* 8. An incandescent bulb has a thin filament of tungsten that is heated to high temperature by passing an
electric current. The hot filament emits black-body radiation. The filament is observed to break up at
random locations after a sufficiently long time of operation due to non-uniform evaporation of tungsten
from the filament. If the bulb is powered at constant voltage, which of the following statement(s) is(are)
true?
(A) The temperature distribution over the filament is uniform
(B) The resistance over small sections of the filament decreases with time
(C) The filament emits more light at higher band of frequencies before it breaks up
(D) The filament consumes less electrical power towards the end of the life of the bulb
Sol. (C, D)
When filament breaks up, the temperature of filament will be higher so according to wein’s law

As R increases with increase in temperature so the filament consumes less electrical power towards the end

8 O are 1.008665 u, 1.007825 u, 15.000109 u and
tio
15.003065u, respectively. Given that the radii of both the 15 15
7 N and 8 O nuclei are same, 1 u = 931.5
MeV/c2 ( c is the speed of light) and e2/(40) = 1.44 MeV fm. Assuming that the difference between the
binding energies of 15 15
7 N and 8 O is purely due to the electrostatic energy, the radius of either of the nuclei
is

Now mass defect of N atom = 8  1.008665 + 7  1.007825  15.000109

So binding energy = 0.1239864  931.5 MeV
and mass defect of O atom = 7  1.008665 + 8  1.007825  15.003065
= 0.12019044 u
So binding energy = 0.12019044  931.5 MeV
So |B0  BN| = 0.0037960  931.5 MeV .. . . (ii)
from (i) and (ii) we get
R = 3.42 fm.

has a length of 1 m at 10 0C. Now the end P is maintained at 10 0C, while the end S is heated and
maintained at 400 0C. The system is thermally insulated from its surroundings. If the thermal conductivity
of wire PQ is twice that of the wire RS and the coefficient of linear thermal expansion of PQ is 1.2  10-5
K-1, the change in length of the wire PQ is

thermodynamic process that brings the system from the same initial state to the same final state in two
steps: an isobaric expansion at Pi followed by an isochoric (isovolumetric) process at volume Vf. The

A frame of reference that is accelerated with respect to an inertial frame of reference is called a non-inertial frame of
reference. A coordinate system fixed on a circular disc rotating about a fixed axis with a constant angular velocity 

where vrot is the velocity of the particle in the rotating frame of reference and r is the position vector of the
particle with respect to the centre of the disc.
Now consider a smooth slot along a diameter of a disc of radius R rotating counter-clockwise with a constant
angular speed  about its vertical axis through its center. We assign a coordinate system with the origin at the center
of the disc, the x-axis along the slot, the y-axis perpendicular to the slot and the z-axis along the rotation axis

PARAGRAPH 2
Consider an evacuated cylindrical chamber of height h having rigid conducting plates at the ends and an insulating
curved surface as shown in the figure. A number of spherical balls made of a light weight and soft material and
coated with a conducting material are placed on the bottom plate. The balls have a radius r << h. Now a high voltage
source (HV) is connected across the conducting plates such that the bottom plate is at +V0 and the top plate at –V0.
Due to their conducting surface, the balls will get charged, will become equipotential with the plate and are repelled
by it. The balls will eventually collide with the top plate, where the coefficient of restitution can be taken to be zero
due to the soft nature of the material of the balls. The electric field in the chamber can be considered to be that of a
parallel plate capacitor. Assume that there are no collisions between the balls and the interaction between them is
n
negligible. (Ignore gravity)

(B) The balls will execute simple harmonic motion between the two plates
(C) The balls will bounce back to the bottom plate carrying the same charge they went up with
(D) The balls will stick to the top plate and remain there
re

After hitting the top plate, the balls will get negatively charged and will now get attracted to the bottom
plate which is positively charged. The motion of the balls will be periodic but not SHM.

number of moles of X formed at equilibrium. The reaction is carried out at a constant total pressure of 2 bar.
