SECTION-D
Case Study Based Questions
29. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
Light Emitting Diode: It is a heavily doped p-n junction which under forward bias emits spontaneous
radiation. The diode is encapsulated with a transparent cover so that emitted light can come out. When
the diode is forward biased, electrons are sent from n → p (where they are minority carriers) and holes
are sent from p → n (where they are minority carriers). At the junction boundary, the concentration of
minority carriers increases as compared to the equilibrium concentration (i.e., when there is no bias).

5
Thus, at the junction boundary on either side of the junction, excess minority carriers are there which
recombine with majority carriers near the junction. On recombination, the energy is released in the
form of photons. Photons with energy equal to or slightly less than the band gap are emitted. When
the forward current of the diode is small, the intensity of light emitted is small. As the forward current
increases, intensity of light increases and reaches a maximum. Further increase in the forward current
results in decrease of light intensity. LED's are biased such that the light emitting efficiency is
maximum The V-I characteristics of a LED is similar to that of a Si junction diode. But the threshold
voltages are much higher and slightly different for each color. The reverse breakdown voltages of
LED's are very low, typically around 5 V. So, care should be taken that high reverse voltages do not
appear across them. LED's that can emit red, yellow, orange, green and blue light are commercially
available.

(A) Lightly doped p-n junction diode. (B) Heavily doped p-n junction diode.

2. LED emits light:
(A) when reversed biased (B) When forward biased.
(C) When forward or reverse biased (D) When heated.
3. During recombination at the junction, emitted photons have:
(A) Energy greater than the band gap. (B) Energy equal to or slightly less than the band gap.
(C) Energy which has no relation with the band gap. (D) Very low energy compared to band gap.
4. Threshold voltage of LED is:
(A) lower compared to other p-n junction diodes and slightly different for each color.
(B) Higher compared to other p-n junction diodes and slightly different for each color.
(C) Higher compared to other p-n junction diodes and same for all colors.

Self-Induction. When a current I flow through a coil, flux linked with it is φ = LI, where L
is a constant known as self-inductance of the coil.

Any charge in current sets up an induced emf in the coil. Thus, self-inductance of a coil is
the induced emf set up in it when the current passing through it changes at the unit rate.
It is a measure of the opposition to the growth or the decay of current flowing through
the coil. Also, value of self-inductance depends on the number of turns in the solenoid, its

(i) For a conductor, the density of free e’s is almost independent of temperature but the
frequency of collision of e’s increases with increase in temperature. Therefore, the
relaxation time decreases. Hence the resistivity of a conductor increases with increase in
temperature (conductivity decreases).
(ii) On increasing the temperature of a semiconductor, the density of free e’s increases and
the relaxation time decreases. But the increase in ‘n’ is large than the decrease in ‘τ’.
Hence the resistivity of a semiconductor decreases with increase in temperature
(conductivity increases). 2

22 An ammeter is connected in series to a circuit. So, it must have very small 1+2
resistance so that it does not affect the current. Therefore, to convert a
galvanometer into an ammeter, a low resistance, called shunt, is connected in
parallel with the galvanometer coil.
37
 Let RG be the resistance of galvanometer and Ig be the current with which
galvanometer gives full scale deflection. A shunt of resistance S is connected
in parallel with it. To measure maximum current I, the maximum current
through galvanometer must be Ig and hence rest current I - Ig should pass
through the shunt.
As galvanometer and shunt are in parallel, the potential difference across them
is equal. So,

which entire positive charge and almost the whole mass of the atom are concentrated. ½
This core is called the nucleus (≈ 10−15 m). ½
(ii) Electrons revolve around the nucleus in various circular orbits, for which the necessary 1
centripetal force is provided by the electrostatic force of attraction between electron and ½
nucleus.

these permissible orbits, an electron does not radiate energy. These non-radiating orbits
are called stationary orbits.

when an electron jumps from a higher to a lower orbit or from a lower to a higher orbit
respectively.

Case Study Question

Whenever an electric current is passed through a conductor, it becomes hot after some
time. The phenomenon of the production of heat in a resistor by the flow of an electric
29.
current through it is called heating effect of current or Joule heating. Thus, the electrical
energy supplied by the source of emf is converted into heat. In purely resistive circuit,
the energy expended by the source entirely appears as heat. But if the circuit has an
active element like a motor, then a part of energy supplied by the source goes to do
useful work and the rest appears as heat. Joule’s law of heating forms the basis of
various electrical appliances such as electric bulb, electric furnace, electric press etc.

(i) Which of the following is correct statement?

(a) Heat produced in a conductor is independent of the current flowing. 1
(b) Heat produced in a conductor varies inversely as the current flowing.
(c) Heat produced in a conductor varies directly as the square of the current flowing.

flowing.

30. Read the paragraph and answer the below questions:

Materials are classified on the basis of their conductivity as metals, semiconductors
and insulators. Metals are having low resistivity and high conductivity. While
semiconductors are having resistivity and conductivity in between metals and
insulators. And finally, insulators are those which are having high resistivity or very
low conductivity. Semiconductors may exist as elemental semiconductors and also
compound semiconductors. Si and Ge are elemental semiconductor and CdS, GaAs,
CdSe, anthracene, polypyrene etc. are the compound semiconductors. Each electron in
an atom has different energy level and such different energy levels continuing forms
the band of energy called as energy bands. Those energy band which has energy levels
of Valence electrons is called as Valence band. And the energy band which is present
above the Valence band is called as conduction band. On the basis of energy bands
materials are also defined as metals, semiconductors and insulators. In case of metals,
conduction band and Valence band overlaps with each other due to which electrons
are easily available for conduction. In case of insulators, there is some energy gap
between conduction band and Valence band due to which no free electrons are easily
available for conduction. And in semiconductors, there is a small energy gap between
conduction band and Valence band and if we give some external energy then electron
from Valence band goes to conduction band due to which conduction will be possible.
These semiconductors are classified as intrinsic semiconductors and extrinsic
semiconductors also.

19 . Complete answer: 1
(1) In the solar system, any planet which absorbs energy is able to transmit that energy
(not more than the absorbed energy) and it transmits energy in the form of radiation.
Thus, the wavelength of the incident solar radiation which is absorbed by the surface
of the earth is equal to the wavelength of the ray re-radiated by the earth.
(2) Tanning effect is of great importance for direct UV (Ultraviolet) radiation. When
our skin is exposed to UV radiation then it increases the production of melanin. The
melanin is produced in our body in order to prevent skin from further damage. Melanin
is nothing but pigment that colours our hairs, eyes and skin and this increased amount
of melanin pigment causes skin tone to become dark.
However, glass windows are very efficient in blocking most of the ultraviolet rays, 1
however ultraviolet rays still manage to penetrate at some extent through the glass
windows. The entrance of ultraviolet rays through glass windows can cause skin
damage and other skin problems that could lead to skin irritation.

20 Answer: 1+1
Two characteristics:
1. Virtual image will be formed on the same side of object.
2. Image formed will be enlarged.
Explanation:
As you can see from the diagram when the object is placed in between optical
centre and focus of the lens image thus formed is virtual and magnified.
we can verify is use the lens equation: consider object is placed at f/2 distance
from the optical centre (just like in above diagram)
Using lens formula,

this means that the image formed is on the same side as the object (virtual).

Magnification = , which mean image is magnified.

Since nuclear forces are short-ranged, every nucleon interacts with their neighbours only.
Therefore, binding energy per nucleon remains constant.

The ac voltage to be rectified is connected to primary P1P2 of the step-down transformer.

The S1S2 is secondary of the step-down transformer. Here, S1 is connected to p-side of p-n
junction diode D1 and S2 is connected to p-side of p-n junction diode D2. Output is taken
across load resistance R. Working of a full-wave rectifier: • During positive half cycle of ac
input voltage: Suppose P1 is negative and P2 is positive. By induction, S1 is positive and S2 is
negative. Therefore, diode D1 is forward biased and diode D2 is reverse biased. Forward
current flows through diode D1 in the direction shown in the following figure and output is
taken across load resistance R. •

86
 During negative half cycle of ac input
voltage: Suppose P1 is positive and P2 is negative. By induction, S1 is negative and S2 is
positive. Therefore, diode D2 is forward biased. Forward current flows through the diode.
Forward current flows thought diode D2 in the directions shown in the figure and the output
is taken across load resistance R. • During both half cycles, current flows through R. Output is
continuous. That is why, it is called full-wave rectifier.

Or
1. Forward Bias: (i) Within the junction diode the direction of applied voltage is opposite to
that of built-in potential. (ii) The current is due to diffusion of majority charge carriers
through the junction and is of the order of milliamperes. (iii) The diode offers very small
resistance in the forward bias.
2. Reverse Bias: (i) The direction of applied voltage and barrier potential is same. (ii) The
current is due to leakage of minority charge carriers through the junction and is very small of
the order of μ A. (iii) The diode offers very large resistance in reverse bias.

