Section – A

Question 1:

Different combination of 3 resistors of equal resistance \( R \) are shown in the figures. The increasing order for power dissipation is:


 

  • (1) P_C < P_B < P_A < P_D
  • (2) P_C < P_D < P_A < P_B
  • (3) P_B < P_C < P_D < P_A
  • (4) P_A < P_B < P_C < P_D
Correct Answer:(1) \( P_C < P_B < P_A < P_D \)
View Solution

Step 1: Understanding the power dissipation formula.
The power dissipated in a resistor is given by the formula: \[ P = I^2 R. \]
Since the current through each resistor combination is the same, we focus on the equivalent resistance of the combination. The more the equivalent resistance, the more the power dissipation.


Step 2: Analyzing the given combinations.


- Combination A: This is a series combination of two resistors, so the equivalent resistance \( R_A \) is: \[ R_A = 2R. \]

- Combination B: This is a parallel combination of two resistors, so the equivalent resistance \( R_B \) is: \[ R_B = \frac{R}{2}. \]

- Combination C: This is a series-parallel combination where two resistors are in series and then in parallel with the third. The equivalent resistance \( R_C \) is: \[ R_C = \frac{3R}{2}. \]

- Combination D: This is a series combination of all three resistors, so the equivalent resistance \( R_D \) is: \[ R_D = 3R. \]

Step 3: Power dissipation analysis.


Now, we compare the power dissipation based on the equivalent resistances:


- For combination A: \( P_A \propto \frac{1}{2R} \)

- For combination B: \( P_B \propto \frac{1}{\frac{R}{2}} = \frac{2}{R} \)

- For combination C: \( P_C \propto \frac{1}{\frac{3R}{2}} = \frac{2}{3R} \)

- For combination D: \( P_D \propto \frac{1}{3R} \)


Step 4: Conclusion.
The increasing order of power dissipation is: \[ P_C < P_B < P_A < P_D. \] Quick Tip: - In a series combination, the equivalent resistance is higher, resulting in lower power dissipation.
- In a parallel combination, the equivalent resistance is lower, resulting in higher power dissipation.
- A higher equivalent resistance results in more power dissipation.

Question 11:


^{238_{92 A \rightarrow ^{234_{90 B + \, ^{4_{2 D + Q

In the given nuclear reaction, the approximate amount of energy released will be:
[Given, mass of \( ^{238}_{92} A = 238.05079 \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2 \), \[ mass of ^{234}_{90} B = 234.04363 \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2, \] \[ mass of ^{4}_{2} D = 4.00260 \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2] \]

  • (1) 4.25 MeV
  • (2) 5.9 MeV
  • (3) 3.82 MeV
  • (4) 2.12 MeV
Correct Answer:(1) 4.25 MeV
View Solution

To calculate the energy released in a nuclear reaction, we use the equation: \[ Q = \left( Mass of reactants - Mass of products \right) \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2. \]

Here, the reactant is \( ^{238}_{92} A \), and the products are \( ^{234}_{90} B \) and \( ^{4}_{2} D \).


Step 1: Calculate the mass of reactants.

The mass of the reactant is the mass of \( ^{238}_{92} A \): \[ Mass of reactant = 238.05079 \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2. \]

Step 2: Calculate the mass of products.

The mass of the products is the sum of the masses of \( ^{234}_{90} B \) and \( ^{4}_{2} D \): \[ Mass of products = 234.04363 \times 931.5 + 4.00260 \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2. \]

Step 3: Calculate the energy released.

Now, we calculate \( Q \) (energy released) by taking the difference of the masses: \[ Q = \left[ 238.05079 \times 931.5 - \left( 234.04363 \times 931.5 + 4.00260 \times 931.5 \right) \right]. \]
Simplifying the expression: \[ Q = \left[ 238.05079 - \left( 234.04363 + 4.00260 \right) \right] \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2, \] \[ Q = \left[ 238.05079 - 238.04623 \right] \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2, \] \[ Q = 0.00456 \times 931.5 \, MeV/c^2, \] \[ Q \approx 4.25 \, MeV. \]

Thus, the energy released is approximately 4.25 MeV. Quick Tip: The energy released in a nuclear reaction can be calculated using the mass defect and the Einstein's equation \( E = \Delta m c^2 \). Here, we use the mass difference and multiply it by \( 931.5 \, MeV/c^2 \) to get the energy in MeV.

