magnetic field in a direction perpendicular to will describe circular trajectories of equal radii.

Reason (R): The average velocity of free electron is zero.

13. Assertion (A): The torque on the coil is maximum when the coil is suspended in a radial magnetic field.
Reason (R): The torque tends to rotate the coil about its own axis.
14. Assertion: If an electron and proton enter in an electric field with equal energy, the path of the electron is
more curved than that of the proton.
Reason: Electron has a tendency to form a large curve due to small mass.
15. Assertion (A): A circular loop carrying current lies in X, Y - plane with its centre at origin having a
magnetic flux in negative z-axis.
Reason (R): Magnetic flux direction is independent of the direction of current in the conductor.

Answer questions 16-20 based on the following case study:

A galvanometer can be converted into voltmeter of given range by connecting a suitable resistance Rs in series
with the galvanometer, whose value is given by
Rs =
where V is the voltage to be measured, Ig is the current for full scale deflection of galvanometer and G is the
resistance of galvanometer.

The series resistor (Rs) increases the range of the voltmeter and the effective resistance of the galvanometer. It
also protects the galvanometer from damage due to large current.
A voltmeter is a high resistance instrument and it is always connected in parallel with the circuit element
across which potential difference is to be measured. An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance. In order to
increase the range of voltmeter n times the value of resistance to be connected in series with galvanometer is Rs
= (n - 1)G.
Based on the information given above, answer the following questions:

Solution

1. (b) (n - 1)R0
Explanation: For a range V, the current flowing is I, and V = IR0
If a resistance R is connected in series, the range of the voltmeter increases to nV.

5. (b) accelerate charged particles or ions to high energies

Explanation: Cyclotron is a particle accelerator, which uses electric field to accelerate the charged
particle and magnetic field to make it move in a circular path. During acceleration in the electric field,
the particle acquires high energies of the order of a few million electron volts.
6. (c)

7. (c) 4B
Explanation: Magnetic field due to coil is directly proportional to no. of turns and inversely
proportional to radius. As radius become half and no. of turns gets doubled, so magnetic field gets 4
times.

through a circular conductor, the magnetic field lines near the centre of the conductor are almost
straight lines. Magnetic flux direction is determined only by the direction of the current.
