Question
When a compass needle be placed at magnetic north pole, how would it behave? If a dip needle be placed at the place, how would it behave?
✓
Answer
Compass needle stays in horizontal north-south direction. At poles horizontal component H = 0; therefore there will be no effect of earth’s field on magnetic north pole and it can stay in any direction; on the other hand a dip needle points along the resultant magnetic field and at poles the resultant field is vertical; hence the needle becomes vertical.

Write the truth table for circuit given in Fig. 14.47 below consisting of NOR gates and identify the logic operation (OR, AND, NOT) which this circuit is performing.
(Hint: A = 0, B = 1 then A and B inputs of second NOR gate will be 0 and hence Y=1. Similarly work out the values of Y for other combinations of A and B. Compare with the truth table of OR, AND, NOT gates and find the correct one.)

A symmetric biconvex lens of radius of curvature R and made of glass of refractive index 1·5, is placed on a layer of liquid placed on top of a plane mirror as shown in the figure. An optical needle with its tip on the principal axis of the lens is moved along the axis until its real, inverted image coincides with the needle itself. The distance of the needle from the lens is measured to be x. On removing the liquid layer and repeating the experiment, the distance is found to be y. Obtain the expression for the refractive index of the liquid in terms of x and y.
