Question
Write the underlying principle of a moving coil galvanometer.

Answer

A current carrying coil, in the presence of magnetic field, experiences a torque, which produces proportionate deflection.

Alternate Answer

[(deflection) $\theta \alpha\tau$ (Torque)]

One of your friends argues that he has read in the previous chapters that there can be no electric field inside a conductor. And hence there can be no current through it. What is the fallacy of this argument?
Which forces does a stationary charge produce? If the charge moves with uniform velocity then?
Two converging lenses of unequal focal lengths can be used to reduce the aperture of a parallel beam of light without losing the energy of the light. This increases the intensity. Describe how the converging lenses should be placed to do this.
Show that the minimum energy needed to separate a proton from a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons is:
$\Delta\text{E}=(\text{M}_{\text{Z}-1,\text{N}}+\text{M}_{\text{H}}-\text{M}_{\text{Z,N}})\text{c}^2$
where MZ,N = mass of an atom with Z protons and N neutrons in the nucleus and MH = mass of a hydrogen atom. This energy is known as proton-separation energy.
