    When the diode is forward biased, it is found that beyond forward voltage V = Vk, called knee voltage, the conductivity is very high. At this value of battery biasing for p-n junction,the potential barrier is overcome and the current increases rapidly with increase in forward voltage. When the diode is reverse biased, the reverse bias voltage produces a very small current about a few microamperes which almost remains constant with bias.

    From Bohr's atomic model, we know that the electrons have well defined energy levels in an isolated atom.

    In the year 1939, German scientist Otto Hahn and Strassmann discovered that when an uranium isotope was bombarded with a neutron, it breaks into two intermediate mass fragments. It was observed that, the sum of the masses of new fragments formed were less than the mass of the original nuclei. This difference in the mass appeared as the energy released in the process. Thus, the phenomenon of splitting of a heavy nucleus (usually A> 230) into two or more lighter nuclei by the bombardment of proton, neutron, a-particle, etc with liberation of energy is called nuclear fission.

    The density of nuclear matter is the ratio of the mass of a nucleus to its volume. As the volume of a nucleus is directly proportional to its mass number A, so the density of nuclear matter is independent of the size of the nucleus. Thus, the nuclear matter behaves like a liquid of constant density. Different nuclei are like drops of this liquid, of different sizes but of same density.
    Let A be the mass number and R be the radius of a nucleus. If m is the average mass of a nucleon, then
    Mass of nucleus = mA
    \(\text { Volume of nucleus }=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(R_{0} A^{1 / 3}\right)^{3}=\frac{4}{3} \pi R_{0}^{3} A\)
    \(\text { Nuclear density, } \rho_{\mathrm{nu}}=\frac{\text { Mass of nucleus }}{\text { Volume of nucleus }} \text { or } \rho_{\mathrm{nu}}=\frac{m A}{\frac{4}{3} \pi R_{0}^{3} A}=\frac{3 m}{4 \pi R_{0}^{3}}\)

    Clearly, nuclear density is independent of mass number A or the size of the nucleus. The nuclear mass density is of the order 1017 kg m-3. This density is very large as compared to the density of ordinary matter, say water, for which p = 1.0 x 103 kg m-3.

    (a) more for lighter elements and less for heavier elements.

    Niels Bohr introduced the atomic Hydrogen model in 1913. He described it as a positively charged nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. In the model, electrons orbit the nucleus in atomic shells. The atom is held together by electrostatic forces between the positive nucleus and negative surroundings.

    Bohr correctly proposed that the energy and radii of the orbits of electrons in atoms are quantized, with energy for transitions between orbits given by

    In 1911, Rutherford, along with his assistants, H. Geiger and E. Marsden, performed the alpha particle scattering experiment. H. Geiger and E. Marsden took radioactive source \(\left(\begin{array}{c} 214 \\ 83 \end{array} \mathrm{Bi}\right)\) for a-particles. A collimated beam of a-particles of energy 5.5 MeV was allowed to fall on 2.1 x 10-7 m thick gold foil. The a-particles were observed through a rotatable detector consisting of a Zinc sulphide screen and microscope. It was found that a-particles got scattered. These scattered a-particles produced scintillations on the zinc sulphide screen. Observations of this experiment are as follows.

    At room temperature, most of the H-atoms are in ground state. When an atom receives some energy (i.e., by electron collisions), the atom may acquire sufficient energy to raise electron to higher energy state. In this condition, the atom is said to be in excited state. From the excited state, the electron can fall back to a state of lower energy emitting a photon equal to the energy difference of the orbit.

    Bohr's model explains the spectral lines of hydrogen atomic emission spectrum. While the electron of the atom remains in the ground state, its energy is unchanged. When the atom absorbs one or more quanta of energy, the electrons moves from the ground state orbit to an excited state orbit that is further away.

    The spectral series of hydrogen atom were accounted for by Bohr using the relation \(\bar{v}=R\left(\frac{1}{n_{1}^{2}}-\frac{1}{n_{2}^{2}}\right)\)
    where R = Rydberg constant = 1.097 x 107 m.

Similarly, Balmer series is obtained when an electron jumps to 2nd orbit from any subsequent orbit, Paschen series is obtained when an electron jumps to 3rd orbit from any subsequent orbit.

    When a monochromatic radiations of suitable frequency obtained from source S, after being filtered by a filter attached on the window W, fall on the photosensitive place C, the photo electrons are emitted from C, which get accelerated towards the plate A if it is kept at positive potential. These electrons flow in the outer circuit resulting in photoelectric current. Due to it, the micro ammeter shows a deflection. The reading of micrommeter measures the photoelectric current.

    When light of sufficiently high frequency is incident on a metallic surface, electrons are emitted from the metallic surface. This phenomenon is called photoelectric emission. Kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectrons depends on the wavelength of incident light and is independent of the intensity of light. Number of emitted photoelectrons depends on intensity. (hv - \(\phi\) is the maximum kinetic energy of emitted photoelectrons (where \(\phi\) is the work function of metallic surface). Reverse effect of photo emission produces X-ray. X-ray is not deflected by electric and magnetic fields. Wavelength of a continuous X-ray depends on potential difference across the tube.

