Q3.direction of magnetic force on a positive charge moving in a magnetic field is given by
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution: The force experienced by a charged particle in a magnetic field is given by F⃗ =q(v⃗ ×B⃗ ).The right hand rule for vector product can be used to determine the direction of ⃗ .
Q5.Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter, because
Answer : Option DExplaination / Solution:
Potentiometer measures the potential difference using null deflection method, where no current is drawn from the cell; whereas voltmeter needs a small current to show deflection. So, accurate measurement of p.d is done using a potentiometer.
Q7.Hole is a vacancy or lack of an electron and can travel through the semiconductor material. It can
Answer : Option CExplaination / Solution:
Holes and electrons are the two types of charge carriers responsible for current in semiconductor materials.
Holes in a metal or semiconductor crystal lattice can move through the lattice as electrons can, and act similarly to positively-charged particles. They play an important role in the operation of semiconductor devices such as transistors, diodes and integrated circuits. However they are not actually particles, but rather quasiparticles; they are different from the positron, which is the antiparticle of the electron.
