General Instructions
(a) All questions are compulsory.
(b) There are 30 questions in total. Questions 1 to 8 carry one mark each, questions 9 to
18 carry two marks each, questions 19 to 27 carry three marks each and questions 28
to 30 carry five marks each.
(c) There is no overall choice. However, an internal choice has been provided in one
question of two marks, one question of three marks and two questions of five marks
each. You have to attempt only one of the given choices in such questions.
(d) Use of calculators is not permitted.
(e) You may use the following physical constants wherever necessary :
c = 3 x 108ms-1 ; h = 6.6 x 10-34Js ; e = 1.6 x 10-19 C

14. A rectangular wire loop of sides 8 cm and 2 cm with a small cut is moving out of a
region of uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.3 T directed normal to the loop. What
is the emf developed across the cut if the velocity of the loop is 1 cm s–1 in a direction
normal to the longer side of the loop? For how long does the induced voltage last?

28. In the meter bridge experiment, a student observed a balance point at the point J,
where AJ = l. The values of R and X are both doubled and then interchanged. What
would be the new position of the balance point? Fig 8 3

of a cell. How can the internal resistance of the cell be
determined from this graph? Fig 8

OR
The following circuit, Fig 9, shows the use of potentiometer
to measure the internal resistance of a cell:
a. When the key K is open, how does the balance point
charge, if the current from the driver cell decreases?
b. When the key K is closed, how does the balance
point change if R is increased, keeping the current from the driver cell constant ?
