Q1. In a Wheatstone’s bridge, P = 9 ohms, Q = 11 ohms, R = 4 ohms and S = 6 ohms. How much resistance must be put in parallel to the resistance S to balance the wheatstone bridge?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Let a resistance M be put in parallel to S and the equivalent resistance of the parallel combination be X. In the bridge balance condition 


In the parallel combination of S and M,



Q2. A short bar magnet placed with its axis at  with a uniform external magnetic field of 0.25 T experiences a torque of magnitude equal to J. What is the magnitude of magnetic moment of the magnet?
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q3. Two straight horizontal parallel wires are carrying the same current in the same direction, d is the distance between the wires. You are provided with a small freely suspended magnetic needle. At which of the following positions will the orientation of the needle be independent of the magnitude of the current in the wires
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Consider two wires carrying current in the same direction as shown. The current acts inwards to the plane of the screen. The magnetic field lines are in the plane of the screen and are concentric circles. At the point midway between the wires, the field lines are directed opposite to each other. The magnetic fields due to

the two wires are directed opposite to each other. They also have the same magnitude since the wires carry currents of equal magnitude. At a distance d/2, in the horizontal plane, the net magnetic field is zero. A magnetic needle placed at this point experiences no force. The orientation of the needle becomes independent of the current in the wires

Q4. For forward biasing a P-N junction the positive terminal of the battery is connected to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Biasing is the application of a voltage across a p–n junction.

When we connect p-type region of a junction with the positive terminal of a voltage source and n-type region with the negative terminal of the voltage source, then the junction is said to be forward biased.

At this condition, due to the attraction of positive terminal of source, electrons which participated in covalent bond creations in p-type material, will be attracted towards the terminal.


Q5. An 8255 chip is interfaced to an 8085 microprocessor system as an I/O mapped I/O as show in the figure. The address lines A0 and A1 of the 8085 are used by the 8255 chip to decode internally its thee ports and the Control register. The address lines A3 to A as well as the  signal are used for address decoding. The range of addresses for which the 8255 chip would get selected is

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:


                                     

Q6. In the measurement of resistance by a metre bridge, the current is necessarily reversed through the bridge wire to eliminate
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

The connecting metal strips include a small resistance in the circuit called the end resistance. On reversing the current, the end resistance tends to get cancelled out.

Q7.
Consider the following two statements about the internal conditions in a n - channel MOSFET operating in the active region.
S1 : The inversion charge decreases from source to drain
S2 : The channel potential increases from source to drain.
Which of the following is correct?
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

Both S1 and S2 are true and S2 is a reason for S1.

Q8. When a capacitor is connected to a battery
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

When an uncharged capacitor is connected to a battery, charges flow from the poles of the battery to the plates of the capacitor and this process continues till the potential across the capacitor attains the potential difference of the battery. The current flows in the circuit till the time the capacitor is charged and then it ceases.

Q9. A load is supplied by a 230 V, 50 Hz source. The active power P and the reactive power Q consumed by the load are such that 1 kW ≤ P ≤ 2kW and 1kVAR ≤ Q ≤ kVAR . A capacitor connected across the load for power factor correction generates 1 kVAR reactive power. The worst case power factor after power factor correction is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:



Q10.

Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
