Q. 2. (i) Causes of turbulent flow :
(1) An obstruction, or sharp edge such as in a tap, creates turbulence by imparting
velocities perpendicular to the flow.
(2) If the speed with which a fluid moves relative to a solid body is increased
beyond a certain critical velocity, the flow becomes unstable or one of
extreme disorder.

harmonics, the fundamental frequency being called the first harmonic. The
second harmonic is twice the fundamental or 2n1 , and so on.

The higher allowed frequencies are called the overtones. Above the fundamental,
the first allowed frequency is called the first overtone, the next higher frequency
is the second overtone, and so on. The relation between overtones and allowed
harmonics depends on the system under consideration.

Q. 4. A rectifier — half-wave or full-wave — outputs a pulsating dc which is not directly
usable in most electronic circuits. These circuits require something closer to pure dc
as produced by batteries. Unlike pure dc waveform of a battery, a rectifier output has
an ac ripple riding on a dc waveform.
The circuit used in a dc power supply to remove the ripple is called a filter. A filter
circuit can produce a very smooth waveform that approximates the waveform produced
by a battery. The most common technique used for filtering is a capacitor connected
across the output of a rectifier.
Q. 5. A reversible process is a bidirectional process, i.e., its path in P – V plane is the same
in either direction. In contrast, an irreversible process is a unidirectional process,
i.e., it can take place only in one direction.
A reversible process consists of a very large number of infinitesimally small steps so
that the system is all the time in thermodynamic equilibrium with its environment. In
contrast an irreversible process may occur so rapidly that it is never in thermodynamic
equilibrium with its environment.
Q. 6. (1) According to Rutherford, the electrons revolve in circular orbits around the atomic
nucleus. The circular motion is an accelerated motion. According to the classical
electromagnetic theory, an accelerated charge continuously radiates energy.
Therefore, an electron during its orbital motion, should go on radiating energy.
Due to the loss of energy, the radius of its orbit should go on decreasing. Therefore,
the electron should move along a spiral path and finally fall into the nucleus in a
very short time, of the order of 1016 s in the case of a hydrogen atom. Thus, the
atom should be unstable. We exist because atoms are stable.
(2) If the electron moves along such a spiral path, the radius of its orbit would
continuously decrease. As a result, the speed and frequency of revolution of the
electron would go on increasing. The electron, therefore, would emit radiation of
continuously changing frequency, and hence give rise to a continuous spectrum.
However, atomic spectrum is a discrete line spectrum.

Q. 9. Huygens’ construction of a spherical wavefront : Consider a point source of
monochromatic light S in a homogeneous isotropic medium. The light waves travel
with the same speed v in all directions. After time t, the wave will reach all the points
which are at a distance vt from S. This is spherical wavefront XY. Let, A, B, C, ... be
points on this wavefront.

Q. 10. Whenever a conductor or a part of it is moved in a magnetic field ‘cutting’ magnetic

Q. 19. An ideal solenoid is tightly wound and infinitely long. Let n be the number of turns

For an ideal solenoid, the magnetic induction lB inside is reasonably uniform over the
cross section and parallel to the axis throughout the volume enclosed by the solenoid;
lB outside is negligible.
As an Ampèrian loop, we choose a rectangular path PQRS of length l parallel to the
solenoid axis as shown in the figure. The width of the rectangle is taken to be sufficiently
large so that the side RS is far from the solenoid where lB  0. The line integral of the

Q. 21. Consider a particle which moves anticlockwise around a circular path of radius A with

Q. 25. Kirchhoff’s law of heat radiation : At a given temperature, the ratio of the emissive
power to the coefficient of absorption of a body is equal to the emissive power of a
perfect blackbody at the same temperature for all wavelengths. OR
For a body emitting and absorbing thermal radiation in thermal equilibrium, the
emissivity is equal to its absorptivity.
Theoretical proof : Consider the following thought experiment : An ordinary body A
and a perfect blackbody B are enclosed in an athermanous enclosure as shown in
figure.
According to Prevost’s theory of heat exchanges, there is a continuous exchange of
radiant energy between each body and its surroundings. Hence, the two bodies, after
some time, will attain the same temperature as that of the enclosure.

Equality of a and e

Let a and e be the coefficients of absorption and emission respectively, of body A. Let
R and Rb be the emissive powers of bodies A and B, respectively.

Q. 26. According to the wave theory of light, electromagnetic waves carry the energy stored
in oscillating electric and magnetic fields. When enough energy is absorbed by an
electron in a substance, it should be liberated as a photoelectron. Frequency of light
does not come into picture in this case. Hence, there should not be any threshold
frequency for emission of electrons. But it is found that there exists threshold frequency
and it depends on the metal.
Experimentally, the maximum kinetic energy of photoelectrons increases linearly with
the frequency of light. This cannot be accounted by the wave theory of light.
If a source of light is weak or far away from a metal surface, emission of an electron
will not be almost instantaneous. The electron may have to wait for several hours/days
for absorption of enough energy from the incident light as by the wave theory of light,
energy is spread over the wavefront. But experimentally, for an appropriate frequency
of incident light, photoelectric effect is almost instantaneous.
Only one observation, photoelectric current  intensity of incident light can be
accounted by the wave theory of light.

Q. 27. A photodiode is a special purpose reverse-biased pn-junction diode that generates
charge carriers in response to photons and high energy particles, and passes a
photocurrent in the external circuit proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.

Planar photodiode

A photodiode is operated in the reverse bias mode which results in a wider depletion
region. When operated in the dark (zero illumination), there is a reverse saturation
current due solely to the thermally generated minority charge carriers. This is called
the dark current.
When exposed to radiation of energy h  EG (in the range near-UV to near-IR),
electron-hole pairs are created in the depletion region. The electric field in the depletion
layer accelerates these photo-generated electrons and holes towards the n side and
p side, respectively, constituting a photocurrent I in the external circuit from the p side
to the n side. Due to the photogeneration, more charge carriers are available for
conduction and the reverse current is increased. The photocurrent is directly proportional
to the intensity of the incident light. It is independent of the reverse bias voltage.

Q. 29. When a pipe narrows, the same volume occupies a greater length, as schematically

narrower pipe is A2. By the equation of continuity, v2  (A1/A2)v1

Speed of a fluid increases as it enters a narrower pipe (Schematic)

Since A1/A2  1, v2  v1. For the same volume to pass points 1 and 2 in a given
time, the speed must be greater at point 2.
The process is exactly reversible. If the fluid flows in the opposite direction, its speed
decreases when the pipe widens.

Q. 31. A moving-coil galvanometer is converted into a voltmeter by increasing its effective
resistance by connecting a high resistance Rs in series with the galvanometer as shown
in the figure. The series resistance is also useful for changing the range of any given
voltmeter and hence called a series multiplier.

A voltmeter is a modified galvanometer

Let G be the resistance of the galvanometer coil and Ig the current required for a full-
scale deflection.
Let V be the maximum potential difference to be measured. The value of the series
resistance Rs should be such that when the potential difference applied across the
instrument is V, the current through the galvanometer is Ig.
In the series combination, the potential difference V gets divided across the galvanometer
( resistance, G ) and the resistance Rs :
V  IgG  IgRs  Ig (G  Rs )
V
 Rs   G
Ig

This is the required value of the series resistance. The scale of the galvanometer is
then calibrated so as to read the potential difference in volt or its submultiples directly.

Q. 5. (1) Resistance is opposition to flow of charges (current) and appears in a DC circuit
Join Telegram:- @NOTESPROVIDER12TH_BOARD
as well as in an AC circuit.
The term reactance appears only in an AC circuit. It occurs when an inductor and/
or a capacitor is used.
(2) In a purely resistive circuit, current and voltage are always in phase.
When reactance is not zero, there is nonzero phase difference between current and
voltage.
(3) Resistance does not depend on the frequency of AC.
Reactance depends on the frequency of AC. In case of an inductor, reactance
increases linearly with frequency. In case of a capacitor, reactance decreases as
frequency of AC increases; it is inversely proportional to frequency.
(4) Resistance gives rise to production of Joule heat in a component.
In a circuit with pure reactance, there is no production of heat.

and S2 of the secondary are connected to the two p-regions of two junction diodes D1

D1, D2 : Junction diodes, RL : Load resistance, IL : Load current,

Full-wave rectifier circuit

Working : During one half cycle of the input, terminal S1 of the secondary is positive
while S2 is negative with respect to the ground ( the centre-tap T ). During this half
cycle, diode D1 is forward biased and conducts, while diode D2 is reverse biased and
does not conduct. The direction of current IL through RL is in the sense shown.

Voltage waveforms for a full-wave rectifier (a) input (b) output

During the next half cycle of the input voltage, S2 becomes positive while S1 becomes
negative with respect to T. Diode D2 now conducts sending a current I L through RL in
the same sense as before. D1 now does not conduct. Thus, the current through RL flows
in the same sense, i.e., it is unidirectional, for both halves or the full-wave of the input.
This is called full-wave rectification.
The output voltage has a fixed polarity but varies periodically with time between zero
and a maximum value. Figure shows the input and output voltage waveforms. The
pulsating dc output voltage of a full-wave rectifier has twice the frequency of the ac
input.

with a movable, massless and frictionless piston as shown in the figure.

A system enclosed in a cylinder

Molecules colliding with the piston impart momentum to the piston. The time rate of
change of momentum is the force, F, exerted by the gas on the piston. During an
expansion of the gas, if dx is the infinitesimal displacement of the piston, the work
done by the gas, dW  F dx. If A is the area of cross section of the piston, the pressure
F
exerted by the gas, P  .
A
Hence, the work done, dW  P A dx  P dV
where dV  A dx is the infinitesimal increase in the volume of the gas.
If Vi is the initial volume of the gas, and Vf is the final volume, the total work done
by the gas in moving the piston is given by
Vf
W  P dV
Vi

This is the required expression.


Q. 18. According to Bohr’s third postulate for the model of the hydrogen atom, an atom
radiates energy only when an electron jumps from a higher energy state to a lower
energy state and the energy of the quantum of electromagnetic radiation emitted in this
process is equal to the energy difference between the two states of the electron. This
emission of radiation gives rise to a spectral line.

Q. 21. Metre bridge :
Construction : A rectangular wooden board has three thick copper strips along its
three edges. A uniform resistance wire, one metre long, is soldered to the two end
copper strips and stretched over a metre scale between them. The unknown resistance
X and a variable resistance R are connected in the two gaps between the end-strips and
the centre strip. The common point of X and R, junction B, is connected through a
centre-zero galvanometer G to a pencil jockey. A cell of emf E, in series with a rheostat
Rh and a plug key K, is connected across AC as shown in the figure.

Wheatstone’s metre bridge

Working : Keeping a suitable resistance (R) in the resistance box, key K is closed to
pass a current through the circuit.
The jockey is tapped along the wire to locate the equipotential point D when the
galvanometer shows zero deflection. The bridge is then balanced and point D is called
the null point and the method is called as null deflection method. The distances LX
and LR of the null point from the two ends of the wire are measured.

Q. 27. Consider a car taking a left turn along a road of radius r banked at an angle  for a

forces acting on the car are
, acting vertically down
(a) its weight mg

(b) the normal reaction of the road N , perpendicular to the road surface

(c) the frictional force fs along the inclined surface of the road.
At the optimum speed, frictional force is not relied upon to contribute to the necessary
 
lateral centripetal force. Thus, ignoring fs , resolve N into two perpendicular
components : N cos  vertically up and N sin  horizontally towards the centre of the
circular path. Since there is no acceleration in the vertical direction, N cos  balances
mg and N sin  provides the necessary centripetal force.

and the road surface.
The friction depends upon the nature of the surfaces in contact and the presence of oil
and water on the road. If the friction is inadequate, a speeding car may skid off the
road. Since the friction changes with circumstances, it cannot be relied upon to provide
the necessary centripetal force. Moreover, friction results in fast wear and tear of the
tyres.
To avoid the risk of skidding as well as to reduce the wear and tear of the car tyres,
the road surface at a bend is tilted inward, i.e., the outer side of the road is raised
above its inner side. This is called banking of a road. On a banked road, the resultant
of the normal reaction and the gravitational force can act as the necessary centripetal
force. Thus, every car can be safely driven on such a banked curve at certain optimum
speed, without depending on friction. Hence, a road should be properly banked at a
bend.

