5. (c)
$$\sqrt{\frac{2Em}{qB}}$$

6. (c) it becomes paramagnetic

Explanation :    

When a ferromagnetic substance is heated to a very high temperature it looses its magnetic property Ferromagnetic substances becomes paramagnetic. This happens because of the disorderness of the electron arrangement.

7. (b)

Explanation :    

The current takes T/4 s to reach the peak value.
In the given question,
$$XC =\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{2\pi v C}\\XC ∝\frac{1}{v}.\\\frac{2\pi}{T}=200\pi\\⇒T=\frac{1}{1000}s\\\text{Time to reach the peak value =}\frac{1}{400}s$$

The direction of propagation of electromagnetic wave is perpendicular to both electric field vector E and magnetic field vector B, i.e., in the direction of E × B. This can be seen by the diagram given below:

electromagnetic wave

Here, electromagnetic wave is along the z-direction which is given by the cross product of E and B.

9. (a)
$$Q=\frac{\Delta\phi}{\Delta t}$$

Explanation :    

$$\frac{\Delta\phi}{\Delta t}=\epsilon\\=IR\\⇒\Delta\phi=(I\Delta t)R\\=QR\\⇒Q=\frac{\Delta\phi}{R}$$

10. (b) decrease

Explanation :    

$$\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}\\\beta=\lambda\frac{D}{d}=\frac{hD}{mvd}[\lambda=\frac{h}{mv}]\\\text{so, higher the velocity lower the fringe width.}$$

11. (c) 3 : 4

Explanation :    

According to Einstein photoelectric equation
hn = hv0 + Kmax

For first metal,
hv = h
$$hv=h(\frac{3}{4}v)+K_1\\⇒K_1=\frac{hv}{4}\\\text{For second metal,}\\hv=h(\frac{3}{4}v)+K_2\\⇒K_2=\frac{hv}{3}\\\text{Thus, the ratio is}\\\frac{k_1}{k_2}=\frac{hv/4}{hv/3}=\frac{3}{4}$$

12. (c) hole concentration in p-region is more as compared to n-region.

Explanation :    

The diffusion of charge carriers across a junction occurs from the region of higher concentration to the region of lower concentration. Thus, the p-region has greater concentration of holes than the n-region. Hence, in an unbiased p-n junction, holes diffuse from the p-region to the n-region.

13. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of assertion.

Explanation :    

In semiconductors, the energy gap between conduction band and valence band is small (≈ 1 eV). Due to temperature rise, electron in the valence band gain thermal energy and may jump across the small energy gap (to the conduction band). Thus, conductivity increases and hence resistance decreases.

14. (c) A is true, but R is false.

Explanation :    

When there are few sources of light, then the result is usually called interference but if there
is a large number of them, the word diffraction is more often used.

15. (d) A is false and R is also false.

Explanation :    

Photoelectric effect demonstrates particle nature of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends upon intensity of light.

16. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.

Explanation :    

Lenz’s Law is based on conservation of energy and induced emf opposes the cause of it i.e., change in magnetic flux.

Impedance of the circuit is given by the relation,
$$Z=\sqrt{R^2+(X_L-X_C)}\\\text{At resonance,}X_L=X_C\\Z=R=20 \Omega\\\text{Current in the circuit can be calculated as :}\\I=\frac{V}{Z}=\frac{200}{20}=10 A\\\text{Thus, the average power transferred to the circuit is one complete cycle :}\\P=VI=200×10 = 2000 W$$

OR

$$wr=\frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\\=\frac{1}{\sqrt{3×27×10{-6}}}\\=\frac{10^3}{9}=111.11 rads^{–1}\\\text{Q-factor of the series:}\\Q=\frac{\omega_r}{R}=\frac{111.11×3}{7.4}=45.0446\\\text{To improve the sharpness of the resonance by reducing its ‘full width at half maximum’ by a factor of 2 without}\\\text{changing (wr) we need to reduce R to half i.e., resistance=}\frac{R}{2}=\frac{7.4}{2}=3.7 \Omega.$$

23. Suppose we have a conductor of length l in which current i is flowing. We need to calculate the magnetic field at a point P in vacuum.
$$If\vec{idl}\space\text{is one of the infinitely small current element, the magnetic field d}\space\vec{B}\text{at point P is given by} \\d\vec{B}∝\frac{\vec{idl}×\vec{r}}{r^3}\\d\vec{B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{\vec{idl}×\vec{r}}{r^3}\\Where\space\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\space\text{is a proportionality constant.}$$

Suppose there is a circular coil of radius R, carrying a current i. Let P be a point at the axis of the coil at a distance x from the centre, at which the field in required.

circular coil

Consider a conducting element dl of the loop. The magnetic field due to dl is given by the Biot-Savart law,
$$d\vec{B}=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{\vec{i|dl}×\vec{r}|}{r^3}\\dB=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{idl}{(R^2+x^2)^{3/2}}$$

The direction of dB is perpendicular to the plane formed by dl and r. It has an X-component dBx and a component perpendicular to X-axis, dB⊥. When the components perpendicular to the X-axis are summed over, they cancel out and we obtain null result. Thus, only the X-component survives.
$$\text{So the resultant field}\space\vec{B}\space at P is given by\\B=\int dBsin\theta\\B=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{i}{r^2}\int dlsin\theta\\B=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{iR}{r^3}\int dl[sin\theta=\frac{R}{r}]\\But\int dl=2\pi R and r=(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}\\B=\frac{\mu_0}{4\pi}\frac{2\pi R^2i}{(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}\\\text{If the coil has N turns, then each turn will contribute equally to B. Then,}\\B =\frac{\mu_0NiR^2}{2(R^2+x^2)^{\frac{3}{2}}}$$

(b) When a charged particle is moved from one point to the other on a closed loop, the work done by the electrostatic field is zero. Hence, the tangential component of electrostatic field is continuous from one side of charged surface to the other.

Magnifying power

Magnifying power : The magnifying power of a refracting type astronomical telescope is defined as the ratio of angle subtended by the final image at eye to the angle subtended by the object at eye.
We know that,
$$\text{Magnification, m =}\frac{f_0}{f_e}=\frac{P_e}{P_o}$$

(b) (i) The lens with the smallest power or largest focal length should be used as the objective i.e., lens with power 0.5 D.
(ii) The aperature is preferred to be large so that the telescope can collect as much as light coming from the distant object as possible.

(b) Refracting telescope:
Magnifying power: The magnifying power is the ratio of the angle b subtended at the eye by the final image to the angle a which the object subtends at the lens or the eye.

Magnifying power

$$m = −\frac{\beta}{\alpha}=-\frac{h}{f_e}.\frac{f_o}{h}=-\frac{f_o}{f_e}$$

Limitations of refracting telescope over reflecting type telescope :
(i) Refracting telescope suffers from chromatic aberration as it uses large sized lenses.
(ii) The requirement of big lenses tend to be very heavy and therefore, difficult to make and support by their edges.
