SECTION “B” & “C (Subjective)


Times Allowed: 2:40 hours Max-Marks: 80

Section “B” Short Question Answer Max-Marks:50

INSTRUCTIONS:
 Attempt any 10 Questions from the following.
 All Questions carry equal marks.

1) Define specific resistance.

Specific Resistance:
A measure of the inherent ability of a material to resist the flow of current is called specific
resistance. It is the reciprocal of electrical conductivity, and depending on its resistivity. The lower
the specific resistance, the better conductor a material is.
Formula: Its formula is:
Where,
= resistivity in ohm-meters
R= resistance in ohms
A= cross-sectional area of the material in square meters
L = length in meters

2) State Lenz’s Law.

Lenz’s Law:
It states that:
“There is an induced current in a closed conducting loop if and only if the magnetic flux through the
loop is changing. The direction of the induced current is such that the induced magnetic field always
opposes the change in the flux.”

Mathematically:

Lenz's law is shown with the negative sign in Faraday's law of induction, which indicates that the
induced EMF and the change in magnetic flux have opposite signs.

3) Define the law of Electrostatics.

Laws Of Electrostatics: There are two laws of electrostatics:

3|Page
LCB SOLVED PAPER ANILA SAGHIR

First law: Like charges of electricity repel each other, whereas unlike charges attract each other.

2nd Law: According to this law, the force exerted between two point charges

o Is directly proportional to the product of their strengths.


o Is inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. and
o Is inversely proportional to the absolute permittivity of the surrounding medium.

Mathematically:

This is known as Coulomb's Law.

4) Describe trouble in capacitors.

Troubles In Capacitors:

The capacitor troubles are difficult to find since they may appear intermittently or only under
operating voltages. There are many common problems with capacitors which are usually observed as:

o Capacitor can become open or short-circuited. In either case, the capacitor is useless because
it cannot store charge.
o A leaky capacitor is equivalent to a partial short circuit where the dielectric gradually loses its
resistance. This type of capacitor may damage the circuit.
o A good capacitor has very high resistance of the order of mega-ohms so if the resistance of
capacitor decreases from that, it will start to create problems.

5) Define resonance.

Resonance:

Resonance is the tendency of a system to oscillate with greater amplitude at some frequencies than at
others. Frequencies at which the response amplitude is a relative maximum are known as the system's
resonant frequencies, or resonance frequencies. Resonance occurs when a system is able to store and
easily transfer energy between two or more different storage modes (such as kinetic energy and
potential energy in the case of a pendulum).

6) Define frequency and period.

Frequency: No of cycles per unit time is called frequency.


Formula:

4|Page
LCB SOLVED PAPER ANILA SAGHIR

Unit: The unit of frequency is Hz.

Time Period: The period, usually denoted by T, is the length of time taken by one cycle.

Formula:
Unit: The unit of time period is seconds (sec).

7) Describe Energy Levels.

Energy Levels:
A quantum mechanical system or particle that is bound, that is confined spatially can only
take on certain discrete values of energy. This contrasts with classical particles, which can
have any energy. These discrete values are called energy levels. The term is commonly used
for the energy levels of electrons in atoms or molecules, which are bound by the electric field
of the nucleus.

8) State Ohm’s Law.

Ohm’s Law:

It states that:
“The electric current passing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential
difference across it, provided that the temperature remains constant. The constant of
proportionality is the resistance of the conductor”.
Mathematically:

Where,

V= potential difference across the conductor


I= electric current passing through a conductor
R= resistance of the conductor

9) A 220v rms value, 60Hz AC source is connected across a 40KΩ resistance. How much
current is flowing through the resistance? Find relative phase angle between voltage and
current also.
Numerical:

Data:

F=60 Hz

Solution:

10) Define valence electron.

Valence Electron:

An electron of an atom, located in the outermost shell (valence shell) of the atom that can be
transferred to or shared with another atom is called valence electron. A valence electron is most likely
to be involved in a chemical reaction. They are typically the electrons with the highest value of the
principle quantum number, n.

11) Explain The Working Principle Of Transformer.

Working Principle Of Transformer:

A transformer is a static electrical device that transfers energy by inductive coupling between its winding
circuits. A varying current in the primary winding creates a varying magnetic flux in the transformer's
core and thus a varying magnetic flux through the secondary winding. This varying magnetic flux induces
a varying electromotive force (emf) or voltage in the secondary winding.

12) State Faraday’s Law.

Faraday's Law's Of Electromagnetic Induction

In 1831, Micheal Faraday formulated two laws on the bases of experiments. These laws are called
Faraday's laws of electromagnetic induction.

First Law:

It state that:

“Whenever a conductor are placed in a varying magnetic field EMF are induced which is called
induced EMF, if the conductor circuit are closed current are also induced which is called induced
current”.

Second Law:

It states that:

“The induced EMF is equal to the rate of change of flux linkages (flux linkages is the product of
turns, of the coil and the flux associated with it)”.

Mathematically: Generally Faraday's laws is written as:

Where negative sign represents the direction of the induced current in the conductor will be such that
the magnetic field produced by it will oppose it.

13) Define Depletion Region.

Depletion Region:

Depletion region refers to an insulating region found in a semiconductor device where there is neither
an excess of electrons nor of holes. This is usually at the juncture of P-type and N-type materials and
is formed from a conducting region.

Section “C” Descriptive Question Answer Max-Marks:30

1) (a) Define capacitor and explain how energy is stored in capacitor.

Capacitor:

A capacitor is a passive two-terminal electrical component used to store energy in an electric field.
The forms of practical capacitors vary widely, but all contain at least two electrical conductors
separated by a dielectric (insulator).

