Magnetic induction in region is given as B  3 ˆj  4iˆ

Torque vector on the ring acts along the direction 
Thus the ring will topple about a point located on the line perpendicular to the direction of torque vector
which is 3iˆ  4 ˆj . Thus the point on ring located in this direction is (3, 4).

6.(B) There exists a point P on the x-axis (other than the origin), where net electric field is zero. Once the charge
Q reaches point P, attractive forces of the two negative charge will dominate and automatically cause the
charge Q to cross the origin.
Now if Q is projected with just enough velocity to reach P, its
K.E. at P is zero.
But while being attracted towards origin it acquires K.E. & hence
its net energy at the origin is positive.
(P.E. at origin = zero).

14.(BC)In steady state current through branch of capacitor is zero. Thus current flows through 200 and 900
and ammeter A 2 in series combination.
Potential difference across the capacitor is given as
q 4  103
VC    40V
C 100  106
This is also potential drop across 900 resistance and 100 ammeter A 2 in series of which the total
resistance is 1000 . This 1000  and 200  resistance are in series so we use
V1000  40
V2  V200     8V
5 5
Thus battery EMF is given as
E  V1000   V200   48V
Current through the battery is given as
E 48 1
i  i  A
R 1200 25
Thus options (B) and (C) is correct.
15.(AD)Magnetic field due to outer loop is into the plane within the loop. So I (d  B ) is radially outward for
inner loop.

16.(ABD)Increasing the accelerating voltage means increasing speed of the electron, thereby decreasing time spent
between the plates. It will reduce X.
Increasing deflecting voltage means increasing electric field between the plates, making acceleration of
electron greater. Increasing distance once again will change electric field between the plates.

(A) By inserting dielectric slab, capacitance of 1 increases there by increasing charge on capacitor 2 as
more charge is flown through the battery. Energy stored in capacitor also increases.
(B) By increasing separation between the plates, capacitor C 1 decreases. Charge on C2 also decreases
(C) By shorting capacitor 1, only capacitor 2 remains in the circuit. Potential difference across C2
increases thereby increasing charge on 2 as well as energy stored

change, making no overall change in the circuit
