Group of Q. Nos. 44 to 51 is based on the following paragraph.

Generally light emitted from a source contains several wavelengths. Similarly the electrical voltage at the
output of a sensor contains a mixture of dc and several ac components of different amplitudes and different
frequencies. Filter circuits are used to pass desired frequencies and / or to eliminate undesired frequencies.
The frequencies transmitted by the filter form the pass band while the frequencies eliminated by the filter
form the stop band or rejection band.
We can think of four basic types of electrical filters- a low pass filter where frequencies below a certain
cutoff frequency fc are passed. Similarly one can think of a high pass filter, band pass filter, band stop
(or band rejection) filter. The cutoff frequency fc is the frequency at which the output voltage falls to
1
2
times its maximum value.

An inductor and/or a capacitor an essential component of a filter. Generally a resistance is included in a filter
circuit to determine the time constant and hence the cutoff frequency.

(c) Half of the length of the resistance wire is wound clockwise and the remaining half anticlockwise just to
accommodate the whole length in small space
(d) Half of the length of the resistance wire is wound clockwise and the remaining half anticlockwise to
make the inductive effect zero
Ans.
[b,d]
Sol.
In resistance box resistance are made of alloy whose temperature coefficient are very loss. Such alloys are
constantan and manganin.
Coil of resistance box are wound in opposite direction to eliminate induction effect.

In a certain experiment density of the material of a small metallic cylindrical tube of a given mass is to be
determined. Its length is about 3 cm, outer diameter more than about 1 cm and wall thickness about 2 mm,
the flat base being a little thicker than 2 mm. Which of the following set/s of apparatus can be used to
determine the volume of the tube accurately ?
(a) Water and a measuring cylinder
(b) Water, a measuring cylinder and a micrometer screw gauge
(c) An overflow vessel, a measuring cylinder and water
(d) Only verniercallipers
Ans.
[b,c,d]
Sol.

Ans.(a)
A transistor (pnp or npn) can be used as (a) an amplifier

(b) an oscillator
(c) a switch
(d) a current source
[a,b,c,d]
A Transistor can be used as an amplifier, an oscillator, a switch and a current source.
When photons each with energy 4.25 eV strike the surface of a metal A, the photoelectrons given out have
maximum kinetic energy TA and the corresponding de-Brogle wave length is A. When another metal surface
B is irradiated with photons each with energy 4.70 eV, the corresponding maximum kinetic energy TB is
1.50 eV less than TA. If the de-Broglie wave length B of these photoelectrons is twice that of A, then (a) Work function of metal A is 2.25 eV
(b) Work function of metal A is 4.20 eV
(c) TA = 2.0 eV
(d) The radiation incident on metal A has a wavelength 292 nm.
