Physics Questions and Solutions - Set 2

Section - A
**When a body is connected to the Earth, then electrons from the Earth flow into the body.
It means that the body is:**

c) Positively charged
(Explanation: Electrons flow to neutralize the positive charge on the body.)

**A bar magnet of magnetic moment M is cut into two parts of equal length. The magnetic
moment of either part is:**

b) M/2
(Explanation: Magnetic moment is directly proportional to the volume of the magnet.)

**The radius of curvature of a plane mirror is:**

a) Infinite
(Explanation: A plane mirror can be considered a sphere with an infinitely large radius.)

**The interference occurs in which of the following waves?**

d) All of these
(Explanation: Interference is a property of all wave types, including transverse, longitudinal,
and electromagnetic waves.)

**Rutherford’s α-particle experiment showed that atoms have:**

b) Nucleus
(Explanation: The deflection of α-particles suggested a dense central core.)

**The net charge on a current-carrying conductor is:**

a) Zero
(Explanation: Conductors maintain charge neutrality while conducting current.)

**Lenz’s law is associated with the principle of conservation of:**

c) Energy
(Explanation: Lenz’s law ensures that the induced current opposes changes, conserving
energy.)

**If a uniform electric field exists along the X-axis, then equipotential surfaces are along:**

c) YZ-plane
(Explanation: Equipotential surfaces are perpendicular to the field direction.)
**The value of peak AC in a 220 V mains is:**

c) 220√2 V
(Explanation: Peak voltage V_peak = √2 × RMS voltage.)

**The direction of transmission of electromagnetic waves is:**

d) Parallel to E × B
(Explanation: Wave propagation is perpendicular to both electric and magnetic fields.)

**If momentum of a particle is doubled, then its de-Broglie wavelength will:**

a) Be halved
(Explanation: λ = h/p; doubling p reduces λ by half.)

**The direction of the magnetic field produced by a current-carrying small element is given
by:**

c) Right-hand thumb rule


(Explanation: Thumb indicates current, and curled fingers show the magnetic field.)

**Blue color of the sky appears due to scattering of blue color. Reason: Blue color has the
shortest wavelength in the visible spectrum.**

Correct Explanation: Both assertion and reason are correct, and reason explains the
assertion.

**A small metal ball is suspended in a uniform electric field. High-energy X-rays cause
deflection due to photoelectron emission.**

Correct Explanation: Both assertion and reason are correct, and reason explains the
assertion.

**Standard optical diffraction gratings cannot discriminate between X-ray wavelengths.


Reason: Grating spacing is not of X-ray order.**

Correct Explanation: Both assertion and reason are correct, and reason explains the
assertion.

Section - B
**How does an oscillating charge produce electromagnetic waves?**

An oscillating charge creates a time-varying electric field, which generates a magnetic field.
These fields propagate as electromagnetic waves.

**A hollow metal sphere of radius 5 cm is charged such that potential on its surface is 10 V.
What is the potential at the center?**
10 V
(Explanation: Inside a conductor, the potential remains constant.)

**Two identical cells with emf E and negligible internal resistance are connected in parallel
across R. Find current:**

Total current = E/R (Since internal resistance is negligible, the effective emf is E.)

**Define stopping potential:**

Stopping potential is the minimum potential needed to stop photoelectrons from reaching
the anode in a photoelectric setup.

**Write the de-Broglie wavelength for a particle of charge q and mass m accelerated by
potential V:**

λ = h/√(2qVm), where h is Planck's constant, q is charge, V is potential, and m is mass.

**Distinguish paramagnetic and diamagnetic materials:**

- Paramagnetic: Weakly attracted to a magnetic field; unpaired electrons.


- Diamagnetic: Weakly repelled by a magnetic field; paired electrons.

Section - C
**Draw path of rays for an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment.**

Illustration is required for detailed explanation.

**Nature of electrostatic force if q1 + q2 > 0 or q1 + q2 < 0:**

- q1 + q2 > 0: Repulsive.
- q1 + q2 < 0: Attractive.

**Magnetic field at center of circular coil and its magnetic moment:**

- Magnetic field: B = (μ₀NI)/(2r).


- Magnetic moment: M = NIA.

**Induced current in PQ and CD due to bar magnet:**

Use Lenz's law to determine direction of induced current based on flux changes.

**Why energy is released in nuclear reactions despite nucleon conservation?**

Binding energy difference between reactants and products is released as energy.

**Conduction and displacement current continuity:**

Maxwell’s equations ensure the total current (conduction + displacement) is continuous.
