MCQ
Identify the correct statement from the following.
  • A
    While traversing in a closed loop, if negative pole of cell is encountered first, then the emf is negative.
  • B
    The product of resistance and current in an arm is taken to be positive if the direction of current is opposite to the direction in which one moves along the closed loop.
  • C
    Current flowing away from a junction is taken as positive.
  • While traversing in a closed loop, if positive pole of cell is encountered first, then the emf is positive.

Answer

Correct option: D.
While traversing in a closed loop, if positive pole of cell is encountered first, then the emf is positive.
According to sign convention while traversing a closed loop $($in clockwise or anti$-$clockwise direction$)$, if positive pole of the cell is encountered first then its emf is negative or else, it will be positive.

Three identical capacitors $\mathrm{C}_1, \mathrm{C}_2$ and $\mathrm{C}_3$ have a capacitance of $1.0 \mu \mathrm{F}$ each and they are uncharged initially. They are connected in a circuit as shown in the figure and $\mathrm{C}_1$ is then filled completely with a dielectric material of relative permittivity $\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}$. The cell electromotive force (emf) $V_0=8 \mathrm{~V}$. First the switch $S_1$ is closed while the switch $S_2$ is kept open. When the capacitor $C_3$ is fully charged, $S_1$ is opened and $S_2$ is closed simultaneously. When all the capacitors reach equilibrium, the charge on $\mathrm{C}_3$ is found to be $5 \mu \mathrm{C}$. The value of $\varepsilon_{\mathrm{r}}=$. . . .
