1. 45 degree

2. 30 degree

3. 60 degree

4. cos-1(3/8) rad

When unpolarized light is passed through the polarizer the intensity becomes half, Hence after passing through polarizer equals  Now after coming out of the analyzer, the intensity becomes  Use Malus Law,  Option (2) is correct.

A potential difference of 1V is applied across the other diagonal. What will be the current in the resistor along the diagonal?

1. 0.5 A

2. 1 A

3. 5 A

4. Zero

By closely observing at the figure, you will find that this circuit is a balanced wheat stone bridge. Hence no current will pass through the diagonal. Option (4) is correct
1. The acceleration is constant both in magnitude and direction.

2. The acceleration is constant in direction but not in magnitude

3. The acceleration is constant in magnitude but not in direction

4. The acceleration is neither constant in magnitude nor in direction.

In any type of motion, Force either changes the direction of particle or magnitude or both. In a uniform circular motion, the velocity of the particle is constant and the magnitude is constant as well and it equals to $a_{c} = \frac{v^{2}}{r}$ . So the direction of the particle changes because of the force, if there was no force then the particle might have followed a straight path rather than a circular path.

So option (3) is correct.

In a large building, there are 15 bulbs of   40 W, 5 bulbs of 100 W, 5 fans of 80 W and 1 heater of 1 kW.  The voltage of the electric mains is 220 V.  The minimum capacity of the main fuse of the building will be :

• Option 1)

8 A

• Option 2)

10 A

• Option 3)

12 A

• Option 4)

14 A

As we have learned

In parallel Grouping -

$\frac{1}{R_{eq}}=\frac{1}{R_{1}}+\frac{1}{R_{2}}+\cdot \cdot \cdot +\frac{1}{R_{n}}$

-

Resistance of each bulb of 40 W $= \frac{v^2 }{P } = \frac{220 ^2 }{40 }= 1210 \Omega$

Resistance of 15 bulbs = 1210/15 = 242/3 $\Omega$

Resistance of 100 W bulb = $\frac{v^2 }{P }= \frac{220 ^2 }{100} = 484 \Omega$

Resistance of 5 such bulbs = 485/5 $\Omega$

Resistance of fan =  $\frac{v^2 }{P }= \frac{220 ^2 }{80}$   =  605 $\Omega$

Resistance of 5 such fan  = 605 /5 $\Omega$

= 121 $\Omega$

Resistance of heater = $\frac{220 ^2 }{1000} = 242 /5\Omega$

Equivalent resistance

$\frac{1}{R} = \frac{1}{R_1}+ \frac{1}{R_2} + \frac{1}{R_3}+ \frac{1}{R_4}\\ = \frac{3}{242} + \frac{5}{484}+ \frac{5}{605}+\frac{5}{242} \\$

$= \frac{6+5+4+10}{484} = \frac{25 }{484}$

R = 484 / 25

$I \geq \frac{V}{}R = \frac{220 }{\frac{484}{25}} = \frac{125 }{11} = 11.36 A$

$I^{min } = 12 A$

Option 1)

8 A

Option 2)

10 A

Option 3)

12 A

Option 4)

14 A

Two electric bulbs marked  25 W-220 V and 100 W - 220 V are connected in series to a 440 V supply .Which of the bulbs will fuse?

• Option 1)

both

• Option 2)

100W

• Option 3)

25 W

• Option 4)

neither

As discussed in:

Series Grouping -

Potential - Different

Current - Same

- wherein

$I_{1}=\frac{P_{1}}{V_{1}}$

$I_{1}=\frac{25}{220}Amp$

Similarly,

$I_{2}=\frac{P_{2}}{V_{2}}=\frac{100}{220}Amp$

The current flowing through the circuit $I=\frac{440}{Reff}$

$Reff= R_{1}+R_{2}$

$R_{1}= \frac{V^{2}_{1}}{P_{1}}=\frac{(220)^{2}}{25}$

$R_{2}= \frac{V^{2}_{2}}{P_{1}}=\frac{(220)^{2}}{100}$

$\therefore I=\frac{440}{\frac{(220)^{2}}{25}+\frac{(220)^{2}}{100}}$

After solving this, we get $I=\frac{40}{220}Amp$

$\because I_{1}(=\frac{25}{220}A)< I(=\frac{40}{220}A)

Thus the bulb rated 25W-220V will fuse.

Option 1)

both

Option 2)

100W

Option 3)

25 W

Option 4)

neither
