Q1 FREE PREVIEW
PYQ
A current flows along the length of an infinitely long, straight, thin-walled pipe. Then
athe magnetic field at all points inside the pipe is the same, but not zero
bthe magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero
cthe magnetic field is zero only on the axis of the pipe
dthe magnetic field is different at different points inside the pipe
✓ Correct answer: b) the magnetic field at any point inside the pipe is zero
ExplanationUsing Ampere’s circuital law over a circular loop of any radius less than the radius of the pipe, we can see that net current inside the loop is zero.Hence, magnetic field at every point inside the loop will be zero.

PYQ
To convert a galvanometer into a voltmeter one should connect a:
ahigh resistance in series with galvanometer
blow resistance in series with galvanometer
chigh resistance in parallel with galvanometer
dlow resistance in parallel with galvanometer.
✓ Correct answer: a) high resistance in series with galvanometer
ExplanationA voltmeter is an instrument used to measure the electrical potential difference between two points in an electrical circuit.Analog voltmeters shift the pointer over a scale in relation to the voltage of the circuit.The fundamental theory of the voltmeter is that it must be wired parallel to the voltage that we want to calculate.The parallel connection is used as the voltmeter is built in such a way that it has a very high resistance value.In order to convert a galvanometer to a voltmeter, a high resistance is connected to it in series.Since voltmeter can measure the potential voltage more accurately only with the help of high resistance.
