Q1. A proton (charge + e coul) enters a magnetic field of strength B (Tesla) with speed v, parallel to the direction of magnetic lines of force. The force on the proton is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:

Lorentz force is given by When the proton enters the magnetic field parallel to the direction of the lines of force,.Therefore F = 0

Q2. Transistor was invented by
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It is composed of semiconductor material usually with at least three terminals for connection to an external circuit. The first practically implemented device was a point-contact transistor invented in 1947 by American physicists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain, and William Shockley. The transistor revolutionized the field of electronics, and paved the way for smaller and cheaper radios, calculators, and computers, among other things. The transistor is on the list of IEEE milestones in electronics, and Bardeen, Brattain, and Shockley shared the 1956 Nobel Prize in Physics for their achievement.

Q3.

A truck has a velocity of 2 m /s at time t=0. It accelerates at 2 m /  on seeing police .What is its velocity in m/s at a time of 2 sec


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Initial velocity u = 2 m/s

final velocity = v m/s

Time duration = final time - initial time = 2-0 = 2 s

acceleration a = 2 m/s​​​​​​2

We know,

v = u + at

=> v = 

=> v = 6 m/s


Q4. A stretched string fixed at both ends has n nodes then the length of string in terms of wavelength is
Answer : Option B
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q5. Two ends of a horizontal conducting rod of length l are joined to a voltmeter. The whole arrangement moves with a horizontal velocity v, the direction of motion being perpendicular to the rod. Vertical component of the earth's magnetic field is B. The voltmeter reads
Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

Induced EMF is zero because flux linked with it remains constant.

Q6. Part of the electromagnetic spectrum to which 2.7 K [temperature associated with the isotropic radiation filling all space-thought to be a relic of the ‘big-bang’ origin of the Universe] belongs is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q7. If work function of a metal surface is 3.45 eV ,then maximum wavelength of a photon required to eject a photoelectron is
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q8. need for modulation arises from antenna considerations. If base band signal is to be transmitted then
Answer : Option A
Explaination / Solution:
No Explaination.


Q9.

A sports car has a “lateral acceleration” of 0.96g = 9.4 m . This is the maximum centripetal acceleration the car can sustain without skidding out of a curved path. If the car is traveling at a constant 40 m/s on level ground, what is the radius R of the tightest unbanked curve it can negotiate?


Answer : Option C
Explaination / Solution:

The car is in uniform circular motion because it’s moving at a constant speed along a curve that is a segment of a circle. Hence we know 

R==170 m 

This is the minimum turning radius because arad is the maximum centripetal acceleration.


Q10. A uniformly charged conducting sphere of 2.4 m diameter has a surface charge density of . (a) Find the charge on the sphere. (b) What is the total electric flux leaving the surface of the sphere? 
Answer : Option D
