Question diagram
A
$-\frac{1}{5} \hat{i} - \frac{1}{5} \hat{j}$
B
$\frac{1}{5} \hat{i} + \hat{j}$
C
$\hat{i} - \frac{1}{5} \hat{j}$
D
$\frac{1}{5} \hat{i} + \frac{1}{5} \hat{j}$

Solution

(A) The coordinates of the masses arranged on the circle of radius $R = 1 \ m$ are:
$M$ at $(1, 0)$
$2M$ at $(0, 1)$
$3M$ at $(-1, 0)$
$4M$ at $(0, -1)$
The $x$-coordinate of the center of mass $(X_{cm})$ is given by:
$X_{cm} = \frac{M(1) + 2M(0) + 3M(-1) + 4M(0)}{M + 2M + 3M + 4M} = \frac{M - 3M}{10M} = \frac{-2M}{10M} = -\frac{1}{5} \ m$
The $y$-coordinate of the center of mass $(Y_{cm})$ is given by:
$Y_{cm} = \frac{M(0) + 2M(1) + 3M(0) + 4M(-1)}{M + 2M + 3M + 4M} = \frac{2M - 4M}{10M} = \frac{-2M}{10M} = -\frac{1}{5} \ m$
Thus,the position vector of the center of mass is $-\frac{1}{5} \hat{i} - \frac{1}{5} \hat{j}$.

$A$ moving particle collides with a stationary particle of mass $\frac{1}{n}$ times the mass of the moving particle. The fraction of its kinetic energy transferred to the stationary particle is:
A
$\frac{4 n^2}{(1+n)^2}$
B
$\frac{4 n}{(1+n)^2}$
C
$\frac{4 n}{1+n^2}$
D
$4 n^2$

Solution

(B) Let the mass of the moving particle be $m$ and its initial velocity be $u$. The mass of the stationary particle is $m' = \frac{m}{n}$.
Assuming a perfectly elastic head-on collision,we apply the conservation of linear momentum:
$mu = mv_1 + \frac{m}{n}v_2 \Rightarrow u = v_1 + \frac{v_2}{n}$ (Equation $1$)
Using the coefficient of restitution $e=1$ for an elastic collision:
$v_2 - v_1 = u \Rightarrow v_1 = v_2 - u$ (Equation $2$)
Substituting Equation $2$ into Equation $1$:
$u = (v_2 - u) + \frac{v_2}{n} \Rightarrow 2u = v_2(1 + \frac{1}{n}) = v_2(\frac{n+1}{n})$
$v_2 = \frac{2nu}{n+1}$
The kinetic energy transferred to the stationary particle is $K' = \frac{1}{2} m' v_2^2 = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{m}{n}) (\frac{2nu}{n+1})^2 = \frac{1}{2} \frac{m}{n} \frac{4n^2 u^2}{(n+1)^2} = \frac{2mnu^2}{(n+1)^2}$.
The initial kinetic energy is $K = \frac{1}{2} mu^2$.
The fraction of kinetic energy transferred is $\frac{K'}{K} = \frac{\frac{2mnu^2}{(n+1)^2}}{\frac{1}{2} mu^2} = \frac{4n}{(n+1)^2}$.

Particle $A$ moving with a velocity $v = 10 \ m/s$ experiences a head-on collision with a stationary particle $B$ of the same mass. As a result of the collision,the kinetic energy of the system decreases by $1 \%$. The speed of particle $A$ after the collision is: (in $m/s$)
A
$9.95$
B
$7.07$
C
$5$
D
$0.707$

Solution

(A) Let the mass of both particles be $m$. Let $V_1$ and $V_2$ be the velocities of particles $A$ and $B$ after the collision,respectively.
By the law of conservation of momentum:
$m \times 10 + 0 = m V_1 + m V_2 \Rightarrow V_1 + V_2 = 10$ ... $(i)$
Given that the kinetic energy of the system decreases by $1 \%$,the final kinetic energy $K_f = 0.99 K_i$.
$\frac{1}{2} m V_1^2 + \frac{1}{2} m V_2^2 = 0.99 \times (\frac{1}{2} m \times 10^2)$
$V_1^2 + V_2^2 = 0.99 \times 100 = 99$ ... (ii)
We know that $(V_1 + V_2)^2 = V_1^2 + V_2^2 + 2 V_1 V_2$.
Substituting the values: $10^2 = 99 + 2 V_1 V_2 \Rightarrow 100 = 99 + 2 V_1 V_2 \Rightarrow 2 V_1 V_2 = 1 \Rightarrow V_1 V_2 = 0.5$.
Now,$(V_1 - V_2)^2 = (V_1 + V_2)^2 - 4 V_1 V_2 = 100 - 4(0.5) = 100 - 2 = 98$.
$V_1 - V_2 = \sqrt{98} = 7\sqrt{2} \approx 9.899 \ m/s$.
Adding $(i)$ and (ii): $2 V_1 = 10 + 9.899 = 19.899 \Rightarrow V_1 \approx 9.95 \ m/s$.

$A$ time-varying force acts on a ball of mass $100 \ g$ for $2 \ ms$. The force versus time curve is shown below. If the initial speed of the ball is $10 \ m \ s^{-1}$,then the speed of the ball after $2 \ ms$ is: (in $m \ s^{-1}$)
Question diagram
A
$410$
B
$210$
C
$200$
D
$400$

Solution

(B) The impulse imparted to the ball is equal to the area under the $F-t$ graph.
Impulse = Area of the triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$
Impulse = $\frac{1}{2} \times (2 \times 10^{-3} \ s) \times (20 \times 10^3 \ N)$
Impulse = $20 \ N \ s = 20 \ kg \ m \ s^{-1}$
According to the impulse-momentum theorem,impulse is equal to the change in momentum $(\Delta p)$:
$\Delta p = m v - m u = \text{Impulse}$
Given: mass $m = 100 \ g = 0.1 \ kg$,initial velocity $u = 10 \ m \ s^{-1}$.
$0.1 \times v - 0.1 \times 10 = 20$
$0.1 \times v - 1 = 20$
$0.1 \times v = 21$
$v = \frac{21}{0.1} = 210 \ m \ s^{-1}$

Assertion $(A)$: In an elastic collision of two billiard balls,both kinetic energy and linear momentum remain conserved.
Reason $(R)$: During the collision of the balls,as the collision is elastic,there is no exchange of energy. Therefore,both energy and momentum are conserved.
A
$(A)$ is true,$(R)$ is true and $(R)$ is the correct explanation for $(A)$
B
$(A)$ is true,$(R)$ is true but $(R)$ is not the correct explanation for $(A)$
C
$(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false
D
$(A)$ is false but $(R)$ is true

Solution

(C) In an elastic collision,both the total linear momentum and the total kinetic energy of the system are conserved.
Assertion $(A)$ is true because by definition,an elastic collision is one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy.
Reason $(R)$ is false because,during an elastic collision,there is indeed an exchange of energy between the colliding bodies (momentum and kinetic energy are transferred between them),even though the total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.
Therefore,$(A)$ is true but $(R)$ is false.

$A$ uniform sphere $A$ with radius $R$ exerts a force $F$ on a small particle $B$ situated at a distance $2R$ from the centre of the sphere. $A$ spherical portion of diameter $R$ is cut from the sphere $A$ as shown in the figure. If $F^{\prime}$ is the new gravitational force between the remaining part of the sphere $A$ and the particle $B$,then find the correct relation between $F$ and $F^{\prime}$.
A
$F^{\prime} = \frac{7}{8} F$
B
$F^{\prime} = \frac{14}{9} F$
C
$F^{\prime} = \frac{7}{9} F$
D
$F^{\prime} = \frac{9}{7} F$

Solution

(C) Let the mass of the original sphere $A$ be $M$. The force $F$ on particle $B$ of mass $m$ at distance $2R$ is $F = \frac{GMm}{(2R)^2} = \frac{GMm}{4R^2}$.
The mass of the removed spherical portion of radius $r = R/2$ is $M^{\prime} = \rho \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi (R/2)^3 = \frac{M}{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3} \cdot \frac{4}{3} \pi \frac{R^3}{8} = \frac{M}{8}$.
The distance of the centre of the removed portion from the particle $B$ is $d = 2R - R/2 = 3R/2$.
The force exerted by the removed portion on $B$ is $F_{removed} = \frac{G M^{\prime} m}{d^2} = \frac{G (M/8) m}{(3R/2)^2} = \frac{GMm}{8 \cdot (9R^2/4)} = \frac{GMm}{18R^2}$.
Since $F = \frac{GMm}{4R^2}$,we have $\frac{GMm}{R^2} = 4F$. Thus,$F_{removed} = \frac{4F}{18} = \frac{2}{9} F$.
The new force $F^{\prime}$ is $F - F_{removed} = F - \frac{2}{9} F = \frac{7}{9} F$.

$A$ rocket is fired vertically with a speed of $4 \ km/s$ from the Earth's surface. How far from the Earth does the rocket go before returning to the Earth (in $km$)? (Take radius of Earth $R = 6.4 \times 10^6 \ m$ and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$)
A
$500.24$
B
$914.28$
C
$1230.24$
D
$1750.28$

Solution

(B) Using the principle of conservation of mechanical energy, the total energy at the surface equals the total energy at the maximum height $h$ reached by the rocket.
Total energy at surface = Total energy at height $h$
$-\frac{GMm}{R} + \frac{1}{2}mu^2 = -\frac{GMm}{R+h} + 0$
Dividing by $m$ and using $GM = gR^2$:
$-\frac{gR^2}{R} + \frac{1}{2}u^2 = -\frac{gR^2}{R+h}$
$-gR + \frac{1}{2}u^2 = -\frac{gR^2}{R+h}$
Given $u = 4000 \ m/s$, $R = 6.4 \times 10^6 \ m$, and $g = 10 \ m/s^2$:
$-(10)(6.4 \times 10^6) + \frac{1}{2}(4000)^2 = -\frac{10 \times (6.4 \times 10^6)^2}{6.4 \times 10^6 + h}$
$-6.4 \times 10^7 + 8 \times 10^6 = -\frac{4.096 \times 10^{14}}{6.4 \times 10^6 + h}$
$-5.6 \times 10^7 = -\frac{4.096 \times 10^{14}}{6.4 \times 10^6 + h}$
$6.4 \times 10^6 + h = \frac{4.096 \times 10^{14}}{5.6 \times 10^7} = 0.7314 \times 10^7 = 7.314 \times 10^6 \ m$
$h = 7.314 \times 10^6 - 6.4 \times 10^6 = 0.914 \times 10^6 \ m = 914 \ km$.
Thus, the correct option is $914.28 \ km$.

Four particles each of mass $m$ are placed at four vertices of a rectangle having side lengths $3 l_o$ and $4 l_o$. The magnitude of the gravitational potential energy of the system in units of $\frac{Gm^2}{l_o}$ is:
A
$7$/$6$
B
$47$/$30$
C
$47$/$60$
D
$7$/$12$

Solution

(B) The gravitational potential energy $U$ of a system of particles is given by the sum of the potential energies of all possible pairs: $U = -\sum \frac{Gm_i m_j}{r_{ij}}$.
For a rectangle with sides $a = 3 l_o$ and $b = 4 l_o$,the diagonal $d = \sqrt{(3 l_o)^2 + (4 l_o)^2} = 5 l_o$.
There are $4$ pairs with side length $3 l_o$ (two sides),$4 l_o$ (two sides),and $5 l_o$ (two diagonals).
$U = -\left[ \frac{Gm^2}{3 l_o} \times 2 + \frac{Gm^2}{4 l_o} \times 2 + \frac{Gm^2}{5 l_o} \times 2 \right]$
$U = -\frac{Gm^2}{l_o} \left[ \frac{2}{3} + \frac{2}{4} + \frac{2}{5} \right]$
$U = -\frac{Gm^2}{l_o} \left[ \frac{40 + 30 + 24}{60} \right] = -\frac{94}{60} \frac{Gm^2}{l_o} = -\frac{47}{30} \frac{Gm^2}{l_o}$.
The magnitude is $|U| = \frac{47}{30} \frac{Gm^2}{l_o}$.

Let the escape speed of an object on the earth's surface be $V_0$. The object is projected out with speed $5 V_0$. The speed of the object far away from the earth will be
A
$2 \sqrt{6} V_0$
B
$4 V_0$
C
$2 \sqrt{3} V_0$
D
$3 \sqrt{2} V_0$

Solution

(A) By the law of conservation of mechanical energy,the total energy at the surface of the earth must equal the total energy at a point far away from the earth (where potential energy is zero).
Let $m$ be the mass of the object and $M$ be the mass of the earth.
The escape speed $V_0$ is given by $V_0 = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{R}}$. Thus,$V_0^2 = \frac{2GM}{R}$.
At the surface: $E_i = \frac{1}{2} m(5V_0)^2 - \frac{GMm}{R}$.
Far away: $E_f = \frac{1}{2} mV^2 + 0$.
Equating $E_i = E_f$:
$\frac{1}{2} m(25V_0^2) - \frac{GMm}{R} = \frac{1}{2} mV^2$.
Substitute $\frac{GM}{R} = \frac{V_0^2}{2}$:
$\frac{25}{2} mV_0^2 - m(\frac{V_0^2}{2}) = \frac{1}{2} mV^2$.
$12 mV_0^2 = \frac{1}{2} mV^2$.
$V^2 = 24 V_0^2$.
$V = \sqrt{24} V_0 = 2\sqrt{6} V_0$.