Q. 5. An atomizer is a device which entraps or entrains liquid droplets in a flowing gas. Its
working is based on Bernoulli’s principle. A squeeze bulb or a pump is used to create
a jet of air over a narrow open tube dipped into a liquid. By Bernoulli’s principle, the
high-velocity air stream creates low pressure at the open end of the tube. This causes
the liquid to rise in the tube. The liquid is then dispersed into a fine spray of droplets.
This type of system is used in a perfume bottle, a paint sprayer, insect and perfume
sprays and an automobile carburetor.
Q. 6. Principle of a capacitor : Any conductor can be used to store charges, however, its
capacity can be increased by keeping a grounded conductor near it.
Consider a metal plate A whose potential is raised to V by depositing a charge Q on
it, so that its capacity is C  Q / V. Now, if an uncharged metal plate B is brought close
to plate A, then negative bound charge Q will be induced on the surface of B near
A and positive free charge Q on the other side of B, Fig. (a).

Principle of a capacitor

If plate B is grounded, i.e., connected to the Earth, the free charge on it will escape to
the Earth, Fig. (b). The bound charge (Q) thus remaining on B will lower the
potential of A, as if superimposing a potential V1 on the potential V of plate A. The
resultant potential of A will become V – V1, and its capacity will be Q / ( V  V1 ).

Keeping plate B very close to A, V  V1 can be made very small, so that the capacity

Q. 7. For two inductively coupled coils, the fraction of the magnetic flux produced by the
current in one coil (primary) that is linked with the other coil (secondary) is called the
coefficient of magnetic coupling between the two coils.
The coefficient of magnetic coupling between two coils depends on
(1) the distance between the coils (2) the angle between the coil axes.
Q. 8. Kirchhoff’s voltage law : Around a closed loop of an electrical network, the algebraic
sum of the emfs and the potential differences across all the circuit elements in that
loop is zero, i.e.,  E   V  0.
Sign convention :
(1) In going round a loop, if we traverse a resistor in the direction of conventional
current through it, the potential difference (p.d.) across the resistor is considered
negative. If we traverse the resistor opposite to the current through it, the p.d. is
considered positive.
(2) In going round a loop, if we traverse a cell from its negative terminal to the
positive terminal, the emf of the cell is considered positive while it is taken as
negative if we traverse in the opposite direction.

Q. 17. Atoms of a ferromagnetic material have a permanent non-zero magnetic dipole moment,
arising mainly from spin magnetic moments of the electrons.
According to the domain theory, a ferromagnetic material is composed of small regions
called domains.
A domain is an extremely small region containing a large number (something like 1015
atoms as in common iron) of atoms.
Within each domain, the atomic magnetic moments of nearest-neighbour atoms interact
strongly through exchange interaction (a quantum mechanical phenomenon) and
align themselves parallel to each other even in the absence of an external magnetic
field. A domain is, therefore, spontaneously magnetized to saturation.
In an unmagnetized material, however, the directions of magnetization of the different
domains are so oriented that the net magnetization is zero.

Domains in a single crystal of iron


The arrows indicate the direction and magnitude of the magnetization of each domain.

When an external magnetic field is applied, the resultant magnetization of the specimen
increases. This is achieved in either of two ways : Either a domain that is favourably
oriented grows in size at the expenses of a less favourably oriented domain, or the
direction of magnetization of an entire domain changes and aligns along the external
magnetic field.
When a weak magnetic field is applied, favourably oriented domains grow in size by
domain boundary displacement, Fig. (b). In strong fields, the domains change their
magnetization by domain rotation, Figs. (c) and (d). If domains reach perfect alignment,
as in Fig. (d), the domains merge into one large domain.
After the external field is removed, it may be energetically favourable for a domain’s
direction of magnetization to persist. Then, the specimen has a permanent magnetic

