Kirchhoff’s Rules
In 1942, a German physicist Kirchhoff extended Ohm’s law to complicated circuits and gave two laws, which enable us
to determine current in any part of such a circuit. According to Kirchhoff’s first rule, the algebraic sum of the current
meeting at a junction in a closed electric circuit is zero. The current flowing in a conductor towards the junction is taken
as positive and the current flowing away from the junction is taken as negative. According to Kirchhoff’s second rule, in
a closed loop, the algebraic sum of the emf’s and algebraic sum of the products of current and resistance in the various
arms of the loop is zero. While traversing a loop, if negative pole of the cell is encountered first, then its emf is
negative, otherwise positive.

rod, it experiences a force to the left due to the magnetic field. In order to pull the rod to the right with constant speed,
this force must be balanced by the puller. The emf induced in the rod is

24. When a point charge +q is placed at a distance d from an isolated conducting plane, some negative charge develops on the

Hence, the value of potential at very far point will depend upon q.x.
30. The relationship between current and drift speed is given by I = ne Aud
Here, I is the current and ud is the drift velocity.
So, I µ ud
Thus, only drift velocity determines the current in a conductor.
31. When charge moves without collisions through conductor, their kinetic energy would also change but the total energy
remains constant.
32. BC is the region, where Ohm’s law is obeyed because in this part, the current varies linearly with the voltage.
33. According to Ampere’s circuital law,
1 B. dI = m0 Ienclosed,
where Ienclosed is the net current I flowing through the area enclosed by the closed path.

35. Field along the axis of a solenoid is

where, B = magnetic field
m0 = permeability of free space
n = the number of turns per unit length

So, according to the formula, magnitude of the magnetic field inside a long solenoid is increased by introducing a medium
of higher permeability.

40. Lenz’s law obeys the law of conservation of energy. According to it, the polarity of induced emf is such, it tends to produce
a current that opposes the change in magnetic flux.
41. The induced emf will oppose the motion of the magnet. So, by applying Lenz’s law, the direction of induced current will be
anti-clockwise.
42. For a resistor, the phase difference between current and potential difference is zero, whereas, in a pure inductor the current

45. There will be only one neutral point on the horizontal board. This is because, field of earth’s magnetic field is from
south to north; and the field of pole on the board is radially outwards. At any point towards south of magnetic pole,
field of earth and field of pole will cancel out to give a neutral point.
46. According to Gauss’s theorem in electrostatics,
f = q/e0
q = e0f = 8·85 × 10–12 [8 × 103 – 2 × 103]
= 53·10 × 10–9 C = 0·053 mC.
47. Let two capacitors be connected in series. If +q charge is installed on left plate of the first capacitor then –q charge is
induced on right plate of this capacitor. This charge comes from electron drawn from the left plate of second capacitor.
Thus, there will be equal charge +q on the left plate of second capacitor and –q charge induced on the right plate of
second capacitor. Thus, each capacitor has same charge (q) when connected in series. Capacitance is quantity dependent
on construction of capacitor and independent of charge.

It means if l is doubled, the drift velocity will become half of the original value.
49. In a conductor, the average velocity of electrons is zero. Hence no current flows through the conductor. Hence, no
force acts on this conductor.

Quantization of Elctric Charge
Smallest charge that can exist in nature is the charge of an electron. During friction it is only the transfer of electrons which
makes the body charged. Hence net charge on any body is an integral multiple of charge of an electron [1·6 × 10–19 C] i.e.,
+2e +10 e
= –e = 15e
–3e +5e
q = ± ne
where n = 1, 2, 3, 4, ...

38. Magnetic lines of forces are continuous curves. Magnetic lines of forces do not intersect each other. Magnetic lines of
forces always enter into south pole from its outside region.
39. The statement (d) is incorrect and it can be corrected as,
We cannot isolate the north or south pole of a magnet. If a bar magnet is broken into two halves, we get two similar
magnets with weaker properties. Unlike electric charges isolated magnetic north and south poles known as magnetic
monopoles do not exist.
40. The statement given in option (d) is correct but rest are incorrect and these can be corrected as
The vertical plane containing the longitude circle and the axis of rotation of the earth is called the geographic meridian.
While, magnetic meridian of a place is the vertical plane which passes through the imaginary line joining the magnetic
north and the south poles.
The angle between the true geographic north and the north shown by a compass needle is called the magnetic declination
or simple declination.
The declination is greater at higher latitudes and smaller near the equator.

