Current Electricity & Electric Circuits
Solution
The blade of a hoe feel colder to touch in the morning than the wooden handle because the
A
handle is a better conductor of heat than blade
B
handle contains stored energy in form of heat
C
blade is a better conductor of heat than the handle
D
blade is placed at a lower temperature than the heat
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The metal blade transfers heat away from your skin more effectively than the wooden handle. When you touch the blade, it rapidly absorbs heat from your hand, causing it to feel colder. In contrast, the wooden handle, which is a less effective conductor of heat, doesn't draw heat away as quickly, making it feel warmer in comparison.

Solution
A glass plate 0.9cm thick has a refractive index of 1.50. How long does it take for a pulse of light to pass through the plate?
[c = 3.0 x 10\(^8\) ms-1]
A
4.5 x 10-11s
B
4.5 x 10-10s
C
4 .5 x 10-12 s
D
3.0 x 10-10s
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
N = 1.5 = \(\frac{(speed of light in glass)}{\text{speed of light in air}}\)
\(\frac{1.5}{1}\) = \(\frac{(3.0 \times 10^8)}{\text{V}}\)
V = \(\frac{(3.0 \times 10^8)}{1.5}\)
V = 2.0 x 10\(^8\) ms\(^{-1}\)
But x = Vt
t = \(\frac{\text{x}}{\text{Vt}}\)
t = (x)/v = \( \frac{9 x 10^{-3}}{2.0 x 10^8}\)
∴ Time = 4.5 x 10\(^{-11}\)S

Electrostatics & Capacitors
Solution
A charge 50 µc has electric field strength of 360 NC-1 at a certain point. The electric field strength due to another charge 120 µc kept at the same distance apart and in the same medium is?
A
864 NC-1
B
150 NC-1
C
144 NC-1
D
18 NC-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
In general, electric field strength E = \(\frac{(F)}{q}\)
E = \(\frac{q}{4\pi\varepsilon_0d^2}\)
⇒ 360 = \(\frac{9\times10^9\times50\times10^-6}{d^2}\)
solving, we have \(d^2\) = 1250
putting \(d^2\) = 1250 into the second equation,
E = \(\frac{9\times10^9\times120\times10^-6}{1250}\)
we have E = \(864NC^-1\)

E = HF = (hc)/\lambda
E\lambda = hc
∴ X = hc ==6.63 x 10\(^{-34}\) x 10\(^8\)

Silicon doped with aluminum and germanium doped with arsenic become?
A
p- and n- types respectively
B
n- en p- type respectively
C
p- type semiconductor
D
n- type semiconductors
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Aluminum has three valence electrons, while silicon has four. When aluminum is added to silicon, it creates "holes" (positive charge carriers) because there is one less electron to form a bond. These holes can move and carry charge, making the material p-type.
Charge Carriers: Majority carriers in p-type semiconductors are holes. While, Arsenic (or other elements When doped into germanium (which has four valence electrons), the extra electron becomes free to move, which increases the number of negative charge carriers (electrons) in the material. This results in an n-type semiconductor.
Charge Carriers: Majority carriers in n-type semiconductors are electrons
