  • Question 1
    4 / -1

    A satellite revolves in a circular orbit around a planet of radius R. The percentage increase in energy required to lift the satellite to an orbit of radius 5R from an orbit of radius 3R is:

    Solution

    Given that:

    The satellite is shifted from an orbit of radius 3R to 5R.

    Let TE1 and TE2 be the energy of the satellite in the orbit of radius 3R and 5R respectively.

    \(T E_{1}=-\frac{G m M}{2(3 R)}\) and \(T E_{2}=-\frac{G m M}{2(5 R)}\)

    Change in energy, ΔTE = TE2 - TE1

    \(\Rightarrow \Delta T E=-\frac{G m M}{2(5 R)}-\left(-\frac{G m M}{2(3 R)}\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow \Delta T E=\frac{1}{15}\left(\frac{G m M}{R}\right)\)

    Percentage increase \(=\frac{\Delta T E}{T E_{1}} \times 100\)

    \(= \frac{\frac{1}{15}\left(\frac{G m M}{R}\right)}{\frac{G m M}{2(3 R)}} \times 100\)

    \(= \frac{\frac{1}{15}}{\frac{1}{6}} \times 100\)

    \(= 40 \%\)

  • Question 2
    4 / -1

    If the product of 'muscular strength' and speed is equal to dimensions of power, then the dimensions of 'muscular strength' is:

    Solution

    Power is defined as the work done per unit time.

    • Dimensions of work done = Force × displacement = [M1L1T-2] × [L1] = [M1L2T-2]
    • Dimensions of time = [T1]
    • Thus, the dimensions of power = [M1L2T-2] × [T1]-1 = [M1L2T-3]

    ​Dimensions of speed = [M0L1T-1]

    ⇒ Muscular strength × Speed = Power

    ⇒ Muscular strength × [M0L1T-1] = [M1L2T-3]

    ⇒ Muscular strength = [M1L1T-2]

  • Question 3
    4 / -1

    The dependence of magnetic susceptibility χ with temperature for a diamagnetic substance is represented by which of the following?

    Solution

    The given sample is diamagnet and hence it has a magnetic susceptibility χ < 0 i.e. negative.

    A change in temperature can only affect the random thermal motion of the atom.

    • Since each atom of a diamagnetic substance has zero magnetic dipole moment, the temperature cannot affect the net magnetic moment in any way.
    • Thus, diamagnetic substances are independent of temperature.
    • Therefore, magnetic susceptibility remains constant irrespective of the temperature.

    ​So, option (B) depicts the correct dependence of magnetic susceptibility χ with temperature.

  • Question 4
    4 / -1

    The pressure of an ideal gas undergoing isothermal change is increased by \(10 \%\). The volume of the gas must decrease by about:

    Solution

    Here isothermal process is given,

    Temperature \(( T )=\) constant

    \(PV = n R T =\) constant

    \(P _{1} V _{1}= P _{2} V _{2} \quad \ldots\) (1)

    Where, \(P _{1}\) is initial pressure, \(P _{2}\) is final pressure, \(V _{1}\) is initial volume and \(V _{2}\) is final pressure.

    Since, pressure is increased by \(10 \%\)

    Final pressure \(\left(P_{2}\right)=P+P \times 10 \%=1.1 P\)

    Use equation (1);

    \(P _{1} V _{1}= P _{2} V _{2}\)

    \(P \times V _{1}=1.1 P \times V _{2}\)

    \(V _{2}= \frac{V _{1}}{1.1}=\frac{10 V_{1} }{11}\)

    Decrease in volume \((\Delta V )= V _{1}- V _{2}= V_{1} -\frac{10 V_{1}}{11}= \frac{V_{1}}{11}\)

    \(\%\) Decrease in volume \(=\frac{\Delta V}{V_{1}} \times 100=\frac{V_{1}}{11 V_{1}} \times 100=9.09 \approx 9 \%\)

  • Question 5
    4 / -1

    Which of the following metals will exhibit a photoelectric effect most easily?

    Solution

    Sodium, lithium, and magnesium are electropositive and they also lose electrons easily but their reactivity is much less than Caesium.

    Cesium is the most electropositive element of all so it has the minimum ionization energy and so contains the maximum capacity to lose electrons.

  • Question 6
    4 / -1

    The conservation of linear momentum can be understood by which of the following laws?

    Solution

    Newton’s law of gravitation gives the force between two mass particles separated by some distance. So option (A) does not follow.

