Q1. Shunt resistance is added to the galvanometer
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

A shunt resistance of magnitude less than that of the galvanometer is added in parallel to the galvanometer to convert it into an ammeter. The equivalent resistance of a parallel combination is always less than the least value of the resistances in parallel. Ammeters are connected in series to the circuit to allow the entire current of the circuit to pass through them. Its resistance has to be very less- almost negligible, so that it does add on to the resistance in the circuit, thereby changing the current.

Q2. Dimensional analysis can be used to
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Dimensional Analysis (also called Factor-Label Method or the Unit Factor Method) is a problem-solving method that uses the fact that any number or expression can be multiplied by one without changing its value. It is a useful technique. Another use of dimensional analysis is in checking the correctness of an equation which you have derived after some algebraic manipulation. Even a minor error in algebra can be detected because it will often result in an equation which is dimensionally incorrect.

Q3. The ratio of the currents I1 when switch S is off and I2 when switch S is on is

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

When swithch S is off, both resistances are included in the circuit.



Q4. A particle of mass 10 g is executing simple harmonic motion with an amplitude of 0.5 m and periodic time of  seconds. The maximum value of the force acting on the particle is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Given , T= s

amplitude, x= 0.5 m

mass , m = 10g=0.01kg ,as we know that:

 

The maximum force is obtained at the maximum displacement i.e . amplitude 


The negative value of force shows the attractive nature.


Q5. In the single slit diffraction, the screen is at a large distance as compared to slit width, the different rays from the slit would be
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

the screen on which the fringes are formed is at a large distance. The two or more paths from the slits to the screen were treated as parallel. Parallel paths from the slit are combined at a single point on the screen. This arrangement is often used since it gives more intensity than placing the screen far away.

Q6. For strong electromagnets use is made of
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. Which of the following statements correct?
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

The acceleration due to gravity due to a body at point P on the surface of earth is

    -(1)

Let the body is placed to point Q at a height h abovr the surface of earth, then acceleration due to gravity:

  -(ii)

Dividing (i) & (ii), we get

gh

By simplifying and expanding through binomial theorem, we get


From above expression we can clearly say that with increase in altitiude h , the value of acceleration due to gravity decreases.


Q8. When the conductivity of a semiconductor is only due to breaking of the covalent bonds, the semiconductor is called
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

A pure semiconductor is called intrinsic semiconductor, e.g., silicon, germanium. The presence of the mobile charge carriers is the intrinsic property of the material. At room temperature, some covalent bonds are broken and electrons are made free. The absence of electron in the covalent bond form hole. The electrical conduction is by means of mobile electrons and holes. Hole act as positive charge, because it can attract an electron. If some other bond is broken and the electron thus freed fills this hole(vacancy), it seems as though the hole is moving. Actually an electron is travelling in opposite direction. In a pure(intrinsic) semiconductor, the number of holes is equal to the number of free electrons.

Q9. For motion with uniform acceleration, x-t graph is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

the slope of the x-t grpah will give you velocity. So, if u=0, the slope of graph at t=0 is 0.

for u>0 case, the initial slope is +ve and for negative u, the initial slope is negative now, s = ut + 0.5at2, where acceleration=a let initial position is x​​​​​​o,

x=x​​​​​​xo+ut+0.5at2 ,

Hence you will get parabolic shapes.


Q10. Standing waves are characterized by fixed locations of zero displacement called nodes and fixed locations of maximum displacements called antinodes. The separation between two consecutive nodes or antinodes is.
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
