For a semiconductor a negative resistance could found during a:
-
Negative Slope
-
Positive Slope
-
Constant Slope
-
Variable Slope
Correct Answer
A. Negative SlopeExplanation
A negative resistance can be found during a negative slope in a semiconductor. This means that as the voltage increases, the current decreases, which is opposite to the normal behavior of a resistor. In a negative slope, the semiconductor exhibits a decrease in resistance with increasing voltage, resulting in a negative resistance. This behavior can occur in certain types of semiconductors, such as tunnel diodes or Gunn diodes, where the negative resistance region is utilized for specific applications like oscillators or amplifiers.Rate this question:

De Broglie waves associated with a football is not visible because:
-
Velocity of the football
-
Weight of the football
-
Density of the football
-
Mass of the football
Correct Answer
A. Mass of the footballExplanation
The visibility of De Broglie waves associated with an object is not determined by its mass. De Broglie waves are a wave-particle duality concept in quantum mechanics, where all particles, including macroscopic objects like footballs, exhibit wave-like properties. The visibility of these waves is determined by the wavelength of the associated wave, which is inversely proportional to the momentum of the object. Therefore, the correct answer is that the mass of the football does not affect the visibility of its De Broglie waves.Rate this question:

When does a transistor act as a switch:
-
Collector current is kept constant
-
Collector current is increases
-
Collector current is zero
-
Collector current decreases
Correct Answer
A. Collector current is zeroExplanation
A transistor acts as a switch when the collector current is zero. In this state, the transistor is turned off and does not allow current to flow through it. This is because the base-emitter junction is not forward biased, preventing the transistor from conducting. By keeping the collector current at zero, the transistor effectively acts as an open switch, allowing for control of current flow in a circuit.Rate this question:

If the capacitor is being charged by an external ac source with an instantaneous current of I0 cos ωt. The displacement current would be:
Correct Answer
A.Explanation
The displacement current in a capacitor is equal to the rate of change of electric flux through the capacitor. In this case, since the capacitor is being charged by an external AC source with an instantaneous current of I0 cos ωt, the electric flux through the capacitor will be changing with time. Therefore, there will be a displacement current flowing through the capacitor.Rate this question:

For drift velocity the electrons move from:
-
Low potential to high potential
-
High potential to low potential
-
Negative potential to zero potential
-
Positive potential to zero potential
Correct Answer
A. Low potential to high potentialExplanation
The correct answer is "Low potential to high potential" because drift velocity refers to the net velocity of charged particles, such as electrons, in a particular direction due to an electric field. In this case, the electrons move from a region of low electric potential (low potential) to a region of high electric potential (high potential). This movement is in the direction opposite to the electric field, as electrons are negatively charged particles.Rate this question:

In which phenomenon the electrons move with an average velocity which is independent of time, although the electrons are accelerated:
-
Resistivity
-
Photoelectric Effect
-
Drift Velocity
-
Interference
Correct Answer
A. Drift VelocityExplanation
Drift velocity refers to the average velocity at which electrons move in a conductor when they are subjected to an electric field. It is independent of time because although the electrons are constantly being accelerated by the electric field, they also experience frequent collisions with atoms in the conductor, which randomize their individual velocities. As a result, the average velocity of the electrons remains constant over time, leading to the phenomenon of drift velocity.Rate this question:

The condition for maximum power dissipation is:
Correct Answer
A.Explanation
The condition for maximum power dissipation occurs when the load resistance is equal to the internal resistance of the source. This is because maximum power is transferred from the source to the load when the load resistance matches the internal resistance, resulting in maximum power dissipation. If the load resistance is higher or lower than the internal resistance, the power dissipation will be less than the maximum value.Rate this question:

What would be the resistance of the light bulb rated at 100 W for 220 V ac supply:
-
280 Ω
-
465 Ω
-
382 Ω
-
484 Ω
Correct Answer
A. 484 ΩExplanation
The resistance of a light bulb can be calculated using Ohm's Law, which states that resistance is equal to voltage divided by current. In this case, the power rating of the light bulb is given as 100 W and the supply voltage is 220 V. Using the formula P = V^2 / R, we can rearrange it to solve for resistance. Rearranging the formula gives R = V^2 / P. Plugging in the values, we get R = (220^2) / 100 = 484 Ω. Therefore, the resistance of the light bulb would be 484 Ω.Rate this question:

What happens below the threshold frequency:
-
Partial emission of photoelectrons
-
Increase in photoelectric current
-
Decrease in photoelectric current
-
No emission of photoelectrons
Correct Answer
A. No emission of photoelectronsExplanation
Below the threshold frequency, no emission of photoelectrons occurs. This is because the threshold frequency is the minimum frequency of incident light required to eject electrons from a metal surface. If the frequency of the incident light is below the threshold frequency, the energy of the photons is not sufficient to overcome the binding energy of the electrons in the metal, and therefore no photoelectrons are emitted.Rate this question:

