15 b) Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A 1

16 b) Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A 1

SECTION B 1

17 Mobility is defined as the drift velocity /unit electric field applied. 2

 When temp decreases relaxation time increases and mobility increases.

Remains same

qp= qe= 1.6× 10-19 mp > me

F= q E which is same for both particle
But a= qE/m a e > ap
Electron will accelerate more.

20 Max Torque 2

24 a) surface on which every point is at same potential. 3

b)

c) No if electric field lines are tangential to equipotential surface, potential decreases in

the direction of field. Work will be done in moving a charge on the surface which goes
against the definition of equipotential surface

 The current sensitivity of the galvanometer is defined as the ratio of deflection
produced in the galvanometer to the current flowing through it. ( deflection
produced in a galvanometer for unit current flow ) 2+
∴ Sensitivity = θ / i=NBA/ k
by increasing the number of turns (N), using strong magnet or increasing the
area of the coil (A). (any 2)


Current sensitivity can be increased by increasing the number of turns for a given coil
kept in a mag field. But it increases the resistance of the coil. So the voltage sensitivity 1
remains the same.

=qvB
Since, vector F perpendicular vector v, it acts as a centripetal force and makes the
particle move in a circular path in the plane, perpendicular to the magnetic field.
