NEET 2019 Odisha · PhysicsAC generatorPrevious Year Question

The variation of EMF with time for four types of generators are shown in the figures. Which amongst them can be called AC?

Answer: (B) , (b), (c) and (d). Answer: (b) Solution: An emf is "alternating" (AC) if it is periodic and reverses polarity (changes sign) over each cycle — its exact waveform shape (sinusoidal, triangular, sawtooth, square) does not matter.

  1. A.and (d)
  2. B., (b), (c) and (d)
  3. C.and (b)
  4. D.only (a)

Correct Answer

(B) , (b), (c) and (d)

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (b) Solution: An emf is "alternating" (AC) if it is periodic and reverses polarity (changes sign) over each cycle — its exact waveform shape (sinusoidal, triangular, sawtooth, square) does not matter. All four graphs (a)–(d) cross the time axis and reverse sign periodically, so all four represent AC. Hence (a), (b), (c) and (d) → answer B.

PhysAn emf is generated by an ac generator having 100 turn coil, of loop area 1 m². The coil rotates at a speed of one revolution per second and placed in a uniform magnetic field of 0.05 T perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the coil. The maximum value of emf is:PhysA big circular coil of 1000 turns and average radius 10 m is rotating about its horizontal diameter at 2 rad s⁻¹. If the vertical component of earth's magnetic field at that place is 2 × 10⁻⁵ T and electrical resistance of the coil is 12.56 Ω, then the maximum induced current in the coil will be:PhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:PhysA uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall, making 60° with the wall; its lower end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force exerted by the floor is: (g = 10 m/s²)
