Numerical
The least count of the main scale of a screw gauge is 1 mm. The minimum number of divisions on its circular scale required to measure 5 $\mu$ m diameter of wire is:
Correct Answer: 200
Explanation:
Ans. (200) $L.C. = \frac{pitch}{no. of divisions}$ $5 \times 10^{-6} m = \frac{1mm}{n} = \frac{10^{-3}m}{n}$ $\Rightarrow n = \frac{1000}{5} = 200$

In a vernier callipers, each cm on the main scale is divided into 20 equal parts. If tenth vernier scale division coincides with ninth main scale division. Then the value of vernier constant will be $\cdots\cdots\times10^{-2}$ mm.
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Ans. (5) $20 MSD = 1cm$ $1MSD = \frac{1}{20} cm$ $10 VSD = 9MSD$ $1VSD = \frac{9}{10} MSD$ $= \frac{9}{10} \times \frac{1}{20} cm$ $1VSD = \frac{9}{200} cm$ $VC = 1 MSD - 1 VSD$ $= \frac{1}{20} cm - \frac{9}{200} cm$ $= \frac{1}{200} \times 10mm$ $VC = 5 \times 10^{-2} mm$

Student A and Student B used two screw gauges of equal pitch and 100 equal circular divisions to measure the radius of a given wire. The actual value of the radius of the wire is 0.322 cm. The absolute value of the difference between the final circular scale readings observed by the students A and B is ____. [Figure shows position of reference 'O' when jaws of screw gauge are closed] Given pitch = 0.1 cm.
Correct Answer: 13
Explanation:
Ans. (13)
For (A)
Reading = $MSR + CSR + Error$ $0.322 = 0.300 + CSR + 5 \times LC$ $0.322 = 0.300 + CSR + 0.005$ $CSR = 0.017$ For (B)
Reading = $MSR + CSR + Error$ $0.322 = 0.200 + CSR + 0.092$ $CSR = 0.030$ Difference = $0.030 - 0.017 = 0.013 cm$ Division on circular scale = $\frac{0.013}{0.001} = 13$
For (A)
Reading = $MSR + CSR + Error$ $0.322 = 0.300 + CSR + 5 \times LC$ $0.322 = 0.300 + CSR + 0.005$ $CSR = 0.017$ For (B)
Reading = $MSR + CSR + Error$ $0.322 = 0.200 + CSR + 0.092$ $CSR = 0.030$ Difference = $0.030 - 0.017 = 0.013 cm$ Division on circular scale = $\frac{0.013}{0.001} = 13$

The diode used in the circuit shown in the figure has a constant voltage drop of 0.5 V at all currents and a maximum power rating of 100 milliwatts. What should be the value of the resistor R (in Ω) connected in series with the diode for obtaining maximum current –
Correct Answer: 5
Explanation:
Ans. (5) $VI = 100 \times 10^{-3}W \Rightarrow I = \frac{10^{-1}}{V} = \frac{10^{-1}}{0.5} = \frac{1}{5}A$ Applying KVL: $1.5 - \frac{1}{5}R - 0.5 = 0 \Rightarrow R = 5\Omega$

In half wave rectifier $E_{rms} = \int_{0}^{\frac{T}{2}}\frac{E_{0}\sin\omega t dt}{\int_{0}^{T}dt} = \frac{E_{0}}{2} = \frac{200}{2} = 100V$
In half wave rectifier $E_{rms} = \int_{0}^{\frac{T}{2}}\frac{E_{0}\sin\omega t dt}{\int_{0}^{T}dt} = \frac{E_{0}}{2} = \frac{200}{2} = 100V$
