18 Assertion (A): Lens formula, 1/v-1/u = 1/f, gives the relationship between the 1
object distance ( u ), image distance ( v ) and the focal length ( f ) of a spherical
mirror.
Reason (R): The Relationship between object distance ( u) and image distance
(v) is also given by the magnification formula m =h’/h=v/u .
SECTION B
22 (i) Why is heat produced in a conductor when current passes through it for 2
sometime?
(ii) Name and define the commercial unit of electrical energy.
OR
(i) In a given ammeter, a student saw that needle indicates 12th division in
ammeter while performing an experiment to verify Ohm’s law. If ammeter has
10 divisions between 0 to 0.5 A, then what is the ammeter reading
corresponding to 12th division?
(ii) How do you connect an ammeter and a voltmeter in an electric circuit?
23 The focal length of a mirror is 30 cm. The size of image of an object formed by 2
this mirror is observed to be reduced by 1/3rd of size of the object.
(a) At what distance the object has been placed from the mirror?
(b) What is the nature of the image and the mirror?
SECTION C
29 (i) Is the pattern of the magnetic field lines around a current carrying solenoid 3
similar to that of a magnetic field around a bar magnet?
(ii) Draw the pattern of magnetic field lines of a
(a) Current carrying solenoid
(b) Bar magnet
(iii) What happens to the magnetic field of a solenoid if the current is stopped?
32 (i) What is the formula for linear magnification (m) of a spherical mirror? What 3
is the significance of sign (m)?
(ii) An object 8.0 cm in size is placed 40.0 cm in front of a concave mirror of
focal length 15.0 cm. At what distance from the mirror should a screen be
placed in order to obtain a sharp image? Find the size and nature of the image.
Draw the ray diagram also.
SECTION D
34 (i) Which metal is used to make filament of the electric bulb and why? 5
(ii) Amita’s mother bought two bulbs A and B rated 20 W, 220 V and 40 W, 220
V respectively. She wants to know which bulb will have
(a) More resistance?
(b) More current?
What is the relationship between current and resistance?
(iii) What is the heating effect of electric current? Write an expression for the
heating effect of electric current. Name two appliances based on heating effect
of electric current.
OR
(i) State the SI unit of electric energy. Derive the relationship between
commercial unit and SI unit of electric energy.
(ii) Nishi copied the following circuit diagram from the smart board but forgot
to copy one value of resistance which she marked as ‘X’. What is the value of
‘X’?
SECTION E
39 Rajesh along with his friends went for an educational tour to Jaisalmer. On the 4
last day of the hour, they had a bonfire. He noticed the apparent random
wavering or flickering of objects through a turbulent stream of hot air rising
above a fire. Based on the above information, answer the following questions.
(i)
(a) Why do the apparent position of objects, as seen through the hot air,
fluctuates?
(b) What happens to the density of air as we move above the surface of
earth?
(ii) The Sun can be seen 2 minutes before the actual sunrise and about 2
minutes after the actual sunset. Why? Draw the diagram to support your
answer.
OR
(ii)
(a) Neha draws the following diagram.
