  • Question 1
    3 / -1

    The electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetic waves are:

    Solution

    The electric and magnetic fields in electromagnetic waves are perpendicular to the wave's direction of travel, and also perpendicular to each other.

    We know that,

    The electric field is always perpendicular to the magnetic field, and both fields are directed at right-angles to the direction of propagation of the wave.

    The wave propagates in the direction \({E} \times {B}\). Electromagnetic waves are a type of transverse wave.

    In electromagnetic waves, the electric field is always perpendicular to the magnetic field and both fields are directed at right –angles to the direction of propagation of the wave.

  • Question 2
    3 / -1

    A reflecting surface is represented by the equation \({y}=\frac{2 {~L}}{\pi} \sin \left(\frac{\pi {x}}{{L}}\right), 0 \leq {x} \leq {L}\). A ray travelling horizontal becomes vertical after reflection. The co-ordinates of the point \((\mathrm{s})\) on which this ray is incident.

    Solution

    Consider the diagram for reflection at general point A shown below.

    As the Incident ray is horizontal 0 deg, and reacted ray is vertical 90 deg.

    So the slope at point of reaction should be \(\frac{90-0} { 2}=45^{\circ}\)

    The derivative of equation of mirror surface, we get:

    \(y=\frac{2 L}{\pi} \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{L} x\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{d y}{d x}=\frac{2 L}{\pi} \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{L} x\right) \times \frac{\pi}{L}\)

    And,

    \(I=2 \cos \left(\frac{\pi}{L} x\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow\frac{\pi x}{L}=\frac{\pi}{3}\)

    Therefore,

    \(y=\frac{2 L}{\pi} \sin \left(\frac{\pi}{L} \times \frac{L}{3}\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow\frac{2 L}{\pi} \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\)

    \(\Rightarrow\frac{\sqrt{3} L}{\pi}\)

    Therefore, the point is \(\left(\frac{L}{3}, \frac{\sqrt{3} L}{\pi}\right) .\)

  • Question 3
    3 / -1

    An electromagnetic wave has a frequency

    \(v=\frac{6}{\pi} \times 10^{10} \mathrm{Hz}\)

    It is propagating in space along positive 'x' direction. Then acceptable form of magnetic field associated with it is-

    Solution

    Electric and magnetic field both will be perpendicular to each other and both will also be perpendicular to direction of propagation of wave.

    Let

    \(\overrightarrow{\mathbf{E}}=\mathbf{E}_{0} \cos (\mathrm{kx}-\omega \mathrm{t}) \hat{\mathbf{j}}\)

    \(\vec{B}=\mathrm{B}_{0} \cos (\mathrm{kx}-\omega \mathrm{t}) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\)

    Now,

    \(\overrightarrow{\mathrm{E}}=\overrightarrow{\mathrm{B}} \times \overline{\mathrm{C}} \quad\left(\begin{array}{l}\overrightarrow{\mathrm{C}} \rightarrow \text { direction of }^{\prime} \mathrm{Cis} \\ \text { propagation direction }\end{array}\right)\)

    and \(C=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}}}\)

    So \(, \overline{\mathrm{E}}=\mathrm{E}_{0} \cos \left(\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda} \mathrm{x}-2 \pi \mathrm{v} \mathrm{t}\right) \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)

    \(v=\frac{6}{\pi} \times 10^{10} \Rightarrow 2 \pi v=12 \times 10^{10}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \lambda=\frac{C}{v}=\frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{6 / \pi \times 10^{10}}\)

    \(\frac{2 \pi}{\lambda}=\frac{2 \pi \times 6 \times 10^{10}}{\pi \times 3 \times 10^{8}}=4 \times 10^{2}\)

    \(\vec{E}=\mathrm{E}_{0} \cos \left(\left(4 \times 10^{2}\right) \mathrm{x}-\left(12 \times 10^{10}\right) \mathrm{t}\right) \hat{\mathrm{j}}\)

    \(\vec{B}=\mathrm{E}_{0} \sqrt{\mu_{0} \varepsilon_{0}} \cos \left(\left(4 \times 10^{2}\right) \mathrm{x}-\left(12 \times 10^{10}\right) \mathrm{t}\right) \hat{\mathrm{k}}\)

    Hence, The correct answer is A.