existence of permanent magnets.
Q. 18. Max Planck put forward the quantum theory in 1900 to explain blackbody spectrum.
In the theory, he proposed that the electromagnetic radiation emitted by the body
consists of discrete concentrated bundles of energy, each equal to h, where h is a
universal constant (now called Planck’s constant) and  is the frequency of the radiation.
Einstein put forth (1905) that these energy quanta, called light quanta, later called
photons, interact with matter much like a particle. When a photon collides with an
electron in an atom, the electron absorbs whole of the photon energy h in a single
collision or nothing. The electron uses this energy (1) to liberate itself from the atom,
(2) to overcome the potential energy barrier at the surface thus liberating itself from
the metal, and (3) retains the remaining part as its kinetic energy. Different electrons
need different energies in the first two processes. There are some electrons which use
minimum energy in the two processes, and hence come out of the metal with maximum
kinetic energy. The minimum energy required, in the form of electromagnetic radiation,
to free an electron from a metal is called the photoelectric work function y0 of that
metal. Thus, for the most energetic photoelectrons at the time of emission,
maximum kinetic energy of the electron
 photon energy  photoelectric work function
1 1
 mv2max  h  y0  h  y0 mv 2max
2 2
The above equation is called Einstein’s photoelectric equation.
Light interacts with matter as concentrated bundles of energy rather than energy spread
over a Huygens type wavefront. Even under weak irradiation, an electron absorbs a
photon’s energy in a single collision. But the rate of incident photons in dim light
being less, the chances of such absorption diminish and consequently the photoelectric
current diminishes. However, a photoelectron is emitted as soon as a photon is absorbed.
Q. 19. With a potential difference applied across a uniform resistance wire, potential gradient

wire AB of length L, as shown. One end of a device is connected to the higher potential

potential gradient, the voltage V divides into VAP and VPB in proportion to their lengths

l1 and l2. The potential di昀昀erence across the device is VAP  ( ) l1 so that, by using

Use of a potentiometer as a voltage divider

Q. 20. Principle : In the breakdown region of a Zener diode, for widely changing Zener
current, the voltage across the Zener diode remains almost constant.

Zener diode as a voltage regulator

Electric circuit : The circuit for regulating or stabilizing the voltage across a load
resistance RL against change in load current and supply voltage is shown in the figure.
The Zener diode is connected parallel to load RL such that the current through the
Zener diode is from the n to p region. The series resistance Rs limits the current
through the diode below the maximum rated value.
From the circuit, I  IZ  IL
and V  IRs  VZ  ( IZ  IL ) Rs  VZ
Working : When the input unregulated dc voltage V across the Zener diode is greater
than the Zener voltage VZ in magnitude, the diode works in the Zener breakdown
region. The voltage across the diode and load RL is then VZ. The corresponding current
in the diode is IZ.
As the load current (I ) or supply voltage (V ) changes, the diode current (IZ ) adjusts
itself at constant VZ. The excess voltage V – VZ appears across the series resistance Rs.
For constant supply voltage, the supply current I and the voltage drop across Rs remain
constant. If the diode is within its regulating range, an increase in load current is
accompanied by a decrease in IZ at constant VZ .
Since the voltage across RL remains constant at VZ , the Zener diode acts as a voltage
stabilizer or voltage regulator.

Q. 30. An ideal fluid is one that has the following properties :
(1) It is incompressible, i.e., its density has a constant value throughout the fluid.
(2) Its flow is irrotational, i.e., the flow is steady or laminar. In an irrotational flow,
the fluid does not rotate like in a whirlpool and the velocity of the moving fluid
at a specific point does not change over time. (Many fluids change from laminar
to turbulent flow as the speed of the fluid increases above some specific value.
This can dramatically change the properties of the fluid.)
(3) Its flow is nonviscous or inviscid, i.e., internal friction or viscosity is zero so that
no energy is lost due to the motion of the fluid.

atmosphere. The pressure p at point A is the (unknown) pressure of the gas in the
vessel. The pressure on the mercury column in the open tube is the atmospheric
pressure p0.

An open tube manometer

Point B, at the same horizontal level as A, is at a depth h from the surface of mercury
in the open tube. Therefore, the pressure at B is p0  gh.
The pressures at points A and B at the same liquid level being the same, equating the
unknown pressure p (at A) to the pressure at B.

