Q7 These questions consist of two statements, each printed as Assertion and Reason. While answering
these questions, you are required to choose any one of the following four responses.
(a) If both Assertion and Reason are correct and the Reason is a correct explanation of the
Assertion.
(b) If both Assertion and Reason are correct but Reason is not a correct explanation of the Assertion.
(c) If the Assertion is correct but Reason is incorrect.
(d) If both the Assertion and Reason are incorrect. [2]
7.1 Assertion : A uniformly charged disc has a pin hole at its centre. The electric field at the
centre of the disc is zero.
Reason : Disc can be supposed to be made up of many rings. Also electric field at the centre
of uniformly charged ring is zero.
7.2 Assertion : A point charge is brought in an electric field, the field at a nearby point will increase or
decrease, depending on the nature of charge.
Reason : The electric field is independent of the nature of charge.
Q8 The flow of charge in a particular direction constitutes the electric current. Current is measured in [4]
ampere. Quantitatively, electric current in a conductor across an area held perpendicular to the direction
of flow of charge is defined as the amount of charge is flowing across that area per unit time.
Current density at any point in a conductor is the
ratio of the current at that point in the conductor to the
area of cross section of the conductor at that point.
The given figure shows the steady current flows in a A1 A2
metallic conductor of non uniform cross section. Current
density depends inversely on area so here J1 > J2 as A1 < A2 .

8.3 When a current 40 A is flowing through a conductor of area of cross section 10 m2 , then the current
density is:-
(a) 4 A/m2 (b) 1 A/m2 (c) 2 A/m2 (d) 8 A/m2
8.4 If this metallic conductor is stretched by 4 times of its initial length and made a wire of uniform cross
section. The net change in the resistivity may be :-
(a) remains same (b) doubled (c) 4 times (d) 16 times
