The average velocity of free electrons in the absence of external electric field in a conductor is
Correct answer: Option 4. Zero
In the absence of an external electric field, free electrons move randomly in all directions.
Their vector average velocity is therefore zero.
Q02
On increasing the value of applied external electric field (E) in a conductor, the current density increases linearly at constant temperature. This is known as
Correct answer: Option 4. Ohm's law
At constant temperature, current density is directly proportional to the applied electric field.
This linear relation is Ohm's law.
Q03
The net resistance of the circuit between points A and B is
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 3. 83 Ω
Points B, C, D and L are at the same potential, so the circuit reduces to a 2 Ω series resistance with three 2 Ω resistors in parallel.
R = 2 + 23 = 83 Ω.
Q04
In the circuit shown, terminal potentials V1 and V2 are respectively
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 4. V1 = V2 = 3 V
Current in the circuit is i = 4 - 22 + 2 = 0.5 A.
For the 4 V cell, V1 = 4 - (0.5)(2) = 3 V.
For the 2 V cell while charging, V2 = 2 + (0.5)(2) = 3 V.
Q05
A uniform wire has diameter d and carries current 50 mA. If the drift velocity is v, what will be the drift velocity in a wire of diameter d/4 made of the same material when the current is 100 mA?
Correct answer: Option 3. 32v
For the same material, I = neAvd, so drift velocity is proportional to I/A.
vnewv = 10050 × d2(d/4)2 = 2 × 16 = 32.
Q06
Kirchhoff's current law, also called junction rule, is based on conservation of
Correct answer: Option 2. Charge
At a junction, charge cannot accumulate in steady state.
Hence total current entering the junction equals total current leaving it.
Q07
For the given circuit, the current through the 4 V battery is
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 3. 3 A
Applying Kirchhoff's laws to the loops gives the branch current through the central 4 V battery.
The current through the 4 V battery is 3 A.
Q08
The resistivity of copper with temperature
Correct answer: Option 2. Increases non-linearly with increase in temperature
For copper, resistivity increases with temperature and the experimental curve is not perfectly linear over a wide range.
Q09
SI unit of relative magnetic permeability is
Correct answer: Option 4. Unitless
Relative permeability is μr = μ/μ0.
It is a ratio of two quantities with the same unit, so it is unitless.
Q10
Consider the following statements and choose the correct option.
(I) A charged particle kept at rest in a non-uniform magnetic field given by B = B0x î experiences a force along y-axis. (II) Force experienced by charged particle q in the aforesaid condition is F = qB0x ĵ.
Correct answer: Option 4. Both statements I and II are incorrect
Magnetic force on a charge is F = q(v × B).
Here the particle is kept at rest, so v = 0 and magnetic force is zero. Both statements are incorrect.
Q11
A proton and a deuteron enter a uniform magnetic field B at right angles with the same kinetic energy. The ratio of their radii is
Correct answer: Option 2. 1 : √2
For circular motion in a magnetic field, R = √(2mK)/(qB).
With the same kinetic energy and charge, radius is proportional to √m, so Rp : Rd = 1 : √2.
Q12
An electron moves with speed 2 × 106 ĵ m s-1 in electric and magnetic fields E = 10 î N C-1 and B = 2 × 10-5 ĵ T. The path of the electron is
Correct answer: Option 1. Straight line
The magnetic field and velocity are parallel, hence v × B = 0.
The electron is affected only by the electric field, so the given solution treats the trajectory as rectilinear.
Q13
Magnetic field intensity due to a current I carrying infinitely long straight wire at a distance r from the wire is
Correct answer: Option 2. μ02I4πr
For a long straight wire, B = μ0I2πr, which is the same as option 2.
Q14
Find the magnetic field at the centre O of the shown current carrying wire.
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 4. μ0I24a, out of the plane
The magnetic fields due to the two arcs are in opposite directions.
The resultant is B = B1 - B2 = μ0I24a, directed out of the plane.
Q15
A circular coil of radius 7 cm has 100 turns and carries current 40 A. It is placed in a uniform magnetic field of strength 20 T. The maximum torque on the coil is
Correct answer: Option 4. 1232 N m
τmax = NBIA.
