MCQ 11 Mark
A microscope is focused on a mark. Then a glass slab of refractive index 1.5 and thickness 6 cm is placed on the mark. To get the mark again in focus the microscope should be moved
  • A
    9 cm upward c) 4 cm upward
  • B
    2 cm downward
  • C
    4 cm upward
  • D
    2 cm upward
Answer
(d) 2 cm upward
Explanation: Shift $S = t \left(\frac{1-1}{\mu}\right)$
Substituting the given data we get,
$S=6\left(\frac{1-1}{1.5}\right)$
or, $S=6\left(\frac{1-2}{3}\right)=2 cm$ upward

MCQ 41 Mark
In Huygens' theory, light waves
  • A
    are transverse waves and require no medium to travel.
  • B
    are longitudinal waves and require a medium to travel.
  • C
    are transverse waves and require a medium to travel.
  • D
    are longitudinal waves and require no medium to travel.
Answer
(b) are longitudinal waves and require a medium to travel.
Explanation: According to Huygens, light waves are longitudinal waves and require a material medium to travel. For this reason Huygens assumed the existence of a hypothetical medium called luminiferous aether.

MCQ 51 Mark
Consider the two idealised systems: (i) a parallel plate capacitor with large plates and small separation and (ii) a long solenoid of length L > > R, radius of cross-section. In (i), E is ideally treated as a constant between plates and zero outside. In (ii), magnetic field is constant inside the solenoid and zero outside. These idealised assumptions, however, contradict fundamental laws as below:
  • A
    case (ii) contradicts Gauss's law for magnetic fields.
  • B
    case (i) contradicts Gauss's law for electrostatic fields.
  • C
    case (ii) contradicts en $\oint H \cdot d 1=I_{e n}$
  • D
    case (i) agrees with $\oint E . d 1=0$
Answer
(a) case (ii) contradicts Gauss's law for magnetic fields.
Explanation: case (ii) contradicts Gauss's law for magnetic fields.

MCQ 61 Mark
A coil of wire of a certain radius has $100$ turns and a self$-$inductance of $15\ mH.$ The self$-$inductance of a second similar coil of $500$ turns will be:
  • A
    $15\ mH$
  • $375\ mH$
  • C
    $45\ mH$
  • D
    $75\ mH$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$375\ mH$
$L \propto N^2$
$\therefore L_2=\left(\frac{N_2}{N_1}\right)^2 L_1$
$=\left(\frac{500}{100}\right)^2 \times 15\ mH$
$=375\ mH $

MCQ 71 Mark
An equilateral triangle is made by uniform wires AB, BC, CA. A current I enteres at A and leaves from the midpoint of BC. If the lengths of each side of the triangle is L, the magnetic field B at the centroid O of the triangle is:
Image
  • A
    $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{4 I}{L}\right)$
  • B
    $\frac{\mu_0}{4 \pi}\left(\frac{2 I}{L}\right)$
  • C
    $\frac{\mu_0}{2 \pi}\left(\frac{4 I}{L}\right)$
  • D
    zero
Answer
(d) zero
Explanation: Equal current flows in part 1 and 2 of triangular loop as shown in the figure. As both part of the triangular loop is symmetric about point O, so magnetic field at O due to both parts is equal and opposite to each other. Thus magnitude of magnetic field at O due to part 1 cancel out the magnitude of magnetic field at O due to part 2. Hence net magnetic field at O is zero.

  • A
    $\mu \propto n$
  • B
    $\mu \propto \frac{1}{n}$
  • C
    $\mu \propto \frac{1}{n^2}$
  • D

MCQ 101 Mark
In a compound microscope, maximum magnification is obtained when the final image
  • A
    coincides with the objective
  • B
    is formed at the least distance of distinct vision
  • C
    coincides with the object
  • D
    is formed at infinity
Answer
(b) is formed at the least distance of distinct vision
Explanation: Magnification of compound microscope is given by
$m =\left(\frac{v_o}{u_o}\right)\left(1+\frac{D}{t_o}\right)$ when final image is formed at near point
Whereas, $m =\left(\frac{ v _o}{ u _o}\right)\left(\frac{D}{f_e}\right)$, when final image is formed at infinity.
Hence, magnification is maximum when final image is formed at near point (least distance of distinct vision).

MCQ 121 Mark
In the middle of the depletion layer of reverse biased p-n junction, the:
  • A
    potential is maximum
  • B
    potential is zero
  • C
    electric field is zero
  • D
    electric field is maximum
Answer
(c) electric field is zero
Explanation: When a p-n junction is reverse biased, the width of the depletion region increases. As a result, the electric field is greatly reduced. Practically, it becomes zero.