The pressure p is called the absolute pressure, and the difference in pressure p  p0

Q. 31. Theorem of parallel axis : The moment of inertia of a body about an axis is equal to
the sum of (i) its moment of inertia about a parallel axis through its centre of mass
and (ii) the product of the mass of the body and the square of the distance between
the two axes.
Proof : Let ICM be the moment of inertia (MI) of a body of mass M about an axis
through its centre of mass C, and I be its MI about a parallel axis through any point
O. Let h be the distance between the two axes.
Consider an infinitesimal mass element dm of the body at a point P. It is at a perpendicular
distance CP from the rotation axis through C and a perpendicular distance OP from
the parallel axis through O. The MI of the element about the axis through C is CP2 dm.
Therefore, the MI of the body about the axis through the CM is ICM   CP2 dm.
Similarly, the MI of the body about the parallel axis through O is I   OP2 dm.

Since, OC h is constant and  dm M is the mass of the body,
I Mh22h  CQ dmICM
Now, from the definition of centre of mass, the integral  CQ dm gives mass M times
a coordinate of the CM with respect to the origin C. Since C is itself the CM, this
coordinate is zero and so also the integral.

Q. 4. In one complete cycle of refrigeration, the refrigerant, a liquid such as fluorinated
hydrocarbon, goes through the following steps :
(1) The refrigerant in the closed tube passes through the nozzle and expands, into a
low-pressure area. This adiabatic expansion results in reduction in pressure and
temperature of the fluid and the fluid turns into a gas.
(2) The cold gas is in thermal contact with the inner compartment of the fridge. Here
it absorbs heat at constant pressure from the contents of the fridge.

(3) The gas passes to a compressor where it does work in adiabatic compression. This
Join Telegram:- @NOTESPROVIDER12TH_BOARD
raises its temperature and converts it back into a liquid.
(4) The hot liquid passes through the coils on the outside of the refrigerator and

during each cycle.
Q. 5. An acceptor circuit is a series LCR resonant circuit used in communications and
broadcasting to selectively pass a current for a signal of only the desired frequency.
The resonance curve of a series LCR resonant circuit with a small resistance exhibits
a very sharp peak at a certain frequency called the resonant frequency fr . For an
alternating signal of this frequency, the impedance of the circuit is minimum, equal to
R, and the current is maximum. That is, the circuit has a selective property as it prefers
to pass a signal of frequency fr and reject those of other frequencies.
Use : An acceptor circuit is used in a radio or television receiver to accept the signal
of a desired broadcasting station or channel from all the signals that arrive concurrently
at its antenna. Tuning a receiver means adjusting the acceptor circuit to be resonant at
a desired frequency.

Q. 16. Paramagnetism depends on the presence of permanent atomic or molecular magnetic
dipole moments. The inherent net atomic magnetic moment results from a particular
combination of the spin and orbital magnetic moments of its electrons.
The spin magnetic moments of the electrons in matter are affected by the internal
magnetic field created by the magnetic moments of surrounding electrons. This internal
field, 102 T to 101 T, causes the spin magnetic moments to precess about the
field direction. At normal temperature; the thermal motion of the electrons produces
constant fluctuations in the internal field so that the spin magnetic moments have
random directions, Fig. (a). In the absence of an external magnetizing field, therefore,
a paramagnetic material is not magnetized.

Join Telegram:- @engineeringnotes_mu
PRACTICE PAPER – PHYSICS (SOLUTIONS) : STD. XII 7
When the applied field strength is greater than that of the internal field, the spin magnetic
Join Telegram:- @NOTESPROVIDER12TH_BOARD
moments tend to align parallel to the external field direction. But the randomizing
effect of thermal agitation prevents complete alignment, Fig. (b). Therefore, at room
temperature, when a paramagnetic material is placed in a magnetic field, it is weakly
magnetized in the direction of the magnetizing field.
If the external field is very large or the temperature is very low, the magnetic dipole
moments are effectively aligned parallel to the field so as to have the least magnetic
potential energy and the magnetization reaches saturation, Fig. (c).

phase ― a crest of one wave superposed on the crest of the other wave, or where
troughs of the two waves superpose, as shown by the dots ( ) in the figure. These
dots lie on antinodal lines. The points on the screen along the antinodal lines have

