MCQ 21 Mark

The given circuit has two ideal diodes connected as shown in the figure below. The current flowing through the resistance $R _1$ will be

✓
$2.5 A$
B
$10.0 A$
C
$1.43 A$
D
$3.13 A$

Answer

Correct option: A.

$2.5 A$

$D_1$ is reverse biased and $D_2$ is forward biased.
$D_1$ blocks current.
Hence, Current will flow through $10 V$ cell, $R _1, D _2$ and $R _3$.
$\therefore I =\frac{\varepsilon}{R_1+R_3}$
$=\frac{10 V}{(2+2) \Omega}$
$=2.5 A$

Point charges $+4 q,-q$ and $+4 q$ are kept on the $X$-axis at points $x=0, x=a$ and $x=2$ a respectively:

A
all the charges are in unstable equilibrium
B
all the charges are in stable equilibrium
C
none of the charges is in equilibrium
D
only - q is in stable equilibrium

Answer

(a) all the charges are in unstable equilibrium
Explanation: The net force on each charge is zero. Therefore, all the charges are in equilibrium. If we slightly displace the charge -q to the right, the net force of attraction will further displace it to the right i.e., away from its mean positive. The equilibrium is, therefore, unstable.

Consider sunlight incident on a slit of width $10^4$ A. The image seen through the slit shall

A
only be a diffused slit white in colour
B
a bright slit white at the center diffusing to regions of different colours
C
a bright slit white at the center diffusing to zero intensities at the edges
D
be a fine sharp slit white in colour at the center

Answer

(d) be a fine sharp slit white in colour at the center
Explanation: Width of slit $10^4 \stackrel{o}{A}=10,000 \stackrel{o}{A}$
Wavelength of visible light varies from 4000 to 8000$\stackrel{o}{A}$ . As the width of slit 10000 $\stackrel{o}{A}$ is comparable to that of wavelength of visible light i.e. 8000 $\stackrel{o}{A}$ . Hence the diffraction occurs with maxima at the centre. So at the centre all colours appear ,mixing of colors forms white colour at the centre.

MCQ 51 Mark

The susceptibility of a paramagnetic material is $\chi$ at $27^{\circ} C$. At what temperature will its susceptibility be $\frac{\chi}{2}$ ?

A
$54^{\circ} C$
B
$327^{\circ} C$
C
$237^{\circ} C$
D
$1600^{\circ} C$

Answer

(b) $327^{\circ} C$
Explanation: $\frac{\chi_2}{\chi_1}=\frac{T_2}{T_1}$
$T _2=\frac{\chi_1}{\chi_2} \cdot T_1=\frac{\chi}{\chi / 2}(273+27) K =600 K=327^{\circ} C$

MCQ 61 Mark

Two coils have a mutual inductance 0.005 H. The current changes in the first coil according to equation $I = I _0 \sin$ $\Omega t$, where $I _0=10 A$ and $\omega=100 \pi rad s ^{-1}$. The maximum value of emf in the second coil is

A
$12 \pi$
B
$2 \pi$
✓
$5 \pi$
D
$6 \pi$

Answer

Correct option: C.

$5 \pi$

$\varepsilon=M \frac{d I}{d t}$
$=M \frac{d}{d t}\left[I_0 \sin \omega t\right]=M I_0 \omega \cos \omega t$
$E _{\max }=M I_0 \omega[\text { Max. value of } \cos \omega t=1]$
$=0.005 \times 10 \times 100 \pi=5 \pi V$

MCQ 71 Mark

A galvanometer of resistance $25\Omega $ galvanometer is given by a $2.5\Omega $ wire. The part of total current $I _0$ that flows through the galvanometer is given by

A
$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{2}{11}$
B
$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{4}{11}$
✓
$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{1}{11}$
D
$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{3}{11}$

Answer

Correct option: C.

$\frac{I}{I_0}=\frac{1}{11}$

$I=\frac{I_o \times 2.5}{(25+2.5)}=I_o \times \frac{25}{275}=\frac{1}{11} \times I_o$
$\Rightarrow \frac{ I }{ I _0}=\frac{1}{11}$

MCQ 81 Mark

The electrostatic force between the metal plates of an isolated parallel capacitor C having a charge Q and area A is:

A
independent of the distance between the plates
B
inversely proportional to the distance between the plates
C
proportional to the square root of the distance between the plates
D
linearly proportional to the distance between the plates

Answer

(a) independent of the distance between the plates
Explanation: $F=Q E=Q \frac{\sigma}{2 \varepsilon_0}=Q \frac{Q}{2 A \varepsilon_0}=\frac{Q^2}{2 A \varepsilon_0}$
F is independent of the distance between the plates.

MCQ 121 Mark

C and Si both have the same lattice structure, having 4 bonding electrons in each. However, C is an insulator whereas Si is an intrinsic semiconductor. This is because
A. In case of C the valence band is not completely filled at absolute zero temperature.
B. In case of C the conduction band is partly filled even at absolute zero temperature.
C. The four bonding electrons in the case of C lie in the second orbit, whereas in the case of Si they lie in the third.
D. The four bonding electrons in the case of C lie in the third orbit, whereas for Si they lie in the fourth orbit.

A
Option B
B
Option A
C
Option D
D
Option C

Answer

(d) Option C
Explanation: ${ }^6 C : 1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^2$
${ }^{14} Si : 1 s^2 2 s^2 2 p^6 3 s^2 3 p^2$
The energy required to take out an electron from the 3rd orbit of Si is much smaller than to take out an electron from the 2nd orbit of C. So, Si has a significant number of free electrons while C has a negligibly small number of free electrons.
