  • Q2

    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 semiconductor has a negative resistance.

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    Resistance of a material can be determined by the slope of the curve formed between voltage V and current I. Here, portion BC indicates the negative resistance.

  • Q4

    The motion of copper plates is damped when it is allowed to oscillate between the two poles of a magnet. If slots are cut in the plate, how will the damping be affected?

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    The motion of copper plate is damped due to eddy currents which are generated inside the plate. If slots are cut in the plate then the damping will reduce which means eddy currents are reduced.

    How does the mutual inductance of a pair of coils change when
    (i) Distance between the coils is decreased and
    (ii) Number of turns in the coils is decreased?

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    (i) On decreasing the distance between the coils, magnetic flux linked with secondary coil due to current flowing through the primary coil will increase. Hence mutual inductance of the coil will also increase.

     

    (ii)

    Welders wear special goggles or face masks with glass windows to protect their eyes from electromagnetic radiations. Name the radiations and write the range of their frequency.

    Marks:1
    Answer:

    Welder uses some unique goggles with glass windows to shield the eyes from harmful ultra violet radiations (UV rays). The range of UV rays is 4×10-7 m (400nm) to 6×10-10 m (0.6nm).

  • Q10

    Explain the term ‘drift velocity’ of electrons in a conductor. Hence obtain the expression for the current through a conductor in terms of ‘drift velocity’.

    Marks:2
    Answer:

    Drift Velocity: The average velocity with which the free electrons drift towards the positive end of the conductor under the influence of an electric field is known as the drift velocity of electrons.

    Relation between Drift Velocity and Current: Consider a conductor (say a copper wire) of length l and uniform area of cross-section A.