Statement $(I)$: The force of attraction due to a hollow spherical shell of uniform density on a point mass situated inside it is always zero.
Statement $(II)$: The force of attraction between a hollow spherical shell of uniform density and a point mass situated outside is the same as if the entire mass of the shell were concentrated at the center of the shell.
Which of the following is correct?
A
Both statements $I$ and $II$ are true
B
Statement $I$ is true,but statement $II$ is false
C
Statement $II$ is true,but statement $I$ is false
D
Both statements $I$ and $II$ are false

Solution

(C) According to the Shell Theorem,the gravitational field $E$ inside a uniform hollow spherical shell is $0$. Therefore,no net gravitational force acts on a point mass placed inside it. Thus,Statement $(I)$ is false.
For any point outside a uniform hollow spherical shell,the shell behaves as if its entire mass were concentrated at its center. Thus,the gravitational force is calculated using Newton's Law of Gravitation as $F = G M m / r^2$,where $r$ is the distance from the center. Thus,Statement $(II)$ is correct.

Three particles,each of mass $M$,are situated at the vertices of an equilateral triangle of side length $L$. The only forces acting on the particles are their mutual gravitational forces. It is desired that each particle moves in a circle while maintaining the original separation $L$. The initial speed that should be given to each particle is
A
$\sqrt{\frac{2 G M}{L}}$
B
$\sqrt{\frac{G M}{2 L}}$
C
$\sqrt{\frac{G M}{L}}$
D
$\sqrt{\frac{3 G M}{L}}$

Solution

(C) As the particles move under gravitational influence,the gravitational force provides the necessary centripetal force.
The gravitational force between two bodies of mass $M$ separated by distance $L$ is $F = \frac{G M^2}{L^2}$.
The net force on a particle at vertex $A$ due to particles at $B$ and $C$ is the vector sum of the forces $\vec{F}_{AB}$ and $\vec{F}_{AC}$.
Since the angle between these forces is $60^\circ$,the magnitude of the resultant force is $F_{net} = 2 F \cos(30^\circ) = 2 \left( \frac{G M^2}{L^2} \right) \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = \frac{\sqrt{3} G M^2}{L^2}$.
The particles move in a circle of radius $R$. For an equilateral triangle,the distance from the centroid to a vertex is $R = \frac{L}{\sqrt{3}}$.
Equating the net force to the centripetal force,$\frac{M v^2}{R} = F_{net}$.
Substituting the values,$\frac{M v^2}{L/\sqrt{3}} = \frac{\sqrt{3} G M^2}{L^2}$.
Solving for $v$,$v^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3} G M^2}{L^2} \cdot \frac{L}{\sqrt{3} M} = \frac{G M}{L}$.
Therefore,$v = \sqrt{\frac{G M}{L}}$.

An ideal gas at pressure $P$ is enclosed in a container that is placed in a reservoir at temperature $T$. If the volume of the gas is increased to two times its original value,then the new pressure $P^{\prime}$ is equal to:
A
$1/2$
B
$2$
C
$1$
D
Cannot be determined

Solution

(A) Since the container is placed in a reservoir at a constant temperature $T$,the process is isothermal.
According to Boyle's Law for an ideal gas at constant temperature,$PV = \text{constant}$.
Therefore,$P_1 V_1 = P_2 V_2$.
Given $P_1 = P$,$V_1 = V$,and $V_2 = 2V$.
Substituting these values: $P \times V = P^{\prime} \times (2V)$.
Solving for $P^{\prime}$: $P^{\prime} = \frac{PV}{2V} = \frac{1}{2} P$.

Statement $(I)$: Gas thermometers are less sensitive than liquid thermometers.
Statement $(II)$: The ratio of the universal gas constant and Avogadro's number is called Boltzmann's constant.
Statement $(III)$: The density of a given mass of a gas at constant pressure is inversely proportional to its absolute temperature.
The correct option among the following is:
A
Statements $I, II, III$ are true.
B
Statements $I, II$ are true,but statement $III$ is false.
C
Statements $II, III$ are true,but statement $I$ is false.
D
Statements $I, II, III$ are false.

Solution

(C) Statement $(I)$ is false because gas thermometers are more sensitive than liquid thermometers due to the higher coefficient of thermal expansion of gases.
Statement $(II)$ is true. Boltzmann's constant $k_B$ is defined as the ratio of the universal gas constant $R$ to Avogadro's number $N_A$,i.e.,$k_B = \frac{R}{N_A}$.
Statement $(III)$ is true. From the ideal gas equation $PV = nRT$,we have $PV = \frac{m}{M}RT$,where $m$ is mass and $M$ is molar mass. Since density $\rho = \frac{m}{V}$,we get $P = \frac{\rho RT}{M}$. At constant pressure $P$,$\rho \propto \frac{1}{T}$.
Therefore,statements $(II)$ and $(III)$ are true,but statement $(I)$ is false.

In the figure,chamber $A$ contains a gas,a movable chamber $B$ is placed on top of the gas and it contains $n$ metal balls. The weight of chamber $B$ and the balls is supported by the gas. Chamber $C$ is a vacuum. Let the gas be in equilibrium at pressure $P$. Let $P^{\prime}$ be the pressure if one of the balls is taken away. Find $(P-P^{\prime}) / P$.
Question diagram

$1$
B
$n$
C
$2n$
D
$1/n$

Solution

(D) Let $M$ be the mass of chamber $B$ and $m$ be the mass of each ball. The total downward force exerted by the chamber and the balls on the gas is $F = (M + nm)g$.
If $A$ is the cross-sectional area of the chamber,the pressure $P$ of the gas is given by $P = F/A = (M + nm)g / A$.
When one ball is removed,the new force is $F^{\prime} = (M + (n-1)m)g$.
The new pressure $P^{\prime}$ is $P^{\prime} = F^{\prime} / A = (M + (n-1)m)g / A$.
The difference in pressure is $P - P^{\prime} = (M + nm)g/A - (M + nm - m)g/A = mg/A$.
Thus,$(P - P^{\prime}) / P = (mg/A) / ((M + nm)g/A) = m / (M + nm)$.
Assuming the mass of the chamber $M$ is negligible compared to the total mass of the balls (or that the problem implies the weight is primarily due to the balls),we have $M \approx 0$.
Then,$(P - P^{\prime}) / P = m / (nm) = 1/n$.

If the root mean square (rms) speed of nitrogen molecules at room temperature is $100 \ m \ s^{-1}$, then the rms speed of Helium molecules at the same temperature is
A
$100 \sqrt{7} \ m \ s^{-1}$
B
$350 \ m \ s^{-1}$
C
$50 \sqrt{14} \ m \ s^{-1}$
D
$100 \ m \ s^{-1}$

Solution

(A) The root mean square (rms) speed of gas molecules is given by the formula $v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$, where $R$ is the universal gas constant, $T$ is the absolute temperature, and $M$ is the molar mass of the gas.
For a given temperature $T$, the rms speed is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass: $v_{rms} \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{M}}$.
Therefore, the ratio of the rms speeds of Helium $(He)$ and Nitrogen $(N_2)$ is $\frac{v_{He}}{v_{N_2}} = \sqrt{\frac{M_{N_2}}{M_{He}}}$.
The molar mass of Nitrogen $(N_2)$ is $M_{N_2} = 28 \ g \ mol^{-1}$ and the molar mass of Helium $(He)$ is $M_{He} = 4 \ g \ mol^{-1}$.
Given $v_{N_2} = 100 \ m \ s^{-1}$, we substitute the values: $\frac{v_{He}}{100} = \sqrt{\frac{28}{4}} = \sqrt{7}$.
Thus, $v_{He} = 100 \sqrt{7} \ m \ s^{-1}$.

At what temperature does an oxygen molecule have the same r.m.s. velocity as a hydrogen molecule at $20 \ K$ (in $K$)?
A
$160$
B
$320$
C
$293$
D
$347$

Solution

(B) The root mean square (r.m.s.) velocity of a gas molecule is given by the formula: $v_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$.
Here,$R$ is the universal gas constant,$T$ is the absolute temperature,and $M$ is the molar mass of the gas.
For hydrogen $(H_2)$,the molar mass $M_{H_2} = 2 \times 10^{-3} \ kg/mol$ and temperature $T_{H_2} = 20 \ K$.
For oxygen $(O_2)$,the molar mass $M_{O_2} = 32 \times 10^{-3} \ kg/mol$.
We are given that the r.m.s. velocities are equal: $v_{rms(H_2)} = v_{rms(O_2)}$.
Therefore,$\sqrt{\frac{3RT_{H_2}}{M_{H_2}}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_{O_2}}{M_{O_2}}}$.
Squaring both sides and simplifying: $\frac{T_{H_2}}{M_{H_2}} = \frac{T_{O_2}}{M_{O_2}}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{20}{2} = \frac{T_{O_2}}{32}$.
$10 = \frac{T_{O_2}}{32} \implies T_{O_2} = 320 \ K$.

At what temperature is the root mean square (rms) speed of Neon gas atoms equal to the rms speed of Helium gas atoms at $-33^{\circ} C$ (in $K$)? (Atomic mass of $Ne = 20.2 \ u$ and that of $He = 4.0 \ u$)
A
$1208$
B
$1210$
C
$1212$
D
$1220$

Solution

(C) The root mean square speed of a gas is given by the formula $V_{rms} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT}{M}}$,where $R$ is the universal gas constant,$T$ is the temperature in Kelvin,and $M$ is the molar mass.
Given,$(V_{rms})_{Ne} = (V_{rms})_{He}$.
Substituting the formula: $\sqrt{\frac{3RT_{Ne}}{M_{Ne}}} = \sqrt{\frac{3RT_{He}}{M_{He}}}$.
Squaring both sides and canceling common terms: $\frac{T_{Ne}}{M_{Ne}} = \frac{T_{He}}{M_{He}}$.
Given $T_{He} = -33^{\circ} C = (-33 + 273) \ K = 240 \ K$,$M_{Ne} = 20.2 \ u$,and $M_{He} = 4.0 \ u$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{T_{Ne}}{20.2} = \frac{240}{4.0}$.
$\frac{T_{Ne}}{20.2} = 60$.
$T_{Ne} = 60 \times 20.2 = 1212 \ K$.

$f_1 = \mu m_1 g \cos 45^{\circ} = 0.4 \times 1 \times 10 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{2}} = 2\sqrt{2} \ N$
For the $2 \ kg$ block:
$f_2 = \mu m_2 g \cos 45^{\circ} = 0.4 \times 2 \times 10 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{8}{\sqrt{2}} = 4\sqrt{2} \ N$
The net force along the incline in the downward direction provides the acceleration $a = \alpha \sqrt{2}$:
$(m_1 + m_2)g \sin 45^{\circ} - (f_1 + f_2) = (m_1 + m_2)a$
$(1 + 2) \times 10 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - (2\sqrt{2} + 4\sqrt{2}) = (1 + 2) \times (\alpha \sqrt{2})$
$30 \times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} - 6\sqrt{2} = 3\alpha \sqrt{2}$
Multiply throughout by $\sqrt{2}$:
$30 - 6 \times 2 = 3\alpha \times 2$
$30 - 12 = 6\alpha$
$18 = 6\alpha$
$\alpha = 3$

$A$ block is placed on a parabolic shape ramp given by the equation $y = \frac{x^2}{20}$. If the coefficient of static friction $\mu_s$ is $0.5$,then what is the maximum height above the ground at which the block can be placed without slipping (in $m$)?
A
$2.5$
B
$1.25$
C
$0.5$
D
$0.25$

Solution

(B) The block will start slipping when the slope of the curve at that point is equal to the tangent of the angle of repose,$\tan \theta = \mu_s$.
The slope of the curve at any point $x$ is given by the derivative:
$m = \frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{x^2}{20} \right) = \frac{2x}{20} = \frac{x}{10}$.
For the block to remain in equilibrium without slipping,the slope must satisfy:
$\frac{dy}{dx} \leq \mu_s$
At the point of slipping,$\frac{x}{10} = 0.5$.
Solving for $x$:
$x = 0.5 \times 10 = 5 \ m$.
Now,substitute $x = 5 \ m$ into the equation of the parabola to find the maximum height $h$:
$h = y = \frac{x^2}{20} = \frac{5^2}{20} = \frac{25}{20} = 1.25 \ m$.

$A$ motor car moving with velocity $7 \ m/s$ stops in $10 \ m$ distance when brakes are applied. What is the relation between the resistance force $(R)$ and the weight $(W)$ of the car? (Take value of $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$)
A
$R = W$
B
$R = -W$
C
$R = -\frac{W}{2}$
D
$R = -\frac{W}{4}$

Solution

(D) Given: initial velocity $u = 7 \ m/s$,final velocity $v = 0 \ m/s$,distance $s = 10 \ m$,and $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$.
Using the equation of motion $v^2 = u^2 + 2as$:
$0^2 = (7)^2 + 2 \cdot a \cdot 10$
$0 = 49 + 20a$
$a = -\frac{49}{20} = -2.45 \ m/s^2$.
We know that $g = 9.8 \ m/s^2$,so $a = -\frac{9.8}{4} = -\frac{g}{4}$.
According to Newton's second law,the resistance force $R = ma$.
Substituting $a = -\frac{g}{4}$:
$R = m \left(-\frac{g}{4}\right) = -\frac{mg}{4}$.
Since weight $W = mg$,we get $R = -\frac{W}{4}$.

