Use Biot-Savart law to derive the expression for the magnetic field on the axis of a current carrying circular loop of radius R.

Draw the magnetic field lines due to a circular wire carrying current I.

The Biot-Savart law represents the magnetic field at the center of the circular loop due to the small element “dl” as



Where,


μ is the permeability of air,


r is the position vector.


The direction of dB is the direction of the vector dl × r


I is the current in the wire.


We suppose a circular loop of radius “R” with the center “P”. The current flowing in it is taken as “I”. We suppose the circular loop to be made of small elements having “dl” length.



Here,


|r| = (x2 + R2 )1/2


Since, r is the position vector from the center “P”,


Radius of the loop = R = r



The angle between dl and R is 90° .


Therefore,



⇒


⇒ B = ∫dB =


Also, ∫dl = 2πR i.e. the perimeter of the circular coil.



And If the coil is made up of n circular turns we get,



Magnetic field lines due to a circular wire carrying current I can be given as

For a CE-transistor amplifier, the audio signal voltage across the collector resistance of 2 k is 2 V. Suppose the current amplification factor of the transistor is 100, find the input signal voltage and base current, if the base resistance is 1 k.

Define the term wave front. State Huygens’s principle.

Consider a plane wave front incident on a thin convex lens. Draw a proper diagram to show how the incident wave front traverses through the lens and after refraction focuses on the focal point of the lens, giving the shape of the emergent wave front.

Explain the following, giving reasons:


(i) When monochromatic light is incident on a surface separating two media, the reflected and refracted light both have the same frequency as the incident frequency.


(ii) When light travels from a rarer to a denser medium, the speed decreases. Does this decrease in speed imply a reduction in the energy carried by the wave?


(iii) In the wave picture of light, intensity of light is determined by the square of the amplitude of the wave. What determines the intensity in the photon picture of light?

Ram is a student of class X in a village school. His uncle gifted him a bicycle with a dynamo fitted in it. He was very excited to get it. While cycling during night, he could light the bulb and see the objects on the road. He, however, did not know how this device works. He asked this question to his teacher. The teacher considered it an opportunity to explain the working to the whole class. Answer the following questions:

(a) State the principle and working of a dynamo.


(b) Write two values each displayed by Ram and his school teacher.

(i) Draw a labelled diagram of a step-down transformer. State the principle of its working. (ii) Express the turn ratio in terms of voltages. (iii) Find the ratio of primary and secondary currents in terms of turn ratio in an ideal transformer.

(iv) How much current is drawn by the primary of a transformer connected to 220 V supply when it delivers power to a 110 V— 550 W refrigerator?

(a) Explain the meaning of the term mutual inductance. Consider two concentric circular coils, one of radius r1 and the other of radius r2 (r1 < r2) placed coaxially with centres coinciding with each other. Obtain the expression for the mutual inductance of the arrangement.
