Q1. The wiring for a refrigerator contains a starter capacitor. A voltage of amplitude 170 V and frequency 60.0 Hz applied across the capacitor is to produce a current amplitude of 0.850 A through the capacitor. Capacitance required is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:


Capacitance required


Q2. A potentiometer wire, 10 m long, has resistance 40 ohms. It is put in series with a resistance 760 ohms and connected to a 2 volt battery. The potential gradient in the wire is :
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The total resistance is the sum of the resistance of the potentiometer and the external resistance. 

Current through the potentiometer is


The potential drop across the potentiometer

The potential gradient = ( potential drop across the potentiometer)/ length of the potentiometer wire)


Q3. If the length of a simple pendulum is increases by 1percent, then the new time-period
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q4. For what distance is ray optics a good approximation when the aperture is 3 mm wide and the wavelength is 500 nm?
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q5. A cylinder of iron is placed so that it is free to rotate around its axis. Initially the cylinder is at rest, and a magnetic field is applied to the cylinder so that it is magnetized in a direction parallel to its axis. If the direction of the external field is suddenly reversed, the direction of magnetization will also reverse and the cylinder will begin rotating around its axis because
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q6. A bar magnet is equivalent to
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

A solenoid carrying current produces a magnetic field very similar to that of bar magnet. The magnetic field lines emerge from the ends of a solenoid and the number of field lines near its perpendicular bisector is almost equal to zero. A circular coil produces field along its axis. A straight conductor produces a magnetic field that can be represented by concentric circles. A toroid is a solenoid that has collapsed on itself. The field in a toroid is confined to the ring like region bounded by the toroid.

Q7. To provide the abundance of holes the impurity added should be
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

If We introduce a "Trivalent" (3-electron) impurity into the crystalline structure, such as Aluminium, Boron or Indium, which have only three valence electrons available in their outermost orbital, the fourth closed bond cannot be formed. Therefore, a complete connection is not possible, giving the semiconductor material an abundance of positively charged carriers known as "holes" in the structure of the crystal where electrons are effectively missing

Q8. A jet lands on an aircraft carrier at 60 m/s. What is its acceleration if it stops in 2.0 s?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 60 m/s

As it stops then final velocity v = 0 m/s

Time taken t = 2.0 s

We know,

v-u = at

=> 0-60= 2a

=> a = 

-ve sign shows velocity is decreasing.


Q9. If a star emitting orange light moves away from the earth, its color will
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q10.

It is desired to measure the magnitude of field between the poles of a powerful loud speaker magnet. A small flat search coil of area 2  with 25 closely wound turns, is positioned normal to the field direction, and then quickly snatched out of the field region. Equivalently, one can give it a quick  turn to bring its plane parallel to the field direction). The total charge flown in the coil (measured by a ballistic galvanometer connected to coil) is 7.5 mC. The combined resistance of the coil and the galvanometer is  . Field strength of magnet is


Answer : Option D
