Answers

Section-A
Answer 1.
(i) (d) 0 to 80 dB
Explanation :
Safe limit of level of sound for having is 0 to 80 dB. Beyond the sound level of 120 dB can cause
permanent damage to ears.
(ii) (d) Conductance
Explanation :
According to Ohm’s law,
V
=R
I
I 1
\ Slope of given graph is = =
V R
(iii) (c) 0.5 W
Explanation :

I =
Rr

\ IR + Ir = ε
or 0.2 × 10 + 0.2 × r = 2.1
or 2 + 0.2r = 0.1
or 0.2r = 0.1
or r = 0.5 W
(iv) (d) upward
Explanation :
The direction of motion of proton is the direction of current I. The direction of force F on the proton
is towards north (as the proton is deflected towards north). Applying Fleming’s left hand rule, the
direction of magnetic field (B) is upwards.

(v) (b) Loudness decreases


Explanation :
Amplitude and Loudness are directly proportional to each other, when the amplitude of sound
decreases, the Loudness also decreases.
(vi) (c) Water
Explanation :
Water has the largest specific heat i.e., 1 cal g–1 °C–1.
(vii) (a) Specific heat capacity
Explanation :
Weight W = mg, which is mass dependent. Specific heat capacity is a property of the body’s material
that is independent of its mass, whereas heat capacity is dependent on both the substance and the mass
of the body.
(viii) (a) Current in the coil is in direction DCBA
Explanation :
From figure, the current in the coil is flowing in direction ABCD. Using Fleming’s left hand rule, in the
arm AB, the force is inward at right angle to the plane of the coil. On the arm BC no force acts. On the
arm CD, the force is outward perpendicular to the plane of the coil. On the arm DA, no force acts.
(ix) (c) 30°C
Explanation :
Let the temperature of water after mixing is T.
Heat lost = Heat gained
100(90 – T) = 600 (T – 20)
9000 – 100 T = 600 T – 12000
700 T = 21000
\ T = 30°C
(x) (d) All of these
Explanation :
The amount of heat energy contained in a body varies material substance to substance. Heat energy
contained in a body depends upon mass, temperature, material properties of the body.

Section-B
Answer 2.
(i) (a) M agnetic field produced at A is into the plane of the paper whereas at B, it is out ot the plane of
the paper.
(b) Magnetic field at any point due to a straight current carrying conductor is inversely proportional
to the distance of the point from the conductor. As r1 > r2, thus magnetic field at B will be larger as
compared to that at point A.
(ii) (a) Sound of higher pitch is called shriller sound. The pitch of the sound depends upon frequency of
sound. The sound which have higher frequency of vibrations have higher pitch.
(b) Loudness of sound is proportional to the square of amplitude of the vibrations producing the
sound. When the amplitude of vibration is large, the sound produced is loud when the amplitude
is small, the sound produced is feeble.
(iii) (a) For the region AB, there is no change in temperature till the whole ice melts. In this process, the
heat is being continuously supplied but the temperature of ice and water does not change. Here,
the heat supplied is used in changing the state from solid (ice) to liquid (water). The process of
change of state from solid to liquid is called melting.
(b) After the whole ice is converted into water in the region AB, if we continue heating, the temperature
of the water begins to rise till it reaches at 100°C, where it again becomes steady. For the portion
of the graph BC, the heat supplied is used to change water from liquid state to vapour or gaseous
state. The change of state from liquid to vapour or gas, is called vaporisation.
(c) T he region CD represents a constant temperature (100°C) with time. It means water and steam are
in thermal equilibrium at boiling point.
Answer 3.
(i) (a) The current appears anti-clockwise when viewed from end A because end A will form a north
pole.
(b) No deflection is observed as there is no relative motion between the magnet and coil.
(ii) (a) DQ = SmDT = 0.5 × 10 × 5 = 25 cal
(b) DQ = mL = 10 × 80 = 800 cal
(c) DQ = SmDT = 1 × 10 × 100 = 1000 cal
(iii) (a)

(b) T he radioactive substance S is kept in thick lead container with a very narrow opening to stop the
radiations coming out from other directions because they may cause biological damage.
(c) b radiations deflected the most.
(d) g radiations are unaffected by the electrostatic field and shows no deflection.
Answer 4.
(i) (a) T
 he direction of magnetic field for A will be downwards and perpendicular to the plane of the
paper.
The direction of magnetic field for B will be upwards and perpendicular to the plane of the paper.
(b) For A, it is South pole.
For B, it is North pole.
(ii) (a) The oscillations of pendulum D are free oscillations.
(b) T
 he pendulums A and C having different lengths are made to oscillate with the frequency of
D which is different from their natural frequency, hence the oscillations of A and C are forced
oscillations.
(iii) (a) Mass number of Thorium = 235 – 4 = 231
(b) Atomic number of Thorium = 92 – 2 = 90
(c) 235 — He4 + 90Th231

(b) Heat required to melt the bullet,
