Section A: High Order Thinking Skills (HOTS)
- Yes. Changing current in coil A produces a changing magnetic field. This changing
field passes through coil B, inducing a current in it (Electromagnetic Induction).
- Force $F = qvB\sin\theta$. Force will be zero if $\sin\theta = 0$, i.e., the alpha
particle moves parallel ($\theta=0^\circ$) or anti-parallel ($\theta=180^\circ$) to the magnetic
field.
- Field is Up. Velocity is North. Using Fleming's Left Hand Rule: Forefinger (Up),
Middle (North) -> Thumb points West. So, the proton deflects towards West. The path will be
curved (Wait... circular arc, then helical if not uniform? Here, simply it deflects towards
West).
- Inside the core of the solenoid, the field is NOT zero; it is uniform and strong.
However, if you mean inside the copper wire itself, or outside the ideal solenoid sideways, it
is negligible. (Corrected Concept: In a hollow solenoid, the field is uniform inside the empty
space. It is zero OUTSIDE the solenoid, not inside). *Actually, the question asked "Why is field
inside hollow solenoid zero?" which is a trick question or misconception. The answer should
correct it: Field is uniform inside, not zero. If it refers to neutral points, usually they are
outside.*
- Yes, work done is zero. The magnetic force acts perpendicular to the velocity ($F
\perp v$). Work $W = \int F \cdot dl$ $= \int F \cdot v dt$. Since $F \cdot v = 0$ (dot product
is
zero for perpendicular vectors), Work is zero. Kinetic energy remains constant.
- Stable equilibrium occurs when the magnetic dipole moment (normal to the loop) is
parallel to the magnetic field ($\theta=0^\circ$). The potential energy is minimum (-MB).
- The resistance of a fuse wire is higher than that of the mains connecting wire.
This ensures that more heat is generated in the fuse ($H \propto R$) so it melts first.
- They repel. Field lines between them are in the same direction, creating a region
of stronger field/pressure that pushes them apart. (Or use Fleming's Rule on one wire from field
of other).
- Zero. If the conductor is parallel to the field, Force is zero ($F=BIl\sin(0)=0$).
If force is zero, torque is zero (for straight wire translational context).
- Gauss's law for magnetism is $\oint B \cdot dA = 0$ (Net flux is zero because
monopoles don't exist). If monopoles existed, this integral would equal $\mu_0 q_m$ (magnetic
charge enclosed), similar to Gauss's law for electrostatics.
- Radius $r = mv/qB$. If speed $v$ is doubled, the radius $r$ will also be
doubled.
- No. Transformer works on the principle of mutual induction which requires a
changing magnetic flux. DC produces a constant magnetic field, so no flux change, no
induction.
- Electromagnets are temporary and can be made very strong by increasing
current/turns. They also allow turning the motor on/off and controlling speed, which permanent
magnets don't allow easily.
- Connecting 220V appliance to 440V will cause double voltage -> double current
(initially) -> Power $P=V^2/R$ becomes 4 times. The massive current will immediately blow the
fuse (if rated correctly for 220V) protecting the appliance. If no fuse, the appliance
burns.
- The circuit breaks, so no current flows. Appliances stop working. However, the
Live wire is still connected, so the internal components are at 220V potential (Shock hazard if
touched).
Section B: Case Study Based Questions
Case I
- Magnetic Resonance Imaging.
- Heart and Brain.
- By the movement of ions (charged particles) along the nerve cells.
- The earth's magnetic field is much weaker than the MRI magnetic field (which is
about 1 Tesla, approx 20,000 times earth's field).
- Tesla (T).
Case II
- Tin-Lead alloy (Solder). Chosen because it has a low melting point.
- Power $P=2000W, V=220V$. Current $I = 2000/220$ $\approx 9.09A$. Since $9.09A >
5A$
rating, the fuse will blow. No, it cannot be used.
- The rated current determining the heat generated ($H \propto I^2$). Thicker wire
has less resistance and carries more current.
- Live Wire.
- To generate enough heat to melt quickly ($H = I^2Rt$). If resistance is too low,
it might not heat up enough to melt before damage occurs elsewhere.
Case III
- Whenever the magnetic flux linked with a closed coil changes, an induced
electromotive force (emf) and current is produced in it.
- No. There is no relative motion, so no change in magnetic flux.
- Fleming's Right Hand Rule.
- AC (Alternating Current). As the coil rotates, the direction of induced current
reverses every half rotation.
- Mechanical Energy to Electrical Energy.
Section C: Assertion & Reasoning (31-45)
- (b) Both True but R is NOT correct explanation. R explains Uniformity, not Bar
Magnet behavior (which is due to field coming out at ends).
- (d) A is False but R is True. Field *decreases* as we move away ($B \propto
1/r$).
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation.
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation.
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation. ($F=qvB$, if $v=0, F=0$).
- (d) A is False (AC generator uses Slip Rings, DC Motor uses Split Rings). R is
True (Split rings reverse current).
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation.
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation. (Technically R describes the path,
confirming it is closed).
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation.
- (d) A is False. A wire carrying DC *does* produce a magnetic field and deflects a
compass (Oersted's Experiment). R is True.
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation.
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation.
- (a) Both True and R is correct explanation.
- (d) A is False. 60W bulb glows brighter in series because it has higher resistance
and $P=I^2R$. (Correct logic).
- (d) A is False (Left is for Force). R is False (Right is for Current). Both are
false. Wait, standard options only allow (d) A False R True usually, but here both are indeed
False. *Correction: Left Hand = Force. Right Hand = Current. So Reason is also False. Option (e)
Both False? Or typo in assertion logic. Let's assume standard Class 10 logic: A is False. R is
False.* Wait, let me check the question text again.
Assertion: Left Hand Rule -> Induced Current (False). Reason: Right Hand Rule -> Force (False).
Answer: Both statements are False. (If forced to choose from a-d standard, it's invalid. I will
write "Both are False").
