102.

The units for intrinsic strength of dielectric are

Answer» Dielectric strength is expressed in volts (or kV) per unit distance (cm or mm).
103.

An atom of a rare gas is placed is an electric field E. Then

Answer» For equilibrium nucleus is shifted in the direction of E by an amount which is proportional to E.
104.

In van der walls crystals, there exists a high degree of stability of the outer electron shell.

Answer» This is the reason for chemical inactivity in these crystals.
105.

In a coaxial cable, braided copper is used for

Answer» Braided material is used for shield.
106.

The hysteresis phenomenon in ferromagnetic materials exists at all temperatures.

Answer» Hysteresis phenomenon exists below ferromagnetic curie temperature.
107.

If the radius of electron cloud around the nucleus of a rare gas atom is R, the electronic polarizability of the atom is porportional to

Answer» Since (∈r - 1) = 4p NR3, electronic polarizability ∝ R3.
108.

By inserting a plate of dielectric between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor, the energy stored in the capacitor is increased five times. The dielectric constant of material is

Answer» Capacitance is directly proportional to dielectric constant.
109.

A parallel plate capacitor has its length, width and separation doubled. It fringing effects are neglected, to keep the capacitance same, the dielectric constant must be

Answer» . When dimensions are changed, A become four times and d becomes twice. Since ∈0 is constant, ∈r must be halved to keep C constant.
110.

In atomic physics, a state with = 0 is called state.

Answer» The state with l = 0 is called s state.
111.

If a sample of germanium and a sample of silicon have the same impurity density and are kept at room temperature

Answer» Resistivity of silicon is more than that of germanium.
112.

When an electric field E is applied to solid and liquid insulating materials, the internal field E acting at the location of atom is such that

Answer» The actual field seen by an atom is larger than applied field.
113.

type semiconductors

Answer» n type semiconductors are produced by adding pentavalent material like phosphorus to silicon.
114.

When two conductors carry currents in the same direction the force is repulsive.

Answer» The force is attractive.
