Q1.
Two protons move parallel to each other with equal speeds 3 x 105 ms-1. The ratio of magnetic and electric force between them is

Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

The approximate ratio of the forces is equal to the ratio of their constants,and
Q2. A small town with a demand of 800 kW of electric power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5 ΩΩ per km. The town gets power from the line through a 4000-220 V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town. Line power loss in the form of heat is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Total  electric power required,  P =  800 kW

supply voltage V = 220 volt

voltage at which electric plant generating power V1 = 440 volt

distance between town and power generating station, d = 15 km

total resistance of two wire cable R = (15+15) x 0.5 = 15 ohm

input voltage of transformer Vi = 4000 volt

output voltage of transformer Vo = 220 volt

current in wire line 


line power loss 


Q3.

For the given circuit , with cell e m f = 10 V and internal resistance = , which of the following is correct?

Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The circuit is reduced to find equivalent resistance as follows;





In (1), 2Ω, 4 Ω, and 2 Ω are in series. Their equivalent resistance is 8 Ω. In (2), the two 8 Ω resistors are in parallel and their equivalent resistance is 4 Ω. In (3) 2 Ω, 4 Ω, and 2 Ω are in series. Their equivalent resistance is 8 Ω which is in parallel with the 8 Ω resistance as shown in (4). The total resistance in the circuit

R= 3+4+2+1( internal resistance)=10 Ω. The current through the 3 Ω resistor

I = E/R = 10/10

I = 1A



Q4. For a particle executing S.H.M having amplitude a, the speed of the particle is one-half of its maximum speed when its displacement from the mean position is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q5. We say that a light wave is linearly polarized in y direction if
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The displacement of electric field vector takes place along y axis for linearly polarised light along same direction though the direction of wave is at right angle to electric field vector.

Q6. Assuming one unpaired electron spin per atom, saturation magnetization in a long cylinder of iron is(n for iron is atoms/m3,Bohr magneton 
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. The potential barrier in the depletion layer is due to
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:

When p-n junction is formed, the electrons from n-region diffuse through the junction into p-region provide positive ions in n-region similarly holes from p-region diffuse into n-region provide negative ions in p-region. Due to these ions, an electric field is set up across the junction from positive ions to negative ions. This electric field sets a potential barrier at the junction.

Q8. SI unit of acceleration is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object with respect to time.

a = 

SI unit of velocity = m/s

SI unit of time = s

So SI unit of acceleration = 


Q9. A certain broadcasting station broadcasts at frequency of 12 Mega Hz. The wavelength of waves emitted is
Answer : Option D
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q10. Applying Kirchhoff’s first rule (junction rule) valid at each plate of the capacitor

Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.