Here A = πr2 = π(0.07)2, so τmax = 100 × 20 × 40 × π(0.07)2 = 1232 N m.
Q16
Voltage sensitivity of a moving coil galvanometer is defined as
Correct answer: Option 4. Deflection per unit voltage
Voltage sensitivity is the deflection produced per unit voltage applied across the galvanometer.
Q17
Retentivity from the given B-H curve is
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 4. 2 T
Retentivity is the residual magnetic flux density B when H = 0.
From the graph, B at H = 0 is 2 T.
Q18
Resistance of an ideal voltmeter is
Correct answer: Option 2. Infinite
An ideal voltmeter should draw no current from the circuit.
Therefore its resistance is infinite.
Q19
Which of the following statements is incorrect?
Correct answer: Option 3. Magnetic field intensity due to a short bar magnet at equatorial line is double than that at axial line
For a short bar magnet, the magnetic field at the axial point is double that at the equatorial point.
Hence statement 3 is incorrect.
Q20
A bar magnet is placed in a uniform magnetic field B = 4 T. Potential energy at stable equilibrium position is -2 mJ. The magnetic moment of the magnet is
Correct answer: Option 4. 0.5 × 10-3 A m2
At stable equilibrium, U = -MB.
M = 2 × 10-34 = 0.5 × 10-3 A m2.
Q21
The full-scale current of a galvanometer of resistance 10 Ω is 2 mA. It is converted to an ammeter of range 2 A. The resistance of the ammeter is nearly
The effective resistance of the ammeter is nearly 0.01 Ω.
Q22
Dimensional formula of Bohr magneton is
Correct answer: Option 4. [M0L2T0A]
Bohr magneton has the dimensions of magnetic moment.
Magnetic moment = current × area, so its dimensional formula is [M0L2T0A].
Q23
Which of the following has negative value of magnetic permeability?
Correct answer: Option 4. None of the above
Magnetic permeability is positive for ordinary magnetic materials.
Diamagnetic substances have negative susceptibility, but their permeability is not negative.
Q24
A ferromagnetic specimen is in the form of a bar of cross-section 10 cm2 and length 50 cm. If its pole strength is 10 A m, the intensity of magnetisation is
Correct answer: Option 4. 104 A m-1
Intensity of magnetisation I = mA = 1010 × 10-4 = 104 A m-1.
Q25
Gauss law in magnetism indicates
Correct answer: Option 2. Non-existence of magnetic monopoles
Gauss law for magnetism is ∮B · dS = 0.
It means magnetic monopoles do not exist and magnetic field lines form closed loops.
Q26
Assertion (A): A particle moving in a uniform magnetic field has no change in speed.
Reason (R): Magnetic field can neither do work nor change momentum of a moving charged particle.
Correct answer: Option 3. A is true but R is false
Magnetic force is perpendicular to velocity, so it does no work and speed remains constant.
However, it can change the direction of velocity and hence the momentum. Thus A is true and R is false.
Q27
Consider the following statements.
(I) When a paramagnetic substance undergoes increase in temperature, its magnetic susceptibility increases. (II) Ferromagnetic material turns paramagnetic if its temperature exceeds the critical value.
Correct answer: Option 2. Only statement II is correct
For a paramagnetic substance, susceptibility follows Curie's law and decreases with rise in temperature.
Above Curie temperature, a ferromagnetic material becomes paramagnetic.
Q28
A long solenoid with turn density 1000 turns m-1 has resistance 100 Ω in its coil. If its ends are connected to a 1 kV source, the magnetic field at the centre is
Correct answer: Option 1. 4π mT
Current in the solenoid is I = V/R = 1000/100 = 10 A.
B = μ0nI = (4π × 10-7)(1000)(10) = 4π × 10-3 T = 4π mT.
Q29
A magnetized iron bar has length L and magnetic moment M. If the bar is bent into a semicircle, its magnetic moment becomes
Correct answer: Option 3. 2Mπ
Pole strength remains the same. When length L is bent into a semicircle, L = πr.
The new pole separation is 2r = 2Lπ, so M' = 2Mπ.
Q30
A wire of length 20 m carries current 10 A and is placed in a transverse magnetic field of 2 T. For the shape shown, the magnetic force is
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 2. 160 N
Net magnetic force on a bent wire in a uniform field depends on the effective end-to-end length.