$A$ constant horizontal force $\overrightarrow{F}$ of magnitude $10 \,N$ is applied to a block $A$ and this produces an acceleration of magnitude $20 \,m/s^2$. If this block $A$ is then kept against another block $B$ of mass $1.5 \,kg$ as shown in the figure and a force $F^{\prime}$ of $20 \,N$ is applied,find the force on the block $B$. Neglect friction. (in $N$)
Question diagram
A
$15$
B
$10$
C
$20$
D
$5$

Solution

(A) First,calculate the mass of block $A$ using Newton's second law: $F = m_A a \Rightarrow 10 = m_A \times 20 \Rightarrow m_A = 0.5 \,kg$.
When block $A$ is placed against block $B$ and a force $F^{\prime} = 20 \,N$ is applied,both blocks move together with a common acceleration $a$.
The equation of motion for block $A$ is: $F^{\prime} - N = m_A a \Rightarrow 20 - N = 0.5 a$ $(i)$.
The equation of motion for block $B$ is: $N = m_B a \Rightarrow N = 1.5 a$ $(ii)$.
Adding equations $(i)$ and $(ii)$: $20 = 2 a \Rightarrow a = 10 \,m/s^2$.
Substituting $a$ into equation $(ii)$: $N = 1.5 \times 10 = 15 \,N$.
Thus,the force on block $B$ is $15 \,N$.

At time $t=0$,a force $F=\alpha t$,where $t$ is time in seconds,is applied to a body of mass $1 \text{ kg}$,resting on a smooth horizontal plane. If the direction of the force makes an angle of $45^{\circ}$ with the horizontal,then the velocity of the body at the moment of its breaking off the plane is
A
$\frac{100}{\alpha} \text{ m/s}$
B
$\frac{50 \sqrt{2}}{\alpha} \text{ m/s}$
C
$\frac{50 \alpha}{\sqrt{2}} \text{ m/s}$
D
$\frac{50}{\alpha} \text{ m/s}$

Solution

(B) Let at $t=t_0$,the body leaves the plane. Then,at $t=t_0$,the normal force $N=0$.
The vertical component of the force is $F_y = F \sin 45^{\circ} = \alpha t_0 \sin 45^{\circ}$.
For the body to break off the plane,the vertical component of the force must balance the weight of the body:
$N + \alpha t_0 \sin 45^{\circ} = mg$
Since $N=0$ at the moment of breaking off,we have:
$\alpha t_0 \sin 45^{\circ} = mg$
Given $m = 1 \text{ kg}$ and $g = 10 \text{ m/s}^2$:
$\alpha t_0 \left(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\right) = 1 \times 10$
$t_0 = \frac{10 \sqrt{2}}{\alpha} \text{ s}$.
The horizontal component of the force is $F_x = F \cos 45^{\circ} = \alpha t \cos 45^{\circ}$.
The acceleration of the body in the horizontal direction is $a = \frac{F_x}{m} = \frac{\alpha t \cos 45^{\circ}}{1} = \frac{\alpha t}{\sqrt{2}}$.
The velocity $V$ at time $t_0$ is given by:
$V = \int_0^{t_0} a \, dt = \int_0^{t_0} \frac{\alpha t}{\sqrt{2}} \, dt = \frac{\alpha}{\sqrt{2}} \left[ \frac{t^2}{2} \right]_0^{t_0} = \frac{\alpha t_0^2}{2 \sqrt{2}}$.
Substituting $t_0 = \frac{10 \sqrt{2}}{\alpha}$:
$V = \frac{\alpha}{2 \sqrt{2}} \left( \frac{10 \sqrt{2}}{\alpha} \right)^2 = \frac{\alpha}{2 \sqrt{2}} \times \frac{100 \times 2}{\alpha^2} = \frac{100}{\sqrt{2} \alpha} = \frac{50 \sqrt{2}}{\alpha} \text{ m/s}$.

Statement $(I)$: An object subjected to velocities $\overrightarrow{v_1}$ and $\overrightarrow{v_2}$ has a resultant velocity with magnitude $|\vec{v}| = |\overrightarrow{v_1}| + |\overrightarrow{v_2}|$.
Statement $(II)$: The magnitude of displacement is either less than or equal to the path length of an object between two points.
Statement $(III)$: The instantaneous acceleration is the limiting value of the average acceleration as the time interval approaches zero.
Which of the following is correct?
A
Statements $I, II, III$ are true
B
Statements $I, II$ are true,but Statement $III$ is false
C
Statements $II, III$ are true,but Statement $I$ is false
D
Statements $I, II, III$ are false

Solution

(C) Statement $(I)$ is incorrect because the resultant velocity magnitude is given by the vector addition formula: $|\vec{v}| = \sqrt{|\vec{v_1}|^2 + |\vec{v_2}|^2 + 2|\vec{v_1}| |\vec{v_2}| \cos \theta}$. It is only equal to the sum of magnitudes if the vectors are in the same direction $(\theta = 0^\circ)$.
Statement $(II)$ is correct because displacement is the shortest distance between two points,while path length is the total distance covered. Thus,displacement $\leq$ distance.
Statement $(III)$ is correct by definition. Instantaneous acceleration is defined as $\vec{a} = \lim_{\Delta t \rightarrow 0} \frac{\Delta \vec{v}}{\Delta t}$.

A
$6$
B
$8$
C
$9$
D

Solution

(C) Given the relation $S = \frac{a^{1/2} b}{c^3 d^4}$.
To find the maximum relative error in $S$,we use the formula for propagation of errors:
$\frac{\Delta S}{S} = \frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta a}{a} + \frac{\Delta b}{b} + 3 \frac{\Delta c}{c} + 4 \frac{\Delta d}{d}$.
Substituting the given percentage errors:
$\left( \frac{\Delta S}{S} \times 100 \right) = \frac{1}{2} \times (2 \%) + (1 \%) + 3 \times (1 \%) + 4 \times (1 \%)$.
Calculating the values:
$= 1 \% + 1 \% + 3 \% + 4 \% = 9 \%$.
Therefore,the percentage error in $S$ is $9 \%$.

(A) The ant's displacement vector $\vec{a}$ is given by the movement along the $x$ and $y$ axes:
$\vec{a} = 10 \hat{i} + 20 \hat{j}$
The position vector $\vec{b}$ of the point with magnitude $r = \sqrt{2} \ cm$ at an angle $\theta = 45^{\circ}$ with the $x$-axis is:
$\vec{b} = r \cos \theta \hat{i} + r \sin \theta \hat{j}$
$\vec{b} = \sqrt{2} \cos 45^{\circ} \hat{i} + \sqrt{2} \sin 45^{\circ} \hat{j}$
$\vec{b} = \sqrt{2} \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) \hat{i} + \sqrt{2} \left( \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \right) \hat{j} = \hat{i} + \hat{j}$
The dot product $\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b}$ is:
$\vec{a} \cdot \vec{b} = (10 \hat{i} + 20 \hat{j}) \cdot (\hat{i} + \hat{j})$

A
$1.02$
B
$1.14$
C
$1.18$
D
$1.24$

Solution

(B) The volume of the material of the hollow sphere is $V_S = \frac{4}{3} \pi (R^3 - r^3)$,where $R = 4 \ cm$ and $r = 2 \ cm$.
For a floating body,the buoyant force equals the weight of the body.
$B = W$
$\rho_L V_{sub} g = \rho_S V_S g$
Since the sphere is half submerged,the submerged volume $V_{sub} = \frac{1}{2} \times ( \frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 ) = \frac{2}{3} \pi R^3$.
Substituting the values:
$2.0 \times \frac{2}{3} \pi (4)^3 = \rho_S \times \frac{4}{3} \pi (4^3 - 2^3)$
$2.0 \times 64 = \rho_S \times (64 - 8)$
$128 = \rho_S \times 56$
$\rho_S = \frac{128}{56} \approx 2.28 \ g \ cm^{-3}$.
Wait,re-evaluating the calculation: $V_S = \frac{4}{3} \pi (64 - 8) = \frac{4}{3} \pi (56) = \frac{224}{3} \pi$.
$V_{sub} = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3} \pi (4^3) = \frac{128}{3} \pi$.
Equating forces: $2.0 \times (\frac{128}{3} \pi) = \rho_S \times (\frac{224}{3} \pi)$.
$\rho_S = \frac{256}{224} = 1.1428 \approx 1.14 \ g \ cm^{-3}$.

If the density of the liquid at $42^{\circ}C$ is $1.0 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$,then the coefficient of linear expansion of the metal is:

C
$\frac{1}{3} \times 10^{-4} /^{\circ}C$
D
$\frac{4}{3} \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$

Solution

(A) The apparent weight of an object in a liquid is given by $W_{app} = W_{air} - F_B$,where $F_B = V \rho g$ is the buoyant force.
At $T_1 = 32^{\circ}C$: $W_{app1} = 39 \ gm$,$W_{air} = 49 \ gm$,$\rho_1 = 1.2 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$.
$V_1 = \frac{W_{air} - W_{app1}}{\rho_1} = \frac{(49 - 39) \times 10^{-3} \ kg}{1.2 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3} = \frac{10 \times 10^{-3}}{1.2 \times 10^3} = \frac{1}{12} \times 10^{-5} \ m^3 \approx 8.33 \times 10^{-6} \ m^3$.
At $T_2 = 42^{\circ}C$: $W_{app2} = 40 \ gm$,$W_{air} = 49 \ gm$,$\rho_2 = 1.0 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3$.
$V_2 = \frac{W_{air} - W_{app2}}{\rho_2} = \frac{(49 - 40) \times 10^{-3} \ kg}{1.0 \times 10^3 \ kg/m^3} = 9 \times 10^{-6} \ m^3$.
The change in volume is $\Delta V = V_2 - V_1 = V_1 (3\alpha \Delta T)$.
$9 \times 10^{-6} - 8.33 \times 10^{-6} = 8.33 \times 10^{-6} \times 3 \alpha \times (42 - 32)$.
$0.67 \times 10^{-6} = 8.33 \times 10^{-6} \times 3 \alpha \times 10$.
$\alpha = \frac{0.67}{8.33 \times 30} \approx 2.67 \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C = \frac{8}{3} \times 10^{-3} /^{\circ}C$.

(C) The velocity of efflux $(v)$ for an orifice at depth $h$ is given by Torricelli's Law:
$v = \sqrt{2gh}$
Given $h = 20.0 \ m$ and $g = 10 \ m s^{-2}$:
$v = \sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 20} = \sqrt{400} = 20 \ m s^{-1}$
The volume flow rate $(Q)$ is the product of the area of the orifice $(A)$ and the velocity of efflux $(v)$:
$Q = A \times v$
$3.08 \times 10^{-5} = \left( \frac{\pi d^2}{4} \right) \times 20$
Rearranging for $d^2$:
$d^2 = \frac{4 \times 3.08 \times 10^{-5}}{20 \times \pi} = \frac{12.32 \times 10^{-5}}{62.83} \approx 1.96 \times 10^{-6} \ m^2$

A
$v/4$
B
$v$
C
$2v$
D
$4v$

Solution

(B) According to the equation of continuity for an incompressible fluid,the product of the cross-sectional area and the velocity of the fluid remains constant at all points along the flow:
$A_A v_A = A_B v_B$
Given that the pipe is cylindrical,the cross-sectional area $A = \pi r^2$.
At point $A$,the radius is $2R$,so $A_A = \pi (2R)^2 = 4\pi R^2$.
At point $B$,the radius is $R$,so $A_B = \pi R^2$.
The velocity at point $B$ is given as $v_B = 4v$.
Substituting these values into the continuity equation:
$4\pi R^2 \times v_A = \pi R^2 \times 4v$
Dividing both sides by $4\pi R^2$:
$v_A = v$

Diameter of throat $D_2 = 2 \,cm$,radius $r_2 = 1 \,cm$.
Velocity in pipe $V_1 = 10 \,m/s$.
Density of water $\rho = 1000 \,kg/m^3$.
Step $1$: Using the equation of continuity $A_1 V_1 = A_2 V_2$:
$\pi r_1^2 V_1 = \pi r_2^2 V_2$
$(2)^2 \times 10 = (1)^2 \times V_2$
$V_2 = 40 \,m/s$.
Step $2$: Using Bernoulli's theorem for horizontal flow:
$P_1 + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_1^2 = P_2 + \frac{1}{2} \rho V_2^2$
$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \rho (V_2^2 - V_1^2)$
$P_1 - P_2 = \frac{1}{2} \times 1000 \times (40^2 - 10^2)$
$P_1 - P_2 = 500 \times (1600 - 100)$

For an air bubble in a liquid,there is only one free surface.
Excess pressure due to surface tension is given by $\Delta P_s = \frac{2S}{R}$.
Pressure due to depth is given by $\Delta P_h = \rho g h$.
Total excess pressure $\Delta P = \frac{2S}{R} + \rho g h$.

Substituting the values:
$\Delta P = \frac{2 \times 0.1}{1 \times 10^{-3}} + (2000 \times 10 \times 8 \times 10^{-2})$

Solution

(D) soap bubble has two surfaces (inner and outer),so the surface area is $2 \times 4 \pi r^2 = 8 \pi r^2$.
Initial radius $r_i = R$.
Initial surface energy $U_i = T \times (8 \pi R^2) = 8 \pi R^2 T$.
Final diameter is doubled,so final radius $r_f = 2R$.
Final surface energy $U_f = T \times (8 \pi (2R)^2) = T \times (8 \pi \times 4R^2) = 32 \pi R^2 T$.
The surface energy needed is $\Delta U = U_f - U_i$.

(in $cm$)

B
$35$
C

D

Solution

(C) Let $H = 50 \ cm$ be the total height of the vessel. Let the hole be made at a height $y$ from the bottom. Then the depth of the hole from the free surface is $h = H - y = 50 - y$.
The velocity of the water jet is $v = \sqrt{2gh} = \sqrt{2g(50-y)}$.
The time taken for the water to reach the table is $t = \sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}}$.
The horizontal range $R$ is given by $R = v \times t = \sqrt{2g(50-y)} \times \sqrt{\frac{2y}{g}} = 2\sqrt{y(50-y)}$.
To maximize the range $R$,we differentiate $R$ with respect to $y$ and set it to zero:
$\frac{dR}{dy} = 2 \times \frac{1}{2\sqrt{y(50-y)}} \times (50 - 2y) = 0$.
This gives $50 - 2y = 0$,so $y = 25 \ cm$.
Thus,the hole should be made at a height of $25 \ cm$ from the bottom.

(A) Terminal velocity $(v_t)$ is given by the formula derived from Stokes' Law: $v_t = \frac{2r^2(\rho - \sigma)g}{9\eta}$.
Given: Radius $r = 0.02 \ mm = 2 \times 10^{-5} \ m$,viscosity $\eta = 1.8 \times 10^{-5} \ N \ s \ m^{-2}$,density of water $\rho = 1000 \ kg \ m^{-3}$,density of air $\sigma \approx 0$,and $g = 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.
Substituting the values: $v_t = \frac{2 \times (2 \times 10^{-5})^2 \times 1000 \times 10}{9 \times 1.8 \times 10^{-5}}$.
$v_t = \frac{2 \times 4 \times 10^{-10} \times 10^4}{16.2 \times 10^{-5}} = \frac{8 \times 10^{-6}}{16.2 \times 10^{-5}} = \frac{80}{16.2} \times 10^{-2} \approx 4.938 \times 10^{-2} \ m \ s^{-1}$.
Converting to $cm \ s^{-1}$: $v_t \approx 4.938 \times 10^{-2} \times 100 \ cm \ s^{-1} = 4.938 \ cm \ s^{-1}$.
Rounding to the nearest option,we get $4.9 \ cm \ s^{-1}$.

A
$2.5 \times 10^{-2} \frac{Ns}{m^2}$
B
$0.25 \times 10^{-2} \frac{Ns}{m^2}$
C
$5 \times 10^{-2} \frac{Ns}{m^2}$
D
$0.5 \times 10^{-2} \frac{Ns}{m^2}$

Solution

$(A)$ Given:
Side of the cube, $L = 10 \,cm = 0.1 \,m$.
Area of the base, $A = L^2 = (0.1 \,m)^2 = 0.01 \,m^2$.
Thickness of the liquid film, $dx = 0.2 \,mm = 0.2 \times 10^{-3} \,m$.
Applied force, $F = 0.1 \,N$.
Constant velocity, $v = 0.08 \,m/s$.
Since the cube moves with a constant speed, the net force is zero, meaning the applied force equals the viscous drag force: $F = F_{drag}$.
According to Newton's law of viscosity, $F = \eta A \frac{dv}{dx}$.
Substituting the values: $0.1 = \eta \times 0.01 \times \frac{0.08}{0.2 \times 10^{-3}}$.
$0.1 = \eta \times 0.01 \times 400$.
$0.1 = \eta \times 4$.
$\eta = \frac{0.1}{4} = 0.025 \,Ns/m^2 = 2.5 \times 10^{-2} \,Ns/m^2$.

Consider an increase of $1 \%$ in each of the radius of the artery,the viscosity of blood,and the density of blood,respectively. The percentage change in the flow rate of blood in the artery is (in $\%$)
A
$0.25$
B
$0.50$
C
$1.0$
D
$3.0$

Solution

(D) According to Poiseuille's law,the volume flow rate $Q$ is given by:
$Q = \frac{\pi \Delta P r^4}{8 L \eta}$
where $r$ is the radius,$\eta$ is the viscosity,and $\Delta P$ is the pressure difference.
Since the flow rate $Q$ does not depend on the density of blood,the change in density does not affect the flow rate.
Taking the logarithmic differentiation of the formula:
$\frac{\Delta Q}{Q} = 4 \frac{\Delta r}{r} - \frac{\Delta \eta}{\eta}$
Given that the radius $r$ increases by $1 \%$ $(\frac{\Delta r}{r} = 0.01)$ and the viscosity $\eta$ increases by $1 \%$ $(\frac{\Delta \eta}{\eta} = 0.01)$:
$\frac{\Delta Q}{Q} = 4(0.01) - 0.01 = 0.04 - 0.01 = 0.03$
Therefore,the percentage change in the flow rate is $0.03 \times 100 = 3 \%$.

$A$ spherical drop of radius $r$ is divided into $8$ equal droplets. If the surface tension is $S$,then the work done in the process will be
A
$2 \pi r^2 S$
B
$3 \pi r^2 S$
C
$4 \pi r^2 S$
D
$4 \pi r^2 S^2$

Solution

(C) The initial surface area of the drop is $A_i = 4 \pi r^2$. The initial surface energy is $U_i = S \times 4 \pi r^2$.
Since the volume remains constant,the volume of the large drop equals the sum of the volumes of the $8$ small droplets: $\frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 = 8 \times \frac{4}{3} \pi (r')^3$.
This simplifies to $r^3 = 8(r')^3$,so $r = 2r'$,which means $r' = r/2$.
The final surface area of $8$ droplets is $A_f = 8 \times 4 \pi (r')^2 = 8 \times 4 \pi (r/2)^2 = 8 \times 4 \pi (r^2/4) = 8 \pi r^2$.
The final surface energy is $U_f = S \times 8 \pi r^2$.
The work done is equal to the change in surface energy: $W = \Delta U = U_f - U_i = S(8 \pi r^2 - 4 \pi r^2) = 4 \pi r^2 S$.

A
$2.2 \times 10^{-4}$
B
$0.7 \times 10^{-4}$
C
$0.31 \times 10^{-4}$
D
$10^{-4}$

Solution

(D) The increase in pressure at the bottom of the pool due to the water column is given by $\Delta P = \rho g h$.
Substituting the given values: $\Delta P = 1000 \times 10 \times 22 = 2.2 \times 10^5 \ N \ m^{-2}$.
The bulk modulus $B$ is defined as $B = -\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta V / V}$.
Therefore,the fractional change in volume is $\left| \frac{\Delta V}{V} \right| = \frac{\Delta P}{B}$.
Substituting the values: $\left| \frac{\Delta V}{V} \right| = \frac{2.2 \times 10^5}{2.2 \times 10^9} = 10^{-4}$.

An object of mass $15 \,kg$ is attached to the end of a metal wire of unstretched length $1.0 \,m$. The object is then whirled in a vertical circle with an angular velocity of $4 \,rad/s$ at the bottom of the circle. If the cross-sectional area of the wire is $0.05 \,cm^2$ and Young's modulus of the metal is $2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$, then calculate the elongation of the wire when the mass is at the lowest point of its path.

A
$0.27$
B
$0.39$
C
$0.55$
D
$0.25$

Solution

(B) At the lowest point of the vertical circle, the tension $T$ in the wire provides the necessary centripetal force and balances the weight of the object.
The net force $F$ acting on the wire is given by $F = mg + m\omega^2l$.
Given values: $m = 15 \,kg$, $l = 1.0 \,m$, $\omega = 4 \,rad/s$, $A = 0.05 \,cm^2 = 0.05 \times 10^{-4} \,m^2$, $Y = 2 \times 10^{11} \,N/m^2$, and $g = 10 \,m/s^2$.
Calculating the force $F$:
$F = (15 \times 10) + (15 \times 4^2 \times 1) = 150 + 240 = 390 \,N$.
Using the formula for Young's modulus $Y = \frac{F/A}{\Delta l/l}$, the elongation $\Delta l$ is:
$\Delta l = \frac{Fl}{AY} = \frac{390 \times 1.0}{(0.05 \times 10^{-4}) \times (2 \times 10^{11})}$
$\Delta l = \frac{390}{0.1 \times 10^7} = \frac{390}{10^6} = 390 \times 10^{-6} \,m = 0.39 \,mm$.
Thus, the correct option is $B$.

Two wires of same length having radius of $2 \ mm$ and $1.5 \ mm$ respectively are loaded with same weights. Extension of the second wire is double than that of the first wire. What is the ratio of the Young's modulus of the first wire to that of the second wire?
A
$8$/$9$
B
$9$/$8$
C
$3$/$4$
D
$4$/$3$

Solution

(B) The formula for extension $\Delta l$ is given by $\Delta l = \frac{F l}{Y A} = \frac{m g l}{Y \pi r^2}$.
Since $m, g, l$ are the same for both wires,we have $\Delta l \propto \frac{1}{Y r^2}$.
Therefore,$\frac{\Delta l_1}{\Delta l_2} = \frac{Y_2}{Y_1} \times \left( \frac{r_2}{r_1} \right)^2$.
Given $\Delta l_2 = 2 \Delta l_1$,so $\frac{\Delta l_1}{\Delta l_2} = \frac{1}{2}$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{1}{2} = \frac{Y_2}{Y_1} \times \left( \frac{1.5}{2} \right)^2$.
$\frac{1}{2} = \frac{Y_2}{Y_1} \times \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)^2 = \frac{Y_2}{Y_1} \times \frac{9}{16}$.
$\frac{Y_1}{Y_2} = \frac{9}{16} \times 2 = \frac{18}{16} = \frac{9}{8}$.

(A) Given: Radius $r = 10.0 \ mm = 0.01 \ m$,Length $L = 50.0 \ cm = 0.5 \ m$,Force $F = 10.0 \times \pi \ kN = 10^4 \pi \ N$,Young's modulus $Y = 2.0 \times 10^{11} \ N/m^2$.
The formula for change in length is $\Delta L = \frac{FL}{AY}$,where $A = \pi r^2$.
Substituting the values: $A = \pi \times (0.01)^2 = \pi \times 10^{-4} \ m^2$.
$\Delta L = \frac{(10^4 \pi) \times 0.5}{(\pi \times 10^{-4}) \times (2.0 \times 10^{11})}$.
$\Delta L = \frac{0.5 \times 10^4}{2.0 \times 10^7} = 0.25 \times 10^{-3} \ m = 0.25 \ mm$.

$W = \frac{1}{2} \times \left( Y \frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell} \right) \times \left( \frac{\Delta \ell}{\ell} \right) \times (A \ell)$
$W = \frac{1}{2} \frac{Y A}{\ell} (\Delta \ell)^2$
Given:

$A = 10^{-6} \ m^2$
$\ell = 2 \ m$
$\Delta \ell = 2.004 - 2 = 0.004 \ m = 4 \times 10^{-3} \ m$

Question diagram

C

D

Solution

(B) The particle starts from rest,so its initial velocity $u = 0 \ m \ s^{-1}$.
In an acceleration-time $(a-t)$ graph,the change in velocity $(\Delta v)$ is equal to the area under the curve.
Since the acceleration is positive throughout the interval from $t = 0 \ s$ to $t = 15 \ s$,the velocity of the particle increases continuously.
Therefore,the maximum speed is attained at $t = 15 \ s$.
The area under the $a-t$ graph is the area of the right-angled triangle with base $15 \ s$ and height $10 \ m \ s^{-2}$.
$\Delta v = \text{Area} = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$
$\Delta v = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \ s \times 10 \ m \ s^{-2} = 75 \ m \ s^{-1}$.
Since $v_{max} = u + \Delta v = 0 + 75 \ m \ s^{-1} = 75 \ m \ s^{-1}$.

$A$ rocket moves straight upward with zero initial velocity and with an acceleration of $20 \,m/s^2$. It runs out of fuel and stops accelerating at the end of $5^{th} \,sec$. It reaches a maximum height and falls back to the earth. The speed when it hits the ground is (Take $g = 10 \,m/s^2$):
A
$100 \sqrt{2} \,m/s$
B
$150 \sqrt{3} \,m/s$
C
$50 \sqrt{6} \,m/s$
D
$75 \,m/s$

Solution

(C) Step $1$: Calculate the velocity and height at the end of the powered flight $(t = 5 \,s)$.
The initial velocity $u = 0$, acceleration $a = 20 \,m/s^2$, and time $t = 5 \,s$.
The velocity at $t = 5 \,s$ is $V_{max} = u + at = 0 + 20 \times 5 = 100 \,m/s$.
The height reached at $t = 5 \,s$ is $S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 20 \times 5^2 = 250 \,m$.
Step $2$: Calculate the final speed when it hits the ground.
After $t = 5 \,s$, the rocket is in free fall under gravity $(g = 10 \,m/s^2)$.
Using the work-energy theorem or kinematic equations, the total energy at the peak height is conserved, or we can use $V^2 = u^2 + 2aS$.
Here, the rocket starts from height $S = 250 \,m$ with an initial upward velocity $V_{max} = 100 \,m/s$.
When it hits the ground, the final velocity $V$ is given by $V^2 = V_{max}^2 + 2gS$.
$V^2 = (100)^2 + 2 \times 10 \times 250$.
$V^2 = 10000 + 5000 = 15000$.
$V = \sqrt{15000} = \sqrt{2500 \times 6} = 50 \sqrt{6} \,m/s$.