43. When magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, induced emf is produced in it and the induced current flows through the wire
forming the coil.
These currents oppose the cause of their origin, therefore due to eddy currents, a great amount of energy is wasted in the
form of heat energy. If core of transformer is laminated, then their effect can be minimised.
44. Transformation ratio
NS V
K = 1 S
NP VP
For step-up transformer,
NS > NP
i.e. VS > VP
Hence, K > 1.
45. (b) A step down transformer converts electrical energy from a high voltage to one at a low voltage. Accordingly the current
in the secondary will be larger than that in the primary. In order to produce less heat in the secondary, we use a wire of
lesser resistance i.e. thick wire. We also know that when the plane of the armature is parallel to the lines of force of
magnetic field, the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with it is maximum. Therefore, the e.m.f. induced in the armature
in this orientation is maximum.
46. E.m.f. induces, when there is change in magnetic flux. The magnitude of induced e.m.f. depends upon the rate at which the
magnetic flux changes. When magnetic flux is steady or constant no e.m.f. is induced. Faraday did experiment in which,
there is relative motion between the coil and magnet, the flux linked with the coil changes and e.m.f. induces.
47. The earth has only vertical component of its magnetic field at the magnetic poles. Since compass needle is only free to
rotate in horizontal plane. At north pole the vertical component of earth’s field will exert torque on the magnetic needle
so as to align it along its direction. As the compass needle can not rotate in vertical plane, it will rest horizontally, when
placed on the magnetic north pole of the earth.
48. The magnetic field at the centre of circular coil is given by
1 0 2 2n I
B =
42 a
so if current through coil is doubled then magnetic field is B = 2B.
The magnetic field also get doubled. The magnetic field is directly proportional to the current in conductor.
49. (b) Current is a scalar quantity. It is justified by the following two observations :
(i) If Current carrying wire is bent at some point, then also current in the wire remains same, while a vector quantity
always changes by changing its direction.
(ii) Current flowing in the circuit do not follow the laws of vector addition. It follows according to ordinary rule of
algebra. This makes it clear that current is not a vector but a scalar quantity. Also current is defined as rate of flow of

51. Electric field is directly proportional to the charge.
So, when the charge of the body becomes half, then the electric field becomes half.
52. The inductance in a coil plays the same role as inertia in mechanics.

16. To utilise a galvanometer (G) as ammeter, there is the difficulty in measurement of current due to the sensitivity of

Therefore, it is not true that the third charge has to be Q/4 only. If can be of any value.
46. The current in a wire is due to flow of free electrons in a definite direction. But the number of protons in the wire at
any instant is equal to number of electrons and charge on an electron is equal and opposite to that of proton. Hence, net
charge on the wire is zero.
47. An ammeter is a low resistance galvanometer. It is used to measure the current in amperes. To measure the current of a
circuit, the ammeter is connected in series in the circuit so that the current to be measured must pass through it. Since,
the resistance of ammeter is low, so its inclusion in series in the circuit does not change the resistance and hence the
main current in the circuit.
48. Magnetic dipole moment of the current loop = Ampere turns × Area of the coil or M = NIpr2
When radius of the coil becomes double, new magnetic moment will be M1 = NIp(2r)2 = 4NIpr2 = 4 M
Hence magnetic moment becomes four times when radius is doubled.
49. When we pull a copper plate out of the magnetic field or push it into the magnetic field, magnetic flux linked with the
plate changes. As a result of this eddy currents are produced in the plate which oppose its motion (according to Lenz’s
law).
50. The deflection in galvanometer will not be changed due to interchange of battery and the galvanometer.

the motion along B will not be affected by B .
