2. How does the mutual inductance of a pair of coils change when

(i) distance between the coils is increased and

(ii) number of turns in the coils is increased? 1

Ans. (i) As, = MI, with the increase in the distance between the coils the magnetic flux

linked with the secondary coil decreases and hence the mutual inductance of the twocoils will decrease.

(ii) Mutual inductance of two coils can be found out by, M = on1n2Al, i.e. M n1n2, so, with the increase in number of turns mutual inductance increases.

3. The graph shown in the figure represents a plot of current versus voltage for a

given semiconductor. Identify the region, if any, over which the semiconductorhas a negative resistance. 1

5. The motion of copper plate is damped when it is allowed to oscillate between the

two poles of a magnet. What is the cause of this damping? 1

Ans. As the copper plates oscillate in the magnetic field between the two poles of themagnet, there is a continuous change of magnetic field flux linked with the

pendulum. Due to this, eddy currents are set up in the copper plate which try tooppose the motion of the pendulum according to the Lenzs law and finally bringit to rest.

9. Draw typical output characteristics of an n-p-n transistor in CE configuration.

Show how these characteristics can be used to determine output resistance. 2

Ans. Output characteristics is the plot between collector-emitter voltage (VCE) and the

collector current (IC) at different constant values of base current (IB).

Output resistance is defined as the ratio of the change in collector-emitter voltage (VCE)

to the change in collector current (IC) at a constant base current (IB).

Initially with the increase in VCE the collector current increases almost linearly this is

because the junction is not reverse biased. When the supply is more than required to

reverse bias the base-collector junction, IC increases very little with VCE.

The reciprocal of slope of the linear part of the curve gives the value of output resistance

13. Explain the term drift velocity of electrons in conductor. Hence obtain the

expression for the current through a conductor in terms of drift velocity. 2

OR

Describe briefly, with the help of a circuit diagram, how a potentiometer is usedto determine the internal resistance of a cell.

Ans. Drift velocity of electrons in a conductor: Metals contain a large number of free

electrons. These electrons are in continuous random motion. Due to the random motion,

the free electrons collide with positive metal ions with high frequency and undergo

change in direction at each collision. So the average velocity for the electrons in a

conductor is zero.

Now, when this conductor is connected to a source of emf, an electric field is established

in the conductor, such that E = V/L

Where V= potential difference across the conductor and L = length of the conductor.The electric field exerts an electrostatic force -Ee on each free electron in the conductor.

The acceleration of each electron is given by

eEa

m

Where e = electric charge on electron and m = mass of electron

The negative sign indicates that the force and hence the acceleration is in a direction

opposite to the direction of the electric field. Due to this acceleration, the electrons attain

a velocity in addition to thermal velocity in the direction opposite to that of electric field.

The average velocity of all the free electrons in the conductor is called the drift velocity

of free electrons of the conductor.

Thus, the expression for the drift velocity is

21. Draw V I characteristics of a p-n junction diode. Answer the following

questions, giving reasons:

(i) Why is the current under reverse bias almost independent of the applied

potential up to a critical voltage?(ii) Why does the reverse current show a sudden increase at the critical

voltage?

Name any semiconductor device which operates under the reverse bias in the

breakdown region. 3

Ans. V-I characteristic of p-n junction diode:

(i) Under the reverse bias condition, the holes of p-side are attracted towards the negative

terminal of the battery and the electrons of the n-side are attracted towards the positive

terminal of the battery. This increases the depletion layer and the potential barrier.However the minority charge carriers are drifted across the junction producing a small

current. At any temperature the number of minority carriers is constant so there is thesmall current at any applied potential. This is the reason for the current under reverse biasto be almost independent of applied potential. At the critical voltage, avalanche

breakdown takes place which results in a sudden flow of large current.

(ii) At the critical voltage, the holes in the n-side and conduction electrons in the p-side

are accelerated due to the reversebias voltage. These minority carriers acquire sufficientkinetic energy from the electric field and collide with a valence electron. Thus the bond is

finally broken and the valence electrons move into the conduction band resulting in

8/13/2019 Physics 2013 Set 1

enormous flow of electrons and thus formation of hole-electron pairs. Thus there is a

sudden increase in the current at the critical voltage.

Zener diode is a semiconductor device which operates under the reverse bias in

the breakdown region.

Limitations of refracting telescope over reflecting type telescope:

(NOTE: Write any two)(i) Refracting telescope suffers from chromatic aberration as it uses large sized

lenses.