Device used only to check the flow of current in a circuit:
-
Voltmeter
-
Wheatstone Bridge
-
Potentiometer
-
Galvanometer
Correct Answer
A. GalvanometerExplanation
A galvanometer is a device used to measure the flow of electric current in a circuit. It consists of a coil of wire suspended in a magnetic field. When current flows through the coil, it creates a magnetic field that interacts with the external magnetic field, causing the coil to rotate. By measuring the angle of rotation, the current can be determined. Unlike other options like voltmeter, Wheatstone Bridge, and potentiometer, a galvanometer is specifically designed to measure the flow of current and not other electrical quantities like voltage or resistance. Therefore, a galvanometer is the correct answer for a device used only to check the flow of current in a circuit.Rate this question:

Current is flowing from east to west in a wire AB. What would be the direction of the flow of current in a wire CD parallel to AB:
-
East to West
-
North to South
-
West to East
-
South to North
Correct Answer
A. West to EastExplanation
The direction of the flow of current in a wire CD parallel to AB would be West to East. This is because current flows in the opposite direction of the flow of electrons. Since the current in wire AB is flowing from east to west, the electrons in wire CD would be flowing from west to east, resulting in a current flow in the same direction.Rate this question:

How is the intensity of transmitted light varied when the Polaroid is rotated:
-
Intensity doubles
-
Intensity becomes half
-
Intensity becomes four times
-
Intensity remains same
Correct Answer
A. Intensity becomes halfExplanation
When a Polaroid is rotated, it acts as a polarizing filter that only allows light waves oscillating in a specific direction to pass through. As the Polaroid is rotated, the alignment of the polarizing molecules changes, causing a decrease in the intensity of transmitted light. This decrease in intensity occurs because only a portion of the light waves align with the new orientation of the Polaroid, while the rest are blocked. Therefore, the intensity of transmitted light becomes half when the Polaroid is rotated.Rate this question:

-
Diffraction
-
Total Internal Reflection
-
Polarisation
Correct Answer
A. Total Internal ReflectionExplanation
Endoscopy is a medical procedure that involves inserting a long, flexible tube with a camera at the end into the body to visualize internal organs or structures. Total Internal Reflection (TIR) is the principle on which endoscopy is based. TIR occurs when light traveling in a medium with a higher refractive index encounters a boundary with a medium of lower refractive index at an angle greater than the critical angle. This causes the light to be completely reflected back into the higher refractive index medium, allowing for the visualization of internal structures without the need for invasive surgery.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Eddy CurrentExplanation
When a copper plate oscillates between two magnetic poles, the movement of the plate induces a current in the plate known as eddy current. These eddy currents create their own magnetic fields that oppose the motion of the plate, resulting in damping. Therefore, the reason for the damping of the copper plate in this scenario is eddy currents.Rate this question:

What will happen if an open circuit is used in place of the closed loop?
-
Flux is induced at the center of the circuit
-
Flux is induced at only one of the ends of the circuit
-
Flux is induced across the open ends of the circuit
-
Flux is induced for a short period of time
Correct Answer
A. Flux is induced across the open ends of the circuitExplanation
If an open circuit is used in place of the closed loop, flux will be induced across the open ends of the circuit. In an open circuit, there is a break in the path for the current to flow, so when there is a change in magnetic field, it will induce a voltage across the open ends of the circuit. This induced voltage can cause a current to flow momentarily, creating a flux across the open ends of the circuit.Rate this question:

If £ is the emf induced between the axle and the rim of a wheel. What is the effect on emf if the number of spokes is increased?
-
Emf is doubled
-
No change in Emf
-

Correct Answer
A. Zero CurrentExplanation
The current enclosed by the toroid will be zero because there are no conducting loops or paths for the current to flow through. Since the charge is placed at the center of the toroid, it does not create any magnetic field lines that would induce a current in the toroid. Therefore, there is no current enclosed by the toroid.Rate this question:

-
Electric field due to induced charges opposes the external field within the conductor
Correct Answer
A. No work is done to bring a test charge to a near chargeExplanation
An equipotential surface is a surface in which all points have the same electric potential. This means that the electric field is perpendicular to the surface at every point. Since no work is done to move a test charge along an equipotential surface, it implies that the electric field is zero along the surface.

Correct Answer
A. Gauss' LawExplanation
Gauss' Law depends on the Inverse Square Law. Gauss Law states that the electric flux through a closed surface is directly proportional to the charge enclosed by that surface. The Inverse Square Law states that the intensity of a physical quantity decreases as the distance from the source increases, following an inverse square relationship. In the case of Gauss Law, the electric flux decreases as the distance from the charge source increases, in accordance with the Inverse Square Law. Therefore, Gauss Law depends on the Inverse Square Law.Rate this question:

Which of the following is dynamically stable in a hydrogen atom:
-
Centrifugal Force
-
Van Der Waal’s Force
-
Centripetal Force
-
Gravitational Force
Correct Answer
A. Centripetal ForceExplanation
The centripetal force is dynamically stable in a hydrogen atom because it is responsible for keeping the electron in orbit around the nucleus. It acts as a center-seeking force, constantly pulling the electron towards the nucleus, preventing it from flying off in a straight line. This force is necessary to maintain the stability of the atom's structure and ensure that the electron remains in its designated energy level. Without the centripetal force, the electron would move in a straight line and the atom would become unstable.Rate this question:
