Then The force exerted by the spring on the body will always be directed towards the mean position of the body. The potential energy of the body will be ‘maximum when its kinetic energy is zero. Potential energy of the spring and the kinetic energy of the body will change from maximum to minimum in equal times. None of the above is correct. Colours of non-luminous objects seen in sunlight can be due (0 Selective absorption and reflection Interference Dispersion Diffraction It an ideal capacitor is charged using a voltage supply of xed voltage. Energy stored on the capacitors less than oF equal to half the energy supplied Bull IAPT August. 2000 (o) ) (dy (5) @) (o) © 6) Strictly speaking, the capacitor can never be discharged fully. The loss of energy can be reduced by increasing the resistance in series with the capacitor. The power supplied decreases exponentially with time. A ring of mass M and radius R. fs rotating about its axis with angular velocity. Two identical bodies each of mass mare now placed at the two ends of a dismeter of the ring. Then The angular velocity of the system will be om M+ 2m ‘The angular velocity of the system will be 2m Mam Kinetic energy equal to Mm aya Mm _ ip Ms am will be lost. Kinetic energy is conserved.

Inank -C-Rseries circuit the current lags the applied altemating voltage. The phase Jag can be reduced to zero by increasing value of C Increasing value of L. Increasing frequency of altemating voltage. Decreasing L and increasing C. A series R-C circuit is connected across an alternating signal. When output is taken across C, the circuit acts as a low pass filter. The filtering results because Atlow frequency the current through capacitoris larger than the current through the resistor. The impedance of the circur decreases with frequency. The resistance in the crcutt remains constant but reactance of the capacitor decreases with frequency. Itis the property of an R-C circuit Energy of electronics moving in circular obits can be increased by an electric field along the orbit. a varying magnetic feld perpendicular to the orbit. constant magnetic field perpendicular to the orbit, 4a radial electric field directed towards the centre ofthe orbit Before the existence of neutrino was postulated, it was thought that some conservation laws were violated in decay, these were pertaining to Charge conservation ‘Mass conservation Bull IAPT August, 20002s, gs ken er. the ugh with stant veular ilar to slarto 4s the 2 was some ‘ecay, £, 2000 cy {)__ Energy conservation {d) Angular momentum conservation.

Kepler s Jaws would not be valid and would require modification. In that case, =, the bound orbit is elliptical as mentionec by first law. second law is valid third law is not valid the orbit is not dosed one, though minimurr and maximum distances are fixed, In p-type semiconductor, net charge Is negative the resistivity increases with temperature when forming a p-n junction, an elect field is set up at the junction directes towards the junction. ifa potential differences is established across It, the current is due to majority carriers =
