Group 'A'

1. Answer, in brief, any four questions: [4x2=8]

a) You are given n wires, each of resistance R. What is the ratio of maximum to minimum resistance obtainable from these wires?
b) Why do we prefer a potentiometer to measure emf of a cell rather than a voltmeter?
c) What is angle of dip? How is it related with components of earth's magnetic field?
d) Why is soft iron used to make core of transformer?
e) If the number of turns of a solenoid is doubled, keeping the other factors constant, how does the self inductance of the solenoid change?
f) The emf of an ac source is given by the expression, E=300 sin 314t volts. Write the values of peak voltage and frequency of source.

2. Answer, in brief, any four questions. [4x2=8]

a) Why is neutron considered the most effective bombarding particle in nuclear reaction?
b) The value of e/m is constant for cathode rays but not for positive rays, why?
c) The output of two-input AND gate is fed to a NOT gate. Give its logic symbol and write down it's truth table. Identify the new logic gate formed.
d) How does a daughter nucleus differ from its parent nucleus when it emits i) an α-particle and      ii) a β-particle?
e) State Hubble's Law and write the significant of Hubble's constant.
f) What is energy crisis? Explain.
