Electric field due to a uniformly charged thin spherical shell (hollow sphere):
Consider a thin spherical shell of charge of radius R with uniform surface charge density . From
symmetry, we see that the electric field r at any point is radial and has same magnitude at points
equidistant from the centre. To determine electric field at any point P at a distance r from O, we
choose a concentric sphere of radius r as the Gaussian surface.
When point P lies outside the spherical shell (r>R): The total charge q inside the Gaussian surface
is the charge on the shell of radius R and area 4 R2.

17) State the underline principle of a cyclotron. Give its limitations and two practical uses. (3)
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 14
SOL: CYCLOTRON:
Principle. A charged particle can be accelerated to very high energies by making it pass through a
moderate electric field a number of times. This can be done with the help of a perpendicular magnetic
field which throws the charged particle into a circular motion, the frequency of which does not depend
on the speed of the particle and the radius of the circular
orbit.
Construction. As shown in Fig. , a cyclotron consists of
two small, hollow, metallic half-cylinders D1 and D2, called
dees. An alternating voltage of few hundred kilovolts is
applied across the gap between the two dees. The dees are
placed between the poles of a strong electromagnet. A
source of charged particles or ions is placed near the centre
of the dees. These ions move in a circular fashion in the
dees, D1 and D2, on account of the uniform perpendicular
magnetic field B. The whole assembly is evacuated to
Minimise collisions between the ions and the air molecules.
Theory. As a particle of charge q and mass m follows a
circular path under the effect of perpendicular magnetic
field B, so
Magnetic force on charge q = Centripetal force on charge q
Clearly, this frequency is independent of both the velocity of the particle and the radius of the
orbit and is called cyclotron frequency or magnetic resonance frequency This is the key fact which
is made use of in the operation of a cyclotron.
Limitations of a Cyclotron
i) A cyclotron cannot be used to accelerate electrons , because its mass is extremely small .
when we increase the velocity beyond a certain limit it becomes more and more out of
step.
According to Einstein's special theory of relativity, the mass of a particle increases with its
velocity.

v

c
At high velocities, the cyclotron frequency will decrease due to increase in mass. This will
throw the particle out of resonance with the oscillating field.
ii) Neutrons, being electrically neutral, cannot be accelerated in a cyclotron.
Uses: It is a device used to accelerate charged particles like protons, deutrons, -particles,
etc…., to very high energies.
18) Define the terms (i) disintegration constant and (ii) half-life for a radioactive nucleus. obtain
the relation between the two. (3)
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 15
SOL: RADIOACTIVE DECAY CONSTANT The decay constant of a radioactive sample is a characteristic of the radioactive substance. The
radioactive substances having large value of the decay constant , decay rapidly in comparison to those
having a small value of decay constant.
According to radioactive decay law,
Hence, radioactive decay constant of a substance (radioactive) may be defined as the ratio of
its instantaneous rate of disintegration to the number of atoms present at that time.
Hence, radioactive decay constant of a substance may also be defined as the reciprocal of the time,
after which the number of atoms of a radioactive substance decreases to 0.368 (or 36.8%) of their
number present initially.
HALF-LIFE
The half-life of a radioactive substance is defined as the time during which the nuclei of half of the
atoms of the radioactive substance will disintegrate. It is denoted by T.
Consider that a radioactive sample contains No atoms at time t = 0. Then, the number of atoms
left behind after time t is given by
t
oN N e ……..(1)
From the definition of half-life, it follows that 2
oNN
When t = T (half-life of the sample),
Setting the above condition in equation (1), we have
Thus, half-life of a radioactive substance is inversely proportional to its decay constant and is a
characteristic property of its nucleus. It cannot be altered by any known method.

20) What is meant by detection of a signal in a communication system? With the help of a block
diagram explain the detection of A.M. signal. (3)
SOL: In a communication system detection is the process of recovering the modulating signal from
the modulated carrier wave. Following are the essential steps for detection.
1. Selection of desired signal which may be mixed with unwanted noise using tuned circuit
comparising of an inductor L and a variable capacitor.
2. Rectification of the signal.
3. Envelope detection [using a RC circuit in which capacitor works as a bypass for carriers waves].
21) A parallel plate capacitor, each with plate area A and separation d, is charged to a potential

a) charge on the plate
b) electric field intensity between the plates
c) capacitance of the capacitor?
Justify your answer in each case. (3)
SOL: Before introduction of slab
After introduction of dielectric slab between two plates of parallel plate capacitor.
(a) Since, capacitor is disconnected by battery, therefore, charge of capacitor remain conserved i.e.,