Q. 18. Consider a fluid in steady or streamline flow. The velocity of the fluid within a flow
tube, while everywhere parallel to the tube, may change its magnitude. Suppose the
 
velocity is v 1 at point P and v 2 at point Q. If A1 and A2 are the cross-sectional areas
of the tube and 1 and 2 are the densities of the fluid at these two points, the mass
of the fluid passing per unit time across A1 is A11v1 and that passing across A2 is
A22v2. Since no fluid can enter or leave through the boundary of the tube, the
conservation of mass requires
A11v1  A22v2 ... (1)

Equation (1) is called the equation of continuity of flow. It holds true for a compressible
fluid, (like all gases) for which the density of the fluid may differ from point to point
in a tube of flow. For an incompressible fluid (like all liquids), 1  2 and Eq. (1)
takes the simpler form

that is, the flow speed is inversely proportional to the cross-sectional area of a flow
tube. Where the area is large, the speed of flow is small, and vice versa.

a stationary wave.
Consider two simple harmonic progressive waves, of the same amplitude A, wavelength

where k  2 /  is the propagation constant.
By the superposition principle, the resultant displacement of the particle of the medium
at the point at which the two waves arrive simultaneously is the algebraic sum

amplitude  R . By Eq. (5), R varies periodically with the position x. The absence of
the term,  kx in the sine function implies the stationary nature, i.e., the resultant
disturbance does not propagate along the positive or negative x-axis. It follows that
there is no energy transport in the medium. Hence, it is called a stationary wave or a
standing wave.

Q. 29. Advantages of a potentiometer over a voltmeter :

(1) The cell, whose emf is being measured, draws no current from the circuit at the
null point. Thus, the potentiometer measures the open-circuit potential difference
across its terminals, or the emf E. A voltmeter will measure the terminal potential
difference, V, of the cell in a closed circuit. This is because the resistance of a
voltmeter is high but not infinite and hence the voltmeter is not ideal.

(2) By setting up a suitably small potential gradient along a long potentiometer wire,
any small voltage can be measured. Increasing the length of the wire effectively
decreases the potential gradient, and increases both the precision and accuracy of
measurement.

(3) The adjustment of a potentiometer is a ‘null’ method which does not, in any way,
depend on the calibration of the galvanometer. The galvanometer is used only to
detect the current, not to measure it. The accuracy of a voltmeter is limited by its
calibration.

(4) Since a potentiometer can measure both the emf and terminal potential difference
of a cell, the internal resistance of the cell can be found. (Any two points)

In practice, every inductor possesses some resistance and hence even at resonance,
some current is drawn from the source. Also, the resonant frequency is different from
that for zero resistance.
The resonance curve shows the variation of current (irms) and impedance with the
frequency of the ac supply, Fig. (b). At resonance the current supplied by the source
is minimum and the impedance of the circuit is maximum.
Q. 17. A solar cell is an unbiased pn-junction that converts the energy of sunlight directly into
electricity by photovoltaic effect with a high conversion efficiency.
Construction : A simple pn-junction solar cell consists of a p-type semiconductor
substrate backed with a metal electrode back contact. A thin n-layer (less than 2.5 m,
for silicon) is grown over the p-type substrate by doping with suitable donor impurity.
Metal finger electrodes are prepared on top of the n-layer so that there is enough space
between the fingers for sunlight to reach the n-layer and, subsequently, the underlying
pn-junction.

Sectional view of a solar cell

Working : When exposed to sunlight, the absorption of incident radiation ( in the


range near-UV to infrared) creates electron-hole pairs in and near the depletion layer.
Consider light of frequency  incident on the pn-junction such that the incident photon
energy h is greater than the band gap energy EG of the semiconductor. The photons
excite electrons from the valence band to the conduction band, leaving vacancies or
holes in the valence band, thus generating electron-hole pairs.