    Maxwell showed that the speed of an electromagnetic wave depends on the permeability and permittivity of the medium through which it travels. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in free space is given by \(c=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}} .\)The fact led Maxwell to predict that light is an electromagnetic wave. The emergence of the speed of light from purely electromagnetic considerations is the crowning achievement of Maxwell's electromagnetic theory. The speed of an electromagnetic wave in any medium of permeability \(\mu\) and permittivity \(\varepsilon\) will be \(\frac{c}{\sqrt{K \mu_{r}}}\) where K is the dielectric constant of the medium and \(\mu_r\) is the relative permeability.

    When a current I flows through a coil, flux linked with it is \(\phi=L I,\) where L is a constant known as self-inductance of the coil. Any change in current sets up an induced emf in the coil. Thus, self-inductance of a coil is the induced emf set up in it when the current passing through it changes at the unit rate. It is a measure of the opposition to the growth or the decay of current flowing through the coil.

    By analogy to Gauss's law of electrostatics, we can write Gauss's law of magnetism as \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{s}=\mu_{0} m_{\text {inside }}\) where \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{s}\) is the magnetic flux and \(m_{\text {inside }}\) is the net pole strength inside the closed surface.
    We do not have an isolated magnetic pole in nature. At least none has been found to exist till date. The smallest unit of the source of magnetic field is a magnetic dipole where the net magnetic pole is zero. Hence, the net magnetic pole enclosed by any closed surface is always zero. Correspondingly, the flux of the magnetic field through any closed surface is zero.

    \(\text { (a) } \mu_{0} m\) (b) zero \(\text { (c) } 2 \mu_{0} m\) \(\text { (d) } \frac{2 m}{\mu_{0}}\)

    (iv) Which of the following is not a consequence of Gauss's law?

    (a) The magnetic poles always exist as unlike pairs of equal strength.

    When the atomic dipoles are aligned partially or fully, there is a net magnetic moment in the direction of the field in any small volume of the material.

    (iii) nature of electrodes
    (iv) area of electrodes.

    For a freshly prepared cell, the value of internal resistance is generally low and goes on increasing as the cell is put to more and more use. The potential difference between the two electrodes of a cell in a closed circuit is called terminal potential difference and its value is always less than the emf of the cell in a closed circuit. It can be written as V = E - Jr.

On their way, they suffer frequent collisions with the ions/atoms of the conductor and lose their gained kinetic energy. After each collision, the free electrons are again accelerated due to electric field, towards the positive end of the conductor and lose their gained kinetic energy in the next collision with the ions/atoms of the conductor. The average speed of the free electrons with which they drift towards the positive end of the conductor under the effect of applied electric field is called drift speed of the electrons.

    (a) the electron drift speed is usually very large
    (b) the number density of free electrons is very high and this can compensate for the low values of the 6 electron drift speed and he very small magnitude of the electron charge
    (c) the number density of free electrons as well as the electron drift speeds are very large and these compensate for the very small magnitude of the electron charge
    (d) the very small magnitude of the electron charge has to be divided by the still smaller product of the number density and drift speed to get the electric current

    In 1909, Robert Millikan was the first to find the charge of an electron in his now-famous oil-drop experiment. In that experiment, tiny oil drops were sprayed into a uniform electric field between a horizontal pair of oppositely charged plates. The drops were observed with a magnifying eyepiece, and the electric field was adjusted so that the upward force on some negatively charged oil drops was just sufficient to balance the downward force of gravity. That is, when suspended, upward force qE just equaled Mg.

    By analogy to Gauss's law of electrostatics, we can write Gauss's law of magnetism as \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{s}=\mu_{0} m_{\text {inside }}\) where \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{s}\) is the magnetic flux and \(m_{\text {inside }}\) is the net pole strength inside the closed surface.
    We do not have an isolated magnetic pole in nature. At least none has been found to exist till date. The smallest unit of the source of magnetic field is a magnetic dipole where the net magnetic pole is zero. Hence, the net magnetic pole enclosed by any closed surface is always zero. Correspondingly, the flux of the magnetic field through any closed surface is zero.

    \(\text { (a) } \mu_{0} m\) (b) zero \(\text { (c) } 2 \mu_{0} m\) \(\text { (d) } \frac{2 m}{\mu_{0}}\)

    Ampere's law gives a method to calculate the magnetic field due to given current distribution. According to it, the circulation \(\oint \vec{B} \cdot d \vec{l}\) of the resultant magnetic field along a closed plane curve is equal to \(\mu_{0}\) times the total current crossing the area bounded by the closed curve provided the electric field inside the loop remains constant.

    (ii) The magnetic field at a distance r in the region r < R is

    \(\text { (a) } \frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 r}\) \(\text { (b) } \frac{\mu_{0} I r^{2}}{2 \pi R^{2}}\) \(\text { (c) } \frac{\mu_{0} I}{2 \pi r}\) \(\text { (d) } \frac{\mu_{0} I r}{2 \pi R^{2}}\)

    An electron with speed V<< c moves in a circle ofradius ro in a uniform magnetic field. This electron is able to traverse a circular path as magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity of the electron. A force acts on the particle perpendicular to both \(\vec{v}_{0}\) and \(\vec{B}\).

