Option (B) is correct. Option (A), (B), (D) are the properties of vector product. Now we check the relation defined in option (C). Since the triple cross product is not associative in general so, the given relation is incorrect. This inequality can be explained by considering vector A = B and C ,perpendicular to A as shown in the figure. According to right hand rule we determine that ^B # C h points out of the page and so A # ^B # C h points down that has magnitude ABC . But in L.H.S. of the relation, since A = B So we have (A # B) = 0 and hence (A # B) # C = 0 Therefore Â # B h # C = 0 ! A # ^B # C h

So, we get the field components as E1t = 5ax - 2ay and E1n = 3az Now, From the boundary condition for electric field we have E1t = E2t e1 E1n = e2 E2n So, the field components in medium 2 are E2t = E1t = 5ax - 2ay E2n = e1 E1n = 6az e2 Therefore, the net electric field intensity in medium 2 is given as E2 = E2t + E2n = 5ax - 2ay + 6az So, the z -component of the field intensity in medium 2 is E2z = 6az

Option (A) is correct. Displacement current density is defined as E Jd = e2 2 t and the conduction current density is defined as Jc = sE for a dielectric e must be larger while conductivity must tend to zero. So, we get Jd >> Jc i.e. displacement current is much greater than conduction current.

Option (B) is correct. When the method of images is used for a system consisting of a point charge between two semi infinite conducting planes inclined at an angle f , the no. of images is given by N = c 360c - 1m f Here the angle between conducting planes is f = 90c. So, N =3 and since all the images lie an a circle so we have the image charges as shown in figure.

Option (B) is correct. When there is no charge in the interior of a conductor, the electric field intensity is zero according to Gausss law the total outward flux through a closed surface is equal to the charge enclosed. Now if any charge is introduced inside a closed conducting surface then an electric field will be setup and the field exerting a force on the charges and making them move to the conducting surface. So all the charges inside a conductor is distributed over its surface. Therefore the outward flux through any closed surface constructed inside the conductor must vanish. A is false but R is true.

If we desire to have an isolated magnetic dipole by dividing a magnetic bar successively into two, we end up with pieces each having north and south poles.

Option (A) is correct. For a moving charge Q in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields, the total force on the charge is given by F = Q 6E + (v # B)@ where E " electric field v " velocity of the charge B " magnetic flux density Since the electron beam follows its path without any deflection so the net force applied by the field will be zero

Option (B) is correct. Force applied on a moving charge in the presence of electric and magnetic field is defined as F = Fe + Fm = q (E + v # B) where Fe and Fm are the electric and magnetic forces applied on the charge so it is clear that the moving charge experiences both the electric and magnetic forces. The electric force is applied in a uniform direction (in direction of electric field) i.e. it is an accelerating force while, the magnetic force is applied in the normal direction of both the magnetic field and velocity of the charged particle i.e. it is a deflecting force. Therefore, both the options are correct but R is not the correct explanation of A.

Since for a moving charge Q in the presence of both electric and magnetic fields, the total force on the charge is given by F = Q 6E + (v # B)@ where E " electric field v " velocity of the charged particle B " magnetic flux density So initially the magnetic force on the particle will be zero as the particle is released at rest (v = 0 ). Therefore the electric field will accelerate the particle in y -direction and as it picks up speed (consider the velocity is v = kay , k is very small) a magnetic force develops which will be given by F = v#B since the magnetic field is in az direction while the beam has the velocity in ay direction so the magnetic force will be in ax (ay # az ) direction. Therefore the magnetic force will pull the charged particle around to the right and as the magnetic force will be always perpendicular to both the velocity of particle and electric field. So the particle will initially goes up in the y -direction and then following a curve path lowers down towards the x -axis.