A
$102$
B
$100$
C
$98$
D
$9.8$

Solution

(C) The equation of motion for height $H$ at time $t$ is given by $H = ut - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$.
Since the ball passes the same height $H$ at $t_1 = 2 \,s$ and $t_2 = 10 \,s$,we have:
$H = u(2) - \frac{1}{2}g(2)^2 = 2u - 2g$
$H = u(10) - \frac{1}{2}g(10)^2 = 10u - 50g$
Equating the two expressions for $H$:
$2u - 2g = 10u - 50g$
$8u = 48g$
$u = 6g = 6 \times 9.8 = 58.8 \,m/s$
Now,substitute $u$ back into the expression for $H$:
$H = 2(58.8) - 2(9.8) = 117.6 - 19.6 = 98 \,m$.

A
$\frac{2}{3}$
B
$\frac{1}{3}$
C
$\frac{4}{5}$
D
$\frac{4}{9}$

Solution

(C) Let the initial velocity of the bullet be $u$.
After travelling a distance $x$,the velocity becomes $v_1 = u - \frac{1}{3}u = \frac{2u}{3}$.
Using the equation of motion $v^2 = u^2 + 2as$,where $a$ is the retardation (deceleration) inside the target:
$(\frac{2u}{3})^2 = u^2 - 2ax$
$\frac{4u^2}{9} = u^2 - 2ax$
$2ax = u^2 - \frac{4u^2}{9} = \frac{5u^2}{9} \quad \dots (1)$
Now,for the second part of the motion,the bullet starts with velocity $\frac{2u}{3}$ and comes to rest (final velocity $v_2 = 0$) after travelling a further distance $x^{\prime}$:
$0^2 = (\frac{2u}{3})^2 - 2ax^{\prime}$
$2ax^{\prime} = \frac{4u^2}{9} \quad \dots (2)$
Dividing equation $(2)$ by equation $(1)$:
$\frac{2ax^{\prime}}{2ax} = \frac{4u^2/9}{5u^2/9}$
$\frac{x^{\prime}}{x} = \frac{4}{5}$.

B
$5 \ m \ s^{-2}$ and $5 \ m$
C
$5 \ m \ s^{-2}$ and $6 \ m$
D
$6 \ m \ s^{-2}$ and $5 \ m$

Solution

(A) Given: Initial velocity $u = 0 \ m \ s^{-1}$,Final velocity $v = 10 \ m \ s^{-1}$,Time $t = 2 \ s$.
For constant acceleration,we use the first equation of motion:
$v = u + at$
$10 = 0 + a \times 2$
$a = \frac{10}{2} = 5 \ m \ s^{-2}$.
Now,for the distance travelled $(s)$,we use the second equation of motion:
$s = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$
$s = 0 \times 2 + \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times (2)^2$
$s = 0 + \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 4$
$s = 10 \ m$.
Thus,the acceleration is $5 \ m \ s^{-2}$ and the distance travelled is $10 \ m$.

Solution

(D) When a body reverses its direction,it comes to rest for a moment,for example,a body thrown upward at the topmost point. Hence,the reason statement is correct.
In the same example,at the topmost point,the velocity of the particle is $0$,but the acceleration of the particle is equal to the acceleration due to gravity $(g = 9.8 \ m/s^2)$,which is non-zero.
Therefore,the assertion statement is false.

B
$\frac{1.141}{\pi} \text{ mJ}$
C
$1 \text{ mJ}$
D
$0.5 \text{ mJ}$

Solution

(A) Given: Resistance $R = 100 \Omega$,$AC$ source $\varepsilon = 10 \sin (250 \pi t)$.
Comparing with $\varepsilon = \varepsilon_0 \sin (\omega t)$,we get $\varepsilon_0 = 10 \text{ V}$ and $\omega = 250 \pi \text{ rad/s}$.
The energy dissipated as heat $H$ is given by $H = \int_0^{t} \frac{\varepsilon^2}{R} dt$.
$H = \frac{1}{R} \int_0^{10^{-3}} (10 \sin (250 \pi t))^2 dt = \frac{100}{100} \int_0^{10^{-3}} \sin^2 (250 \pi t) dt$.
Using $\sin^2 \theta = \frac{1 - \cos 2\theta}{2}$,we get $H = \int_0^{10^{-3}} \frac{1 - \cos (500 \pi t)}{2} dt$.
$H = \frac{1}{2} \left[ t - \frac{\sin (500 \pi t)}{500 \pi} \right]_0^{10^{-3}}$.
$H = \frac{1}{2} \left[ 10^{-3} - \frac{\sin (500 \pi \times 10^{-3})}{500 \pi} \right] = \frac{1}{2} \left[ 10^{-3} - \frac{\sin (0.5 \pi)}{500 \pi} \right]$.
Since $\sin (0.5 \pi) = 1$,$H = \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{1}{1000} - \frac{1}{500 \pi} \right] = \frac{1}{2} \left[ \frac{\pi - 2}{1000 \pi} \right] = \frac{\pi - 2}{2000 \pi} \text{ J}$.
Approximating $\pi \approx 3.14$,$\pi - 2 \approx 1.14$. So $H \approx \frac{1.14}{2000 \pi} \text{ J} = \frac{0.57}{\pi} \times 10^{-3} \text{ J} = \frac{0.57}{\pi} \text{ mJ}$.

$Q = \frac{1}{20} \sqrt{\frac{1}{16 \times 10^{-6}}}$
$Q = \frac{1}{20} \times \frac{1}{4 \times 10^{-3}}$
$Q = \frac{1}{20} \times \frac{1000}{4}$
$Q = \frac{250}{20} = 12.5$
Thus,the $Q$-value is $12.5$.

A
$20$
B
$10$
C
$11$
D
$15$

Solution

(C) Given: $C = 100 \mu F = 10^{-4} F$,$R = 20 \Omega$,$L = 12.5 mH = 12.5 \times 10^{-3} H$,$V_{rms} = 220 V$,$f = \frac{200}{\pi} Hz$.
First,calculate the angular frequency: $\omega = 2 \pi f = 2 \pi \times \frac{200}{\pi} = 400 rad/s$.
Calculate inductive reactance: $X_L = \omega L = 400 \times 12.5 \times 10^{-3} = 5 \Omega$.
Calculate capacitive reactance: $X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{400 \times 100 \times 10^{-6}} = \frac{1}{0.04} = 25 \Omega$.
Calculate impedance: $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (X_L - X_C)^2} = \sqrt{20^2 + (5 - 25)^2} = \sqrt{400 + (-20)^2} = \sqrt{400 + 400} = \sqrt{800} = 20\sqrt{2} \Omega$.
The peak voltage is $V_0 = V_{rms} \sqrt{2} = 220\sqrt{2} V$.
The maximum current is $I_0 = \frac{V_0}{Z} = \frac{220\sqrt{2}}{20\sqrt{2}} = 11 A$.

An $AC$ current is given by the expression,$I(t) = 50 \sin(200 \pi t)$ in amperes. The frequency and $RMS$ value of the current respectively are
A
$100 \text{ Hz}, 50 \sqrt{2} \text{ A}$
B
$100 \text{ Hz}, 25 \sqrt{2} \text{ A}$
C
$200 \text{ Hz}, 50 \sqrt{2} \text{ A}$
D
$200 \text{ Hz}, 25 \sqrt{2} \text{ A}$

Solution

(B) The standard equation for an alternating current is given by $I(t) = I_0 \sin(\omega t)$,where $I_0$ is the peak current and $\omega$ is the angular frequency.
Comparing this with the given equation $I(t) = 50 \sin(200 \pi t)$,we find the peak current $I_0 = 50 \text{ A}$ and the angular frequency $\omega = 200 \pi \text{ rad/s}$.
The $RMS$ value of the current is calculated as $I_{RMS} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{50}{\sqrt{2}} = 25 \sqrt{2} \text{ A}$.
The frequency $f$ is related to the angular frequency by the formula $\omega = 2 \pi f$.
Substituting the value of $\omega$,we get $200 \pi = 2 \pi f$,which simplifies to $f = 100 \text{ Hz}$.
Thus,the frequency is $100 \text{ Hz}$ and the $RMS$ value is $25 \sqrt{2} \text{ A}$.

$A$ generator produces a current of $100 \, A$ at $4000 \, V$. The voltage is stepped up to $2 \times 10^5 \, V$ by a transformer before being sent on a high voltage transmission line of resistance $50 \, \Omega$. The percentage of power loss in the transmission line is (in $\%$)
A
$0.25$
B
$0.05$
C
$1.25$
D
$0.02$

Solution

(B) The power produced by the generator is $P = V \times I = 4000 \, V \times 100 \, A = 4 \times 10^5 \, W$.
Since the transformer is ideal, the power remains constant. The current in the transmission line $(I')$ is given by $P = V' \times I'$, where $V' = 2 \times 10^5 \, V$.
$I' = P / V' = (4 \times 10^5 \, W) / (2 \times 10^5 \, V) = 2 \, A$.
The power loss in the transmission line is $P_{loss} = (I')^2 \times R = (2 \, A)^2 \times 50 \, \Omega = 4 \times 50 = 200 \, W$.
The percentage of power loss is $(P_{loss} / P) \times 100 = (200 / 4 \times 10^5) \times 100 = (2 \times 10^2 / 4 \times 10^5) \times 10^2 = 0.5 \times 10^{-1} \times 10^2 = 0.05 \%$.

A
$1.5$
B
$2.89$
C
$1.89$
D
$3.5$

Solution

(C) The energy of the emitted photon during a transition from $n_i = 3$ to $n_f = 2$ is given by the Rydberg formula:
$E = 13.6 \left[ \frac{1}{n_f^2} - \frac{1}{n_i^2} \right] \text{ eV}$
Substituting the values $n_f = 2$ and $n_i = 3$:
$E = 13.6 \left[ \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{3^2} \right] \text{ eV}$
$E = 13.6 \left[ \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9} \right] \text{ eV}$
$E = 13.6 \left[ \frac{9 - 4}{36} \right] \text{ eV}$
$E = 13.6 \times \frac{5}{36} \text{ eV} \approx 1.89 \text{ eV}$
For the photoelectric effect to occur, the energy of the incident photon must be greater than or equal to the work function $(\Phi)$ of the metal.
Therefore, the maximum work function is $\Phi_{\text{max}} = 1.89 \text{ eV}$.

If the series limit frequency of the Balmer series is $\nu_{B}$,then the series limit frequency of the Brackett series is
A
$\frac{4 \nu_{B}}{25}$
B
$\frac{\nu_{B}}{9}$
C
$\frac{\nu_{B}}{4}$
D
$\frac{9 \nu_{B}}{4}$

Solution

(C) The frequency $\nu$ of emitted radiation for a transition in a hydrogen atom is given by $\nu = cR \left[ \frac{1}{n_1^2} - \frac{1}{n_2^2} \right]$.
For the series limit,the transition occurs from $n_2 = \infty$ to $n_1$.
For the Balmer series,$n_1 = 2$,so $\nu_{B} = cR \left[ \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right] = \frac{cR}{4}$.
For the Brackett series,$n_1 = 4$,so $\nu' = cR \left[ \frac{1}{4^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right] = \frac{cR}{16}$.
Dividing the two expressions: $\frac{\nu'}{\nu_{B}} = \frac{cR/16}{cR/4} = \frac{4}{16} = \frac{1}{4}$.
Therefore,$\nu' = \frac{\nu_{B}}{4}$.

The difference in the wavelength between the maximum and minimum of Balmer series [Use $R_{H} = 1 \times 10^7 \ m^{-1}$]. (in $Å$)
A
$1600$
B
$3200$
C
$4000$
D
$4800$

Solution

(B) The Rydberg formula for the Balmer series is given by $\frac{1}{\lambda} = R_H \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{n^2} \right)$,where $n = 3, 4, 5, \dots$
For the maximum wavelength (minimum energy),we take $n = 3$:
$\frac{1}{\lambda_{max}} = 10^7 \left( \frac{1}{4} - \frac{1}{9} \right) = 10^7 \left( \frac{5}{36} \right) \implies \lambda_{max} = \frac{36}{5} \times 10^{-7} \ m = 7.2 \times 10^{-7} \ m = 7200 \ Å$.
For the minimum wavelength (maximum energy),we take $n = \infty$:
$\frac{1}{\lambda_{min}} = 10^7 \left( \frac{1}{4} - 0 \right) = 10^7 \left( \frac{1}{4} \right) \implies \lambda_{min} = 4 \times 10^{-7} \ m = 4000 \ Å$.
The difference in wavelength is $\Delta \lambda = \lambda_{max} - \lambda_{min} = 7200 \ Å - 4000 \ Å = 3200 \ Å$.

