3. The ampere is the value of that steady current which, when maintained in each of the 
two very long, straight, parallel conductors of negligible cross-section, and placed one 
metre apart in vacuum, would produce on each of these conductors a force equal to 2 × 
10

4. The lens will behave as a diverging lens.  
The lens is of refractive index lesser than the medium in which it is placed. Hence, its 
nature does not change. 
 
5. Electric field line is a curve drawn in such a way that the tangent to it at each point is in 
the direction of the net field at that point. Two fields can never cross each other. If they 
did ,it means the field at the point of intersection will not have a unique direction, which 
is meaningless) 
 
6. The frequency belongs to microwave region of the electromagnetic spectrum. 
 
7. Neutrinos interact very weakly with other particles. Since they can penetrate large 
quantity of matter without interacting  they remain  undetected throughout the  
experiments. 
 
8. a.c. voltage is preferred over d.c. because 
(i) a.c. voltages can be easily stepped up or down with the help of transformers. 
(ii) Electrical energy can be transmitted efficiently and economically over long 
distances with higher voltage and lower current.

11. The terminal voltage across a cell is given as 
 V E Ir ?? 
Here, E is the e.m.f. of the cell and r is its internal resistance. 
The above equation is of the form y = mx + c where y = V, m = -r, x = I and c = E 
 
Hence, the graph of V vs I will be as shown below. 
 
From the graph, it is clear that the y-intercept, that is, the intercept on V-axis gives the 
value of e.m.f. (E) of the cell. 
Also, the negative of slope of the graph gives the internal resistance (r) of the cell. 
 
12. The capacitance of two capacitors is same, i.e. C. 
The voltage across charged capacitor is V 1 = V and that across uncharged capacitor is V 2 
= 0. 
 
Thus, the initial energy stored in the capacitor is

capacitors form a parallel combination.
