   (a) r
   (b) r²
   (c) 1/r
   (d) 1/r²
   Answer: (c) 1/r

   (v) Which of the following equations gives the correct expression for the internal resistance of a cell by using a potentiometer?
   (a) r = R (V/E - 1)
   (b) r = R (1 - E/V)
   (c) r = R (1 - V/E)
   (d) r = R (E/V - 1)
   Answer: (c) r = R (1 - V/E)

   (a) proton
   (b) electron
   (c) hydrogen atom
   (d) α-particle
   Answer: (b) electron

   (vii) The gate which produces high output when both inputs are high is –
   (a) X-OR gate
   (b) AND gate
   (c) NAND gate
   (d) NOR gate
   Answer: (b) AND gate

(a) π W
(b) 2π W
(c) 3π W
(d) 4π W
Answer: (b) 2π W

(a) 0.5 m
(b) 1.0 m
(c) 1.5 m
(d) 2.0 m
Answer: (a) 0.5 m

(x) A transformer increases an alternating e.m.f. from 220V to 880V. If the primary coil has 1000 turns, the number of turns in the secondary coil is _____.
(a) 1000
(b) 2000
(c) 3000
(d) 4000
Answer: (b) 2000

Q. 2 Answer the following questions:

(i) At what temperature does the surface tension of a liquid become zero?
Answer: At the critical temperature of the liquid.

(ii) Define self-inductance.
Answer: Self-inductance is the property of a coil by which it opposes the change in current flowing through it by inducing an electromotive force (emf) in itself.

(iii) What is the work done by an external uniform magnetic field perpendicular to the velocity of a moving charge?
Answer: The work done is zero because the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity, causing circular motion without changing kinetic energy.

(iv) What do you mean by a thermodynamic system?
Answer: A thermodynamic system is a specific region in space or a defined quantity of matter that is under study, where energy and matter exchanges occur with its surroundings.

(v) What is the value of B called when H = 0 in the hysteresis loop?
Answer: It is called remanent magnetization (Br) or remanence.
