How will the image formed by a convex lens be affected if the central portion of the lens is wrapped in a black paper?
  • A
    No image is formed by the remaining portion of the lens
  • B
    Full image will be formed but will be less bright
  • C
    Two images will be formed
  • D
    Central portion of the image will be absent
Answer
(b) Full image will be formed but will be less bright
Explanation: Image will be formed at the same position and same height but intensity of image formed will be less hence its brightness will be less as less number of light rays will form the image. Light rays from the covered portion will not contribute to image formation.

MCQ 31 Mark
A convex lens is dipped in a liquid whose refractive index is equal to the refractive index of the lens. Then its focal length will:
  • A
    Become infinite
  • B
    Become zero
  • C
    Reduce
  • D
    Remain same as in air
Answer
(a) Become infinite
Explanation: $\frac{1}{f}=\left(\frac{\mu_2}{\mu_1}-1\right)\left(\frac{1}{R_1}-\frac{1}{R_2}\right)$
Since, $\mu_2=\mu_1$, 
$\frac{1}{f}=0$, hence $f=\infty$

MCQ 41 Mark
If the percentage change in current through a resistor is 1%, then the change in power through it would be:
  • A
    0.5%
  • B
    1 %
  • C
    2%
  • D
    1.7%
Answer
(c) $2 \%$
Explanation: Power, $P = I ^2 R$
$\begin{array}{l}\therefore \frac{\Delta P}{P} \times 100
=2 \frac{\Delta I}{I} \times 100+\frac{\Delta R}{R} \times 100 \\ =2 \times 1 \%+0=2 \%\end{array}$

MCQ 51 Mark
In Young's double-slit experiment, the intensity of light at a point on the screen where the path difference is $\lambda$ is k ( $\lambda$ being the wavelength of light used). The intensity at a point where the path difference is $\frac{\lambda}{4}$, will be
  • A
    k
  • B
    $\frac{k}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{k}{2}$
  • D
    zero
Answer
(c) $\frac{k}{2}$
Explanation: Path difference $\lambda$ implies a maximum, so $I _{\max }= k$
$\begin{array}{l}I=I_{\max } \cos ^2 \frac{\phi}{2}=k \cos ^2\left(\frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \cdot \frac{\lambda}{4}\right) \\ 
=k \cos ^2 \frac{\pi}{4}=k\left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right)^2=\frac{k}{2}\end{array}$

  • A
    two times
  • B
    half
  • C
    unchanged
  • D

MCQ 81 Mark
The resistance of a galvanometer is $50 \Omega$ and the current required to give full scale deflection is $100 \mu A$. In order to convert it into an ammeter for reading up to 10 A , it is necessary to put a resistance of
  • A
    $5 \times 10^{-2} \Omega$
  • B
    $5 \times 10^{-5} \Omega$
  • C
    $5 \times 10^{-4} \Omega$
  • D
    $5 \times 10^{-3} \Omega$
Answer
(c) $5 \times 10^{-4} \Omega$
Explanation: $I _{ g }=10^{-4} A$
$\begin{array}{l} I =10 A ; G =50 \Omega \\ 
S=\frac{I_g \times G}{\left(I-I_g\right)} \\ 
=5 \times 10^{-4} \Omega\end{array}$

Three condensers of capacity $2 \mu F, 4 \mu F$ and $8 \mu F$ respectively, are first connected in series and then connected in parallel. The ratio of the equivalent capacitance in the two cases will be
  • A
    7:3
  • B
    3:7
  • C
    4:49
  • D
    49:4
Answer
(c) $4: 49$
Explanation: $\frac{1}{C_s}=\frac{1}{C_1}+\frac{1}{C_2}+\frac{1}{C_3}=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{8}=\frac{7}{8} ; C_s=\frac{8}{7} \mu F$;
$\begin{array}{l}C_p=C_1+C_2+C_3=2+4+8=14 \mu F \\ 
\frac{C_s}{C_p}=\frac{\frac{8}{7}}{14}=\frac{4}{49}\end{array}$

MCQ 101 Mark
A semi-circular arc of radius 'a' is charged uniformly and the charge per unit lengths is $\lambda$. The electric field at the centre is:
  • A
    $\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 a^2}$
  • B
    $\frac{\lambda}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a}$
  • C
    $\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 a}$
  • D
    $\frac{\lambda^2}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 a}$
Answer
(c) $\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 \alpha}$
Explanation: $\lambda=$ linear charge density;
Charge on elementary portions is given by $dq =\lambda dx$
Image

Electric field at O is given by, $d E=\frac{\lambda d x}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a^2}$
Horizontal electric field, i.e., perpendicular to AO, will cancelled.
Hence, net electric field = addition of all electrical fields in direction of AO
$\begin{array}{l}=\sum dE \cos \theta \\ 
\Rightarrow E=\int \frac{\lambda d x}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a ^2} \cos \theta\end{array}$
Also, $d \theta=\frac{ d x}{ a }$ or $dx = ad \theta$
$\begin{array}{l}E=\int_{-\pi / 2}^{\pi / 2} \frac{\lambda \cos \theta d \theta}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a}=\frac{\lambda}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a}[\sin \theta]_{-\pi / 2}^{\frac{\pi}{2}} \\ 
=\frac{\lambda}{4 \pi \varepsilon_0 a}[1-(-1)]=\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \varepsilon_0 a}\end{array}$

MCQ 111 Mark
A frog can be levitated in a magnetic field produced by a current in a vertical solenoid placed below the frog. This is possible, because the body of the frog behaves as
  • A
    paramagnetic
  • B
    ferromagnetic
  • C
    anti-ferromagnetic
  • D
    diamagnetic
Answer
(d) diamagnetic
Explanation: To levitate a body, a force must be applied on it which at least balances the body's weight. Since weight will always pull the frog down, the magnetic force on the frog due to the vertical solenoid placed below it must act in the upward direction. Thus, the frog is repelled by the magnetic field. Diamagnetic substances are the only substances which are repelled by a magnetic field. This shows that the body of the frog behaves diamagnetically.
