[SECTION A] (05X1=5)
Q1. A uniform electric field pointing in positive X-direction exists in a region. Let A be the origin, B be
the point on the X-axis at x = +1 cm and C be the point on the Y-axis at y = +1 cm. Then the potential
at points A, B and C satisfy.
Q2. A conducting wire connects two charged conducting spheres such that they attain equilibrium
with respect to each other. The distance of separation between the two spheres is very large as
compared to either of their radii. The ratio of the magnitudes of the electric fields at the surfaces of
the two spheres is
Q3. A long straight wire of circular cross section of radius a҅ ᾿ carries a steady current I. The current is
uniformly distributed across its cross section. The ratio of magnitudes of the magnetic field at a point
a/2 above the surface of wire to that of a point a/2 below its surface is
(C) ultrasonic waves only (D) sound waves as well as light waves
For Questions 5, two statements are given –one labelled Assertion (A) and other labelled Reason (R).
Select the correct answer to these questions from the options as given below.
A. If both Assertion and Reason are true and Reason is the correct explanation of Assertion.
B. If both Assertion and Reason are true but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion.
Q5. Assertion (A): On increasing the current sensitivity of a galvanometer by increasing the number
of turns may not necessarily increase its voltage sensitivity.
Reason(R) : The resistance of the coil of the galvanometer increases on increasing the number of
turns.

Q6. A platinum surface having work function 5.63 eV is illuminated by a monochromatic source of
1.6 x 10 15 Hz. What will be the minimum wavelength associated with the ejected electron.
Q7. (I) In Young’s double-slit experiment using monochromatic light of wavelength λ, the intensities
of two sources is I. What is the intensity of light at a point where path difference between wave
front is λ/4?
[SECTION C] (02X3=06)
Q8. Find the expression for the capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor of plate area A and plate
separation d when (I) a dielectric slab of thickness t and (II) a metallic slab of thickness t, where (t <
d) are introduced one by one between the plates of the capacitor. In which case would the
capacitance be more and why?
Q9. (I) Draw a ray diagram for the formation of image by a Cassegrain telescope.
(II)Why these types of telescopes are preferred over refracting type telescopes. (Write 2 points)
[SECTION D] (01X5=5)
Q10. Explain briefly, with the help of a labelled diagram, the basic principle of the working of an a.c.
generator. In an a.c. generator, coil of N turns and area A is rotated at an angular velocity ω in a
uniform magnetic field B. Derive an expression for the instantaneous value of the emf induced in
coil. What is the source of energy generation in this device?
