PHYSICS
PHE-07 : ELECTRIC AND MAGNETIC
PHENOMENA
Time : 2 hours Maximum Marks : 50
Note : All questions are compulsory. Marks allotted for each
question are indicated against it. Log tables or calculators
may be used. Symbols have their usual meaning. Values
of physical constants are given at the end.
1. Attempt any five parts : 5x3=15
(a) Two point charges of magnitude
2 x 10' C and 8 x 10-8 C are separated by
a distance of 10cm in vacuum. Calculate the
electric field at a point distant 4cm from the
first and 6cm from the second charge. What
is the direction of this electric field ?
(b) Four point charges qi = 2 x 10 C
q2 = 4 x 10 -8 C, q3 = 3 x10-8 C and
q4 = 4 x 10 -8 C are placed at the four
corners of a square of side lm. Calculate the
electric potential at the centre of the square.
(c) Starting with the expression for the phase
velocity of propagation of an
electromagnetic wave in a linear,
homogeneous medium derive the relation
between the refractive index and dielectric
constant of the medium.

(d) A metal ring placed on top of a vertical
solenoid jumps when current through the
solenoid is switched on. Explain why.
(e) Using Gauss' lawin electrostatics prove that
the charge resides only on the surface of a
conductor.
(f) Calculate the effective capacitance of three
capacitors (each of capacitance C) arranged
in such a way that two of them are in series
and the third is in parallel with this series
combination.
(g) Showthat the tangential component of D is
continuous across a dielectric boundary.
(h) Explain in brief the construction and
working of an electrolytic capacitor. What
are the important specifications for these
capacitors ?
2. Attempt any five parts :
(a) The potential difference across a metallic
5
wire of 10-4 cm2 cross-sectional area and
60 cm length, carrying a current of 0.2 A, is
3 V. Calculate the electric field in the wire,
the current density and the conductivity of
the wire.
(b) Two proton beams moving along the same
1+4
direction also constitute parallel currents.
Do you expect them to attract or repel each
other ? The axis of a circular coil of radius
6 cm having 20 turns and carrying a current
of 6 A makes an angle of 30 with a uniform
magnetic field of 0.01 T. Calculate the
torque on the coil.

(c) A plane electromagnetic sinusoidal wave is
travelling in the negative x-direction and its
frequency is 200 MHz. The electric field is
perpendicular to the positive z direction.
Write down the expressions for the E and
B fields that specify this wave, given
E0 = 100 Vm
(d) A cyclotron being used to accelerate protons
5
has Dees of 60 cm radius which are
connected to an alternating voltage source
of 12 MHz frequency. Calculate the
magnetic field and the speed and kinetic
energy acquired by the protons.
(e) What do you mean by self-inductance of a
coil ? Showthat the work done in
maintaining a current I through an inductor
1
of self-inductance L is
2
LI2. What happens
to this work ?

(f) The plates of a parallel plate capacitor have
5
an area of cross-section 100 cm2 and are 1.0
cm apart. A potential difference of 100 V is
applied when no dielectric is present. A
dielectric slab of relative permittivity 5 and
thickness 0.5 cm is introduced between the
plates. Calculate the capacitance of the
capacitor before and after the introduction
of the dielectric.
3. Attempt any one part :
(a) State Biot-Savart law. Using this lawobtain
an expression for the magnetic field at a
point lying on the axis of a circular coil of
radius 'a', carrying current i. Plot the
magnetic fields as a function of distance. 2+6+2

(b) State Gauss' lawin electrostatics. Using
Gauss' lawderive an expression for the
electric field due to a charged spherical shell
of radius R at the points (i) r>R, (ii) r = R
and (iii) r<R.
