The time given at the head of this Paper is the time allowed for writing the answers.
Attempt all questions from Section A and any three questions from Section B.
SECTION A
(Attempt all questions.)
(b) If r1 > r2, then where will the strength of the magnetic field be larger?
(ii) (a) What do you understand by shriller sound ?
(b) How does loudness of sound is affected by amplitude?
(iii) The diagram given below shows a plot of temperature verus time, showing the changes in the state of
ice on heating (not to scale). Answer the questions as follows.
(a) What does the region AB in graph signifies?
(b) Describe the region BC in the graph?
(c) What does the region CD in the graph represent?
Question 3.
(i) The diagram shows a coil connected to a galvanometer G. The galvanometer shows a deflection to the
right when north pole of a powerful magnet is moved to the right as shown.
(a) What is the direction of current in the coil when viewed from end A?
(b) What is the direction of deflection of the galvanometer when both the coil and the magnet are
moved to the right at the same speed?
(ii) In a process 10 g of ice at –5°C is converted into the steam at 100°C.
(a) Calculate the amount of heat required to convert of ice from –5°C to 0°C, if specific heat of ice is
0.5 cal g-1 °C-1
(b) Calculate the amount of heat required to convert 10 g of ice at 0°C into 10 g of water at the same
temperature, if latent heat of fusion of ice is 80 cal g-1.
(c) Calculate the heat required to raise the temperature of 10 g of water from 0°C to 100°C, if specific
heat of water is 1 cal g-1C–1.
(iii) The diagram given below shows a radioactive source S in a thick lead walled container having a narrow
opening. The radiations pass through an electric field between the plates A and B.
(ii) Four simple pendulums A, B, C, and D with light bobs are suspended from a horizontal rubber string as
shown in figure. The system is stretched between two fixed points P and Q. The lengths of pendulums
B and D are equal. The length of pendulum C is shorter whereas the length of pendulum C is longer
than the pendulum B and D. On displacing the bob of pendulum D to one side and then on releasing,
the system is set into oscillations.
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.
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
92U 2
