Question
CBSEENPH12039091

A point charge Q is placed at point O as shown in the figure. Is the potential difference VA VB positive, negative, or zero, if Q is (i) positive (ii) negative? 

WiredFaculty

Solution

With increase in distance, potential due to point charge decreases. So,

 i) VA - Vis positive when charge Q is positive.

ii) VA - VB is negative.

A plane electromagnetic wave travels in vacuum along z-direction. What can you say about the direction of electric and magnetic field vectors?

Solution

The direction of electric field vectors is along X-axis.

Magnetic field vector is along Y-axis.

The permeability of a magnetic material is 0.9983. Name the type of magnetic materials it represents.          

Solution

Here, permeability is less than 1 i.e., mu subscript r space less than space 1 .
So, magnetic material is diamagnetic.

Define the term 'wattless current'. 

Solution

Current flowing in an ac circuit without any net dissipation of power is called wattless current.
