Set-1

1. A 4F capacitor is charged by a 200V supply. It is then disconnected from the

supply and is connected to another uncharged 2F capacitor. How much
electrostatic energy of first capacitor is dissipated in the form of heat and
electromagnetic radiation?
2. The number density of free electrons in a copper conductor is estimated at
8.5×1028 m-3. How long does an electron take to drift from one end of a wire 3.0
m long to its other end? The area of cross section of the wire is 2.0 × 10-6 m2 and
it is carrying a current of 3.0 A.
3. A coil having inductance 0.2 H and resistance 10  is connected across 220V–50
Hz AC source. Calculate (i) the current in the coil, (ii) the phase angle between
the current and supply voltage, (iii) power loss in the coil.
4. In a double slit experiment, the distance of the screen from the slits is 1 m and
the distance between the slits is 1mm. If the third dark fringe is formed at a
distance 1.5 mm from the central point on the screen, calculate the wavelength of
light used.
5. The mass of lithium- 7 nucleus is 7.01022 u. Calculate the binding energy per
nucleon. Mass of proton = 1.00728 u and that of neutron = 1.00867 u.
