaluate 20 answer books per day in main subjects and 25 answer books per
day in other subjects (Details are given in Spot Guidelines).
13 Ensure that you do not make the following common types of errors committed by the
Examiner in the past:- Giving more marks for an answer than assigned to it.

(a) For Answer 1
Reason 1
(a) Power delivered just after it is turned on, will be more because
1
resistance of the bulb is low. After some time temperature of the bulb

For parallel Answer ½

Justification ½

For series
Power dissipated will be maximum for 3R. ½
Because current is same and power is proportional to resistance. ½

For parallel