  • Question 4
    3 / -1

    Assume that the nuclear binding energy per nucleon (B/A) versus mass number (A) is as shown in the figure. Use this plot to choose the correct answer(s) from the choices given below.

    Solution

    Let us examine the four alternatives separately.

    (1) for 1 < A < 50, on fusion mass number of the resulting nucleus will be less than 100.

    (2) For 51 < A < 100, on fusion mass number the resulting nucleus is between 100 and 200. B/A increases, energy will be released.

    (3) On fission for 100 < A < 200, the mass number for fission nuclei will be between 50 to 100. B/A decreases, no energy will be released.

    (4) On fission for 200 < A < 260, the mass number for fission nuclei will be between 100 to 130, B/A will increases, energy will be released.

    Hence options D is correct answers.

  • Question 5
    3 / -1

    The potential energy function of a particle moving in one dimension is \(U=k\left[x-\frac{x^{3}}{3 a^{2}}\right],\) where \(a\) and \(k\) are constants. Then,

    Solution

    Force corresponding to potential energy is, \(F=-\frac{d U}{d x}=-k\left[1-\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}\right]\)

    For equilibrium, \(\mathrm{F}=0 .\) Therefore

    \(1-\frac{x^{2}}{a^{2}}=0\)

    \(x=\pm a\)

    For stable equilibrium,

    \(\frac{d^{2} U}{d x^{2}}>0\)

    \(\frac{d^{2} U}{d x^{2}}=-\frac{2 x}{a^{2}}\)

    \(\left.\frac{d^{2} U}{d x^{2}}\right|_{a+x=+a}=-\frac{2}{a}<0,\) so unstable

    \(\left.\frac{d^{2} U}{d x^{2}}\right|_{\text {at } x=-a}=\frac{2}{a}>0,\) so stable

    Potential energy at \(\mathrm{x}=-\mathrm{a}\) is

    \(U=k\left[-a+\frac{a^{3}}{3 a^{2}}\right]=-\frac{2 k a}{3}\)

    Hence, this is the required solution.

    Hence options D is correct answers.

  • Question 6
    3 / -1

    In a series ‘LCR’ circuit resistance is 60Ω and it has resonant frequency 2000 radian/second. At resonance, the voltage across resistance and inductor is 30 volt and 20 volt respectively. Capacitance of capacitor in the RLC circuit is—

    Solution

    At resonance RLC circuit become pure resistive circuit and current in the circuit is given by\(\mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{v}_{\mathrm{R}}}{\mathrm{R}}\left\{\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{R}}=\text { potential difference } \\ \text { across resistor }\end{array}\right.\)

    \(\mathrm{i}=\frac{30}{60}=0.5 \mathrm{Ampere}\)

    Also

    Potential drop across inductor

    \(V_{L}=i X_{L}\)

    \(V_{L}=i \omega L\)

    \(\Rightarrow L=\frac{V_{L}}{i \omega}=\frac{20}{0.5 \times 2000}=20 \mathrm{mH}\)

    At resonance,

    \(\omega L=\frac{1}{\omega C}\)

    \(\Rightarrow C=\frac{1}{\omega^{2} L}\)

    \(=\frac{1}{(2000)^{2} \times\left(20 \times 10^{-3}\right)}\)

    \(=12.5 \mu \mathrm{F}\)

    Hence, The correct answer is D.

  • Question 7
    3 / -1

    A capacitor and an inductor is connected in series with an ac source in a circuit. If the capacitance of the capacitor is \(18 \mu {F}\) and the inductance of the inductor is \(8 {H}\) then find the resonance frequency of the circuit.

    Solution

    We know that,

    Resonance frequency: The frequency of an AC circuit at which the impedance of the circuit becomes minimum or current in the circuit becomes maximum is called resonance frequency.


    The resonance frequency is given by:

    \(f=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}}\)

    Where \(L\) is inductance and \(C\) is the capacitance of the circuit.