    A magnetic field can be produced by moving, charges or electric currents. The basic equation governing the magnetic field due to a current distribution is the Biot-Savart law.

    Moving coil galvanometer operates on Permanent Magnet Moving Coil (PMMC) mechanism and was designed by the scientist D'arsonval.
    Moving coil galvanometers are of two types
    (i) Suspended coil
    (ii) Pivoted coil type or tangent galvanometer.
    Its working is based on the fact that when a current carrying coil is placed in a magnetic field, it experiences a torque. This torque tends to rotate the coil about its axis of suspension in such a way that the magnetic flux passing through the coil is maximum.

    (i) A moving coil galvanometer is an instrument which

    (a) is used to measure emf
    (b) is used to measure potential difference
    (c) is used to measure resistance
    (d) is a deflection instrument which gives a deflection when a current flows through its coil

    (ii) To make the field radial in a moving coil galvanometer

    (a) number of turns of coil is kept small (b) magnet is taken in the form of horse-shoe
    (c) poles are of very strong magnets (d) poles are cylindrically cut

    (iii) The deflection in a moving coil galvanometer is

    (a) directly proportional to torsional constant of spring
    (b) directly proportional to the number of turns in the coil
    (c) inversely proportional to the area of the coil
    (d) inversely proportional to the current in the coil

    (iv) In a moving coil galvanometer, having a coil of N-turns of area A and carrying current I is placed in a radial field of strength B.
    The torque acting on the coil is

    \(\text { (a) } N A^{2} B^{2} I\) \(\text { (b) } N A B I^{2}\) \(\text { (c) } N^{2} A B I\) (d) NABI

    A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force that is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the component of the velocity that is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the charge of the particle.
    This force is given by \(\vec{F}=q(\vec{v} \times \vec{B})\) where q is the electric charge of the particle, v is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, and B is the magnetic field (in tesla).
    The direction of force is determined by the rules of cross product of two vectors
    Force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field. Its direction is same as \(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\) if q is positive and opposite of \(\vec{v} \times \vec{B}\) if q is negative
    The force is always perpendicular to both the velocity of the particle and the magnetic field that created it. Because the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the motion, the magnetic field can do no work on an isolated charge. It can only do work indirectly, via the electric field generated by a changing magnetic field.

    (I) When a magnetic field is applied on a stationary electron, it

    (a) remains stationary
    (b) spins about its own axis
    (c) moves in the direction of the field
    (d) moves perpendicular to the direction of the field.

    (a) the proton will be accelerated along the axis
    (b) the proton path will be circular about the axis
    (c) the proton moves along helical path
    (d) the proton will continue to move with velocity v along the axis.

    (iii) A charged particle experiences magnetic force in the presence of magnetic field. Which of the following statement is correct?

    (a) The particle is stationary and magnetic field is perpendicular.
    (b) The particle is moving and magnetic field is perpendicular to the velocity
    (c) The particle is stationary and magnetic field is parallel
    (d) The particle is moving and magnetic field is parallel to velocity

    (iv) A charge q moves with a velocity 2 ms-1 along x-axis in a uniform magnetic field \(\vec{B}=(\hat{i}+2 \hat{j}+3 \hat{k}) \mathrm{T}\) then charge will experience a force

    (a) in z-y plane (b) along -yaxis (c) along +z axis (d) along -z axis

    (v) Moving charge will produce

    (a) electric field only (b) magnetic field only
    (c) both electric and magnetic field (d) none ofthese.

    Mohan thought that there are materials which absorb photons of shorter wavelength and emit photons of longer wavelength. But, can there be stable substances which absorb photons of larger wavelength and emit light of shorter wavelength? He got confused and could not find its answer. Then he requested his friend Sohan. Sohan explained him that in the first case, energy given out is less than the energy supplied. But in the second case, the material has to supply the energy as the emitted photon has to supply the energy as the emitted photon has more energy, which cannot happen for stable substances.
    (a) What values do you notice in Sohan?

    Ram knows that red light has greater and so it is much bright, but in case of photoelectric emission it cannot produce the emission of electrons from a clean zinc surface, while even weak ultraviolet radiation can do so. He could not know specific cause of such thing. Then he went to his friend Shyam for its specific explanation. Shyam explained him that the photoemission of electron does not depend on the intensity while it depends on the frequency and thus on the energy of photon of incident light. The energy of photon of red light cannot emit photoelectrons. Similarly, the energy of photon of ultraviolet light is greater than the work function of zinc, so ultraviolet light can emit photoelectrons.

    Sanjay was preparing an electronic project for science exhibition. He required to light the LED using a 6 V supply. LEDs need only a very small current to make them light and they do not heat up in use. So he put a resistor in series to limit the current. Then there would be p.d. of 4 V across the resistor as there is always 2.0 V across the LED itself when it is conducting. The current should be 10 mA through both LED and the resistor. He could use the resistance by equation, R = V/I to calculate the value of R.
    \(R=\frac { V }{ I } =\frac { 4V }{ 10mA } =\frac { 4V }{ 0.01A } =400V\)
