Worked practice questions

In a capacitor circuit, when a dielectric is inserted while voltage is HELD CONSTANT by battery, the CHARGE on capacitor:

  1. Stays same
  2. Decreases
  3. Increases
  4. Becomes zero
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. Increases

With battery connected (V constant), inserting dielectric increases C, hence Q = CV increases (Q grows). Extra charge flows from battery to capacitor. If battery is disconnected first, C increases but Q stays same → V drops.

Magnetic field is measured in:

  1. newton
  2. coulomb
  3. tesla
  4. henry
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. tesla

SI unit of magnetic field B is tesla (T) = 1 N/(A m) = 1 kg/(A s²). **Old unit gauss:** 1 T = 10⁴ G. Earth's field is about 50 μT.

Biot Savart law gives magnetic field due to a current element. It states dB is proportional to:

  1. I dl × r / r³
  2. I × r
  3. dl / r²
  4. I × dl
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. I dl × r / r³

We have dB = (μ₀ / 4π) × (I dl × r̂ / r²). So dB = (μ₀ / 4π) × (I dl × r / r³). Direction by right-hand rule (cross product of dl and r).