26 Displacement current and generalised Ampere’s Circuital Law: Consider a 1/2
parallel plate capacitor, being charged by a battery. A time varying current is
flowing through the capacitor. If we consider only the conduction current I,
then we apply Ampere’s Circuital Law to two closed loops C1 and C2, then we
get
1/2

Since there cannot be any conduction current in region between the capacitor
plates. As C1 and C2 are very close, we must expect

But this condition is violated by equations (i) and (ii). Hence Ampere’s Circuital
Law seems to be inconsistent in this case. Therefore, Maxwell postulated the
existence of displacement current which is produced by time varying electric
field. If s (t) is the surface charge density on capacitor plates and q(t) is the
charge,
then time varying electric field E(t) = σ(t)/ε0 = q(t)/Aε0, where A is area of each
plate.

This is expression for displacement current (ld). Applying Kirchhoff’s first law at
power P, we get I = Id Hence, equation (i) and (ii) take the

27 Lens Maker’s Formula: Suppose L is a thin lens. The refractive index of the material 1
of lens is n2 and it is placed in a medium of refractive index n1. The optical 2
centre of lens is C and X ' X is principal axis. The radii of curvature of the
surfaces of the lens are R1 and R2 and their poles are P1 and P2. The thickness
of lens is t, which is very small. O is a point object on the principal axis of the
lens. The distance of O from pole P1 is u. The first refracting surface forms
the image of O at I' at a distance v' from P1. From the refraction formula at
spherical surface

The image I' acts as a virtual object for second surface and after refraction at
second surface, the final image is formed at I. The distance of I from pole P2 of
second surface is v. The distance of virtual object(I') from pole P2 is (v'). For
refraction at second surface, the ray is going from second medium (refractive
index n2) to first medium (refractive index n1), therefore from refraction
formula at spherical surface

SECTION-D (CASE STUDY BASED)

29 All magnets, no matter what their shape, have two regions called magnetic poles with the
magnetism both in and around a magnetic circuit producing a definite chain of organised
and balanced pattern of invisible lines of flux around it. These lines of flux are collectively
referred to as the “magnetic field” of the magnet. The shape of this magnetic field is more
intense in some parts than others with the area of the magnet that has the greatest
magnetism being called “poles”. At each end of a magnet is a pole. These lines of flux (called
a vector field) cannot be seen by the naked eye, but they can be seen visually by using iron
fillings sprinkled onto a sheet of paper or by using a small compass to trace them out. The
lines which go to make up a magnetic field showing the direction and intensity are called
Lines of Force or more commonly “Magnetic Flux” as shown below Lines of Force from a
Bar Magnets Magnetic Field As shown above, the magnetic field is strongest near to the
poles of the magnet were the lines of flux are more closely spaced. The general direction
for the magnetic flux flow is from the North (N) to the South (S) pole. In addition, these
magnetic lines form closed loops that leave at the north pole of the magnet and enter at
the south pole. Magnetic poles are always in pairs. However, magnetic flux does not
actually flow from the north to the south pole or flow anywhere for that matter as magnetic
flux is a static region around a magnet in which the magnetic force exists. In other words,
magnetic flux does not flow or move it is just there and is not influenced by gravity.

Dielectric with polar molecules also develops a net dipole moment in an external field,
but for a different reason. In the absence of any external field, the different permanent
dipoles are oriented randomly due to thermal agitation; so, the total dipole moment is
zero. When an external field is applied, the individual dipole moments tend to align with
the field. When summed overall the molecules, there is then a net dipole moment in the
direction of the external field, i.e., the dielectric is polarized. The extent of polarization
depends on the relative strength of two factors: the dipole potential energy in the
external field tending to align the dipoles mutually opposite with the field and thermal
energy tending to disrupt the alignment. There may be, in addition, the ‘induced dipole
moment’ effect as for non-polar molecules, but generally the alignment effect is more
important for polar molecules. Thus, in either case, whether polar or non-polar, a
dielectric develops a net dipole moment in the presence of an external field. The dipole
moment per unit volume is called polarization.

=291.5Ω
Thus I=V/Z=220V/291.5Ω= 0.755A 2
(b) Since the current is the same throughout the circuit, we have
VR=IR =0.755/200 =151 V
VC= IXC= (0.755A)(212.3) =151 V
The algebraic sum of the two voltages, VR and VC is 311.3 V which is more than the source
voltage of 220 V. How to resolve this paradox? As you have learnt in the text, the two voltages
are not in the same phase. Therefore, they cannot be added like ordinary numbers. The two
voltages are out of phase by ninety degrees. Therefore, the total of these voltages must be
obtained using the Pythagorean theorem:
VR+C=√𝑉𝑅2 + 𝑉𝐶2 =220V
Thus, if the phase difference between two voltages is properly taken into account, the total
voltage across the resistor and the capacitor is equal to the voltage of the source.