22) (a) What are electromagnetic waves ? A plane electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum
along z-direction. What can you say about the directions of its electric and magnetic field
vectors? If the frequency of the wave is 30 MHz, what is its wavelength?
(b) What is displacement current ? A variable frequency AC source is connected to a
capacitor . How will the displacement current change with decrease in frequency ? (3)
SOL: (a) ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES: The electric field (varying along Y-axis) and the
magnetic field (varying along Z-axis) radiated from an oscillating electric dipole combine together to
form an electromagnetic wave which propagates along X-axis.
Thus, an electric dipole is a basic source of e. m. waves.
As we know that the direction of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both electric and magnetic
fields. Here, electromagnetic wave is travelling in Z-direction, then electric and magnetic fields are in
X-Y direction and are perpendicular to each other.
If Frequency of waves f = 30 MHz = 30 × 106 Hz
Speed c =3 × 108 m/s
Using the formula, c = f
Wavelength of electromagnetic waves
Thus, the wavelength of electromagnetic waves is 10 m.
(b) Displacement current is that current which comes into existence, in addition to the conduction
current, whenever the electric field and hence the electric flux changes with time.

Describe briefly any two energy losses, giving the reasons for their occurrence in actual
transformers. How these losses can be minimised ?
How is the transformer used in large scale transmission and distribution of electrical energy
over long distance? (5)
SOL: Transformers
It is a device for converting low ac voltage ( at high current ) into high voltage (at low current ) and
vice-versa .
Principle: It works on the principle of mutual induction, i.e., when a changing current is passed
through one of the two inductively coupled coils, an induced emf is set up in the other coil.
Construction. A transformer essentially consists of two coils of insulated copper wire having
different number of turns and wound on the same soft iron core. The coil P to which electric energy is.
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 20
supplied is called the primary and the coil from which energy is drawn or output is obtained is called
the secondary. To prevent energy losses due to eddy currents, a laminated core is used.
Working. As the alternating current flows through the primary, it generates an alternating magnetic
flux in the core which also passes through the secondary. This changing flux sets up an induced emf
in the secondary, also a self-induced emf in the primary. If there is no leakage of magnetic flux, then
flux linked with each turn of the primary will be equal to that linked with each turn of the secondary.
Theory. Consider the situation when no load is connected to the secondary, i.e., its terminals are
open. Let NP and NS be the number of turns in the primary and secondary respectively
Then Induced emf in the primary coil, P P

Let e be the emf applied to the primary. By Lenz's law, self-induced emf Pe opposes e, in the
primary coil.
Resultant emf in the primary = e– Pe
This emf sends current i1, through the primary coil of resistance R .
e – e P =R iP
But R is very small, so the term R iP can be neglected.
Then e = Pe
Thus Pe may be regarded as input emf and
Se as the output emf.

In a step up transformer, s PN N , i.e., the turns ratio is greater than 1 and therefore
s Pe e .
The output voltage is greater than the input voltage.
In a step down transformer, s PN N ,i.e., the turns ratio is less than 1 and therefore
s Pe e .
The output voltage is less than the input voltage.
Two energy losses in the actual transformers
(I) Hysterisis loss Loss of energy in magnetizing and demagnetizing the core of transformer in every
cycle.
It can be minimized by taking case of soft iron having low coercivity and retentivity and hysterisis
loop.
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 21
(II) Eddy current Energy loss in the form of heat due to eddy current. It can be minimized by taking
laminated core consisting of insulated rectangular sheets piled up one over other.
Step-up transformer are used at generating stations so as to transmit the power at high voltage to
minimise the loss in the form of heat whereas series of step-up transformer are used at receiving ends
as shown in schematic diagram below.
Utility of Transformers in Long-distance Power Transmission : If electric power generated at the
power station, say 22,000 W, be transmitted over long distances at the same voltage as required by
consumers, say 220 V, a number of disadvantages will arise :
(i ) The current i flowing through the line wires will be very high (= 22,000/220 = 100 A). Hence a
large amount of energy (i 2Rt ) will be wasted as heat during transmission, R being the resistance of
the line wires.
(i i ) The voltage drop along the line wire (iR) will be considerable. Hence the voltage at the
receiving station will be considerably lower than the voltage at the generating station.
(i i i) The line wires, which are to carry the high current, will have to be made thick. Such wires will
be expensive and require stronger poles to support them.
If, however, the power is transmitted at a high voltage, (say 11.000 V), all the above disadvantages
almost disappear. The current flowing through the line wires will then be only 22,000/11,000 = 2 A.
This will cause much less heating, much less voltage-drop along the line wire and will require much
thinner line wires.
Hence, the electric power generated at the power station is stepped-up to a very high voltage by
means of a step-up transformer and transmitted to distant places. At the place where the supply is
required, it is again stepped-down by a step-down transformer.
Only alternating-current is suitable for this transmission because only alternating-voltage can be
stepped-up or stepped-down by means of transformers.

SOL: Common-Emitter Transistor Characteristics
The common-emitter characteristics of a transistor are the graphs representing the variation of current
with voltage when the emitter is kept as a common terminal which is earthed. The base is made as the
input terminal and the collector as the output terminal.
The important transistor characteristics of the common-emitter configuration are the input
characteristics and the output characteristics.
(i) Input Characteristics : A graph between the base-emitter voltage VBE and the base-current iB at a
constant collector-emitter voltage VCE is called the 'input characteristic' of the transistor.
(ii) Output Characteristics : A graph between the collector-emitter voltage VCE and the collector
current is at a constant base-current iB is called the 'output characteristic' of the transistor.
The circuit for obtaining the common-emitter characteristics of an n-p-n transistor is shown in
Fig. The base is connected, through a rheostat, to the positive terminal of a battery VBB whose
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 23
negative terminal is connected to the emitter. The base-to-emitter voltage VBE is read by a voltmeter,
and the small base current by a microammeter µ A. The collector is connected, through another
rheostat, to the positive terminal
of another battery Vcc whose negative terminal is connected to the emitter. The collector-to-emitter
voltage VCE is read by another voltmeter, and the collector current iC by a milliammeter mA.
There are four variables : base-to-emitter voltage VBE and base-current iB for the input circuit; and
collector-to-emitter voltage VCE and collector current is for the output circuit. The base-emitter circuit
is a low-current circuit microamperes), and the collector-emitter circuit is a relatively high-current
circuit. To draw the input (or base) characteristics, the collector-to- emitter voltage VCE is adjusted
to 1 volt (say) by the potential-divider in the
collector-emitter circuit. The base-emitter
voltage VBE is
now increased from zero onwards by means of
the potential-divider in the base-emitter
circuit, and the corresponding base current iB is
noted. A graph between VBE and iB is then
plotted
(Fig.). Another graph is plotted for VCE = 10
volt (say).
These characteristics lead to the following
conclusions.
(i) The base current remains almost zero so long the base-emitter voltage VBE is less than the barrier
voltage (= 0.3 V or so). As soon as VBE exceeds the barrier voltage, the current increases first slowly
and then rapidly. Now the curve resembles that of a forward-biased diode. Most of the emitter
electrons reach the collector to form the collector current, the base current being very small.
(ii) The input characteristics are only slightly dependent upon collector-to-emitter voltage VCE.
(iii) The input resistance' Rin is defined as the ratio of change in base-emitter voltage to the change in
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 24
base-current, that is
As the input characteristic is non-linear, Rin varies. At any point on the characteristic curve, Rin equals
the slope of the curve at that point and is of the order of kilo-ohms.
The input resistance is higher compared to that in the common-base configuration.
To obtain the output (or collector) characteristics,
the base voltage supply VBB in Fig. is adjusted to
set the base current iB at a fixed value. Then, the
collector-emitter voltage VCE is increased
gradually from zero and the corresponding
collector current ic is noted. A graph between VCE
and ic is then plotted
(Fig.). In this manner, a family of curves is
obtained for various constant base currents.
These characteristics lead to the following
conclusions :
(i) The collector current ic varies rapidly with collector-emitter voltage VCE for VCE between 0 and
about 1 volt only. The value of VCE upto which ic
changes is called the 'knee voltage'.
(ii) Above knee voltage, iC is almost constant, varying very slightly and linearly with VCE . The linear
part of the characteristic is used in audio-frequency amplifier circuits to obtain undistorted output.
(iii) For a given value of VCE , the collector current ic increases with increasing iB .
(iv) There is a small collector current even when the base current iB is zero. This is due to the intrinsic
conduction inherent in semiconductors and is highly temperature-dependent.
The a.c. output resistance Rout of the transistor in common-emitter configuration is defined, in
the linear part of the characteristics, as the ratio of change in collector-emitter voltage (VCE) to the
change in collector-current ( iC) at constant base-current. That is
The output resistance is lower compared to that in the common-base configuration.
Determination of Current-gain : It is evident from these characteristics that there is a current-
amplification in the common-emitter configuration. The input current iB is measured in microamperes,
and the output current ic is measured in milliamperes. For the common-emitter configuration, the
current-amplification is defined as the ratio of change in the collector-current to the change in the
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 25
base-current for a constant collector to emitter voltage and is denoted by . Thus
The value of β can be determined from the output characteristic curves Fig. For example, at
VCE 10 volt, we have
For a typical transistor, is about 50.

