An observer looks at a distant tree of height 10 m with a telescope of magnifying power of 20. To the observer the tree appears.:

A

20 times nearer

B

10 times taller.

C

10 times nearer.

D

20 times taller

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B
Telescope resolves and brings objects closer. Hence telescope with magnifying power of 20, the tree appears 20 times nearer.

Two concentric circular coils X and Y of radii 16 cm and 10 cm, respectively, lie in the same vertical plane containing the north to south direction. Coil X has 20 turns and carries a current of 16 A, coil Y has 25 turns and carries a current of 18 A. The sense of the current in X is anticlockwise, and clockwise in Y, for an observer looking at the coils facing west. Give the magnitude and direction of the net magnetic field due to the coils at their centre.
