Q1
Two electric field lines never cross each other. Why? Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Two electric field of lines never cross each other since it would imply two direction of electric field at the point of their intersection which is not possible practically. -
Q2
Under what conditions is the force acting on a charge moving through a uniform magnetic field minimum? Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
The force acting on charge is minimum or zero when charges move parallel or antiparallel to the direction of magnetic field. -

Q7
How does the resistivity of (i) a conductor and (ii) a semiconductor vary with temperature? Give reason for each case. Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
The mathematical relation for the resistivity of a material in terms of relaxation time, number density and mass and charge of charge carriers is given by relation,
= m/ne2
1. Resistivity of metal : Resistivity of metal will decrease with increase in temperature. This is because free electrons collide more frequently with positive metal ions, which results in decrease of relaxation time. This ultimately increases resistivity of metal.
2. Resistivity of semiconductors : In this case the number density (n) of free electron increases exponentially, with temperature, which results in decrease of resistivity. -
