Physics - 12th Class Physics Chapter 1 Short Questions Preparation

Question # 1

What is capacitor?Define the capacitance.

Ans 1: Capacitor is a device used to store charge,
Capacitance is a measure of ability of capacitor to store charge.

Question # 2

How can you identify that when plate of capacitor is positively charged?

Ans 1: For the identification of positively charged plate of a capacitor golf leaf electroscope is used,For this purpose the plate of capacitor is brought near the positively charged disc of electroscope.If the divergence of the gold leaves increase then the capacitor will be positively charged and vice versa.

Question # 3

Distinguished between electric field and field intensity.

Ans 1: Electric Field: The space or region around the charge in which it exerts its electric force on other charges is called electric field.
Ans 2: Electric field intensity: At any point in electric field the force experienced by a point charge q is termed as electric or strength at that point.

Question # 4

Write down two difference between electric and gravitational force.

Ans 1: Differences:Electrical force is might be attractive as well as repulsive while the gravitational force is only attractive.Electrostatics force is medium dependent while the gravitational force is not.

Question # 5

Describe the force on positive charge when placed between parallel plates with opposite and equal charges.

Ans 1: When a positive point charge is placed between parallel plates with opposite but equal amount of charge ,then electric field intensity due to one plate is equal in magnitude but in same direction of the electric field intensity due to the other plate.So the value of resultant electric field intensity is non-zero.Hence the point charge will be accelerated towards negative plate.

Question # 6

Do electrons tend to go region of high potential or low potential?

Ans 1: Electrons tend to go to a region of high potential from low potential because electrons are negatively charged.

Question # 7

What is Potential Gradient?

Ans 1: The quantity gives the maximum value of rate of change of electric potential in magnitude and direction with respect to distance,It is known as potential gradient.

Question # 8

What is the effect of medium between the charges upon coulomb's force?

Ans 1: .If an insulating material i.e direction is places between the charges ,it will reduce the electrostatic force as compared to free space by factor called relative permittivity.

Question # 9

Center of planetary system is oppositely charged to the rest of planets.How orbits of planets would be modified?

Ans 1: It would add or subtract the gravitational force if the charge was ;large enough and the sun was charged.So the radius of the orbits would be changed

Question # 10

What depend on the slow or fast charging and discharging of a capacitor?

Ans 1: How fast or how slow the capacitor is charging or discharging depends upon the products of the resistance and the capacitance called time constant.Capacitor is charged or discharged rapidly when RC is small.

Question # 1

If a point charge q of mass is released in a non-uniform electric field with field lines pointing in the same directions,will it make rectilinear motion?

Ans 1: If a point charge q of mass m is placed at any point in the field ,it will follow straight or rectilinear path along the field line due to repulsive force.

Question # 2

What is capacitor?Define the capacitance.

Ans 1: Capacitor is a device used to store charge,
Capacitance is a measure of ability of capacitor to store charge.

Question # 3

Electric lines of force never cross why?

Ans 1: Electric lines of force never cross each other,This is because that electric field line has only one direction at any given point.If the lines cross ,electric field lines could have more than one direction which is not possible.

Question # 4

What is Potential Gradient?

Ans 1: The quantity gives the maximum value of rate of change of electric potential in magnitude and direction with respect to distance,It is known as potential gradient.

Ans 1: Electroencephalography: is usually applied over human brain to check its abnormal behaviour by the use of electrical energy.For this electrodes are connected to the selected portion of the head and the corresponding response is seen graphically through the screen of a recording device.
Ans 2: Electrocardiography: records the voltage between points on human skin generated by the electrical process in the heart,It is made in running position providing information about hearts performance under stress.

Question # 6