    Newton’s first law of motion, an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. So option (B) does not follow.

    According to Newton’s second law of motion:

    Force \((F)=\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}\)

    If there is no external force then, F = 0

    Force \((F)=\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}=0\)

    \(\frac{\Delta P}{\Delta t}=\frac{P_{1}-P_{2}}{\Delta t}=0\)

    \(\left({P}_{1}-{P}_{2}\right)=0\)

    • P1 = P2 Hence the initial momentum is equal to final momentum if there is no external force on the system. So this is the law of the conservation of linear momentum. So it explains the conservation of momentum.
    • Newton’s third law of motion states that for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. It also explains the conservation of momentum.
  • Question 7
    4 / -1

    The heat given to an ideal gas in isothermal conditions is used to:

    Solution

    When a thermodynamic system undergoes a physical change in such a way that its temperature remains constant, then the change is known as an isothermal process.

    As we know that, the internal energy of the system is a function of temperature alone, so in the isothermal process, the change in internal energy is zero.

    ⇒ ΔQ = 0 + ΔW = ΔW

    Therefore, the heat given to an ideal gas in isothermal conditions is used to do external work.

  • Question 8
    4 / -1

    With ‘p’ for proton and 'n’ for neutron, the nuclear forces have strengths in the order

    Solution

    With ‘p’ for proton and 'n’ for neutron, the nuclear forces have strengths in n - n = p - p = p - n.

    Nucleons in the nucleus of an atom are bonded together by a strong force of attraction called nuclear force. The nuclear force is short-ranged force that acts when nucleons are at distance in the range of fermi (1 fermi = 10 -15 m). It acts between proton-proton, proton - neutron, and neutron - neutron. 

  • Question 9
    4 / -1

    In vacuum an electron of energy 10 keV hits tungeston target, then emitted radiation will be:

    Solution

    In vacuum an electron of energy 10 keV hits tungeston target, then emitted radiation will be X-rays.

    X-Rays: X-rays are powerful waves of electromagnetic energy.

    • Most of them have a wavelength ranging from 0.01 to 10 nanometres, corresponding to frequencies in the range of 30 petahertz to 30 exahertz.
    • The energies of X-Rays are in the range of 100 eV to 100 keV.
    • X-rays are produced when high-velocity electrons collide with the metal plates, thereby giving the energy as the X-Rays and the electrons get absorbed by the metal plate.
  • Question 10
    4 / -1

    The size of a simple pendulum is kept very small (point mass) because:

    Solution

    Simple pendulum:

    • When a point mass is attached to an inextensible string and suspended from fixed support then it is called a simple pendulum.
    • The time period of a simple pendulum is defined as the time taken by the pendulum to finish one complete oscillation.

    \(\Rightarrow T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\)

    • The above formula is only valid for small angular displacements.

    Where, T = Time period of oscillation, l = length of the pendulum, and g = gravitational acceleration

    • The amplitude of a simple pendulum is defined as the maximum distance traveled by the pendulum from the equilibrium position to one side.
    • The length of a simple pendulum is defined as the distance between the point of suspension to the center of the bob.

    According to the definition of the simple pendulum, the bob must be a point mass. So statement (B) is correct.

    If the size of the bob will be more then more surface area will be exposed in the air and more resistance will act which will alter the time period of the pendulum. So statement (A) is correct.

    Due to the large size, the net distance between the point of the hanging of the pendulum and the center of the bob will increase. This length is called an effective length.

    This increase in the effective length of the pendulum will affect the time period. So, statement (C) is correct. So option (D) is correct.

  • Question 11
    4 / -1

    If a wire in the circuit is replaced with a wire of resistivity four times and the length and cross-sectional area is the same. Then the current in the circuit will become:

    Solution

    Given: \(I_{1}=I_{2}=1, A_{1}=A_{2}=A\) and \(\rho_{2}=4 \rho_{1}\)

    For case (i), \(\left(\rho_{1}=\rho\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow R_{1}=\frac{\rho l}{A}\) .....(i)

    The current in the circuit,

    \(\Rightarrow I_{1}=\frac{V}{R_{1}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow I_{1}=\frac{V A}{\rho l}\) .....(ii)

    For case (ii), \(\left(\rho_{2}=4 \rho\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow R_{2}=\frac{4 \rho l}{A}\) .....(iii)

    The current in the circuit

    \(\Rightarrow I_{2}=\frac{V}{R_{2}}\)

    \(\Rightarrow I_{2}=\frac{V A}{4 \rho l}\) .....(iv)

    By equation (ii) and equation (iv),

    \(\Rightarrow I_{2}=\frac{I_{1}}{4}\)

  • Question 12
    4 / -1

    If the frequency of the side bands of a modulated signal are 1020 kHz and 980 kHz, then find the frequency of the carrier wave.

