SECTION A
Q1. A point charge +q is placed at a distance d from an isolated conducting
plane. The field at a point P on the other side of the plane is
(A) Directed perpendicular to the plane and away from the
plane
(B) Directed perpendicular to the plane and towards the plane
(C) Directed radially away from the point charge
(D) Directed radiallly towards the point charge
Q4. An electric dipole has the magnitude of its charge as q and its dipole
moment is p. It is placed in a uniform electric field E. If its dipole
moment is along the direction of the field, the force on it and its
potential energy are respectively-

Q.13 Assertion : Two electric lines of force can not intersect each other
Reason: Any point in space, two direction of electric field is not
possible
SECTION B
Q17 (a) A parallel plate capacitor is charged by battery. When the battery is
disconnected and a dielectric slab is then inserted in the space
between the plates, Explain what changes if any occur in the value of
( I) capacitance (ii) potential difference (iii) electric field (iv) energy
stored.
Q18 State Lenz’s law. A metallic rod held horizontally along east –west
direction, is allowed to fall under gravity. Will there be an emf induced
at its ends? Justify your answer.
OR
Q23. Draw a graph showing variation of Binding energy per nucleon with
mass number for a large number of nuclie. What are main interferences
from the graph. How do you explain consistency of binding energy in the
range 30<A<170 using the property that the nuclear forces are short
ranged? Then explain release of energy in the process of nuclear fission
and fusion.
OR

transition will result in the emission of a photon of wavelength
275nm? (b) Which transition is corresponding to maximum
wavelength
SECTION D

(a)Which two main considerations are kept in mind while designing the
objective of an astronomical telescope? Draw a ray diagram showing
how the final image of a distant object formed using an astronomical
telescope in the normal adjustment position. Derive mathematical
expression for its magnifying power.
(b)You are given three lenses of power 0.5D, 4Dand 10 D. Which lenses
should be used as objective and eye lens in astronomical telescope.
Justify your answer.