Here the effective length is 8 m, so F = IBl = 10 × 2 × 8 = 160 N.
Q31
A square loop of 100 turns and side 20 cm lies in the x-y plane. A uniform magnetic field B = 10-2 T is switched on across it. The flux associated with the loop is
Correct answer: Option 4. Zero
The area vector of a loop in the x-y plane is along the z-axis.
For the given field direction, the angle with the area vector is 90°, hence flux is zero.
Q32
A rod of length 50 cm is moving at speed 10 m s-1 in a magnetic field of 0.4 T. The emf induced in the rod is
Correct answer: Option 4. Insufficient information
Motional emf depends on the relative orientation of the rod, velocity and magnetic field.
The necessary angle information is not given, so the emf cannot be determined uniquely.
Q33
Metallic sheets of the same material and thickness are exposed to the same changing magnetic field. In which sheet will the eddy current be minimum?
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 2. B
Eddy current is reduced when the path for circulating current is interrupted and its resistance is increased.
The sheet marked B offers the greatest interruption to the current path, so eddy current is minimum.
Q34
Match Column I with Column II.
Column I
Column II
a. Expression of Ampere's law
P. q(E + v × B)
b. Intensity of magnetic field due to current carrying semicircular loop at its centre
Q. Zero
c. Expression of Lorentz force
R. μ0 n i
d. Intensity of magnetic field due to long solenoid on its axis at the middle
S. μ0i4r
e. Intensity of magnetic field on the axis of a current carrying thin long pipe
T. ∮ B · dl = μ0i
Correct answer: Option 1. a → T, b → S, c → P, d → R, e → Q
Ampere's law is ∮B · dl = μ0i.
For a semicircular loop B = μ0i/(4r), Lorentz force is q(E + v × B), long solenoid field is μ0ni, and field on the axis of a thin long current carrying pipe is zero.
Q35
A metallic rod is rotating in a uniform magnetic field directed into the plane of the page as shown. Which relation is correct?
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 3. VO - VA = VO - VD
The symmetric arms acquire equal motional potential differences with respect to O.
Therefore VO - VA = VO - VD.
Q36
Find the current drawn from the source in the network shown.
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 3. 5 A
The bridge is balanced, so no current flows through the central branch.
The equivalent resistance is 185 Ω, hence I = 1818/5 = 5 A.
Q37
A solenoid has 103 turns per metre and carries current 2 A. If magnetic induction inside the core is 4π Wb m-2, the magnetic susceptibility of the core is
Correct answer: Option 2. 4999
B = μ0μrnI.
μr = 5000, so magnetic susceptibility χ = μr - 1 = 4999.
Q38
Two solenoids A and B are wound on the same core and have equal cross-sectional area. Length of A is twice that of B, and the number of turns in A is half that of B. The ratio of their self inductances A : B is
Correct answer: Option 4. 1 : 8
Self inductance of a solenoid is proportional to N2/l for the same core and area.
LA/LB = (1/2)2 × (1/2) = 1/8.
Q39
In the shown circuit segment, current increases at the rate 20 A s-1. Find VA - VB.
KUMAR PHYSICS CLASSES +91-9958461445
Correct answer: Option 4. 8 V

Applying KVL across the shown segment gives VA - VB = 8 V.
Q40
A circular coil of area 40 cm2 and resistance 10 Ω is placed in a magnetic field of 0.4 T. If the magnetic field is switched on in 1 s, the charge that flows through the coil is
Correct answer: Option 2. 160 μC
Charge q = ΔΦR = BAR.
q = (0.4)(40 × 10-4)/10 = 160 μC.
Q41
If the current through a solenoid is tripled while other parameters remain unchanged, its stored energy becomes
Correct answer: Option 2. 9 times
Energy stored in an inductor is U = (1/2)LI2.
When current becomes 3I, energy becomes 9 times.
Q42
Mutual inductance of two coils depends on:
A. Their number of turns B. Current flowing through them C. Orientation of coils
Correct answer: Option 3. Both A and C
Mutual inductance depends on geometry, number of turns, separation, area, medium and orientation.
It does not depend on the current flowing through the coils.
Q43