Option (A) is correct. According to Lenzs law the induced current I in a loop flows such as to produce a magnetic field that opposes the change in B (t). Now the configuration shown in option (A) and (B) for increasing magnetic flux Bi , the change in flux is in same direction to Bi as well as the current I flowing in the loop produces magnetic field in the same direction so it does not follow the Lenzs law. For the configuration shown in option (D), as the flux Bd is decreasing with time so the change in flux is in opposite direction to Bd as well as the current I flowing in the loop produces the magnetic field in opposite direction so it also does not follow the Lenzs law. For the configuration shown in option (C), the flux density Bd is decreasing with time so the change in flux is in opposite direction to Bd but the current I flowing in the loop produces magnetic field in the same direction to Bd (opposite to the direction of change in flux density).

Option (B) is correct. From the integral form of Faradays law we have the relation between the electric field intensity and net magnetic flux through a closed loop as E : dl =- dF dt Since electric field intensity is zero ( E = 0 ) inside the conducting loop. So, the rate of change in net magnetic flux through the closed loop is dF = 0 dt i.e. F is constant and doesnt vary with time.

Vemf =- dF dt Since, the magnetic field is non-uniform so the change in flux will be caused by it and the induced emf due to it is called transformer emf. Again the field is in ay direction and the loop is rotating about z -axis so flux through the loop will also vary due to the motion of the loop. This causes the emf which is called motion emf. Thus, total induced voltage in the rotating loop is caused by the combination of both the transformer and motion emf.

Option (D) is correct. Consider a magnet bar being dropped inside a pipe as shown in figure. Suppose the current I in the magnet flows counter clockwise (viewed from above) as shown in figure. So near the ends of pipe, its field points upward. A ring of pipe below the magnet experiences an increasing upward flux as the magnet approaches and hence by Lenzs law a current will be induced in it such as to produce downward flux. Thus, Iind must flow clockwise which is opposite to the current in the magnet. Since opposite currents repel each other so, the force exerted on the magnet due to the induced current is directed upward. Meanwhile a ring above the magnet experiences a decreasing upward flux; so its induced current parallel to I and it attracts magnet upward. And flux through the rings next to the magnet bar is constant. So no current is induced in them.

Option (B) is correct. Poissions equation for an electric field is given as r d2 V =- v e where, V is the electric potential at the point and rv is the volume charge density in the region. So, for rv = 0 we get, d2 V = 0 Which is Laplacian equation.

Option (C) is correct. d2 A =- m0 J This is the wave equation for static electromagnetic field. i.e. It is not Maxwells equation.
Option (D) is correct. The direction of magnetic flux due to the current i in the conductor is determined by right hand rule. So, we get the flux through A is pointing into the paper while the flux through B is pointing out of the paper. According to Lenzs law the induced e.m.f. opposes the flux that causes it. So again by using right hand rule we get the direction of induced e.m.f. is anticlockwise in A and clockwise in B .

Option (C) is correct. Since, the flux linking through both the coil is varying with time so, emf are induced in both the coils. Since, the loop 2 is split so, no current flows in it and so joule heating does not occur in coil 2 while the joule heating occurs in closed loop 1 as current flows in it. Therefore, only statement 2 is correct. Option (A) is correct. The electric field intensity is where E 0 is independent of time E = E 0 e jwt So, from Maxwells equation we have E d # H = J + e2 2 t = sE + e ^ jwh E 0 e jwt = sE + jweE

Option (A) is correct. Since, the circular loop is rotating about the y -axis as a diameter and the flux lines is directed in ax direction. So, due to rotation magnetic flux changes and as the flux density is function of time so, the magnetic flux also varies w.r.t time and therefore the induced e.m.f. in the loop is due to a combination of transformer and motional e.m.f. both.
w. g
Option (D) is correct. For any loop to have an induced e.m.f., magnetic flux lines must link with the coil. Observing all the given figures we conclude that loop C1 and C2 carries the flux lines through it and so both the loop will have an induced e.m.f.
at e
Option (D) is correct. For a static field, Maxwells equation is defined as d#H = J and since divergence of the curl is zero i.e. d : ^d # H h = 0 d:J = 0 but in the time varying field, from continuity equation (conservation of charges) 2 r d : J =- v ! 0 t 2 So, an additional term is included in the Maxwells equation.

