GRADE: XII E WORKSHEET - PHYSICS

1. A small metal sphere carrying charge +Q is located at the centre of a spherical cavity in a
large uncharged metallic spherical shell. Write the charges on the inner and outer
surfaces of the shell. Write the expression for the electric field at the point P1

2. The given graph shows variation of charge ‘q’ versus potential difference ‘V’ for two
capacitors C1 and C2 . Both the capacitors have same plate separation but plate area of
C2 is greater than that of C1 . Which line (A or B) corresponds to C1 and why

3. Figure shows the field lines on a positive charge. Is the work done by the field in moving
a small positive charge from Q to P positive or negative? Give reason.

4. A cell of emf ‘E’ and internal resistance ‘r’ is connected across a variable resistor ‘R’. Plot
a graph showing variation of terminal voltage ‘V’ of the cell versus the current ‘I’. Using
the plot, show how the emf of the cell and its internal resistance can be determined.
5. A potential difference V is applied across a conductor of length L and diameter D. How is
the drift velocity, vd , of charge carriers in the conductor affected when (i) V is halved, (ii)
L is doubled and (iii) D is halved ? Justify your answer in each case.
6. Two parallel uniformly charged infinite plane sheets, ‘1’ and ‘2’, have charge densities +
 and – 2  respectively. Give the magnitude and direction of the net electric field at a
point (i) in between the two sheets and (ii) outside near the sheet ‘1’.
7. Depict the equipotential surfaces due to (i) an electric dipole, (ii) two identical positive
charges separated by a distance
8. A conductor of length L is connected to a d.c. source of emf ‘E’. If the length of the
conductor is tripled by stretching it, keeping ‘E’ constant, explain how its drift velocity
would be affected.
9. Two metallic resistors are connected first in series and then in parallel across a d.c. supply.
Plot of I – V graph is shown for the two cases. Which one represents a parallel combination
of the resistors and why?

10. Explain what is the effect of inserting a dielectric slab of dielectric constant k in the
intervening space inside the plates on (i) the electric field, (ii) the capacitance of the
capacitor.
11. Find the equivalent capacitance of the network shown in the figure, when each capacitor
is of 1 F. When the ends X and Y are connected to a 6 V battery, find out (i) the charge
and (ii) the energy stored in the network.

12. (i)On the basis of electron drift, derive an expression for resistivity of a conductor in terms
of number density of free electrons and relaxation time. On what factors does resistivity
of a conductor depend?
(ii) Why alloys like constantan and manganin are used for making standard resistors?
