Part I: Objective Type Questions

1. The capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor increases when a dielectric is inserted between the plates.

2. Which one of the following is not ferromagnetic? - (d) Bismuth

3. The radiation used in medicine to destroy cancer cells is: - (d) Gamma rays

4. The optical density of turpentine is higher than that of water...... -  (a) 1

   • Explanation: When light moves from a rarer medium (Air) to a denser medium (Turpentine), it bends towards the normal. When it moves from a denser medium (Turpentine) to a relatively rarer medium (Water), it bends away from the normal. Ray 1 correctly depicts these two transitions.

5. The perpendicular distance of the initial velocity vector of an α-particle from the center of the nucleus is termed as the impact parameter.

6. The nucleus is approximately spherical in shape.......... - (a) A^2/3

7. A pure semiconductor when doped with a pentavalent impurity becomes a p-type semiconductor. False.

   • Correction: Doping with a pentavalent impurity creates an n-type semiconductor; a p-type is created using trivalent impurities.

Part II: Short Answer Questions (Any 5)

8. When a rectangular loop of area A carrying current I is placed in a uniform magnetic field B, it experiences a torque, τ:

   • where N is the number of turns and θ is the angle between the magnetic field and the normal to the loop.

9. Lenz's Law and Capacitor Polarity

   • (a) Lenz's Law: The direction of an induced current is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux that produced it.

   • (b) Capacitor Polarity: Based on the given figure, as the North pole of the magnet approaches the loop, an anticlockwise current is induced (viewed from the magnet side). This makes the upper plate (A) positive and the lower plate (B) negative.

10. Energy Losses in Transformers

    Any four losses include:

    • Copper loss: Heat produced in the windings due to resistance.

    • Iron loss (Eddy current loss): Energy dissipated as heat in the core.

    • Hysteresis loss: Energy lost during the repeated magnetization/demagnetization of the core.

    • Flux leakage: Not all magnetic flux from the primary reaches the secondary.

The Kerala Plus Two Physics Exam 2026 was moderate and fair, successfully testing core conceptual knowledge and application skills. Students are advised to utilize the soon-to-be-released answer key to accurately assess their performance and plan their future academic path.
