Ans1. If q1q2 > 0 this means that q1 and q2 have the same sign. Either both charges are positive or both are negative so the force between them will be repulsive. (1/2) q1q2 < 0 then force will be attractive (1/2) Ans 2.

Ans 3. The side bands are at 1000+10 = 1010kHz (1/2) and 1000 -10 = 990kHz. (1/2) Ans 4. The diode is reverse biased.(1/2) Because the p side is at a lower voltage than the n side. (1/2) Ans 5. 1THz to 1000THz. (1) Ans 6. i. The flux is zero as the net charge enclosed by the Gaussian surface will be zero. (1/2) ii. If the Gaussian surface is made cubical the flux is the same. It stays zero, this is because the flux depends only on the charge enclosed & is independent of the shape of the Gaussian surface. (1/2)

Ans 7. The neutral temperature will be n =

a 10 = = 5000 C .(1/2) b 0.02

The inversion temperature is twice the neutral temperature so it is 10000C.(1/2) Ans 8. Total resistance of the circuit is 60+3 = 63 ohms. The current in the circuit is I =3/63 = 0.048A. (1) Ans 9. On introducing a dielectric in the capacitor, its capacitance will increase. (1)

the circuit increases and the brightness of the lamp increases.(1) Ans 10.Two crossed polaroids are placed perpendicular to each other. Let the intensity of incident light be I0 . The light transmitted by first Polaroid has intensity I0/2 because if unpolarised light is incident on a polaroid the transmitted intensity is half the original intensity. (1/2) The light transmitted by second Polaroid has intensity the axes of first and second Polaroid. The light transmitted by third Polaroid has intensity

I0 I I cos 2 ) cos 2 (900 ) = 0 ( cos 2 ) (sin 2 ) = 0 sin 2 2 . (1) ( 2 2 8 0 This intensity will be maximum when = 45 (1/2)
Ans 11. NAND gate is called a universal gate because it can be used to obtain other basic gates like AND, NOT and OR gates. (1) NAND gates can be combined as shown below to realize a basic OR gate.

(1) Ans 12. Some characteristic of the carrier signal is varied in accordance with the modulating or message signal. This is called modulation. (1) Amplitude modulation, frequency modulation and phase modulation of waves are different ways of modulation. (1)

Ans 13. A Wheatstone bridge is an arrangement of four resistances that can be used to measure one of them in terms of the rest. (1/2 )

(1/2) I1 = I3 and I 2 = I 4. Next, we apply Kirchhoffs loop rule to closed loops ADBA and CBDC. The first loop ADBA gives I1 R1 + 0 - I 2 R2 = 0 (I g = 0) and the second loop CBDC gives, upon using I 3 = I 1, I 4 = I 2 -I4 R4 + 0 + I3 R3 = 0 (1/2) Upon using I 3 = I 1, I 4 = I 2 & taking the ratio of the above two equations we obtain, R1 R 2 (1/2) = R3 R 4 This last equation relating the four resistors is called the balance condition for the galvanometer to give zero or null deflection. Ans 14. Consider first two cells in series, where one terminal of the two cells is joined together leaving the other terminal in either cell free. Let V (A), V (B), V (C) be the potentials at points A, B and C shown.

Then V (A) V (B) is the potential difference between the positive and negative terminals of the first cell. We know V(A) V(B)=1 Ir1 , where E1 is the emf of the Ist cell

Similarly, V(B) V(C)=2 Ir2 , where E2 is the emf of the 2nd cell Hence, the potential difference between the terminals A and C of the combination is

VAC = [ V(A) V(B)] + [ V(B) V(C)] = E1 + E 2 I(r1 + r2 )

(1)

If we wish to replace the combination by a single cell between A and C of emf Eeq and internal resistance req, we would have VAC = Eeq I req Comparing the last two equations, we get and req = r1 + r2 The rule for series combination clearly can be extended to n number of cells: (i) The equivalent emf of a series combination of n cells is just the sum of their individual emfs, and (ii) The equivalent internal resistance of a series combination of n cells is just the sum of their internal resistances.

Ans 16. Force acting on charge q moving with velocity v in magnetic field B: F = q(v B) . (1/2) i. Kinetic energy of the particle does not change as the force acting on it is always perpendicular to the velocity. A force that is perpendicular to the velocity cannot change the magnitude of the velocity. All that the force does is to change the direction of the particle keeping the magnitude of velocity unchanged. (1) ii. The instantaneous power is F.v ,where F and v are the force and velocity vector respectively. Since the force and velocity are perpendicular to each other, so F.v = 0. (1/2) Ans 17.

The peak current 2 i = 2(1.04) = 1.47A (1)

If the frequency is doubled, the capacitive reactance is halved and the current gets doubled. (1)

Ans 19. 1. Wavelength: =2/k= 3.5m. 2. Frequency, = /2 = 5.4x106/2 = 0.86MHz. 3. Magnetic field B0 = E0/c = 3.1/3x108 = 10nT. Ans 20. Intensity I= 4I0 cos2 /2 When path difference is , phase difference is 2 I= 4Io cos2 = 4 Io = K (given)

(1) (1) (1)

. (1)

When path difference is = /3, then the phase difference will be '=2 / =2 x / 3 = 2/3 Hence Intensity at a point where the path difference is /3, is I'=4I0 cos2 2 /6 (since K = 4I0 ) = K cos2 /3= K x {1/2}2 = () K. (1)

(1)

Ans 21. The deBroglie wavelength

dN = N . dt

Integrating the above expression gives

N(t) = N 0 e t Put N(t) = and t=T1/2 This gives T1/2 = 0.693

N0 2
(1)

m = 2(2.015) (3.017 + 1.009) = 0.004amu (1)

Hence energy released per deuteron = (0.04 x 931.5)/2 = 3.726 /2 MeV (1) The number of deuterons in 1kg =NA/2 =6.02x1023/2 Energy released =(3.02x1023)( 3.726x106/2)(1.6x10-19) =9.01013 J (1) Ans 24. i) If the audio signal is directly transmitted, the size of antenna will be extra large which is not practically feasible. This is because the size of the antenna required is proportional to / 4 . (1) ii) Effective power radiated by antenna is proportional to square of frequency. For an audio frequency wave the radiated power will be extremely small. (1) iii) If different programmes, audio frequencies are directly transmitted then what you will hear at the receiver will be a mixture of all these signals. (1) Ans.25 a. E remains same as it depends on the charge on the plates and the medium between the plates. b. Q remains same as charge does not change on the plates. (1) c. V =Ed, so as the distance is doubled V also doubles. (1) d. C=Q/V and V is doubled whereas Q remains same. So C is halved. (1) Ans 26 Given

Ans 27. Here the current gain is 75 i.e >1. (1) Besides this there is a phase difference of between the signal at the input and the output. (1) Both these facts indicate that the amplifier is connected in common-emitter mode. (1) Ans 28. Dipole moment vector p has magnitude 2qa and is in the direction of the dipole axis from q to q. (1) Its SI unit is C-m. (1) Force of qE acts on charge q and force qE acts on charge q.
