Curated from Previous Year Question Papers

1

State Fleming’s left hand rule.

Answer

Stretch the forefinger, middle finger and thumb of the left hand in mutually perpendicular directions.

1
Forefinger points in the direction of the magnetic field.
2
Middle finger points in the direction of the electric current.
3
Thumb points in the direction of the force experienced by the conductor .
2

Explain the concept of velocity selector.

Answer

By proper choice of electric and magnetic fields , particles with a particular speed can be selected. Such an arrangement of fields is called a velocity selector .

3

State Ampere’s circuital law.

Answer

The line integral of magnetic field over a closed loop is ฮผโ‚€ times the net current enclosed by the loop .

Ampere’s Circuital Law
โˆฎC B ยท dl = ฮผ0Ienclosed

Where Ienclosed is the net current linked by the closed loop C.

4

Give the properties of diamagnetic materials.

Answer

The properties of diamagnetic materials are:

1
Magnetic susceptibility is negative.
2
Relative permeability is slightly less than unity.
3
Magnetic field lines are repelled or expelled by diamagnetic materials when placed in a magnetic field.
4
Susceptibility is nearly temperature independent.
5

Is an ammeter connected in series or parallel in a circuit? Why?

Answer

An ammeter must offer low resistance so that it does not change the current passing through it.

Therefore, an ammeter is connected in series to measure the circuit current.

6

What are the limitations of cyclotron?

Answer
1
The speed of the ion is limited.
2
Electrons cannot be accelerated.
3
Uncharged particles cannot be accelerated.
7

What is magnetic permeability?

Answer

Magnetic permeability is the measure of the ability of a material to allow the passage of magnetic field lines through it.

1
In free space, the permeability (or absolute permeability) is denoted by ฮผโ‚€.
2
For any other medium, it is denoted by ฮผ.
8

How will you increase the current sensitivity of a galvanometer?

Answer

The current sensitivity of a galvanometer can be increased by:

1
Increasing the number of turns, N.
2
Increasing the magnetic induction, B.
3
Increasing the area of the coil, A.
4
Decreasing the couple per unit twist of the suspension wire, K.

9

State Maxwell’s right hand corkscrew rule.

Answer

If we rotate a right-handed screw using a screwdriver:

1
The direction in which the screw advances is the direction of current.
2
The direction of rotation of the screw gives the direction of the magnetic field.
10

What is hysteresis?

Answer

The phenomenon of lagging of magnetic induction behind the magnetising field is called hysteresis.
