Question 11 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:
Answer
(a) case (ii) contradicts Gauss's law for magnetic fields.
Explanation: case (ii) contradicts Gauss's law for magnetic fields.

Question 21 Mark
In a compound microscope, maximum magnification is obtained when the final image
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).

Question 31 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
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

Question 61 Mark
In Huygens' theory, light waves
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.

Question 71 Mark
In the middle of the depletion layer of reverse biased p-n junction, the:
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.

Question 101 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:
Answer
$(b)\ 375\ mH$
Explanation: $L \propto N^2$
$\therefore L_2=\left(\frac{N_2}{N_1}\right)^2 L_1$
$=\left(\frac{500}{100}\right)^2 \times 15\ mH =375\ mH $

Question 111 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
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.
