Answer: (c) The magnetic field should be increased

Explanation:
1. For a galvanometer
2. \(NIAB=C θ\)
3. \(⟹ \frac{θ}{I}=\frac{NAB}{C}\)
4. Here, \(\frac{θ}{I}\) is called the sensitivity of galvanometer so to increase the sensitivity of galvanometer, C should be decreased and N, A and B should be increased

(a) 65%
(b) 75%
(c) 85%
(d) 95%
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) 95%

Explanation:

2. \(∴x={\left(\frac{P}{V}\right)}^{2}R={\left(\frac{10×1000}{200}\right)}^{2}×0.2\)
3. \(=500\mathrm{W=0.5\ kW}\)
4. Efficiency of transmission
5. \(=\frac{\mathrm{power\ delivered\ by\ line}}{\mathrm{power\ supplied\ to\ line}}=\frac{\mathrm{10\ kW}}{\mathrm{10\ kW+}x \mathrm{kW}}\)
6. \(=\frac{10}{10+0.5}=\frac{10}{10.5}=0.95=95\%\)

Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) \(\frac{R}{16}\)

Explanation:
1. \(R=\frac{ρl}{A}\)
2. \(\mathrm{or} R∝l\)
3. \(∴ \frac{{R}_{1}}{{R}_{2}}=\frac{{l}_{1}}{{l}_{2}}=\frac{L}{L/4}=4\)
4. Or \({R}_{2}=\frac{R}{4}\left(∵{R}_{1}=R\right)\)
5. In parallel combination of such four resistances.
6. \(\frac{1}{{R}^{'}}=\frac{1}{{R}_{2}}+\frac{1}{{R}_{2}}+\frac{1}{{R}_{2}}+\frac{1}{{R}_{2}}\)

(b) Low resistance in parallel with its coil
(c) High resistance in series in series with its coil
(d) High resistance in parallel with its coil
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (c) High resistance in series in series with its coil

Explanation:
1. Voltmeter has high resistance and is always connected in parallel with the circuit. So, to convert a galvanometer into voltmeter, a high resistance must be connected in series with it so that it draws negligible current from the circuit.

(c) Less than \(1.85 A\)
(d) None of these
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) Greater than \(1.85 A\)

Explanation:
1. In general, ammeter always reads less than the actual value because of its resistance

Explanation:
1. \(L∝l\)
2. \(\frac{{L}_{1}}{{L}_{2}}=\frac{{l}_{1}}{{l}_{2}}\)
3. \(\frac{10}{11}=\frac{2.5}{{l}_{2}}\)
4. \(10{l}_{2}=2.5×11\)
5. \({l}_{2}=\frac{2.5×11}{10}=2.75M\)

Question 15: Forty electric bulbs are connected in series across a \(220 V\) supply. After one bulb is fused, the remaining 39 are connected again in series across the same supply. The illumination will be
(a) More with 40 bulbs than with 39
(b) More with 39 bulbs than with 40
(c) Equal in both the cases
(d) In the ratio of \({49}^{2} :{39}^{2}\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) More with 39 bulbs than with 40

Explanation:
1. When 1 bulb fuses, the total resistance of the circuit decreases hence the current increases. Since \(P={i}^{2}R,\) therefore illumination increases

Question 16: The electron dirft speed is small and the charge of the electron is also small but still, we obtain large current in a conductor. This is due to
(a) The conducting property of the conductor
(b) The resistance of the conductor is small
(c) The electron number density of the conductor is small
(d) The electron number density of the conductor is enormous
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (d) The electron number density of the conductor is enormous

Explanation:
1. In a conductor, the electron number density \(ie\), number of electrons per unit volume of a conductor is very large \((≈{10}^{28}{m}^{-3})\), so large current in a conductor is obtained irrespective of their small drift speed.

Question 17: A \(12 HP\) motor has to be operated \(8 h/day.\) How much will it cost at the rate of \(50 paise/kWh\) in \(10 days?\)
(a) Rs 347
(b) Rs 358
(c) Rs 375
(d) Rs 397
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) Rs 347

Explanation:
1. If a motor of \(12 HP\) works for 10 days at the rate of 8 h/day then
2. Energy consumption = \(\mathrm{Power\ ×time}\)
3. \(=12×746\frac{J}{s}×(80×60×60)s\)
4. \(=12×746×80×60×60J=2.5×{10}^{9}J\)
5. Rate of energy\(=50\frac{paise}{kWh}\)
6. \(∴3.6×{10}^{6}J\)energy cost \(\mathrm{=Rs\ 0.5}\)
7. \(∴2.5×{10}^{9}J\)energy cost \(=\frac{2.5×{10}^{9}}{2×3.6×{10}^{6}}=\mathrm{Rs} 347\)

Question 18: A thermocouple of resistance \(1.6Ω\) is connected in series with a galvanometer of \(8Ω\) resistance. The thermocouple develops an \(e.\)m.f. of \(10μV\) per degree temperature difference between two junctions. When one junction is kept at \(0℃\) and the other in a molten metal, the galvanometer reads \(8 millivolt.\) The temperature of molten metal, when \(e\).m.f. varies linearly with temperature difference, will be
(a) \(960℃\)
(b) \(1050℃\)
(c) \(1275℃\)
(d) \(1545℃\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (a) \(960℃\)

Explanation:
1. Let the temperature of molten metal is \(t℃\)
2. The thermo-\(e\)mf \(e=10×{10}^{-6}t volt\)
3. Current in the circuit \(\frac{e}{R+{R}_{G}}=\frac{{10}^{-5}t}{8+1.6}=\frac{{10}^{-5}t}{9.6}amp\)
4. But\(i=\frac{V}{{R}_{G}}=\frac{8×{10}^{-3}}{8}\)
5. \(∴\frac{{10}^{-5}t}{9.6}=\frac{8×{10}^{-3}}{8}\mathrm{or} t=\frac{9.6×{10}^{-3}}{{10}^{-5}}=960℃\)

2. or \({m}_{1}=5m,{m}_{2}=3m,{m}_{3}=1m\)
3. We knows
4. \(R=\frac{ρl}{A}\)
5. So \({R}_{1}:{R}_{2}:{R}_{3}=\frac{{l}_{1}}{{A}_{1}} :\frac{{l}_{2}}{{A}_{2}} :\frac{{l}_{3}}{{A}_{3}}\)
6. \(=\frac{{l}_{1}^{2}}{{V}_{1}} :\frac{{l}_{2}^{2}}{{V}_{2}} :\frac{{l}_{3}^{2}}{{V}_{3}}\)
7. \(=\frac{{l}_{1}^{2}}{{m}_{1}} :\frac{{l}_{2}^{2}}{{m}_{2}} :\frac{{l}_{3}^{2}}{{m}_{3}}\)

(d) 9.9\(Ω\)
Show Answer & Explanation

Answer: (b) 11\(Ω\)

1. Let \(R=100Ω\)
2. \(∴ {R}^{'}=100+100×\frac{10}{100}\)
3. \(=110Ω\)
4. \(∴ ∆R={R}^{'}-R\)
5. \(=110-99=11Ω\)
