1 Answer: c 1
Explanation: A charge always tries to move from a point of higher potential to a
point of lower potential. The potential at A is greater than the potential at B because
of electric potential decreases with distance from the charge. It can also be explained
by the fact that a positive charge is always repelled by another positive charge.
2 Answer: c 1
Explanation:
Due to the two-point charges +q and –q, two separate electric fields will be created at
point P. Now we can resolve the field in vertical and horizontal components shown in the
figure. If the point P is on the perpendicular bisector of the dipole, E1=E2. So their
vertical components cancel out and the resultant electric field has an only horizontal
component which is directed opposite to the dipole moment.
3 Ans d) more than 2V ( Stopping potential is inversely proportional to wavelength) 1
4 Ans: b) decreasing Kinetic energy 1
Explanation: As the distance of the closest approach is inversely proportional to the
kinetic energy of the incident α-particle, so the distance of the closest approach is halved
when the kinetic energy of α-particle is doubled.
5 Answer: b 1
Explanation: When a charge moves parallel or antiparallel to the direction of the magnetic
field, it experiences a minimum (zero) force.
When θ = 0o or 180o,
Fm = qvBsinθ = qvB (0) = 0.
6 Answer: b 1
Explanation: The expression, χ = Cμ0/T, is the correct expression for the Curie’s law. It
shows that, for a paramagnetic material, both χ and μ depend not only on the material, but
also on the sample temperature.
7 Answer: c 1
Explanation: In order to increase the range of an ammeter n times, the value of shunt
resistance to be connected in parallel is given by:
S = G(n–1)
In order to increase the range of voltmeter n times, the value of resistance to be connected
in series with galvanometer is given by:
R = (n – 1) G
8 Answer: d 1
Explanation: In atomic physics, the Bohr magneton (symbol μB) is a physical constant
and the natural unit for expressing the magnetic moment of an electron caused by either its
orbital or spin angular momentum. It is given by eh/4πm, where h is the Planck’s constant,
e is the charge of the electron and m is the mass of the electron.
9 Answer: b 1
Explanation: The energy transfer in a transformer, is from one winding to another, entirely
through magnetic medium it is known as transformer action. Therefore, transformer action
requires an alternating or time varying magnetic flux in order to transfer power from
primary side to secondary side. Since induced emf in the winding is due to flux linkage.
10 Answer: b 1
Explanation: Due to their smaller wavelength, microwaves are not bent by objects of
normal dimensions. So they can be used to beam signal in a particular direction.
Therefore, microwaves can be used for long-distance transmission of signals.
11 Answer: c 1
Explanation: The formula for induced emf is emf=Blv, where B is the magnetic field, l is
the length of the conductor and v is the velocity with which it is moving in the magnetic
field and all three quantities are mutually perpendicular to each other.
12 Answer: b 1
Explanation: For the first excited level, n = 2.
r2 = (2)2r0 = 4r0.
So, when a hydrogen atom is in its first excited level, its radius is 4 times of the Bohr
radius.
13 Answer (d) Total number of emitted photons depends on energy of each photon. The 1
energy of photons of two sources may be different.
14 Answer (b) Study of junction diode characteristics shows that the junction diode offers a 1
low resistance path, when forward biased and high resistance path when reverse biased.
This feature of the junction diode enables it to be used as a rectifier.
15 Answer (c) According to postulates of Bohr’s atom model the electron revolves around 1
the nucleus in fixed orbit of definite radii. As long as the electron is in a certain orbit it
does not radiate any energy.
16 Answer: C : The ray of light incident on the water air interface suffers total internal 1
reflections, in that case the angle of incidence is greater than the critical angle. Therefore,
if the tube is viewed from suitable direction (so that the angle of incidence is greater than
the critical angle), the rays of light incident on the tube undergoes total internal reflection.
As a result, the test tube appears as highly polished i.e. silvery

bias width of depletion layer and effective resistance increases.

18 Metal B will yield more photo electrons. Work function of Metal B is lower than that of A 1+1
for the same wavelength of light. Hence metal B will give more electrons.

Basic postulates of Bohr’s atomic model: 3
(i) Every atom consists of a central core called nucleus in which entire
24 positive charge and mass of the atom are concentrated. A suitable
number of electrons revolve around the nucleus in circular orbit. The
centripetal force required for revolution is provided by the electrostatic
force of attraction between the electron and the nucleus.
(ii) Electron can resolve only in certain discrete non-radiating orbits,
called stationary orbit. Total angular momentum of the revolving
electron in an integral multiple of h/2π.
… where [h is plank constant]
(iii) The radiation of energy occurs only when an electron jumps from
one permitted orbit to another. The difference in the total energy of
electron in the two permitted orbit is absorbed when the electron jumps
from inner to the outer orbit and emitted when electron jumps from
outer to inner orbit.
Radii of Bohr’s stationary orbits. According to Bohr’s postulates, angular
momentum of electron for any permitted orbit is,
Also, according to Bohr’s postulates, the centripetal force is equal to
electrostatic force between the electron and nucleus.

Ans.(a) Refractive index of the glass fibre,
Refractive index of the outer covering of the pipe, = 1.44
Angle of incidence = i
Angle of refraction = r
Angle of incidence at the interface = i‘
The refractive index of the inner core – outer core interface is given as:
For the critical angle, total internal reflection (TIR) takes place only when ,
i.e.,
Maximum angle of reflection,
Let, be the maximum angle of incidence.
The refractive index at the air – glass interface,
We have the relation for the maximum angles of incidence and reflection as:
Thus, all the rays incident at angles lying in the range will suffer
total internal reflection.
(b) If the outer covering of the pipe is not present, then:
Refractive index of the outer pipe, = Refractive index of air =1
For the angle of incidence , we can write Snell’s law at the air – pipe
interface as:
Since > r, All incident rays will suffer total internal reflection