Join Telegram:- @NOTESPROVIDER12TH_BOARD
If no external load is connected, these photogenerated charges get collected at the two
sides of the junction and give rise to a forward photovoltage. In a closed circuit, a
current I passes through the external load as long as the solar cell is exposed to sunlight.
Q. 18. The following are the parts of a typical heat engine :
(1) Working substance : It can be (i) a mixture of fuel vapour and air in a gasoline
(petrol) engine or diesel engine (ii) steam in a steam engine. The working substance
is called a system.
(2) Hot and cold reservoirs : The hot reservoir is a source of heat that supplies heat
to the working substance at constant temperature TH. The cold reservoir, also called
the sink, takes up the heat released by the working substance at constant temperature
T C  T H.
(3) Cylinder and piston : The working substance is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with
(ideally) a movable, massless, and frictionless piston. The walls of the cylinder are
nonconducting, but the base is conducting. The piston is nonconducting. The piston
is connected to a crank shaft so that the work done by the working substance
(mechanical energy) can be transferred to the environment.
Q. 19. A photocell or photoelectric cell is a device in which light energy is converted into
electrical energy by photoelectric effect.
Construction : One form of the photoelectric cell shown in the figure consists of a
highly evacuated or gas-filled glass tube, an emitter (cathode) and a collector (anode).
The light enters through a quartz window W and falls on the semicylindrical cathode
C coated with a photosensitive metal. The anode is in the form of a straight wire of
platinum or nickel, coaxial with the cathode.
If the cell is required to respond to the visible part of the spectrum, the cathode is
coated with potassium or rubidium and the quartz window is replaced by glass. If the
UV radiation only is to be used, cadmium is used as the sensitive surface. The cell is
either highly evacuated (for accurate photometry) or filled with an inert gas at low
pressure (if a larger current is desired).

Join Telegram:- @NOTESPROVIDER12TH_BOARD
The collector is kept at a positive potential with respect to the emitter. When UV
radiation or visible light of frequency greater than the threshold frequency for the
emitter surface is incident on the emitter, the ejected photoelectrons are focused by the
cylindrical emitter (cathode) towards the collector (anode). The photoelectrons collected
by the collector constitute a photocurrent which may be measured by a microammeter
in series with the photocell, as in an exposure meter or lux meter. Otherwise, the
photocurrent is used to operate a relay circuit as in an alarm, or to drive the coils of a
speaker as in reading an optical sound track in a cine film. The photocurrent becomes
zero when the incident light is cut off.

Q. 21. A battery of stable emf E is used to set up a potential gradient V / L along a potentiometer
wire, where V  potential difference across total length L of the wire. The positive
terminals of the cells, whose emfs (E1 and E2) are to be compared, are connected to
the high potential terminal A. The negative terminals of the cells are connected to a
galvanometer G through a two-way key. The other terminal of the galvanometer is
connected to a pencil jockey. The emf E should be greater than both the emfs E1 and
E2.

Connecting point P to C, the cell E1 is brought into the circuit. The jockey is tapped
along the wire to locate the null point D at a distance l1 from A. Then,

Now, without changing the potential gradient (i.e., without changing the rheostat
setting) point Q ( instead of P ) is connected to C, bringing the cell E2 into the circuit.
Let its null point D be at a distance l2 from A, so that

Q. 31. A charge q moving with a velocity lv through a magnetic field of induction lB experiences
a magnetic force perpendicular both to lB and lv. Experimental observations show that
the magnitude of the force is proportional to the magnitude of lB, the speed of the
particle, the charge q and the sine of the angle  between lv and lB. That is, in magnitude,
the magnetic force, Fm  q vBsin 
 lFmq (lvlB)
If the charged particle moves through a region of space where both electric and
magnetic fields are present, both fields exert forces on the particle.

The force due to the electric field lE is lFe  qlE.

The total force on a moving charge in electric and magnetic fields is called the Lorentz
force :

lF  lFe  lFm  q (lE  lvlB)

Special cases :

(i) lv is parallel or antiparallel to lB : In this case, Fm  qvB sin 0°  0. That is, the
magnetic force on the charge is zero.

(ii) The charge is stationary (v  0) : In this case, even if q0 and B0,
Fm  q(0)B sin   0. That is, the magnetic force on a stationary charge is zero.

The force per unit length acting on each conductor is

 ( 0 ) 1 2  (107 N/A2)
F  2I I 2 (5 A) (10 A)
 2.5  105 N/m  25 N/m

This force is attractive if the currents are in the same direction and repulsive if the
currents are in the opposite directions.
