Ques 1: Define the electric dipole moment. What is the direction of this vector? (1)
Ans:
It is defined as the product of magnitude of charge and the distance between them, that is, 2qa and the direction is from –q to +q.

Ques 2: What is the SI unit of electric flux and electric field? (1)
Ans:
Electric flux: V.m; Electric field: V/m.

Ques 3: The number of turns in the secondary of a transformer is 100 times the number of turns in the primary. If 1kW of power is supplied to the primary, how much power is obtained at the secondary? (1)
Ans: 
The input power is equal to the output power if 100% efficiency is assumed. So the power at the secondary will be 1kW.

Ques 4: Arrange these in decreasing order of frequency: microwaves, infrared, x-ray, visible rays. (1)
Ans:
X-ray, infrared, visible, microwaves

Ques 5: Which of these quantities remains unchanged when light is refracted: wavelength, frequency and velocity? (1)

Physics: Sample Question Paper- 1, Class 12 | Physics Class 12 - NEET
For the same kinetic energy, de Broglie wavelength depends on the mass of the particle.
As alpha particle is the most massive of the three its de Broglie wavelength will be the shortest.

Ques 10: Is it correct to say that a potentiometer is equivalent to an ideal voltmeter? (2)
Ans:
Yes, because the potentiometer does not draw any current from the circuit but it still measures the potential difference.
An ideal voltmeter has infinite resistance, and hence it does not draw any current from the circuit.

Ques 11: A magician during a magic show makes a glass lens with n = 1.47 disappear in a trough of liquid. What is the refractive index of the liquid? What is the focal length of the glass lens in the liquid? (2)
Ans: 
The refractive index of the liquid must be equal to 1.47 for the lens to disappear. Now the focal length of the lens is 1/f = 0 or f tends to infinity. In other words, the lens in the liquid, acts like a plane sheet of glass.

Ques 13: Why does a paramagnetic sample display greater magnetism when cooled? Why is diamagnetism, in contrast, almost independent of temperature? (2)
OR
Why are sky waves not used for transmission of TV signals? State two factors that can increase the range of transmission.
Ans: 
The random thermal motion is reduced at low temperatures, so the tendency to disturb the alignment of dipoles is reduced at lower temperatures. However, in a diamagnetic sample the alignment is opposite to the magnetising field, so temperature does not affect diamagnetism.
OR
TV signals have a frequency between 100 and 200 MHz, so they are not reflected by the ionosphere. Thus their transmission via sky waves is not possible. The range can be increased by using, i) taller antenna, and ii) geostationary satellites.

Ques 14: What is power factor? Why does a low power factor imply large power loss in transmission? (2)
Ans: 
Power factor is cos∅ where P = VIcos∅.
If power factor is small, the current has to be increased to maintain the same power. This leads to greater I2R losses in transmission.

Physics: Sample Question Paper- 1, Class 12 | Physics Class 12 - NEET
On the equatorial plane V = 0 everywhere.

Ques 18: The electron drift arises due to the force experienced by electrons in the electric field inside the conductor. A force causes acceleration in accordance with Newton’s second law. Why then do the electrons acquire a steady average drift speed but no acceleration?
What is the path of electrons along a straight line between successive collisions in the presence of an electric field? (3)
Ans: 
Each free electron accelerates due to the force that acts on it. This increases its drift speed until it collides with a positive ion of the metal. It loses some energy after each collision, but it again accelerates and then collides and once again loses some energy. This sequence of events continues.
Hence, on an average the electrons acquire only a drift speed but they are not able to accelerate.
In the presence of an electric field the path of the electrons is generally curved, rather than straight.

Ques 20: Two devices A and B are connected independently to a variable frequency alternating voltage source. The current in A leads the applied voltage whereas the current in B lags the applied voltage.
i) Identify the circuit element A and B.
ii) How will the current in these circuit elements change if the applied frequency is decreased? (3)
Ans: 
A is a capacitor and B is an inductor.
On decreasing the frequency of the applied voltage the inductive reactance decreases, so the current through the inductor will increase.
For this change in the frequency, the capacitive reactance increases, so the current through the capacitor decreases.

Ques 21: An ac voltage E = E0 sinωt is applied across a pure inductor of inductance L. Show mathematically that the current flowing through it lags behind the applied voltage by a phase angle of π/2. (3)
Ans:
