Answer: B) – 3 pC
Q3. The quantum nature of light explains the observations on the photoelectric effect as-
Answer: (B) the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons depends only on the frequency of incident radiation.
Q4. The radius (rn) of nth orbit in Bohr model of hydrogen atom varies with n
Answer: (C) rn & n²
Q5. A straight wire is kept horizontally along east-west direction. If a steady current flows in wire from east to west, the magnetic field at a point above the wire will point towards
Answer: (C) North
Q6. The magnetic susceptibility for a diamagnetic material is
Answer: (A) small and negative
Q7. A galvanometer of resistance 100 ohm is converted into an ammeter of range (0-1 A) using a resistance of 0.1 ohm. The ammeter will show full scale deflection for a current of about
Answer: (D) 0.1 A
Q8. A circular loop A of radius R carries a current L. Another circular loop B of radius r (= R/20) placed concentrically in the plane of A. The magnetic flux linked with loop B is proportional to
Answer: (C) R2/3
Q9. Figure shows the variation of inductive reactance X₁ of two ideal inductors of inductance L1 and L2 with angular frequency w. The value of
Answer: (C) 3
Q10. The phase difference between electric field E and magnetic field B in an electromagnetic wave propagating along z-axis is
Answer: (A) Zero
Q11. A coil of N turns is placed in a magnetic field such that B is perpendicular to the plane of the coal R changes with time as B=B0 cos (2πt/T) where ‘T’ is time period. The magnitude of emf induced in the coil will be maximum at
Answer: (C) t = nT/2
Q12. In Balmer series of hydrogen atom, as the wavelength of spectral lines decreases, they appear-
Answer: (B) further apart and stronger in intensity.
Q13. Assertion (A): Electrons are ejected from the surface of zinc when it is irradiated by yellow light.
Reason (R): Energy associated with a photon of yellow light is more than the work function of zinc.
Answer:(C) If Assertion (A) is true and Reason (R) is false.
Q14. Assertion (A): The temperature coefficient of resistance is positive for metals and negative for p-type semiconductors.
Reason (R): The charge carriers in metals are negatively charged, whereas the majority charge carriers in p-type semiconductors are positively charged.
Answer: (A) If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Q15. Assertion (A): When electrons drift in a conductor, it does not mean that all free electrons in the conductor are moving in the same direction.
Reason (R): The drift velocity is superposed over large random velocities of electrons.
Answer: (A) If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A).
Q16. Assertion (A): In interference and diffraction of light, light energy reduces in one region producing a dark fringe. It increases in another region and produces a bright fringe.
Reason (R): This happens because energy is not conserved in the phenomena of interference and diffraction.
Answer: (B) If both Assertion (A) and Reason (R) are true and Reason (R) is the correct explanation of Assertion (A)