    Solution

    Given fc + fm = 1020 kHz and fc - fm = 980 kHz

    Where fc = frequency of the carrier wave and fm = frequency of the modulating signal

    • We know that that (fc + fm) and (fc - fm) are the sidebands of a modulated signal.
    • Therefore by adding the two sidebands,

    ⇒ (fc + fm) + (fc - fm) = (1020 + 980) kHz

    ⇒ 2fc = 2000 kHz

    ⇒ fc = 1000 kHz

    ⇒ fc = 1 MHz

  • Question 13
    4 / -1

    A dielectric is placed in an electric field E.

    Solution

    Dielectrics are non-conducting substances. They do not contain free electrons.

    • When a dielectric is placed in an external electric field, its molecules align themselves in such a way that charges are induced on the surfaces of the dielectric with having charge density σp, and thus an electric field is created inside the dielectric.
    • This induced electric field Ein has a value less than that of the external electric field. (Option (A), (B) and (C) are wrong.)

    Both these fields have opposite directions.

    Therefore the magnitude of the net electric field inside a dielectric is less than that of the external electric field.

    The direction of the net electric field inside the dielectric is the same as that of the external electric field. Therefore option (D) is correct.

  • Question 14
    4 / -1

    A shell of mass 200 g is ejected from a gun of mass 4 kg by an explosion that generates 1.05 kJ of energy. The initial velocity of the shell is:

    Solution

    Given mass of shell m1 = 200gm = 0.2Kg

    Let its velocity after firing be v1

    mass of Gun m2 = 4kg

    its velocity after firing be v2

    Momentum before firing = 0

    Momentum after firing m1v1 + m2v2.

    By Conservation of Momentum

    m1v1 + m2v2 = 0

    \(\Rightarrow v_{2}=\frac{m_{1} v_{1}}{m_{2}}\) .....(i)

    The energy is conserved. So, the total Kinetic Energy of Gun and bullet is conserved and is equal to 1.04kJ.

    \(\frac{1}{2} m_{1}\left(v_{1}\right)^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m_{2}\left(v_{2}\right)^{2}=1.05 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~J}\) .....(ii)

    Putting Eq (i) in Eq (ii) we get

    \(\frac{1}{2} m_{1}\left(v_{1}\right)^{2}+\frac{1}{2} m_{2}\left(\frac{m_{1} v_{1}}{m_{2}}\right)^{2}=1050\)

    Putting the values of m1 and m2 we get

    \(\frac{1}{2} 0.2\left(v_{1}\right)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{0.2 v_{1}}{2}\right)^{2}=1050\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{v_{1}^{2}}{10}+\frac{v_{1}^{2}}{200}=1050\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{20 v_{1}^{2}+v_{1}^{2}}{200}=1050\)

    \(\Rightarrow v_{1}^{2}=\frac{1050 \times 200}{21}\)

    ⇒ v1 = around 100 m/s

    So, speed of shell is 100 m/s.

  • Question 15
    4 / -1

    Consider the following statement for a circular conductor moving in and out of the magnetic field:

    1. The polarity of induced motional EMF is such that it supports the change in magnetic flux responsible for its production.
    2. Magnetic flux is independent of the area of the circular conductor.
    3. If the coil is cut somewhere and then moved in and out of the magnetic field, EMF will be generated.
    4. The basic cause of induced emf is the change in magnetic flux.

    Which of the following statements are correct?

    Solution

    According to Lenz law, the polarity of induced EMF is such that it opposes the change in magnetic flux responsible for its production.

    Magnetic flux depends on the area of the circular conductor. The magnetic flux (ϕ) enclosed by the circular loop can be given as ϕ = B × Area

    If the coil is cut somewhere and then moved in and out of the magnetic field, EMF will be generated.

    The basic cause of induced emf is the change in magnetic flux.

    When a conductor is moved in and out of the magnetic field, magnetic flux across it changes. this causes the generation of EMF in the direction such that it opposes the change.
