MCQ
The nature of electromagnetic wave is :-
  • A
    longitudinal
  • B
    longitudinal stationary
  • transverse
  • D
    transverse stationary

Answer

Correct option: C.
transverse
c
Electromagnetic waves are transverse. The are moving with a certain phase velocity $v =\frac{\omega}{ k }$. Thus they are not stationary.

An emf of $20\; \mathrm{V}$ is applied at time $\mathrm{t}=0$ to a circuit containing in series $10\; \mathrm{mH}$ inductor and $5 \;\Omega$ resistor. The ratio of the currents at time $\mathrm{t}=\infty$ and at $t=40\; s$ is close to : (Take $e^{2}=7.389$ )
A parallel plate capacitor is made of two plates of length $l$, width $w$ and separated by distance $d$. A dielectric slab ( dielectric constant $K$) that fits exactly between the plates is held near the edge of the plates. It is pulled into the capacitor by a force $F = -\frac{{\partial U}}{{\partial x}}$ where $U$ is the energy of the capacitor when dielectric is inside the capacitor up to distance $x$ (See figure). If the charge on the capacitor is $Q$ then the force on the dielectric when it is near the edge is
