1 Answer: c 1
Explanation: As the charge q is situated at the center of the circle ABCDE, therefore
the circle is an equipotential surface. That means all the points on the circle i.e. A, B,
C, D, and E have the same potential. Therefore, work done to bring the charge from
A to any point on the circle is zero always.
2 Answer: b 1
Explanation: Dipole moment P⃗ = 1C*5mm.
=5*10-3cm.
We know, electric field at a point on the axis of a dipole:
E⃗ =1/4πϵo2P⃗ r3[r=distance of the point from dipole]
1/4πϵoP=9*109, P=5*10-3, r=5*10-2 m.
∴ E⃗ = 2.66*1016 N⁄C

According to Coloumb's Law, we know that the Electrostatic potential energy is given as
U = {[1/(4Пξ₀)] × [(Ze × 2e)/r]} = [(2Ze²)/4Пξ₀r]
As Kinetic Energy is being converted to potentail energy, so
U = 4.5 MeV = (4.5×10⁶ × 1.6×10⁻¹⁹)J [1 MeV = 10⁶ eV and 1 eV = 1.6×10⁻¹⁹J]
1/(4Пξ₀) = 9×10⁹ N m²/C²
Z = 80
So, r = {[1/(4Пξ₀)] × [(Ze × 2e)/U]}
= [9×10⁹ × 2×80×(1.6×10⁻¹⁹)²]/[4.5×10⁶ × 1.6×10⁻¹⁹]
= 5.12×10⁻¹⁴ m )
5 Answer: b 1
Explanation: The SI unit of the magnetic field is tesla, named after the great scientist
Nikola tesla. 1 tesla is 107 times the magnetic field produced by a conducting wire of
length one metre and carrying a current of one ampere at a distance of one metre from it
and perpendicular to it.
6 Answer: b 1
Explanation: The material shown in the figure is a paramagnetic material. Paramagnetic
materials have a tendency to move from a region of weak magnetic field to strong
magnetic field, i.e., they get weakly attracted to a magnet.
7 Answer: d 1
Explanation: Given: G = 10 Ω; V = 2 V; Ig = 0.05 A
The required equation ➔ Ig = V(R+G)
0.05 = 2(R+10)
(R + 10) = 2/05=200/5 = 40
R = 40 – 10
R = 30 Ω
8 Answer: b 1
Explanation: Magnetic Lines of Force is a an imaginary line representing the direction of
magnetic field such that the tangent at any point is the direction of the field vector at that
point.
9 Answer: c 1
Explanation: Current in the primary of the transformer will get modified in the
transformer secondary, according to the number of turns, in inverse proportion. Thus,
turns are modified with 1/4 times the primary, we’ll get 4 times higher current at
secondary.
10 Answer: d 1
Explanation: The ratio of frequencies of UV rays and IR rays in the glass is more than
[Link] is because the frequency of UV rays is greater than that of infrared rays. This
situation is applicable in glass or vacuum or air.
11 Answer: c 1
Explanation: The formula for induced emf is: emf=Blv if B, l, v are perpendicular to each
other. Substituting the values of B, emf and v from the question, we get l=6.25m.

Explanation: The equation is given as:
rn = n2h2/4π2mkZe2.
From this, we can understand that rn is directly proportional to n2.
13 Answer (d) To photons of equal wavelength will have equal momentum (magnitude), but 1
direction of momentum may be different.

The surface which has same potential throughout is called an
equipotential surface.
Since work done is moving a test charge along an equipotential surface
is always zero.
When an electron moves around hydrogen nucleus, the electrostatic force 3
between electron and hydrogen nucleus provides necessary centrepetal force.

(a) (i) Principle: It is based on the principle of mutual inductance and
transforms the alternating low voltage to alternating high voltage and in this
the number of turns in secondary coil is more than that in primary coil. (i.
e.,NS > Np).
Working: When alternating current source is connected to the ends of primary
coil, the current changes continuously in the primary coil; due to which the
magnetic flux linked with the secondary coil changes continuously, therefore the
alternating emf of same frequency is developed across the secondary. Let Np be
the number of turns in primary coil, NS the number of turns in secondary coil and
f the magnetic flux linked with each turn. We assume that there is no leakage of
flux so that the flux linked with each turn of primary coil and secondary coil is the
same. According to Faraday’s laws the emf induced in the primary
(b) Reasons for energy losses in a transformer:
(i) Joule Heating: Energy is lost in resistance of
primary and secondary windings as heat (I2Rt
(ii) Flux Leakage: Energy is lost due to coupling of
primary and secondary coils not being perfect, i.e.,
whole of magnetic flux generated in primary coil is
not linked with the secondary coil.
(C ) When output voltage increases, the output current automatically decreases to keep
the power same. Thus, there is no violation of conservation of energy in a step up
