Question
Solve the previous problem if the paperweight is inverted at its place so that the spherical surface touches the paper.
✓
Answer
Thickness of glass $=3\text{cm}, \ \mu_{\text{g}}=1.5$
Image shif $=3\Big(1-\frac{1}{1.5}\Big)$
[Treating it as a simple refraction problem because the upper surface is flat and the spherical surface is in contact with the object]
$=3\times\frac{0.5}{1.5}=1\text{cm}.$
The image will appear 1 cm above the point P.

A cylindrical bar magnet is kept along the axis of a circular coil and near it as shown in figure. Will there be any induced emf at the terminals of the coil, when the magnet is rotated:
- About its own axis.
- About an axis perpendicular to the length of the magnet?
For the potentiometer circuit shown in the given figure, points X and Y represent the two terminals of an unknown emf E'. A student observed that when the jockey is moved from the end A to the end B of the potentiometer wire, the deflection in the galvanometer remains in the same direction.
What may be the two possible faults in the circuit that could result in this observation? If the galvanometer deflection at the end B is (i) more, (ii) less than at the end A, which of the two faults, listed above, would be there in the circuit? Give reason in support of your answer in each case.

A resistance $\text{R}=4\Omega$ is connected to one of the gaps in a meter bridge, which uses a wire of length 1m. An unknown resistance $\text{x}>4\Omega$ is connected in the other gap as shown in the figure. The balance point is noticed at ‘l’ cm from the positive end of the battery. On interchanging R and X, it is found that the balance point further shifts by 20cm (away from the end A). Neglecting the end correction calculate the value of unknown resistance ‘X’ used.
