ISC Class 12 Physics Important Questions

Class 12 physics is one such subject that requires a lot of practice and dedication to get through. With a lot of numerical included, the subject needs a great amount of problem-solving and analytical skills. The ISC Class 12 physics syllabus is very vast, and hence memorising each of them is often very difficult. To ease the effort of students preparing for the exams, the specialists at BYJU’S have come up with the ISC Class 12 important questions. The list of questions provided in it covers almost all the important topics and concepts that are most likely to appear for the ISC class 12 exam.

The Important Questions of ISC Class 12 Physics are given below:

1. Show how you will obtain an AND gate using only NOR gates. Draw the truth table for this arrangement of gates.
2. For a common emitter transistor amplifier, the audio signal voltage across the collector resistance (rc ) of 2 kΩ is 2 V. If the current amplification factor (β) of the transistor is 100, calculate the input signal voltage (VBE) and base current (IB) for base resistance of 1 kΩ.
3. For a transistor in a common emitter mode, draw a labelled graph to show:
   1. Input characteristic curve.
   2. Output characteristic curve.
   3. Transfer characteristic curve.
4. Draw a neat and labelled diagram of an experimental setup of Young’s double slit experiment to study the interference of light and show that:β=λD/d Where the terms have their usual meaning. Show intensity variation in the interference.
5. Draw a labelled ray diagram of an image formed by a compound microscope with a final image formed at the least distance of distinct vision (D). Derive an expression for its magnifying power (in terms of Vo, Uo, fe and D).
