Q2.At the surface of a charged conductor, electrostatic field must be
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
Under static conditions, no current exists on the surface of a conductor. If the electric field at its surface is tangential or parallel to the surface, the tangential electric field would cause the charges to move on the surface of the conductor causing currents to flow on its surface. Therefore electrostatic field is always normal to the surface of a charged conductor at every point.
Q5.A rectangular current-carrying coil having n turns,area A and a current I flowing, in a uniform magnetic field B experiences a maximum ,torque equal to
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution: The torque experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is given by τ=NBIAsinθ.This has a maximum value whensinθ=1;sinθ=1
Q6.In a meter bridge experiment a balance point is obtained at a distance of 60 cm from the left end when unknown resistance R is in a left gap and 8 ohms resistor is connected in the right gap. When the position of R and 8 ohm resistor is interchanged the balance point will be at distance of
Answer : Option AExplaination / Solution:
R8=l(100−l)R8=6040so,8R=4060
The balance point when 8Ω is in the left gap will be 40 cm.