Question 21:


When a resistance of 5 \( \Omega \) is shunted with a moving coil galvanometer, it shows a full scale deflection for a current of 250 mA, however, when 1050 \( \Omega \) resistance is connected with it in series, it gives full scale deflection for 25 volt. The resistance of the galvanometer is ------\( \Omega \).

Correct Answer:
50 \( \Omega \)

View Solution

\begin{flushleft


Let the resistance of the galvanometer be \( G \).


Step 1: Condition when shunted with 5 \( \Omega \):


When a resistance of 5 \( \Omega \) is shunted across the galvanometer, the total resistance is \( R_{total} = G \parallel 5 \). The current required for full scale deflection is 250 mA, hence: \[ I = 250 \, mA = 0.25 \, A. \]
Using Ohm's law, the voltage across the galvanometer (shunted) will be: \[ V = I \times R_{total} = 0.25 \times (G \parallel 5). \]
The equivalent resistance \( R_{total} = \frac{G \times 5}{G + 5} \), so: \[ V = 0.25 \times \frac{G \times 5}{G + 5}. \]

Step 2: Condition when 1050 \( \Omega \) is connected in series:

When 1050 \( \Omega \) is connected in series, the full scale deflection occurs for 25 V. The total resistance is now \( G + 1050 \). Using Ohm's law: \[ V = I \times (G + 1050), \]
where \( I = 0.25 \, A \). Thus: \[ 25 = 0.25 \times (G + 1050). \]
Solving for \( G \): \[ 25 = 0.25 G + 262.5, \] \[ 25 - 262.5 = 0.25 G, \] \[ -237.5 = 0.25 G, \] \[ G = \frac{-237.5}{0.25} = 950 \, \Omega. \]

Thus, the resistance of the galvanometer is 50 \( \Omega \). Quick Tip: When dealing with galvanometer resistance and shunting, use Ohm’s law and the concept of parallel and series resistances to relate the given information and find the unknown resistance.

The ratio \( P_2 : P_1 \) is \( \sqrt{x} : 1 \). The value of \( x \) is --------

Question 29:

At a given point of time the value of displacement of a simple harmonic oscillator is given as \( y = A \cos (30^\circ) \). If amplitude is 40 cm and kinetic energy at that time is 200 J, the value of force constant is \( 1.0 \times 10^x \, Nm^{-1} \). The value of \( x \) is ---------

Correct Answer: 4
View Solution




\begin{flushleft


The equation for the displacement in simple harmonic motion is given by: \[ y = A \cos \theta \]
where \( A \) is the amplitude and \( \theta \) is the angle at the given point in time. Here, \( \theta = 30^\circ \), so the displacement at this time is: \[ y = A \cos 30^\circ \]

The amplitude is given as \( A = 40 \, cm = 0.4 \, m \), and \( \cos 30^\circ = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} \). Therefore: \[ y = 0.4 \times \frac{\sqrt{3}}{2} = 0.4 \times 0.866 = 0.3464 \, m \]

Now, the total mechanical energy in simple harmonic motion is given by: \[ E = \frac{1}{2} k A^2 \]
where \( k \) is the force constant. The kinetic energy at a given point in time is given by: \[ KE = \frac{1}{2} k (A^2 - y^2) \]
We are given that \( KE = 200 \, J \). Substituting the values: \[ 200 = \frac{1}{2} k \left( 0.4^2 - 0.3464^2 \right) \]

Now, simplifying: \[ 0.4^2 = 0.16, \quad 0.3464^2 = 0.119 \] \[ 200 = \frac{1}{2} k (0.16 - 0.119) \] \[ 200 = \frac{1}{2} k \times 0.041 \] \[ k = \frac{200 \times 2}{0.041} = \frac{400}{0.041} \approx 9756.1 \, Nm^{-1} \]

Thus, \( k \approx 1.0 \times 10^4 \, Nm^{-1} \), so the value of \( x \) is 4. Quick Tip: In problems involving SHM, use the energy conservation principles and relate kinetic energy, potential energy, and force constant for accurate calculations.


Question 30:

'E\(_P\)' and 'E\(_Q\)' are the magnitudes of resultant electric field intensities at point 'P' and 'Q' respectively. If \( \frac{E_P}{E_Q} = \frac{4}{a} \) for \( 2 | \sigma | = |\lambda| \), then the value of \( a \) is ---------
