Q1
An electron, an alpha-particle and a proton have the same kinetic energy. Which one of these particles have the largest de-broglie wavelength? Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
The de-broglie wavelength is given by
Since electron has the smallest mass, it will have the longest de-broglie wavelength. -
Q2
The radioactive isotope D decays according to the sequence, 
If the mass number and atomic number of D2 are 176 and 71, respectively, what is
(i) the mass number, and(ii) atomic number of D? Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
We can represent the above equation as follows:- 
Therefore,
(i) Mass number of D=172.
(ii)Atomic number of D=70. -
Q3
What will be the values of input A and B for the Boolean expression
Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
Substituting the value of A & B = 0 we get, 
A=0 and B=0. -
Q4
Why is frequency modulation preferred over amplitude modulation for transmission of music? Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
We prefer frequency modulation over amplitude modulation, because of its higher fidelity reception. -
Q5
Why should the material used for making permanent magnets have high coercivity ? Marks:1View AnswerAnswer:
The magnetisation of highly coercive material is not disturbed by stray magnetic field or temperature variation. Therefore we use this type of material for making permanent magnets. -
Q6

The truth table of the above circuit is given as follows:- A B Y’=A+B 
0 0 0 1 0 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 -
Q7
Draw a plot of potential energy of a pair of nucleons as a function of their separation. What is the significance of negative potential energy in the graph drawn? Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
The plot of potential energy for a pair of nucleons as a function of their separation is given below, 
The significance of negative potential energy is that it represents the force of attraction between the pair of nucleons. -
Q8

Q9
Distinguish between the terms ‘average value’ and ‘rms’ value of an alternating current. The instantaneous current from an a.c. source is I = 5 sin (314 t) ampere. What are the average and rms values of the current? Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
Average value of a.c:- Average value of alternating current may be defined as that value of steady state current which would send the same amount of charge through a circuit in the time of half cycle as is sent by the ac through the same circuit in the same time.
The average value of the a.c is given by the equation, 
R.M.S value of a.c:- The root mean square value of alternating current may be defined as that value of direct current that produces the same heating effect in a given resistor as is produced by the given alternating current when passed for the same time.
The r.m.s of a.c is given by the relation, Irms = Io/ 
2Numerical:- Given that, I = 5 sin (314 t) ---------(I) To find out, Iav = ? and Irms = ? Comparing equation (I) with the standard equation,

Q10
Write the relation for the force 
acting on a charge carrier q moving with velocity 
through a magnetic field 
in vector notation. Using this relation, deduce the conditions under which this force will be (i) maximum (ii) minimum.Marks:2View AnswerAnswer:
The force acting on a charge carrier q moving with velocity through a magnetic field in vector notation is given by relation,
The above equation can also be written as,
(i) The force will be maximum when;Substituting, 
Hence magnitude of force is maximum, when 
.(ii) The force will be maximum when; Subsituting, 
Hence magnitude of force will be minimum, when
