A capacitor of 10 pF is connected to a voltage source of 100 V. If the distance between the capacitor plates is reduced to 50%, while it remains connected to the 100 V supply, the value of potential gradient in the second case will be

2. Bt is an identity matrix.

3. Bf has a rank of b – ( n – 1), where b is the number of branches and n is the number of nodes of the graph.

Which of the above statements are correct


11

Which of the following statements is/are correct?

1. Conductor contain a large number of electrons in the conduction band at room temperature. No energy gaps exist and the valence and conduction bands overlap.

2. A semiconductor is a material in which the energy gap is so large that practically no electron can be given enough energy to jump this gap.

3. An insulator is a solid with an energy gap small enough for electrons to cross rather easily from the valence band to the conduction band


12

Light is capable of transferring electrons to the free-state inside a material thus increasing the electrical conductivity of the material. When the energy imparted to the electrons is quite large, the latter may be emitted from the material into the surrounding medium. This phenomenon is known as

The inductance of an air-cored coil is proportional to

The paramagnetic susceptibility varies inversely with the absolute temperature for ordinary fields and temperatures. It is given by the relation χ =C TThe relation is known as


17

When ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic materials are magnetized, the direction of magnetization in any domain will be rotated from its preferential direction. This will show an anisotropic behaviour. On removal of the magnetizing force, the total magnetization will in general have a non-zero value. This behaviour is due to

A transformer core is wound with a coil carrying an alternating current at a frequency of 50 Hz. The hysteresis loop has an area of 60000 units when the axes are drawn in units of 10–4 Wb m–2 and 102 Am–1. If the magnetization is uniform throughout the core volume of 0.01 m3, the power loss due to hysteresis will be
