Tips on solving short questions | Physics in Depth

-

Some tips to correctly solve the short questions:
  • Don't panic: Most of the students find the questions horrible at the very instant they confront the question. Take a deep breath and organize the every possible information.  You will probably find the hint!
  • Read the question carefully: Short questions are very logical. Reading questions carefully will help you to understand the question. As an example take the question " Can a body having constant speed have varying velocity?". Answer to this is Yes! which can be simply implied from the differences between speed and velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity whereas velocity vary with direction. So speed remaining constant with velocity variable implies that magnitude of both speed and velocity are constant however the direction of body is changing and hence the velocity(Confused?). This is possible in case of circular motion(Think!).
  • Mathematical formulation: Try to aid your answers with mathematical formulation wherever possible. Do not simply write the logic and reasons. Flavor it with formulas and you are sure to grasp the full marks.

Model Question Solution Group 'A' 1. A metre rule is used to measure the length of a piece of string in a certain experiment. It is found to be 20 cm long to the nearest millimeter. How should this result be recorded in a table of results? (a) 0.2000 m (b) 0.200 m (c) 0.20 m (d) 0.2 m Explanation: From the question, it is obvious that the least count of the metre scale is 1 mm as it measures upto the millimeter. Since, 1 mm = 0.001 m . So, result should have three significant figures. Thus, \[\begin{align*} 20 cm &= \frac{20}{100}\\ \therefore 20 cm &=0.200 \hspace{0.01cm} m\\ \end{align*}\] 2. Forces are applied to a rigid body. The forces all act in the same plane. In which diagram is the body in equilibrium? (b) Explanation: In this case, the downward force has balanced the upward force and hence the body is in equilibrium. 3. An athlete makes a long jump a...

The magnetic flux passing perpendicular to the plane of coil is given by φ = 4t 2 +5t+2 where φ is in weber and t is in second. Calculate the magnitude of instantaneous emf induced in the coil when t = 2 sec. Solution: Given, magnetic flux, φ = 4t 2 +5t+2 time, t = 2 sec induced emf, ε = ? From Faraday's law, \[\begin{align*} \epsilon& = -\frac{d\phi}{dt}\\ &=-\frac{d(4t^2+5t+2)}{dt}\\ &=-(8t+5)\\ \end{align*}\] At t = 2 sec, the induced emf is , \[\begin{align*} \epsilon&=-(8 \times 2 + 5)\\ \therefore \epsilon& = -21\hspace{0.1cm}\text{V}\\ \end{align*}\] Thus, the magnitude of induced emf is 21 V. A straight conductor of length 25 cm is moving perpendicular to its length with a uniform speed of 10 m/s making an angle of 45 0 with a uniform magnetic field of 10 T. Calcuate the emf induced across its length. Solution: Given, length, l = 25 cm = 0.25 m sp...

Electrons Introduction and background Electron is the lightest subatomic particle. It carries a charge of -1.602176634 × 10 -19 C, which is considered the fundamental or basic unit of electric charge. The mass of an electron is 9.1093837015 × 10 -19 kg which is \(\frac{1}{1836}\) times the mass of a proton (a positively charged constituent of an atom). Discovery of electrons: The discharge tube experiment played an important role in the discovery of electrons. While studying the properties of cathode rays (1897 A.D.), J.J. Thomson ( Nobel prize for Physics, 1906 ) found that the cathode rays are deflected in electric and magnetic fields which led scientists to believe that the cathode rays are made of tiny negatively charged particles. ( Note! In this chapter, we will learn how the electrons get affected by the electric and magnetic fields so you would know why scientists came in conclusion to identify the discovered particle as negatively...