26) Draw the labelled ray diagram for the formation of image by an astronomical telescope.
Derive the expression for its magnifying power in normal adjustment. Write two basic
features which can distinguish between a telescope and a compound microscope. (5)
SOL: ASTRONOMICAL TELESCOPE
An astronomical telescope is an optical instrument which is used for observing distinct images of
heavenly bodies like stars, planets etc.
It consists of two lenses (or lens systems), the objective lens, which is of large focal length and large
aperture and the eye lens, which has a small focal length and small aperture. The two lenses are
mounted co-axially at the free ends of the two tubes. The distance between these lenses can be
adjusted using a rack and pinion arrangement.
In normal adjustment of telescope, the final image is formed at infinity.
The course of rays in normal adjustment of telescope is shown in Fig. A parallel beam of light from
an astronomical object (at infinity) is made to fall on the objective lens of the telescope. It form a real,
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 27
inverted and diminished image A'B' of the object. The eye piece is so adjusted that A'B' lies just at
the focus of the eye piece. Therefore, a final highly magnified image is formed at infinity. The final
image is erect w.r.t., A'B' and is inverted w.r.t. the object.
However, in astronomical telescope, final image being inverted w.r.t. the object does not matter, as
the astronomical objects are usually spherical.
Magnifying Power of an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment is defined as the ratio of the
angle subtended at the eye by the final image to the angle subtended at the eye, by the object
directly, when the final image and the object both lie at infinite distance from the eye.
(b) As the object lies at very huge distance, therefore, angle subtended by the object at C2 (where eye
is held) is almost the same as the angle subtended by the object at C1 (because C1 is close to C2). Let it
be α, i.e. A' C1 B' = α. Rays coming from the final image at infinity make A'C2 B = on the
eye. Therefore, by definition,

where C1B' = fo = focal length of objective lens,

Negative sign of m indicates that final image is inverted.
Thus, to increase magnifying power of an astronomical telescope in normal adjustment, focal length
of objective lens should be large and focal length of eye lens should be small.
In normal adjustment of telescope, distance between the objective lens and eye lens

( i ) Why must both the object and the eyepiece of a compound microscope have short focal
lengths?
( i i ) While viewing through a compound microscope, why should our eyes be positioned not

SOL: COMPOUND MICROSCOPE
A compound microscope is an optical instrument used for observing highly magnified images of tiny
objects.
Construction: A compound microscope consists of two converging lenses (or lens systems); an
objective lens O of very small focal length and short aperture and an eye piece E of moderate focal
length and large aperture. The two lenses are held co-axially at the free ends of a tube, at a suitable
fixed distance from each other. The distance of the objective lens from the object can be adjusted by
rack and pinion arrangement.
The course of rays through a compound microscope is shown AB is a tiny object held perpendicular to
the common principal axis, in front of the objective lens beyond its principal focus Fo. A real, inverted
and enlarged image A'B' of this object is formed by the objective lens.
Now A'B' acts as an object for the eye lens, whose position is so adjusted that A'B' lies between
optical centre C2 of eye lens and its principal focus Fe . A virtual and magnified image A" B" is
formed by the eye lens. This image is erect w.r.t. A'B' but inverted w.r.t. AB. The final image A" B"
SIROHI CLASSES PH-9810272244/9810252244/34 Page 29
is seen by the eye held close to eye lens. The adjustments are so made that A" B" is at the least
distance of distinct vision (d) from the eye i.e. C2 B" = d.
Magnifying power of a compound microscope is defined as the ratio of the angle subtended at the
eye by the final image to the angle subtended at the eye by the object, when both the final image
and the object are situated at the least distance of distinct vision from the eye.
In Fig., C2 B" = d. Imagine the object AB to be shifted to Al B" so that it is at a distance d from the
eye. If A" C2 B" = and A1 C2 B" = , then by definition,
