Answer

Logic Gate : "A logic gate is defined as a digital circuit which follows some logical relationship between the input and output voltages."
The digital circuit of a gate either allows a signal to pass through it or stop it, so it is called a gate.
The logic gates are building blocks of digital electronics. They are used in digital electronics to change one voltage level i.e., input voltage into another level i.e., output voltage following some logical conditions relating them. Logic gates can be made by using simple switches, semiconductor diodes and transistors.
A logic gate may have one or more inputs but it has only one output. There are three basic logic gates as given below:
(i) OR gate, (ii) AND gate and (iii) NOT gate.
Each basic gate is represented by a symbol and its function is described by a Boolean expression or by a table known as truth table, which represents the relation between the possible values of input and output voltage in tabular form.

Difference between AND Gate and OR Gate

AND Gate	OR Gate
In this gate when both the inputs are 1 then output is also 'equal to 1'. Otherwise output is always zero.	In this gate when both the inputs are zero, then output is also zero otherwise output is always 1.

Ram is a student of class X in a village school. His uncle gifted him a bicycle with a dynamo fitted in it. He was very excited to get it. While cycling during night, he could light the bulb and see the objects on the road. He however, did not know this device works. He asked this question to his teacher. the teacher considered it an opportunity to explain the working to the whole class.

Photoelectric effect is the phenomenon of emission of electrons from a metal surface, when radiations of suitable frequency fall on them. The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons and the current so produced is called photoelectric current.

With the increase of intensity of incident radiations on photoelectrons emitted by a photo tube, the number of photoelectrons emitted per unit time is:

Increases.
Decreases.
Remains same.
None of these.

It is observed that photoelectron emission stops at a certain time t after the light source is switched on. The stopping potential $(V)$ can be represented as:

$2(KE_{\text{max}}/e)$
$(KE_{\text{max}}/e)$
$(KE_{\text{max}}/3e)$
$(KE_{\text{max}}/2e)$

A point source of light of power $3.2 \times 10^{-3} W$ emits monoenergetic photons of energy $5.0eV$ and work function $3.0eV$. The efficiency of photoelectron emission is $1$ for every $10^6$ ncident photons. Assume that photoelectrons are instantaneously swept away after emission. The maximum kinetic energy of photon is:

$4eV$
$5eV$
$2eV$
Zero

Which of the following device is the application of Photoelectric effect?

Light emitting diode.
Diode.
Photocell.
Transistor.

If the frequency of incident light falling on a photosensitive metal is doubled, the kinetic energy of the emitted photoelectron is:

Unchanged.

Doubled.
More than twice its initial value.

An electromagnetic wave transports linear momentum as it travels through space. If an electromagnetic wave transfers a total energy $U$ to a surface in time $t,$ then total linear momentum delivered to the surface is $\text{p}=\frac{\text{U}}{\text{c}}.$ When an electromagnetic wave falls on a surface, it exerts pressure on the surface. ln $1903,$ the American scientists Nichols and Hull succeeded in measuring radiation pressures of visible light where other had failed, by making a detailed empirical analysis of the ubiquitous gas heating and ballistic effects.

The pressure exerted by an electromagnetic wave of intensity $I (Wm^{-2})$ on a non$-$reflecting surface is $(c$ is the velocity of light$).$

$\text{Ic}$
$\text{Ic}^2$
$\frac{\text{I}}{\text{c}}$
$\frac{\text{I}}{\text{c}^2}$

Light with an energy flux of $18\frac{\text{W}}{\text{cm}^2}$ falls on a non$-$reflecting surface at normal incidence. The pressure exerted on the surface is:

$3\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}$
$2\times10^{-4}\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}$
$6\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}$
$6\times10^{-4}\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}$

Radiation of intensity $0.5Wm^{-2}$ are striking a metal plate. The pressure on the plate is:

$0.166 \times 10^{-8}Nm^{-2}$
$0.212 \times 10^{-8}Nm^{-2}$
$0.132 \times 10^{-8}Nm^{-2}$
$0.083 \times 10^{-8}Nm^{-2}$

A point source of electromagnetic radiation has an average power out$-$put of $1500W.$ The maximum value of electric field at a distance of 3m from this source $($in $Vm^{-1})$ is:

$500$
$100$
$\frac{500}{3}$
$\frac{250}{3}$

The radiation pressure of the visible light is of the order of,

$10^{-2}\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}$
$10^{-4}\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}}$
$10^{-6}\frac{\text{N}}{\text{m}^2}$

Mutual inductance is the phenomenon of inducing emfina coil, due to a change of current in the neighbouring coil. The amount of mutual inductance that links one coil to another depends very much on the relative positioning of the two coils, their geometry and relative separation between them. Mutual inductance between the two coils increases ft, times if the coils are wound over an iron core of relative permeability.

A short solenoid of radius a, number of turns per unit length $n_1,$ and length $L$ is kept coaxially inside a very long solenoid of radius $b,$ number of turns per unit length $n_2.$ What is the mutual inductance of the system?

$\ce{\mu_0\pi\text{b}^2\text{n}_1\text{n}_2\text{L}}$
$\ce{\mu_0\pi\text{a}^2\text{n}_1\text{n}_2\text{L}^2}$
$\ce{\mu_0\pi\text{a}^2\text{n}_1\text{n}_2\text{L}}$
$\ce{\mu_0\pi\text{b}^2\text{n}_1\text{n}_2\text{L}^2}$

If a change in current of $0.01A$ in one coil produces a change in magnetic flux of $2 \times 10^{-2}$ weber in another coil, then the mutual inductance between coils is:
