Class 12 Question Answers

Compare solenoid and bar magnet fields.

The magnetic field of a long solenoid resembles that of a bar magnet — it has a north and south pole and similar field line patterns.

State Kirchhoff’s laws and apply them to a Wheatstone bridge.

·         Kirchhoff’s Current Law (KCL): Total current entering a junction = total current leaving.·         Kirchhoff’s Voltage Law (KVL): Algebraic sum of all potential differences in a closed loop is zero. Used i...

What are the laws of Reflection?

·         Two fundamental laws govern reflection.The angle of incidence (I) equals the angle of reflection (r).At the point of incidence, the incident ray, reflected ray, and the normal to the reflecting surface lie i...

Magnifying power of a simple microscope is inversely proportional to the focal length of the lens. What then stops us from using a convex lens of smaller and sm...

The convex lens's focal length cannot be reduced by a more significant amount. This is because making lenses having tiny focal lengths is not easy.  Spherical and chromatic aberrations are created by a convex le...

In viewing through a magnifying glass, one usually positions one's eyes very close to the lens. Does angular magnification change if the eye is moved back?

Yes, the angular magnification varies. When the length between the eye and a magnifying glass rises, the angular magnification reduces slightly because the subtended angle at the eye is imperceptibly less than the le...

The angle subtended at the eye by an object is equal to the angle subtended at the eye by the virtual image produced by a magnifying glass. In what sense then d...

Though the image size is larger than the object, the angular size of the image is equivalent to the angular size of the object. A magnifying glass supports one seeing the objects closer than the least distance of dist...

Why is choke coil needed in the use of fluorescent tubes with ac mains? Why can we not use an ordinary resistor instead of the choke coil?

As the choke coil reduces the voltage across the tube without wasting much power, it is used in the fluorescent tubes with ac mains. An ordinary resistor cannot be used instead of choke coil because it wastes power in...

A choke coil in series with a lamp is connected to a dc line. The lamp is seen to shine brightly. Insertion of an iron core in the choke causes no change in the...

When an iron core is inserted in the choke coil (which is in series with a lamp connected to an ac line), the lamp will glow dimly. This is because the choke coil and the iron core increase the impedance of the cir...

An applied voltage signal consists of a superposition of a dc voltage and an ac voltage of high frequency. The circuit consists of an inductor and a capacitor i...

The dc signal will appear across capacitor C because for dc signals, the impedance of an inductor L is negligible while the impedance of a capacitor C  is very high (almost infinite).Therefore, a dc signal appears acr...

A capacitor is used in the primary circuit of an induction coil.

Yes, a capacitor is used in the primary circuit of an induction coil. This is because, when the circuit is broken, a high induced voltage is used to charge the capacitor to avoid sparks.
