A.

27km, 1218hr

B.

29km, 1315hr

C.

40km, 1418hr

D.

53km, 1436hr

in a light experiment with a convex lens a student plotted a graph as shown above of the reciprocal of object distance (1)/u against the reciprocal of image distance (1)/v . the focal length of the lens is given as

A.

slope of line PQ

B.

Reciprocal of either OP or OQ

C.

Length OP or OQ

D.

area under the graph E ratio OP/OQ

Correct answer is B

The intercept on either of the axes of the graph of 1u against 1v gives the value of 1f. Hence, the reciprocal of this intercecpt gives the value of the focal length.

A.

0.1Hz

B.

0.2Hz

C.

5Hz

D.

10Hz

E.

100Hz

The effect of closing the key K in the circuit shown above would be to

A.

increase the current by 0.6A

B.

reduce the current by 0.6A

C.

increase the current by 0.4A

D.

keep the current unchanged

Correct answer is C

When K is open, the total resistance

R = 8Ω + 2Ω = 10Ω

I = VR = 610

= 0.6A

When K is closed, we have

1R = 18 + 18

1R = 14

⇒ R = 4Ω

The total resistance R = 4Ω + 2Ω

= 6Ω

I = 66

= 1A

Hence, I = 1A - 0.6A = 0.4A increase
