24. Answer (2)
25. Answer (1)
Work done by battery of lower emf is negative, as it is charged.
26. Answer (2)
If potential difference already across capacitor is more than emf of battery, it looses its extra charge. Heat is

42. Answer (4)
i = neAv. i = constant. As v increases, n decreases
43. Answer (3)
However the currents are arranged, force on any wire due to any other wire will be in the plane containing the
wires. Hence force due to any two wires on any of the wire will be in different planes and will not cancel.
44. Answer (4)
Adjacent coils in spring carry current in same direction and attract spring, therefore, tends to contract. Spring
may already be extended and its potential energy may thus be decreased.
45. Answer (1)
If magnetic fields are drawn in the region around a current carrying loop their density is greatest near the centre of the loop indicating maximum strength at the centre.
46. Answer (2)
A charged particle does not accelerate in a region with electric and magnetic field, if net force on it is zero,
not just the force due to magnetic field. Also, force due to magnetic field may or may not be zero depending
on the direction of motion of charge.
47. Answer (4)
Area of a given flexible loop depends on its shape and hence its magnetic moment depends on its shape.
48. Answer (4)
Restoring torque is proportional to sin (not ) and hence oscillatory motion of the loop will not be simple harmonic.

54. Answer (1)

A time varying magnetic field results in electric fields lines in form of closed loops, which can tangentially accelerate a particle.
55. Answer (4)
Direction of the currents are mutually opposite since in first case magnet and loop are coming closer and in
second case moving apart.

57. Answer (3)
In ballistic galvanometer, the coil is wound on a non-metallic frame, but the justification given is incorrect.
58. Answer (4)
Whatever may be the direction of current, field due to wire will be perpendicular to magnetic meridian and net
field in plane of oscillation of magnet will be same in magnitude.
59. Answer (1)
It is due to electromagnetic induction, current in the current does not want to instantaneously reduce to zero,
if the circuit is unplugged and hence a spark is seen. While plugging there is no initial current in the circuit,
rather the circuit opposes the initial direct increase in current due to electromagnetic induction.