The radius and mass number of nucleus '$1$' is $R_1$ and $A_1$ respectively. The radius and mass number of nucleus '$2$' is $R_2$ and $A_2$ respectively. If $A_2$ is larger than $A_1$ by $2 \%$,then $R_2$ is larger than $R_1$ by
A
$\frac{2}{3} \%$
B
$1 \%$
C
$8 \%$
D
$\frac{3}{2} \%$

Solution

(A) The radius of a nucleus is given by the relation $R = R_0 A^{1/3}$,where $R_0$ is a constant and $A$ is the mass number.
For nucleus $1$: $R_1 = R_0 A_1^{1/3}$.
For nucleus $2$: $R_2 = R_0 A_2^{1/3}$.
Taking the ratio: $\frac{R_2}{R_1} = \left( \frac{A_2}{A_1} \right)^{1/3}$.
Given that $A_2$ is $2\%$ larger than $A_1$,we have $A_2 = A_1(1 + 0.02) = 1.02 A_1$,so $\frac{A_2}{A_1} = 1.02$.
Using the binomial approximation $(1 + x)^n \approx 1 + nx$ for small $x$:
$\frac{R_2}{R_1} = (1.02)^{1/3} = (1 + 0.02)^{1/3} \approx 1 + \frac{1}{3}(0.02) = 1 + 0.00666...$
Thus,$\frac{R_2}{R_1} \approx 1 + \frac{2}{300} = 1 + \frac{2}{3} \%$.
Therefore,$R_2$ is larger than $R_1$ by $\frac{2}{3} \%$.

Considering the Bohr's model of the hydrogen atom,the ratio of the velocities of electrons orbiting in the $4^{\text{th}}$ orbit to that in the $9^{\text{th}}$ orbit is:
A
$9$ : $4$
B
$3$ : $2$
C
$2$ : $3$
D
$4$ : $9$

Solution

(A) According to the Bohr model of the hydrogen atom,the velocity $V$ of an electron in the $n^{\text{th}}$ orbit is given by the relation $V_n = \frac{V_0}{n}$,where $V_0$ is a constant.
This implies that the velocity is inversely proportional to the principal quantum number $n$,i.e.,$V \propto \frac{1}{n}$.
To find the ratio of the velocity in the $4^{\text{th}}$ orbit $(V_4)$ to the velocity in the $9^{\text{th}}$ orbit $(V_9)$:
$\frac{V_4}{V_9} = \frac{1/4}{1/9} = \frac{9}{4}$.
Therefore,the ratio is $9 : 4$.

For the ground state,$n = 1$.
The first excited state is $n = 2$,the second excited state is $n = 3$,the third excited state is $n = 4$,and the fourth excited state is $n = 5$.

Solution

(C) Initial capacitance $C = \frac{\varepsilon_0 A}{d} = \frac{\varepsilon_0 \times 10 \times 10^{-4}}{3 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{\varepsilon_0}{3} \text{ F}$.
Initial charge $Q = CV = \frac{\varepsilon_0}{3} \times 12 = 4 \varepsilon_0 \text{ C}$.
Initial energy $U_i = \frac{Q^2}{2C} = \frac{(4 \varepsilon_0)^2}{2(\varepsilon_0/3)} = \frac{16 \varepsilon_0^2}{2 \varepsilon_0 / 3} = 24 \varepsilon_0 \text{ J}$.
After inserting the dielectric,the new capacitance $C' = KC = 3 \times \frac{\varepsilon_0}{3} = \varepsilon_0 \text{ F}$.
Since the battery is disconnected,the charge $Q$ remains constant.
Final energy $U_f = \frac{Q^2}{2C'} = \frac{(4 \varepsilon_0)^2}{2 \varepsilon_0} = \frac{16 \varepsilon_0^2}{2 \varepsilon_0} = 8 \varepsilon_0 \text{ J}$.
Work done $W = U_f - U_i = 8 \varepsilon_0 - 24 \varepsilon_0 = -16 \varepsilon_0 \text{ J}$.
The magnitude of work done on the system is $16 \varepsilon_0$. Thus,$\alpha = 16$.

Solution

(C) Initially,when the switch is thrown to the right,capacitor $C_1$ is connected to the $9 \ V$ battery. The charge on $C_1$ is given by $Q_0 = C_1 \times V = 1 \ \mu F \times 9 \ V = 9 \ \mu C$.
When the switch is thrown to the left,$C_1$ is connected in parallel with the series combination of $C_2$ and $C_3$. Let $Q$ be the final charge on $C_1$ and $q$ be the final charge on $C_2$ and $C_3$ (since they are in series,they have the same charge).
The potential difference across $C_1$ must be equal to the potential difference across the series combination of $C_2$ and $C_3$:
$\frac{Q}{C_1} = \frac{q}{C_2} + \frac{q}{C_3}$
Since $C_1 = C_2 = C_3 = 1 \ \mu F$,we have:
$\frac{Q}{1} = \frac{q}{1} + \frac{q}{1} \Rightarrow Q = 2q$.
By the law of conservation of charge,the total charge remains constant:
$Q + q = Q_0 = 9 \ \mu C$.
Substituting $Q = 2q$ into the equation:
$2q + q = 9 \ \mu C \Rightarrow 3q = 9 \ \mu C \Rightarrow q = 3 \ \mu C$.
Thus,the final charge on capacitor $C_2$ is $3 \ \mu C$.

Solution

(B) The frequencies of the side bands in amplitude modulation are given by the carrier frequency $\nu_c$ plus and minus the message signal frequency $f_m$.
Given: $f_m = 15 kHz$,Upper Side Band $(USB)$ $= 1515 kHz$,Lower Side Band $(LSB)$ $= 1485 kHz$.
The side bands are $\nu_c + f_m$ and $\nu_c - f_m$.
Therefore,$\nu_c + 15 kHz = 1515 kHz$ or $\nu_c - 15 kHz = 1485 kHz$.
Solving for $\nu_c$: $\nu_c = 1515 kHz - 15 kHz = 1500 kHz$.

Which of the following statements is $NOT$ true?
A
Power radiated from a linear antenna is directly proportional to the square of antenna length.
B
Power radiated decreases with increasing frequency.
C
Antenna should have a size comparable to the wavelength of the signal.
D
Effective power radiated by a long wavelength baseband signal is small.

Solution

(B) The power $P$ radiated by a linear antenna is given by the relation $P \propto \frac{l^2}{\lambda^2}$,where $l$ is the length of the antenna and $\lambda$ is the wavelength.
Since $P \propto l^2$,statement $A$ is true.
Since $\lambda = \frac{c}{f}$,we have $P \propto \frac{l^2}{(c/f)^2} \propto f^2$. This means power radiated increases with the square of the frequency.
Therefore,statement $B$ is false because it claims power decreases with increasing frequency.
For efficient radiation,the antenna size $l$ must be comparable to the wavelength $\lambda$ (typically $l \geq \frac{\lambda}{4}$),so statement $C$ is true.
Since long wavelength signals correspond to low frequencies,the radiated power $P \propto f^2$ is very small,making statement $D$ true.

Modulation index,$m = 80 \% = 0.8$
Formula:
$m = \frac{A_m}{A_c}$
Substituting the values:
$0.8 = \frac{A_m}{10 \,V}$
$A_m = 0.8 \times 10 \,V = 8 \,V$
Therefore,the peak voltage of the modulating signal should be $8 \,V$.

$m = \frac{A_{\max} - A_{\min}}{A_{\max} + A_{\min}}$
Given $m = 0.5$ and $A_{\max} = 10.0 \ V$.
Substituting the values into the formula:
$0.5 = \frac{10 - A_{\min}}{10 + A_{\min}}$
$0.5(10 + A_{\min}) = 10 - A_{\min}$
$5 + 0.5 A_{\min} = 10 - A_{\min}$
$1.5 A_{\min} = 5$

Given: $h = 40 \ m$ and $R = 6400 \ km = 6400 \times 10^3 \ m$.
The service area covered by the antenna is the area of a circle with radius $d$,given by: $Area = \pi d^2$.
Substituting the value of $d^2 = 2hR$ into the area formula:
$Area = \pi (2hR)$
$Area = \pi \times 2 \times 40 \times (6400 \times 10^3)$
$Area = \pi \times 80 \times 6400 \times 10^3$

D

Solution

(B) Let the potential at point $A$ be $V_A = 0 \ V$.
Moving from $A$ to $C$ through the $2 \ V$ battery,the potential at $C$ is $V_C = 0 + 2 = 2 \ V$.
Moving from $A$ to $B$ is not direct,but looking at the bottom branch,if we assume the potential at $B$ is $0 \ V$,then moving from $B$ to $D$ through the $2 \ V$ battery gives $V_D = 0 + 2 = 2 \ V$.
The potential difference across the first resistor $R$ is $V_{CD} = V_C - V_D = 2 \ V - 2 \ V = 0 \ V$.
Thus,the current $i_1 = \frac{V_{CD}}{R} = 0$.
Similarly,for the second branch,the potential at $E$ is $V_E = V_C + 2 - 2 = 2 \ V$ and the potential at $F$ is $V_F = V_D + 2 - 2 = 2 \ V$.
Thus,$V_{EF} = 0 \ V$,so $i_2 = 0$.
Finally,for the third branch,$V_G = V_E + 2 - 2 = 2 \ V$ and $V_H = V_F + 2 - 2 = 2 \ V$.
Thus,$V_{GH} = 0 \ V$,so $i_3 = 0$.

Substituting these values into the equation:
$\tau = \frac{9 \times 10^{-31}}{(9 \times 10^{28}) \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19})^2 \times (1 \times 10^{-8})}$

$\tau \approx 0.39 \times 10^{-13} \ s = 3.9 \times 10^{-14} \ s$

$A$ cylindrical resistor of radius $7.0 \, mm$ and length $4.0 \, cm$ is made of a material that has a resistivity of $10^{-6} \, \Omega \cdot m$. If the energy is dissipated at a rate of $1.54 \, W$ in the resistor, then the current density is:
A
$\frac{10^6}{\sqrt{\pi}} \, A/m^2$
B
$5 \times 10^5 \, A/m^2$
C
$\sqrt{\pi} \times 10^5 \, A/m^2$
D
$8.5 \times 10^4 \, A/m^2$

Solution

(B) The power dissipated in a resistor is given by $P = I^2 R$, where $I$ is the current and $R$ is the resistance.
Resistance $R$ is given by $R = \rho \frac{l}{A}$, where $\rho = 10^{-6} \, \Omega \cdot m$, $l = 0.04 \, m$, and $A = \pi r^2 = \pi (7 \times 10^{-3})^2 \, m^2$.
Substituting $R$ in the power equation: $P = I^2 \left( \frac{\rho l}{A} \right) \Rightarrow I = \sqrt{\frac{P A}{\rho l}}$.
Current density $J$ is defined as $J = \frac{I}{A}$.
Substituting $I$: $J = \frac{1}{A} \sqrt{\frac{P A}{\rho l}} = \sqrt{\frac{P}{\rho l A}}$.
Substituting the values: $J = \sqrt{\frac{1.54}{10^{-6} \times 0.04 \times \pi \times (7 \times 10^{-3})^2}}$.
$J = \sqrt{\frac{1.54}{10^{-6} \times 0.04 \times \pi \times 49 \times 10^{-6}}} = \sqrt{\frac{1.54}{1.96 \times 10^{-9} \times \pi}} \approx 5 \times 10^5 \, A/m^2$.

Statement $(I)$: The temperature coefficient of resistance for most metals in pure form is positive.
Statement $(II)$: $A$ metal wire $2 \ mm$ in diameter carries a charge of $360 \pi \ C$ in two hours. If the metal contains $5 \times 10^{22}$ free electrons $/ cm^3$, then the drift velocity of the electrons in the wire is $6.25 \times 10^{-6} \ m/s$.
Statement $(III)$: Semiconductors like pure germanium do not obey Ohm's law for all ranges of electric field values. Which of the following is correct?

B
Statements $I, II$ are true, but statement $III$ is false.
C
Statements $II, III$ are true, but statement $I$ is false.
D
Statements $I, II, III$ are false.

Solution

(A) Statement $(I)$: For most pure metals, the resistance increases with temperature, making the temperature coefficient of resistance positive. Thus, $(I)$ is true.
Statement $(II)$: Given diameter $d = 2 \ mm$, radius $r = 1 \ mm = 10^{-3} \ m$. Area $A = \pi r^2 = \pi \times (10^{-3})^2 = \pi \times 10^{-6} \ m^2$. Charge $q = 360 \pi \ C$, time $t = 2 \ hours = 7200 \ s$. Current $i = q/t = 360 \pi / 7200 = \pi / 20 \ A$. Electron density $n = 5 \times 10^{22} \ cm^{-3} = 5 \times 10^{28} \ m^{-3}$. Drift velocity $v_d = i / (neA) = (\pi / 20) / (5 \times 10^{28} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times \pi \times 10^{-6}) = 1 / (20 \times 5 \times 1.6 \times 10^3) = 1 / (160000) = 6.25 \times 10^{-6} \ m/s$. Thus, $(II)$ is true.
Statement $(III)$: Semiconductors are non-ohmic conductors; they do not follow a linear $V-I$ relationship for all electric field values. Thus, $(III)$ is true.

Find the mobility of an electron in a wire if its average collision time is $9.1 \times 10^{-15} \,s$. (Charge of electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$ and mass of electron $= 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \,kg$)
A
$9.1 \times 10^{-3} \,m^2/V \cdot s$
B

C
$1.75 \times 10^{-3} \,m^2/V \cdot s$
D
$1 \times 10^{-3} \,m^2/V \cdot s$

Solution

(B) The mobility $\mu$ of an electron is defined as the ratio of drift velocity $V_d$ to the electric field $E$,given by the formula: $\mu = \frac{V_d}{E} = \frac{e \tau}{m}$.
Given values are:
Charge of electron $e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C$
Mass of electron $m = 9.1 \times 10^{-31} \,kg$
Average collision time (relaxation time) $\tau = 9.1 \times 10^{-15} \,s$.
Substituting these values into the formula:
$\mu = \frac{(1.6 \times 10^{-19} \,C) \times (9.1 \times 10^{-15} \,s)}{9.1 \times 10^{-31} \,kg}$
$\mu = \frac{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 9.1 \times 10^{-15}}{9.1 \times 10^{-31}}$
$\mu = 1.6 \times 10^{-19 - 15 + 31} \,m^2/V \cdot s$
$\mu = 1.6 \times 10^{-3} \,m^2/V \cdot s$.

