MCQ

A screen is placed a distance 40cm away from an illuminated object. A converging lens is placed between the source and the screen and it is attempted to form the image of the source on the screen. If no position could be found, the focal length of the lens:

  • A
    Must be less than 10cm.
  • B
    Must be greater than 20cm.
  • C
    Must not be greater than 20cm.
  • D
    Must not be less than 10cm.

Answer

  1. Must be greater than 20cm.

Explanation:

$\text{v}=(40-4)$

$\frac{1}{\text{f}}=\frac{1}{40-4}-\frac{1}{(-\text{u})}$

$\frac{\text{df}}{\text{du}}=0$ for f minimum.

$\frac{\text{df}}{\text{du}}=1-\frac{\text{u}}{20}=0$

$\text{u}=20$

$\text{f}_{\text{min}}=10\text{cm}$

A closed surface S is constructed around a conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch (figure). As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface S is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:
