PART – I

1. A particle of mass m is projected with velocity u at an angle  with horizontal. During the period when
the particle descends from highest point to the position where its velocity vector makes an angle /2
with horizontal, find the work done by the gravity force.

2. Determine the electric field near a charged conducting surface.

3. In a gas discharge tube, if 3  1018 electrons are flowing per sec from left to right and 2  1018 protons
are flowing per second from right to left through a given cross section, find the magnitude and
direction of current through the cross section.

4. A projectile is fired from the top of a tower 40 meter high with an initial speed of 50 m/s at an unknown
angle. Find its speed when it hits the ground.

5. A uniform rod of length  and mass m is suspended on two vertical

inextensible string as shown in the figure. Calculate tension T in left
string at the instant, when right string snaps.

6. Interference fringes were produced in Young’s double slit experiment using light of wavelength 5000Å.
When a film of material 2.5103 cm thick was placed over one of the slits, the fringe pattern shifted by
a distance equal to 20 fringe widths. Find the refractive index of the material of the film.

7 The sun (diameter D) subtends an angle of  radians at the pole of a concave mirror of focal length f.
Find the diameter of the image of the sun formed by the mirror.

8. In a series grouping of N cells, current in the external circuit is I. The polarity of how many cells should
be reversed so that the current becomes (1/3)rd of the earlier value?

9. How would you established an instantaneous displacement current of 4A in the space between the
two parallel plates of 2F capacitor.

10. A potential barrier of 0.3 V exists across P-N junction

(a) If the depletion region is 1 m wide, what is the intensity of the electric field in this region.
5
(b) An electron with speed 5  10 m/s approaches this p-N junction from n-side what will be its
speed on entering the p-side.

PART – II

11. A vertical hollow cylinder of height 1.52 m is fitted with a movable Piston of negligible mass and
thickness. The lower half portion of the cylinder contains an ideal gas and the upper half is filled with
mercury. The cylinder is initially at 300 K. When the temperature is raised, half of the mercury comes
out of the cylinder. Find this temperature, assuming the thermal expansion of mercury to be negligible.

12. A connecting rod AB of mass m slides without friction over two long B
conducting rails separated by a distance .
Initially, the rod is moving with a velocity v0 to the right. Find : 
 R VO × B
(a) The distance covered by the rod until it comes to rest.
(b) The amount of heat generated in the resistance R during the
process. A

13. A body of mass 12 kg is suspended by a coil spring of natural length 50 cm and force constant
2.0  103 N/m. What is the stretched length of the spring? If the body is pulled down further
stretching the spring to a length of 5.9 cm and then released. What is the frequency of oscillation of
the suspended mass? (Neglect the mass of the spring).

14. A proton of velocity 1.0 × 107 m/s is projected at right angles to a uniform magnetic field of induction
2
100 wb/m .
(a) How much is the particle path deflected from a straight line after it has traversed a distance of 1
cm in the direction of initial velocity.
(b) How long does it take for the proton to traverse a 90o arc?
(mp = 1.65 × 1027 kg, q = 1.6 × 1019 C).
