(27) Three point charges +q, −2q and +q are placed at point (x = 0, y = a, z = 0), (x = 0, y = 0, z = 0) and (x = a, y = 0, z = 0)

√
(D) 2qa along +x direction

12
 Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
The given charge assembly can be represented using the three co-ordinate axes x, y and z as shown in figure.
The charge −2q is placed at the origin O. One +q charge is place at (a, 0, 0) and the other +q charge is placed at (0, a, 0). Thus
the system has two dipoles along x−axis and y−axis respectively.
As the electric dipole moment is directed from the negative to the positive charge hence the resultant dipole moment will be
hong OA where co-ordinates of point A are (a, a, 0). The magnitude of each dipolemoment,
p = qa
So, the
pmagnitude p of resultant dipole moment is

(30) In the circuit shown the cells A and B have negligible resistance. For VA = 12 V, R1 = 500 Ω and R = 100 Ω the galvanometer
(G) shows no deflection. The value of VB is .... V

Solution:(Correct Answer:C)

13
 In the first loop which contains VA , the current is given by:
I = RV1 +R
A

12
I = 500+100
I = 0.02A
Since negative terminal of battery is considered at zero voltage. Now voltage at the intersection point between R and R1 is
given by:
V = IR
V = 0.02 × 100
V = 2V
So for battery VB of electric potential 2V there will be no current flowing through the galvanometer as voltage difference
between these points is zero.

(41) There exists a non-uniform electric field along x− axis as shown in the figure below. The field increases at a uniform rate along
+ve x− axis. A dipole is placed inside the field as shown. Which one of the following is correct for the dipole?

 (A) Dipole moves along positive x− axis and undergoes a clockwise rotation
(B) Dipole moves along negative x− axis and undergoes a clockwise rotation
(C) Dipole moves along positive x− axis and undergoes a anticlockwise rotation
(D) Dipole moves along negative x− axis and undergoes a anticlockwise rotation

Solution:(Correct Answer:D)
The dipole is placed in a non-uniform field, therefore a force as well as a couple acts on it. The force on the negative charge is
more (F ∝ E) and is directed along negative x− axis. Thus the dipole moves along negative x− axis and rotates in an
anticlockwise direction.

(43) A leaf which contains only green pigments, is illuminated by a laser light of wavelength 0.6328 µm. It wound appear to be
(A) brown (B) black (C) red (D) green

Solution:(Correct Answer:B)
A green leaf reflects green light and so it appears to be green. It absorbs other wavelengths of incident light. When incident light
has no wavelength corresponding to green, the leaf will reflect no colour and appear black. This happens when incident light is
laser light of wavelength 0.6328 µm. Wavelength of green colour is much less than 0.6328µm
The leaf absorbs the incident laser light, reflects no colour and appears black.
