MCQ 11 Mark
The layered lens is made of two kinds of glass. A point source of light is placed on its principal axis. If the reflections from the boundaries between layers are ignored, the lens will form
  • A
    no image at all
  • B
    two images
  • C
    infinite images
  • D
    only one image
Answer
(d) only one image
Explanation: It is like a combination of two Plano – convex lenses. Therefore only one image is formed.

MCQ 21 Mark
The diode used in the circuit shown in the figure has a constant voltage drop at 0.5 V at all currents and a maximum power rating of 100 milliwatts. What should be the value of the resistor R, connected in series with diode for obtaining maximum current?
Image
  • A
    $20 \Omega$
  • B
    $6.76 \Omega$
  • C
    $5 \Omega$
  • D
    $5.6 \Omega$
Answer
(c) $5 \Omega$
Explanation: Voltage drop across diode, $V _{ d }=0.5 V$
Power rate of diode, $P _{ d }=100 mW=0.1 W$
Resistance of the diode,
$I _{ d }=\frac{V_d}{R_d}=\frac{0.5}{2.5}=0.2 A$
Maximum current through the diode,
$I _{ d }=\frac{V_d}{R_d}=\frac{0.5}{2.5}=0.2 A$
Applied voltage, V = 1.5 V
$R ^{\prime}=\frac{V}{I_d}=\frac{1.5}{0.2}=7.5 \Omega$
Value of the series resistor, $R = R ^{\prime}- R _{ d }=7.5-2.5=5 \Omega$Required total resistance of the circuit,

MCQ 31 Mark
When a negatively charged conductor is connected to earth
  • A
    Electrons flow from the earth to the conducto
  • B
    Protons flow from the conductor to the earth
  • C
    No charge flow occurs
  • D
    Electrons flow from the conductor to the earth
Answer
(d) Electrons flow from the conductor to the earth
Explanation: After earthing a positively charged conductor electrons flow from earth to conductor and if a negatively charged conductor is earthed then electrons flows from conductor to earth.

MCQ 61 Mark
Given magnetic field B, area A and length l of a solenoid. The magnetic energy per unit volume is
  • A
    $\frac{1}{2 \mu_0} B^2 A$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2 \mu_0} B^2 A l$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{2 \mu_0} B^3 A l$
  • D
    $\frac{B^2}{2 \mu_0}$
Answer
(d) $\frac{B^2}{2 \mu_0}$
Explanation: $U=\frac{1}{2 \mu_0} B^2 A l$
$\frac{U}{V}=\frac{B^2}{2 \mu_0}$

MCQ 71 Mark
A vertical straight conductor carries a current vertically upwards. A point P lies to the east of it at a small distance and another point Q lies to the west in the same direction. The magnetic field at P is:
  • A
    reater or less than at Q, depending upon the strength of the current
  • B
    greater than at Q
  • C
    less than at Q
  • D
    same as at Q
Answer
(d) same as at Q
Explanation: As per Biot Savart Law, Magnetic field at a point is inversely proportional to square of distance from the current carrying conductor. Therefore magnitude of magnetic field is same at both points P and Q, irrespective of their position from the conductor.

MCQ 101 Mark
An object approaches a convergent lens from the left of the lens with a uniform speed 5 m/s and stops at the focus. The image
  • A
    moves away from the lens with a uniform acceleration
  • B
    moves away from the lens with a uniform speed 5 m/s
  • C
    moves towards the lens with a non-uniform acceleration
  • D
    moves away from the lens with a nonuniform acceleration
Answer
(d) moves away from the lens with a non-uniform acceleration
Explanation: When an object approaches a lens with uniform speed, its image moves away from the lens to infinity with nonuniform acceleration.