Balancing point of a potentiometer shifts from a length of $60 \ cm$ to $40 \ cm$ by shunting the cell with a $4 \ \Omega$ resistance. What is the internal resistance of the cell (in $Omega$)?
A
$1$
B
$2$
C
$4$
D
$6$

Solution

(B) Let the potential gradient of the potentiometer wire be $\alpha$.
In the first case,the cell is in an open circuit,so the balancing length $l_1 = 60 \ cm = 0.6 \ m$ corresponds to the $EMF$ $\varepsilon$ of the cell:
$\varepsilon = \alpha \times 0.6 \quad \dots(1)$
In the second case,the cell is shunted with an external resistance $R = 4 \ \Omega$. The terminal potential difference $V$ is balanced,where $V = \varepsilon - Ir = \varepsilon \left( \frac{R}{R+r} \right)$.
The new balancing length is $l_2 = 40 \ cm = 0.4 \ m$,so:
$V = \alpha \times 0.4 \quad \dots(2)$
Dividing equation $(2)$ by equation $(1)$:
$\frac{V}{\varepsilon} = \frac{\alpha \times 0.4}{\alpha \times 0.6} = \frac{2}{3}$
Since $\frac{V}{\varepsilon} = \frac{R}{R+r}$,we have:
$\frac{4}{4+r} = \frac{2}{3}$
$12 = 8 + 2r$
$2r = 4$
$r = 2 \ \Omega$
Thus,the internal resistance of the cell is $2 \ \Omega$.

$A$ metal wire of length $L$ and radius $r$ has a resistance $R$. If a wire of the same metal of length $2L$ and radius $3r$ is taken,then what will be its resistance?
A
$\frac{2}{9} R$
B
$\frac{2}{3} R$
C
$\frac{2}{9 \pi} R$
D
$\frac{2}{3 \pi} R$

Solution

(A) The resistance of a wire is given by the formula $R = \rho \frac{L}{A}$,where $\rho$ is the resistivity,$L$ is the length,and $A$ is the cross-sectional area.
Since the cross-section is circular,$A = \pi r^2$.
For the first wire: $R = \rho \frac{L}{\pi r^2} \quad (1)$
For the second wire: $L_2 = 2L$ and $r_2 = 3r$.
The new resistance $R_2 = \rho \frac{2L}{\pi (3r)^2} = \rho \frac{2L}{9 \pi r^2} \quad (2)$
Dividing equation $(2)$ by equation $(1)$:
$\frac{R_2}{R} = \frac{\rho \frac{2L}{9 \pi r^2}}{\rho \frac{L}{\pi r^2}} = \frac{2}{9}$
Therefore,$R_2 = \frac{2}{9} R$.

$A$ cylindrical metallic wire is stretched to increase its length in such a way that the metallic wire changes its resistance by $6\%$. The percentage increase in its length is (in $\%$)
A
$2$
B
$4$
C
$3$
D
$12$

Solution

(C) The resistance of a uniform wire is given by $R = \frac{\rho L}{A}$.
Since the volume $V = AL$ remains constant during stretching,we have $A = \frac{V}{L}$.
Substituting this into the resistance formula,we get $R = \frac{\rho L}{(V/L)} = \left(\frac{\rho}{V}\right) L^2$.
Since $\rho$ and $V$ are constant,$R \propto L^2$.
For small percentage changes,we can use the relation $\frac{\Delta R}{R} = 2 \frac{\Delta L}{L}$.
Given $\frac{\Delta R}{R} \times 100 = 6\%$,we substitute this into the equation:
$6\% = 2 \times \left(\frac{\Delta L}{L} \times 100\right)$.
Therefore,the percentage increase in length is $\frac{\Delta L}{L} \times 100 = \frac{6\%}{2} = 3\%$.

Statement $(II)$: $A$ wire of resistance $6 \ \Omega$ is drawn out so that its new length is four times its original length. The resistance of the new wire is $48 \ \Omega$.
Statement $(III)$: Drift velocity is the average constant velocity acquired by free electrons inside a metal by the application of an electric field,which results in current.
Which of the following is correct?
A
Statements $I, II$ and $III$ are true
B
Statement $I$ is true,but statements $II, III$ are false
C
Statement $III$ is true,but statements $I, II$ are false
D
Statements $II, III$ are true,but statement $I$ is false

Solution

(C) Specific resistance (resistivity) depends on both the temperature and the nature of the material. Therefore,Statement $(I)$ is incorrect.
When a wire is stretched to $n$ times its original length,its new resistance $R'$ becomes $n^2 R$. Here,$n = 4$ and $R = 6 \ \Omega$,so $R' = 4^2 \times 6 = 16 \times 6 = 96 \ \Omega$. Therefore,Statement $(II)$ is incorrect.
Drift velocity is defined as the average velocity with which free electrons get drifted in the direction opposite to the applied electric field. Therefore,Statement $(III)$ is correct.
Thus,only Statement $(III)$ is true.

Solution

(B) The total current $I$ flowing through the wire is given by the integral of current density $J$ over the cross-sectional area $A$: $I = \int J \, dA$.
Since the wire is circular,$dA = 2 \pi r \, dr$.
$I = \int_0^{R} J(r) \cdot 2 \pi r \, dr$,where $R = 2 \times 10^{-3} \text{ m}$.
$I = \int_0^{2 \times 10^{-3}} (10^5 r) \cdot (2 \pi r) \, dr = 2 \pi \times 10^5 \int_0^{2 \times 10^{-3}} r^2 \, dr$.
$I = 2 \pi \times 10^5 \left[ \frac{r^3}{3} \right]_0^{2 \times 10^{-3}} = 2 \pi \times 10^5 \times \frac{8 \times 10^{-9}}{3} = \frac{16 \pi}{3} \times 10^{-4} \text{ A}$.
The energy consumed $E$ is given by $E = V \cdot I \cdot t$.
$E = 70 \text{ V} \times \left( \frac{16 \pi}{3} \times 10^{-4} \text{ A} \right) \times 1000 \text{ s}$.
$E = 70 \times \frac{16 \pi}{3} \times 10^{-1} = \frac{1120 \pi}{30} = \frac{112}{3} \pi \approx 37.33 \pi \text{ J}$.

Solution

(B) The de-Broglie wavelength $\lambda$ of an electron accelerated through a potential difference $V$ is given by the formula:
$\lambda = \frac{h}{\sqrt{2meV}}$
Given:
$h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$
$m = 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$
$e = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$
$V = 121 \ V$
Substituting the values:
$\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 9 \times 10^{-31} \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 121}}$
$\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{3484.8 \times 10^{-50}}}$
$\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{59.03 \times 10^{-25}}$

C
$A$ particle of mass $0.01 \ kg$ moving with speed $100 \ m/s$
D
$A$ ball of mass $0.03 \ kg$ moving with speed $1 \ m/s$

Solution

(D) The de Broglie wavelength is given by the formula $\lambda = \frac{h}{mv}$,where $h$ is Planck's constant,$m$ is the mass,and $v$ is the velocity.
Since $\lambda \propto \frac{1}{mv}$,the particle with the smallest momentum $(mv)$ will have the largest de Broglie wavelength.
Calculating momentum $(p = mv)$ for each case:
$A$: $p = 0.02 \ kg \times 1000 \ m/s = 20 \ kg \cdot m/s$
$B$: $p = 0.06 \ kg \times 10 \ m/s = 0.6 \ kg \cdot m/s$
$C$: $p = 0.01 \ kg \times 100 \ m/s = 1 \ kg \cdot m/s$
$D$: $p = 0.03 \ kg \times 1 \ m/s = 0.03 \ kg \cdot m/s$
Comparing the values,the momentum in option $D$ is the smallest $(0.03 \ kg \cdot m/s)$.
Therefore,the ball in option $D$ has the largest de Broglie wavelength.

A
$3646$
B
$912$
C
$364.6$
D
$91.2$

Solution

(A) For the shortest wavelength in the Balmer series, the transition occurs from $n_{i} = \infty$ to $n_{f} = 2$.
Using the Rydberg formula: $\frac{1}{\lambda} = R_{H} \left( \frac{1}{n_{f}^2} - \frac{1}{n_{i}^2} \right)$.
Substituting the values: $\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.097 \times 10^7 \left( \frac{1}{2^2} - \frac{1}{\infty^2} \right)$.
$\frac{1}{\lambda} = 1.097 \times 10^7 \times \frac{1}{4} = 2742500 \ \text{m}^{-1}$.
$\lambda = \frac{1}{2742500} \ \text{m} \approx 3.646 \times 10^{-7} \ \text{m}$.
Converting to $\text{Å}$: $\lambda = 3.646 \times 10^{-7} \times 10^{10} \ \text{Å} = 3646 \ \text{Å}$.

A
Electromagnetic radiation is made up of particles called photons
B
Each photon moves with the speed of light
C
Photon energy is dependent on the intensity of radiation
D
Photons are not deflected by electric and magnetic field

Solution

(C) photon is a quantum of electromagnetic radiation. According to the quantum theory of light, the energy of a photon is given by $E = h\nu$, where $h$ is Planck's constant and $\nu$ is the frequency of the radiation.
Since the energy depends only on the frequency, statement $C$ is incorrect because it claims energy depends on intensity.
Photons are massless particles that travel at the speed of light $(c \approx 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s)$.
Because photons are electrically neutral, they do not experience any force in electric or magnetic fields, meaning they are not deflected by them.

A
$I$ and $II$ only
B
$II$ and $III$ only
C

D

Solution

(C) According to Einstein's photoelectric equation,the maximum kinetic energy $(K_{\max})$ of emitted photoelectrons is given by $K_{\max} = h\nu - \phi$,where $h$ is Planck's constant,$\nu$ is the frequency of incident light,and $\phi$ is the work function of the metal.
$1$. Statement $I$ is incorrect because $K_{\max}$ depends directly on the frequency $\nu$.
$2$. Statement $II$ is incorrect because the photoelectric effect depends on the frequency of light being greater than the threshold frequency $(\nu_0)$,regardless of intensity.
$3$. Statement $III$ is correct because $K_{\max}$ depends only on the frequency of incident light,not on its intensity.
$4$. Statement $IV$ is correct because as frequency $\nu$ increases,$K_{\max} = h\nu - \phi$ also increases.

A
$6.0 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$
B
$6.2 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$
C
$6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$
D
$6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$

Solution

(C) From Einstein's photoelectric equation,the stopping potential $V_s$ is related to the frequency $\nu$ as:
$e V_s = h \nu - \phi$
Rearranging for $V_s$,we get:
$V_s = \left( \frac{h}{e} \right) \nu - \frac{\phi}{e}$
This is a linear equation of the form $y = mx + c$,where the slope $m = \frac{h}{e}$.
Given that the slope is $4 \times 10^{-15} \ V \ s$,we have:
$\frac{h}{e} = 4 \times 10^{-15} \ V \ s$
$h = (4 \times 10^{-15} \ V \ s) \times (1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C)$
$h = 6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$
Thus,the value of Planck's constant is $6.4 \times 10^{-34} \ J \ s$.

A
$5.2$
B
$4.4$
C
$3.8$
D

Solution

(D) According to Einstein's photoelectric equation, the maximum kinetic energy $(K.E._{max})$ of the emitted electrons is given by:
$K.E._{max} = E - W$
where $E$ is the energy of the incident photon and $W$ is the work function of the metal.
The energy of the incident photon is:
$E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{1240 \, eV \cdot nm}{248 \, nm} = 5.0 \, eV$
The maximum kinetic energy is related to the stopping potential $(V_s)$ by:
$K.E._{max} = e V_s = 2.8 \, eV$
Substituting these values into the photoelectric equation:
$2.8 \, eV = 5.0 \, eV - W$
$W = 5.0 \, eV - 2.8 \, eV$
$W = 2.2 \, eV$
Thus, the work function of the metal is $2.2 \, eV$.

C

Solution

(B) The total power of the bulb is $P_{total} = 100 \ W$.
Since $20 \%$ of the power is converted to visible radiation,the power of visible radiation $P_{vis}$ is:
$P_{vis} = 100 \ W \times \frac{20}{100} = 20 \ W$.
The intensity $I$ of radiation emitted isotropically at a distance $r$ from a point source is given by the formula:
$I = \frac{P_{vis}}{4 \pi r^2}$.
Given $r = 5 \ m$,we substitute the values:
$I = \frac{20}{4 \pi \times (5)^2} = \frac{20}{4 \pi \times 25} = \frac{5}{25 \pi} \ W/m^2$.
Comparing this with the given expression $\frac{\alpha}{25 \pi} \ W/m^2$,we find that $\alpha = 5$.