    Given that:

    Capacitance \((C)=18 \mu {F}=18 \times 10^{-6} {~F}\)

    Inductance \(({L})=8 {H}\)

    \(f=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{8 \times 18 \times 10^{-6}}}=\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{144} \times 10^{-3}}=\frac{1000}{24 \pi}=\frac{125}{3 \pi}\)

    This resonance frequency \((f)=\frac{125}{3 \pi} {Hz}\)

  • Question 8
    3 / -1

    A battery of ‘V’ volt is connected to a capacitor of capacitance ‘C’ µF. After steady state is reached, battery is disconnected and another battery of 2V is connected to the capacitor but with reversed polarity. Amount of heat produced after the connection of second battery is–

    Solution


    When another battery is connected with reverse polarity, steady state change.

    Now, charge on capacitor \(q^{\prime}=2 C V=2 q\)

    Change in charge \(\Delta q=-2 q-q=-3 q\)

    Heat generation \(=\frac{(\Delta q)^{2}}{2 C}\)

    \(=\frac{9 \mathrm{q}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{C}}=\frac{9 \mathrm{C}^{2} \mathrm{V}^{2}}{2 \mathrm{C}}\)

    \(=\frac{9}{2} \mathrm{CV}^{2}\)

    Hence, The correct answer is D.

  • Question 9
    3 / -1

    Two identical wires 'A' and 'B' each of length ' carry the same current

    I. Wire A is bent into a semi-circle of radius 'R' and wire B is bent to form a square of side 'a'. If \(\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{A}}\) and \(\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{B}}\) are the values of magnetic field at the centers of the semi-circle and square respectively, then the relation between \(\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{A}}\) and \(\mathrm{B}_{\mathrm{B}}\) is-

    Solution

    For semi circle

    \(\ell=\pi r \ldots(i)\)

    \(B_{A}=\left(\frac{\mu_{0} i}{4 R}\right)\)

    \(=\frac{\mu_{0} i}{4 \cdot C / \pi}\)

    \(=\frac{\mu_{0} \pi}{4 !}\)

    For square

    \(4 a=\ell\)

    \(a=\ell / 4\)

    \(B_{B}=4\left(\frac{\mu_{0} i}{4 \pi(a / 2)}\right)\)

    \(\left[\sin 45^{\circ}+\sin 45^{\circ}\right]\)

    \(B_{B}=\frac{2 \mu_{0} i}{\pi(C / 4)}(\sqrt{2})\)

    \(B_{B}=\frac{8 \sqrt{2} \mu_{0} i}{\pi \ell}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{B_{1}}{B_{B}}=\frac{\pi^{2}}{32 \sqrt{2}}\)

    Hence, The correct answer is A.

  • Question 10
    3 / -1

    A long current carrying wire, carrying current I1 such that I1 is flowing out form the plane of paper is placed at O. A steady state current I2 is flowing in the loop ABCD

    Choose the correct option(s).

    Solution

    The current carrying wire is placed at O. It carries a current I1, which flows out from the plane of paper. Field lines are circular around the wire, due to I1.

    Force on AB = zero, as the magnetic lines are parallel to the arm AB of the loop.

    dF = IdIB sinθ .

    or dF = IdlB sinθ = zero.

    Force on CD = zero, as the magnetic lines of I1 are antiparallel to the arm CD of the loop.

    dF = IdIBsinθ = IdIB sin 180° = zero.

    Force on BC is perpendicular to plane of paper outwards, according to Fleming's left hand rule.

    Force on CD is perpendicular to plane of paper inwards, according to Fleming's left hand rule.

    The force on BC and CD are equal and opposite.

    The net force on ABCD is zero.

    Torque on loop ABCD:

    The equal and opposite forces, on BC and AD, constitute a torque which, as seen from O, will rotate the loop in clockwise direction, along OO' as axis.

    Hence option D is the correct answer.

  • Question 11
    3 / -1

    A charged particle having a positive charge q approaches a grounded metallic neutral sphere of radius R with constant speed v, as shown in the figure. Which of the following alternatives is/are correct?

    Solution

    The potential of the grounded sphere has to be zero, as the positive charge approaches the sphere, negative charge will be induced on the surface near to the charge ( bounded charge under the influence of the approaching positive charge so it cannot move). The other face will be positively charged. So, negative charge must flow from earth to the sphere to neutralize the positive charge. This negative charge is acquired by the sphere from the ground, hence current flows into the ground. As the charged particle comes nearer to the sphere, the potential of the sphere due to the positive charge increases and hence more electrons per unit time will flow from the ground to the sphere and thus magnitude of current increases. Hence, it is the correct answer.