Option (A) is correct. A wave mode propagates in a waveguide only if its frequency is greater than cutoff frequency. If there is no any propagating mode inside the waveguide then energy in the propagating mode is zero. So, average power flow down the waveguide below cutoff frequency is zero. i.e. Both the statements are correct and R is correct explanation of A. Option (C) is correct. The intrinsic impedance of an airfilled waveguide for TM mode is defined as 2 f hTM = h0 1 - c cmn m f Since, the operating frequency is twice the cutoff frequency i.e. f = 2fc, mn So, we get the intrinsic wave impedance as 2 hTM = 377 1 - b 1 l = 32.6.49 W . 327 W 2

Since, the wave has its component of electric field in the direction of propagation so, the waveguide is operating in TM mn (Transverse magnetic) mode. Now for determining the value of m and n , we compare the phasor form of electric field to its general equation given as. npy -jbz (2) Ezs = Eo sin a mpx k sin a e a n k where a and b are the dimensions of waveguide and since, the waveguide has the dimension 10 # 4 cm so, we get a = 10 cm and b = 4 cm Now, comparing equation (1) and (2) we get mpx = 20px & m = 2 a n py = 25py & n = 1 b Thus, the mode of propagation of wave is TM 21 .

This is the reason for using an aperture antenna instead a linear antenna for extremely high frequency ranges. Option (B) is correct. Current distortion along a travelling wave antenna in general is defined as I ^z, t h = I 0 cos ^cot - bz h but when we eliminate t by taking its phasor form, the current can be written as I ^z h = I 0 e-jbz

Option (C) is correct. For a wave travelling from medium 1 to medium 2, the incidence angle qc of the wave for which it is totally reflected by medium 2 is given as (1) n1 sin qc = n2 sin 90c where n1 and n2 are the refractive index of medium 1 and medium 2 respectively. Since, refracting index of a medium having permittivity e and permeability m is defined as n = me So, putting it in equation (1), we get m0 e1 sin qc = m0 e2 sin qc = e2 = 1 2 e1 1 -1 qc = sin c = 45c 2m Option (C) is correct.

Option (C) is correct. The frequencies upto 1650 kHz is in the range of medium frequency. Vertical radiators ranging from l/6 to l/5 used for broadcasting the medium frequencies as the operating conditions and economic consideration. Option (B) is correct. The radiation field intensity of an antenna at a distance r is defined as jhI 0 bdl sin qe-jbr E qs = 4pr hI bdl sin q or \1 E qs = 0 r 4p r Option (A) is correct. The resultant field in a helical antenna is either circularly polarized or elliptically polarized depending on the pitch angle a . The radiated wave by a helical antenna is circularly polarized only when, a = tan-1 a c k 2l else it is elliptically polarized. In conclusion for a general term we can say the wave radiated by a helical antenna is elliptically polarized. Option (A) is correct. The unexcited patch is shown below

Option (B) is correct. D -layer is the lower most region of ionosphere which is present only during the day light hours and disappears at night because recombination rate is highest and also E -region is weekly lonised during night hour hence radiowave suffer negligible attenuation in night hour. This is the reason that the wave band which cant be heard during day time but may be heard during night time. Option (B) is correct. The atmosphere has varying density (refractive index) with the height from earth dm . Radius of curvature of the wave path is given as dh R =- dh dm Solving it, we get the effective earth radius (Radio horizon) = 4 actual earth radius (optical horizon) 3 Option (B) is correct. The radiation resistance of a dipole antenna is defined as 2 Rrad = 80p2 b dl l l Since, dl = l 20 l/20 2 So, Rrad = 80p2 c = 2W l m Option (B) is correct. Effective length of a half wave dipole antenna is cos a p cos q k 2 2 H le ^q h = > b sin q i.e. le is function of q . The maximum value of le is at q = p/2 . le a p k = 2 = l < l p 2 2 b i.e. maximum value of le is less than its actual value l . 2 The effective length is the same for the antenna in transmitting and receiving modes. So, statements, 1, 2 and 4 and correct while statement 3 is incorrect. ***********
