Shown in the figure is a semicircular metallic strip that has thickness t and resistivity $\rho $. Its inner
radius is R1 and outer radius is R2. If a voltage V0 is applied between its two ends, a current I flows
in it. In addition, it is observed that a transverse voltage $\Delta $V develops between its inner and outer
surfaces due to purely kinetic effects of moving electrons (ignore any role of the magnetic field due
to the current). Then (figure is schematic and not drawn to scale)
In the circuit shown, initially there is no charge on the capacitors and keys S1 and S2 are open. The values of the capacitors are C1 = 10$\mu $F, C2 = 30$\mu $F and C3 = C4 = 80$\mu $F.
Which of the statement(s) is/are correct?
A.
The key S1 is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged. Now, key S2 is closed, at this time, the instantaneous current across 30$\Omega $ resistor (between points P and Q) will be 0.2 A (round off to 1st decimal place).
B.
If key S1 is kept closed for long time such that capacitors are fully charged, the voltage across the capacitor C1 will be 4V.
C.
At time t = 0, the key S1 is closed, the instantaneous current in the closed circuit will be 25 mA.
D.
If key S1 is kept closed for long time such that the capacitors are fully charged, the voltage difference between points P and Q will be 10 V.
Correct Answer: B,C
Explanation:
Just after closing of switch charge on any capacitor is zero.
$ \therefore $ Replace all capacitors by conducting wires.

D.
The measured value of R will be 978$\Omega $ < R < 982$\Omega $.
Consider two identical galvanometers and two identical resistors with resistance R. If the internal resistance of the galvanometers Rc < R/2, which of the following statement(s) about anyone of the galvanometers is(are) true?
A.
The maximum voltage range is obtained when all the components are connected in series
B.
The maximum voltage range is obtained when the two resistors and one galvanometer are connected in series, and the second galvanometer is connected in parallel to the first galvanometer
C.
The maximum current range is obtained when all the components are connected in parallel
D.
The maximum current range is obtained when the two galvanometers are connected in series, and the combination is connected in parallel with both the resistors
Correct Answer: A,C
Explanation:
Let ig be the current that gives full deflection of the galvanometer. When all components are connected in series (see figure), effective resistance of the circuit is ${R_e} = 2R + 2{R_c}$ and maximum current allowed in the circuit is ig.
Thus, the voltage between A and B is
${V_{AB}} = {i_g}{R_e} = 2{i_g}(R + {R_c})$.
Consider the case when two resistors and one galvanometer are connected in series and the second galvanometer is connected in parallel.
The maximum current through each galvanometer is ig and the maximum current through the resistors is 2ig. Apply Kirchhoff's law to get the voltage between A and B as
$V{'_{AB}} = 2{i_g}R + 2{i_g}R + {i_g}{R_c}$
$ = 2{i_g}(R + {R_c}) + 2{i_g}(R - {R_c}/2)$
$ = {V_{AB}} + 2{i_g}(R - {R_c}/2)$
$ > {V_{AB}}$ ($\because$ ${R_c} < R/2$).
Consider the case when all four components are connected in parallel.
Let i and ig be the currents through the resistors and the galvanometers. By Kirchhoff's law, $iR = {i_g}{R_c}$, which gives $i = {i_g}{R_c}/R$. The current between A and B is
${I_{AB}} = 2i + 2{i_g} = 2{i_g}(1 + {R_c}/R)$.
Consider the case when the two galvanometers are connected in series and the combination is connected in parallel with both the resistors.
An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement(s) is (are) true?
A.
The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform
B.
The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time
C.
The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up
D.
The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb
Correct Answer: C,D
Explanation:
Because of non-uniform evaporation at different section, area of cross-section would be different at different sections.
Region of highest evaporation rate would have rapidly reduced area and would become break up cross-section.
Resistance of the wire as whole increases with time. Overall resistance increases hence power decreases.
($p = {{{V^2}} \over R}$ or $p \propto {1 \over R}$ as V is constant).
At break up junction temperature would be highest, thus light of highest band frequency would be emitted at those cross-section.
Two ideal batteries of emf V1 and V2 and three resistances R1, R2 and R3 are connected as shown in the figure. The current in resistance R2 would be zero if
A.
V1 = V2 and R1 = R2 = R3
B.
V1 = V2 and R1 = 2R2 = R3
C.
V1 = 2V2 and 2R1 = 2R2 = R3
D.
2V1 = V2 and 2R1 = R2 = R3
Correct Answer: A,B,D
Explanation:
Let i1 and i2 be the currents as shown in the figure.
Apply Kirchhoff's law in the loop ABCDA and CEFDC to get
For the resistance network shown in the figure, choose the correct option(s).
A.
The current through PQ is zero.
B.
I1 = 3A.
C.
The potential at S is less than that at Q.
D.
I2 = 2A.
Correct Answer: A,B,C,D
Explanation:
Due to symmetry on upper side and lower side, points P and Q are at same potentials. Similarly, points S and T are at same potentials. Therefore, the simple circuit can be drawn as shown below :
${I_2} = {{12} \over {2 + 2 + 2}} = 2A$
${I_3} = {{12} \over {4 + 4 + 4}} = 1A$
$\therefore$ ${I_1} = {I_2} + {I_3} = 3A$
IPQ = 0 because VP = VQ