    Hence option D is correct answer.

  • Question 12
    3 / -1

    In a young’s double-slit experiment when a glass plate of refractive index \(1.75\) is introduced in the path of one of the light beams, the fringes are displaced by a distance ‘\(x\)’. When this plate is replaced by another plate of the same thickness, the shift of fringes is \(\frac{2}{3} x\). What is the refractive index of the second plate?

    Solution

    Shift in fringes \(=\frac{D}{d}(\mu-1) t\)

    \(x=\frac{D}{d}\left(\mu_{1}-1\right) t \ldots \ldots .\) (i)

    \(\frac{2} { 3} x=\frac{D}{d}\left(\mu_{2}-1\right) t \ldots \ldots .\) (ii)

    Dividing (i) by (ii)

    \(\frac{3} { 2}=\left(\frac{\mu_{1}-1}{\mu_{2}-1}\right)\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mu_{2}-1=\frac{2( \mu_{1}-1)} { 3}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mu_{2}-1=\frac{2( 1.75-1)} { 3}\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mu_{2}=\frac{1.5 }{ 3}+1\)

    \(\Rightarrow \mu_{2}=1.5\)

  • Question 13
    3 / -1

    One (10 W, 60 Volt) bulb is to be connected to 100 V A.C line. The required induction coil has self-inductance of value (f=50 Hz):

    Solution

    \(V=\sqrt{V_{R}^{2}+V_{L}^{2}}\)

    \(100^{2}=10^{2}+V_{L}^{2} V_{L}^{2}=99.5 V\)

    \(i=\frac{V}{P}=\frac{10}{60}=6 A \Rightarrow V_{L}=i X_{L} \Rightarrow\)

    \(=i(2 \pi \mathrm{V} \mathrm{L})\)

    \(99.5=6 \times 2 \times 3.14 \times 50 \times L\)

    \(L=0.052 \mathrm{H}\)

    Hence, The correct answer is A.

  • Question 14
    3 / -1

    Two bulb of power rating 200W, 200V and 400W, 200V are connected in series across a battery of emf 100 volt. Current in each bulb is–

    Solution

    Resistance of \(1^{\mathrm{st}}\) bulb \(\mathrm{R}_{1}=\frac{\mathrm{V}^{2}}{\mathrm{P}_{1}}=\frac{(200)^{2}}{200}\)

    \(R_{1}=200\)

    Resistance of II'nd bulb \(\mathrm{R}_{2}=\frac{(200)^{2}}{\mathrm{P}_{2}}=\frac{(200)^{2}}{400}\)

    \(R_{2}=100\)

    When bulbs are in series with 100 V battery.

    Current, \(i=\frac{\left(V_{\text {batlery }}\right)}{R_{1}+R_{2}}\)

    \(i=\frac{(100)}{100+200}=\frac{1}{3} A\)

    \(=0.33 \mathrm{Amp}\)

    Hence, The correct answer is C.

  • Question 15
    3 / -1

    A convex lens of focal length 20 cm is placed at a distance 10 cm from a glass plate (μ = 3/2) of thickness 3 cm. An object is placed at a distance 40 cm in front of lens, the image of this object from the glass plate will be formed at a distance of—

    Solution

    Image distance "v' from lens (After refraction from lens only) \(\frac{1}{v}-\frac{1}{u}=\frac{1}{f} \quad(f=20 \mathrm{cm}, u=-40 \mathrm{cm})\)

    \(\Rightarrow \frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{f}+\frac{1}{u}\)

    \(\frac{1}{v}=\frac{1}{20}+\left(\frac{-1}{40}\right)\)

    \(\mathbf{v}=40 \mathrm{cm}\)

    But there is a glass plate so shift in image (I I')

    \(=t\left(1-\frac{1}{\mu}\right)\)

    \(=3\left(1-\frac{1}{3 / 2}\right)\)

    \(=1 \mathrm{cm}\)

    So, distance of image from lens

    \(=40+1\)

    \(=41 \mathrm{cm}\)

    Distance from glass plate \(=41-10=31 \mathrm{cm}\)

    Hence, The correct answer is C.
