Q22
Describe the working principle of a moving coil galvanometer. Why is it necessary to use
(i) a radial magnetic field and
(ii)a cylindrical soft iron core in a galvanometer? Write the expression for current sensitivity of the galvanometer. Can a galvanometer as such be used for measuring the current ? Explain.
OR
(a) Define the term ‘self-inductance’ and write its S.I. unit.
(b) Obtain the expression for the mutual inductance of two long co-axial solenoids S₁ and S₂ wound one over the other, each of length L and radii r₁ and r₂ and n₁ and n, number of turns per unit length, when a current I is set up in the outer solenoid S₂.

Q23
Mrs. Rashmi Singh broke her reading glasses. When she went to the shopkeeper to order new spects, he suggested that she should get spectacles with plastic lenses instead of glass lenses. On getting the new spectacles, she found that the new ones were thicker than the earlier ones, she asked this question to the shopkeeper but he could not offer satisfactory explanation for this. At home, Mrs. Singh raised the same question to her daughter Anuja who explained why plastic lenses were thicker.
(a) Write two qualities displayed each by Anuja and her mother.
(b) How do you explain this fact using lens maker’s formula ?

Q25
(a) Distinguish between unpolarised light and linearly polarised light. How does one get linearly polarised light with the help of a Polaroid ?
(b)A narrow beam of unpolarised light of intensity I₀ is incident on a polaroid P₁ The light transmitted by it is then incident on a second polaroid P₁ with its pass axis making angle of 60° relative to the pass axis of P₁ Find the intenstity of the light transmitted by P₂.
OR
(a) Explain two features to distinguish between the interference pattern in Young’s double slit experiment with the diffraction pattern obtained due to a single slit.
(b) A monochromatic light of wavelength 500 nm is incident normally on a si

Q26
(a) Derive an expression for drift velocity of electrons in a conductor. Hence deduce Ohm’s law.
(b) A wire whose cross-sectional area is increasing linearly from its one end to the other, is connected across a battery of V volts. Which of the following quantities remain constant in the wire ?
(i) drift speed
(ii) current density
(iii) electric current
(iv) electric field Justify your answer.
OR
(a) State the two Kirchhoff’s laws. Explain briefly how these rules are justified.
(b) The current is drawn from a cell of emf E and internal resistance r connected to the network of resistors each of resistan