Energy Storage In Capacitor:

In capacitor some outside agency is pulling the negatively charged electrons from the positively
charged plate of the capacitor and sending them to the negative plate of it. This small amount of work
is done by battery. So, this energy is stored inside the capacitor in the form of electrostatic energy.
Then this energy is stored as chemical energy in the capacitor.

Mathematically:

In this case the electric potential of conductor is given by:

So the work done to charge the condenser up to a little amount is given by:

Total work done can be found by applying the integration on the above expression.

∫ ∫

∫ ∫

Total energy packed up inside the conductor:

Substitute the value of Q as CV

LCB SOLVED PAPER ANILA SAGHIR

Now put CV=Q.

The stored energy is given by:

Energy will be in joules when the other quantities such as q, V and C will be in Coulomb, volt and
farad respectively.

(b) Explain energy levels with reference to conductors, insulators and semi conductors.

Energy Levels:

If we consider a single atom, there are according to the Bohr model of atoms sharply distinct energy
levels, which may be occupied by electrons. If there are multiple atoms side by side they are
interdependent, the discrete energy levels are fanned out.

The Energy Bands:

In a substance multiple energy levels combine to form electronic band structure, which is an energy
schema to describe the conductivity of conductors, insulators, and semiconductors. The schema
consists of two energy bands (valence and conduction band) and the band gap. The valence electrons
which serve as charge carriers are located in the valence band, in the ground state the conduction
band is occupied with no electrons. Between the two energy bands there is the band gap; its width
affects the conductivity of materials.

Energy levels of atoms which are in interdependency with other atoms

The Band Model Of Conductors:

In conductors, the valence band is either not fully occupied with electrons, or the filled valence band
overlaps with the empty conduction band. The electrons can therefore move inside the partially filled
valence band or inside the two overlapping bands. In conductors there is no band gap between the
valence band and conduction band.

The Band Model Of Insulators:

In insulators the valence band is fully occupied with electrons due to the covalent bonds. The
electrons cannot move because they're "locked up" between the atoms. In insulators there is a wide
band gap exists.

The Band Model Of Semiconductors:

Even in semiconductors, there is a band gap, but compared to insulators it is so small that even at
room temperature electrons from the valence band can be lifted into the conduction band. The
electrons can move freely and act as charge carriers.

3) Enlist the types of resistor.

Types of Resistors:

Resistors are the most fundamental and commonly used of all the electronic components. There are
many different types of resistors available to the electronics constructors which are as follow:

 Carbon Composition Resistor:

Made of carbon dust or graphite paste, low wattage values

 Film or CERMET Resistor:

Made from conductive metal oxide paste, very low wattage values

 Wire-wound Resistor:

Metallic bodies for heat sink mounting, very high wattage ratings

 Semiconductor Resistor:

High frequency/precision surface mount thin film technology

(b) Describe the law of resistance.

Laws of Resistance

The resistance of a material depends upon the fallowing four factors, which are called laws of
resistance.

1st law of resistance

The resistance of conductor is directly proportional to the length of the conductor. Greater is the
length of conductor greater will be the resistance, similarly smaller is the length, and smaller will be
the resistance of the conductor.

2nd law of resistance

The resistance of the conductor is inversely proportional to the cross sectional area of the conductor.
Greater is the cross sectional area smaller will be the resistance and when smaller is cross sectional
area greater will be the resistance

3rd law of resistance

The resistance of the conductor depends upon the nature of the conductor. Two wire having the same
gauges, but different material will have different resistance.

4th law of resistance

The resistance of the conductor depends upon the temperature of its environment. Resistance of
metallic conductor increases with increase in temperature of the conductor.

Mathematically:

11 | P a g e
LCB SOLVED PAPER ANILA SAGHIR

Taking in to consideration 1st three laws and neglecting 4th law for movement, we have

R∝L (eq. 1)

R∝ (eq. 2)

From equation 1 and 2 we get

R∝

R=

Where called rho .it is a constant and is known as resistivity or specific resistance of a material.

(4) (a) Explain magnetic field around current carrying conductor.

Magnetic Field Around Current Carrying Conductor :

A current carrying conductor, such as a metal wire, will produce a magnetic field around it because
of the motion of charge within the wire itself. This motion produces or sets up a magnetic field
around the wire in the form of concentric circles. The direction of such a magnetic field can be
determined by using the "right hand grip rule" (see figure at right). The strength of the magnetic field
decreases with distance from the wire. (For an infinite length wire the strength decreases inversely
proportional to the distance.)

(b)Explain the construction of a carbon resistor.

Carbon Composition Resistor:

These types of resistor very commonly used low cost resistor.

Construction Of A Carbon Resistor:

The construction of carbon composition resistor is very simple. It is also commonly referred as
carbon resistor. It mainly made of carbon clay composition covered with a plastic case. The leads of
the resistor are made of tinned copper. These carbon resistors are providing with different colored
band on their cylindrical body. These color bands are code for the resistance values of carbon

composition resistor along with their tolerance range. There are mainly four color bands provided on
the body resistors and each color indicates unique digit. Such as

Black ⇒ 0,
Brown ⇒ 1,
Red ⇒ 2,
Orange ⇒ 3,
Yellow ⇒ 4,
Green ⇒ 5,
Blue ⇒ 6,
Violet ⇒ 7
Gray ⇒ 8,
White ⇒ 9

The first and second color bands indicate a two digits number. The 3rd color band indicates the
power of ten as multiplier. The fourth band indicates the tolerance.
