SECTION-B
2. What do you understand by time dilation? On the basis of Lorentz transformation discuss
the variation of time with velocity according to special theory of relativity. Explain why a
moving clock appears to run slow.
3. Derive the formula for relativistic variation of mass with velocity.
4. Write Maxwell's equations of E.M. theory and hence derive the general wave equation for
electric vector and magnetic vector for E.M. waves in a medium with finite permeability
and permittivity but no conductivity.
5. Using Biot and Savart's law find the magnetic field at a point on the axis of a circular coil
carrying a steady current. Will this field be uniform?
6. Explain the phenomena of Hall effect. How does the Hall effect decide that current in a
metallic conductor is due to negatively charged particles? Derive the value of Hall voltage
and Hall coefficient.
7. What is a solenoid? Derive an expression for the coefficient of self inductance of a long
uniformly wound solenoid.
