Question
Which among the curves shown in figure cannot possibly represent electrostatic field lines?
✓

Answer

  1. Field lines are wrongly drawn because electric field lines must be normal to the surface of the conductor at each point.
  2. Field lines are wrongly drawn because field lines cannot start from a negative charge.
  3. Field lines are correctly drawn, because they are originating from a positive charge.
  4. Field lines are wrongly drawn as the field lines cannot intersect.
  5. Field lines are wrongly drawn because they cannot form closed loops.

Explain giving reasons for the following:
  1. Photoelectric current in a photocell increases with the increase in the intensity of the incident radiation.
  2. The stopping potential $(V_0)$ varies linearly with the frequency $(v)$ of the incident radiation for a given photosensitive surface with the slope remaining the same for different surfaces.
  3. Maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons is independent of the intensity of incident radiation.

The magnifying power of a converging lens used as a simple microscope is $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}\Big).$ A compound microscope is a combination of two such converging lenses. Why don't we have magnifying power $\Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big) \Big(1+\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}_\text{o}}\Big)?$ In other words, why can the objective not be treated as a simple microscope but the eyepiece can?