Substituting the values:
$\lambda = \frac{6.0 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{2 \times 9.0 \times 10^{-31} \times 320 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}}$
$\lambda = \frac{6.0 \times 10^{-34}}{\sqrt{18 \times 10^{-31} \times 512 \times 10^{-19}}}$

Solution

(A) The photoelectric equation is given by $eV_S = \frac{hc}{\lambda} - \Phi$, where $\Phi = \frac{hc}{\lambda_0}$ is the work function of the metal.
Thus, the stopping potential is $V_S = \frac{hc}{e} \left( \frac{1}{\lambda} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right)$.
For the first wavelength $\lambda_1 = 200 \, nm$, the stopping potential is $V_{S1} = \frac{1240}{e} \left( \frac{1}{200} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right)$.
For the second wavelength $\lambda_2 = 400 \, nm$, the stopping potential is $V_{S2} = \frac{1240}{e} \left( \frac{1}{400} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right)$.
The decrease in stopping potential is $\Delta V_S = V_{S1} - V_{S2}$.
$\Delta V_S = \frac{1240}{e} \left( \frac{1}{200} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} - \left( \frac{1}{400} - \frac{1}{\lambda_0} \right) \right)$.
$\Delta V_S = \frac{1240}{e} \left( \frac{1}{200} - \frac{1}{400} \right) = \frac{1240}{e} \left( \frac{2-1}{400} \right) = \frac{1240}{400} = 3.1 \, V$.

Statement $(I)$ : By increasing the potential difference between cathode and anode continuously in a photoelectric experiment,the photocurrent always increases continuously.
Statement $(II)$ : If two photons $A$ and $B$ of energies $2.5 \ eV$ and $3.5 \ eV$ respectively fall on a metal surface of work function $2.0 \ eV$,then the ratio of maximum kinetic energies emitted between $A$ and $B$ is $3$.
Statement $(III)$ : The maximum energy needed by an electron to come out from metal surface is called the work function of the metal.
Which of the following is correct?
A
Statements $I, II$ and $III$ are true
B
Statements $I, II$ are true,but statement $III$ is false
C
Statements $II, III$ are true,but statement $I$ is false
D
Statements $I, II$ and $III$ are false

Solution

(D) Statement $(I)$ is incorrect because the photocurrent increases with potential difference only until it reaches a saturation value,after which it remains constant.
Statement $(II)$ is incorrect because the maximum kinetic energy is given by $K_{max} = E - \phi$. For photon $A$,$K_A = 2.5 \ eV - 2.0 \ eV = 0.5 \ eV$. For photon $B$,$K_B = 3.5 \ eV - 2.0 \ eV = 1.5 \ eV$. The ratio $K_A / K_B = 0.5 / 1.5 = 1/3$,not $3$.
Statement $(III)$ is incorrect because the work function is defined as the $MINIMUM$ energy required to eject an electron from the metal surface,not the maximum.

$A$ lamp of power $942 \ W$ radiates energy uniformly in all directions. The wavelength of radiation is $660 \ nm$. The photon flux on a small screen $5.0 \ m$ from the lamp in units of $\frac{\text{photon}}{m^2 \cdot s}$ is (Take Planck's constant $h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34} \ J \cdot s$ and speed of light $c = 3 \times 10^8 \ m/s$)
A
$5 \times 10^{20}$
B
$2 \pi \times 10^{19}$
C
$\frac{6}{\pi} \times 10^{18}$
D
$4 \times 10^{19}$

Solution

(D) The intensity $I$ at a distance $r = 5 \ m$ from the source is given by $I = \frac{P}{4 \pi r^2}$.
Substituting the values: $I = \frac{942}{4 \times 3.14 \times 5^2} = \frac{942}{12.56 \times 25} = \frac{942}{314} = 3 \ W/m^2$.
The energy of a single photon is $E = \frac{hc}{\lambda} = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34} \times 3 \times 10^8}{660 \times 10^{-9}} = \frac{19.8 \times 10^{-26}}{6.6 \times 10^{-7}} = 3 \times 10^{-19} \ J$.
The photon flux $\phi$ is the number of photons per unit area per unit time,given by $\phi = \frac{I}{E}$.
$\phi = \frac{3}{3 \times 10^{-19}} = 1 \times 10^{19} \ \frac{\text{photon}}{m^2 \cdot s}$.

When monochromatic light falls on a photo-sensitive metal,an electron is emitted with maximum velocity $1.6 \times 10^6 \ m/s$. Find the stopping potential.
[charge of electron $= 1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C$,mass of electron $= 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$] (in $V$)
A
$7.2$
B
$14.4$
C
$21.6$
D
$28.8$

Solution

(A) The maximum kinetic energy $(K.E.)_{\max}$ of the emitted electron is given by the formula:
$(K.E.)_{\max} = \frac{1}{2} m v_{\max}^2$
Given $m = 9 \times 10^{-31} \ kg$ and $v_{\max} = 1.6 \times 10^6 \ m/s$,we have:
$(K.E.)_{\max} = \frac{1}{2} \times (9 \times 10^{-31}) \times (1.6 \times 10^6)^2$
$(K.E.)_{\max} = 0.5 \times 9 \times 10^{-31} \times 2.56 \times 10^{12}$
$(K.E.)_{\max} = 11.52 \times 10^{-19} \ J$
The stopping potential $V_s$ is related to the maximum kinetic energy by the equation:
$e V_s = (K.E.)_{\max}$
$V_s = \frac{(K.E.)_{\max}}{e} = \frac{11.52 \times 10^{-19} \ J}{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C}$
$V_s = 7.2 \ V$
Therefore,the correct option is $A$.

$A$ long solenoid has $20$ turns per cm. $A$ small loop of area $\frac{4}{\pi} \text{ cm}^2$ is placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current carried by the solenoid changes steadily from $1.0 \text{ A}$ to $3.0 \text{ A}$ in $0.2 \text{ s}$,what is the magnitude of the induced emf in the loop while the current is changing (in $\mu \text{V}$)?
A
$2.4$
B
$3.2$
C
$7.2$
D
$4.8$

Solution

(B) The magnetic field $B$ inside a long solenoid is given by $B = \mu_0 n I$,where $n$ is the number of turns per unit length.
Given $n = 20 \text{ turns/cm} = 2000 \text{ turns/m}$.
$B = (4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T m/A}) \times (2000 \text{ m}^{-1}) \times I = 8\pi \times 10^{-4} I \text{ T}$.
The magnetic flux $\phi$ through the loop of area $A = \frac{4}{\pi} \text{ cm}^2 = \frac{4}{\pi} \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2$ is $\phi = B \cdot A$.
The induced emf $\varepsilon$ is given by Faraday's Law: $\varepsilon = \left| \frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t} \right| = A \left| \frac{\Delta B}{\Delta t} \right| = A \mu_0 n \left| \frac{\Delta I}{\Delta t} \right|$.
Substituting the values: $\Delta I = 3.0 \text{ A} - 1.0 \text{ A} = 2.0 \text{ A}$,$\Delta t = 0.2 \text{ s}$.
$\varepsilon = \left( \frac{4}{\pi} \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2 \right) \times (4\pi \times 10^{-7} \text{ T m/A}) \times (2000 \text{ m}^{-1}) \times \left( \frac{2.0 \text{ A}}{0.2 \text{ s}} \right)$.
$\varepsilon = (4 \times 10^{-4}) \times (4 \times 10^{-7}) \times (2000) \times (10) \text{ V}$.
$\varepsilon = 32 \times 10^{-7} \text{ V} = 3.2 \times 10^{-6} \text{ V} = 3.2 \mu \text{V}$.

$A$ flat circular coil has $100$ turns of wire of radius $10 \ cm$. $A$ uniform magnetic field exists in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the coil and it grows at a rate of $0.1 \ T \ s^{-1}$. The induced emf in the coil is:
A
$\pi \ V$
B
$10 \pi \ V$
C
$\frac{\pi}{10} \ V$
D
$2 \pi \ V$

Solution

(C) According to Faraday's Law of Electromagnetic Induction,the induced electromotive force $(EMF)$ in a coil is given by the rate of change of magnetic flux linkage.
$|\varepsilon| = N \left| \frac{d\phi}{dt} \right| = N A \left| \frac{dB}{dt} \right|$
Given:
Number of turns $N = 100$
Radius $r = 10 \ cm = 0.1 \ m$
Area $A = \pi r^2 = \pi \times (0.1)^2 = 0.01 \pi \ m^2$
Rate of change of magnetic field $\frac{dB}{dt} = 0.1 \ T \ s^{-1}$
Substituting the values:
$|\varepsilon| = 100 \times (0.01 \pi) \times 0.1$
$|\varepsilon| = 1 \times 0.1 \pi = 0.1 \pi \ V = \frac{\pi}{10} \ V$

Calculate the magnetic flux through the triangular loop shown in the figure. $A$ uniform magnetic field of strength $2 \text{ T}$ points perpendicularly into the plane of the triangle.

A
$10^{-4} \text{ Wb}$
B
$2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ Wb}$
C
$1 \text{ Wb}$
D
$2 \text{ Wb}$

Solution

(B) The magnetic flux $\phi$ is given by the formula $\phi = \vec{B} \cdot \vec{A} = BA \cos \theta$.
Here,the magnetic field $B = 2 \text{ T}$ is perpendicular to the area,so the angle $\theta = 0^{\circ}$ and $\cos 0^{\circ} = 1$.
The area $A$ of the right-angled triangle is $\frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height}$.
Given base $= 2 \text{ cm} = 2 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$ and height $= 1 \text{ cm} = 1 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}$.
$A = \frac{1}{2} \times (2 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}) \times (1 \times 10^{-2} \text{ m}) = 1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2$.
Now,calculating the flux: $\phi = 2 \text{ T} \times (1 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}^2) \times 1 = 2 \times 10^{-4} \text{ Wb}$.

$A$ wire loop of area $0.2 \, m^2$ has a resistance of $20 \, \Omega$. $A$ magnetic field pointing normal to the loop has a magnitude of $0.25 \, T$ and is reduced to zero at a uniform rate in $10^{-4} \, s$. What is the induced emf and the resulting current?
A
$50 \, V, 2.5 \, A$
B
$500 \, V, 25 \, A$
C
$250 \, V, 12.5 \, A$
D
$500 \, V, 2.5 \, A$

Solution

(B) The induced emf $\varepsilon$ is given by Faraday's law of induction: $|\varepsilon| = |\frac{d\phi}{dt}| = |\frac{d(B \cdot A)}{dt}|$.
Since the area $A$ is constant,$|\varepsilon| = A \cdot |\frac{dB}{dt}|$.
Given $A = 0.2 \, m^2$,initial $B = 0.25 \, T$,final $B = 0 \, T$,and $\Delta t = 10^{-4} \, s$.
$|\varepsilon| = 0.2 \cdot \frac{0.25 - 0}{10^{-4}} = 0.2 \cdot 2500 = 500 \, V$.
The induced current $I$ is given by Ohm's law: $I = \frac{\varepsilon}{R}$.
Given $R = 20 \, \Omega$,$I = \frac{500}{20} = 25 \, A$.

$A$ metal disc of radius $30 \ cm$ rotates with a constant angular velocity $\omega = 100 \ rad/s$ about its axis. Find the magnitude of the potential difference between the centre and the rim of the disc if an external uniform magnetic field of induction $B = 4 \ mT$ is directed perpendicular to the disc. (in $mV$)
A
$15$
B
$18$
C
$22$
D
$20$

Solution

(B) Consider a small radial element of length $dr$ at a distance $r$ from the centre of the disc. As the disc rotates,this element moves perpendicular to the magnetic field $B$.
The motional electromotive force $(de)$ induced across this small element is given by $de = Bv \cdot dr$,where $v = r\omega$.
Substituting $v$,we get $de = B(r\omega)dr$.
To find the total potential difference $(e)$ between the centre $(r=0)$ and the rim $(r=R)$,we integrate the expression:
$e = \int_0^R B\omega r \, dr = B\omega \left[ \frac{r^2}{2} \right]_0^R = \frac{1}{2} B\omega R^2$.
Given values: $B = 4 \ mT = 4 \times 10^{-3} \ T$,$\omega = 100 \ rad/s$,and $R = 30 \ cm = 0.3 \ m$.
Substituting these values:
$e = \frac{1}{2} \times (4 \times 10^{-3}) \times 100 \times (0.3)^2$
$e = 2 \times 10^{-3} \times 100 \times 0.09$
$e = 0.2 \times 0.09 = 0.018 \ V = 18 \ mV$.

$A$ $2 \mu F$ capacitor is charged to $50 V$ by a battery. The battery is removed after the capacitor is fully charged. At time $t=0$,a $10 mH$ coil is connected in series with the capacitor. The maximum rate at which the current changes in the circuit is (in $A s^{-1}$)
A
$2000$
B
$5000$
C
$2500$
D
$10000$

Solution

(B) The capacitor is charged to a potential difference of $V = 50 \ V$. When the battery is removed and the capacitor is connected to the inductor,the circuit forms an $LC$ oscillator.
At $t=0$,the charge on the capacitor is maximum,so the potential difference across it is $V_{max} = 50 \ V$.
The voltage across the inductor is given by $V_L = L \frac{dI}{dt}$.
In an $LC$ circuit,the sum of potential differences is zero: $V_C + V_L = 0$,which implies $|V_L| = |V_C|$.
At $t=0$,the current $I=0$,so the entire potential of the capacitor appears across the inductor.
Thus,$L \left( \frac{dI}{dt} \right)_{max} = V_{max}$.
Given $L = 10 \ mH = 10 \times 10^{-3} \ H$ and $V_{max} = 50 \ V$.
$\left( \frac{dI}{dt} \right)_{max} = \frac{50}{10 \times 10^{-3}} = \frac{50}{0.01} = 5000 \ A s^{-1}$.