(ii) The image formed by refracting telescope is less brighter than the image formedby the reflecting type telescope due to some loss of light by reflection at the lens

and by absorption.

(iii) The resolving power of refracting telescope is less than the resolving power of

reflecting type telescope as the mirror of reflecting type telescope has largediameter.

(iv) The requirements of big lenses tend to be very heavy and therefore difficult to

The two characteristic properties of photons on which this equation is based are asfollows:

(i) Photons have particle characteristic. It is emitted or absorbed in units called quanta of

light.(ii) Photons have wave characteristic. It travels in space with particular frequency, a

characteristic of waves.

Three observed features which can be explained by this equation are:

(i) Solar cells: Also called photo-voltaic cells. It converts solar radiations to electricalemf.

(ii) Television telecast: The dark and bright light part of images are interpreted as highand low electrical charges as given by photoelectric emission principle. These are

further processed and transmitted.(iii) Burglar alarm: The moment the ultraviolet radiation is cut due to theif, it stops the

supply of photons and thus works as off mode and the ring bells automatically.

25. (a) What is linearly polarized light? Describe briefly using a diagram how

sunlight is polarised.(b) Unpolarised light is incident on a polaroid. How would the intensity of

transmitted light change when the polaroid is rotated? 3

Ans. (a) Natural light is unpolarised i.e. the electric vector takes all possible directions in

the transverse plane, rapidly and randomly, during a measurement. A polarizer

transmits only one component (parallel to a special axis). This resulting light is

called linear or plane polarized.

The incident sunlight is unpolarised. The dot and double arrows show the

polarization in the perpendicular and in the plane of the figure. Under the

influence of the electric field of the incident wave, the electrons in the moleculesof the atmosphere acquire components of motion in both these directions. An

observer looking at 90 to the direction of the sun, the charges accelerating

parallel to the double arrows do not radiate energy towards this observer sincetheir acceleration has no transverse component. The radiation scattered by the

8/13/2019 Physics 2013 Set 1

molecule is therefore represented by dots. It is linearly polarized perpendicular to

the plane of the figure.

(b) If the unpolarised light is incident on a Polaroid the intensity is reduced by half.

Even if the Polaroid is rotated by angle the average over cos2 = . Thus from

Malus law: I = I0cos2

Or, = < I0cos2

> = I0< cos2

> = I0/2Thus, the intensity of the transmitted light remains unchanged when thePolaroid is rotated.

Figure shows a sectional view of the toroid. The direction of the magnetic field

inside is clockwise as per the right-hand thumb rule for circular loops. Three

circular Amperian loops 1, 2 and 3 are shown by dashed lines.

By symmetry, the magnetic field should be tangential to each of them andconstant in magnitude for a given loop.

Let the magnetic field inside the toroid beB. We shall now consider the magneticfield at S. Once again we employ

Amperes law in the form of,

0B.dl I

Or, BL = 0NI

Where, L is the length of the loop for which B is tangential, I be the current

enclosed by the loop and N be the number of turns.We find, L = 2r.

The current enclosedI is (forN turns of toroidal coil)N I.

B (2r) = 0NI , therefore,0NIB

2 r

Open space inside the toroid encloses no current thus, I = 0.Hence, B = 0

Open space exterior to the toroid:Each turn of current carrying wire is cut twice by the loop 3. Thus, the current

coming out of the plane of the paper is cancelled exactly by the current going into

it. Thus,I= 0, and B = 0.

The combination of crossed electric and magnetic fields is used to increase the

energy of the charged particle. Cyclotron uses the fact that the frequency of

revolution of the charged particle in a magnetic field is independent of its energy.

Inside the dees the particle is shielded from the electric field and magnetic fieldacts on the particle and makes it to go round in a circular path inside a dee. Every

time the particle moves from one dee to the other it comes under the influence ofelectric field which ensures to increase the energy of the particle as the sign of theelectric field changed alternately. The increased energy increases the radius of the

circular path so the accelerated particle moves in a spiral path.

Ans. (a) Electric dipole moment: The strength of an electric dipole is measured by the

quantity electric dipole moment. Its magnitude is equal to the product of the

magnitude of either charge and the distance between the two charges.Electric dipole moment, p = q d

It is a vector quantity.

In vector form it is written as

p q d , where the direction ofd is from negative

charge to positive charge.
