vertical axis passing through its center, two identical small spheres are fixed, each of mass M,
charged with +Q and – Q (Fig. 1a). Below the rod, very close to it, having coaxial axes of rotation
and without friction, there is a horizontal electric dipole, with electric charges +q and –q, distributed

part of the groove is drawn with a solid line, the invisible part with a dashed line). The cylinder is
free to rotate about its vertical axis of symmetry. Initially, the cylinder is at rest. A small capsule of
mass 60 g is placed into the upper opening of the tube and released so that it slides without friction

3) The confinement of particles in regions of small dimensions can give rise to discrete energy levels
that can be exploited in optoelectronic devices such as light sensors or emitters. In particular, the
operating range of these devices can be controlled by varying the dimensions of the system's
confinement region. Consider a free electron confined by a one-dimensional potential V(x) described

by where α represents the width of the confining potential well. Determine

square loop with side length a. The square loop lies in the xy-plane, outside the magnetic field to the
left of the layer, with its sides parallel to the x and y-axis. The loop is uniformly moved in the

1) Two coils with inductances L1 and L2 = 4L1 are arranged as shown in the figure, so that the
magnetic field produced by the first coil penetrates the second coil and vice versa (case 1, figure). It
turns out that, from the point of view of the electromotive force (EMF) induced as a result of a
change in the current flowing through the coil, such a system behaves like a coil with inductance
4L1.
What would be the effective inductance Leff of the system of two coils in case 2 (figure), which differs
only in the polarity of the wires connecting the coils ? We assume that in the second case the
windings of the coils are placed identically as in the first case. We neglect magnetic induction in
those parts of the circuit that do not belong to the windings of the coils. As an answer, give the value

of the ratio . (1) (2)

2) Modern railways for high-speed trains use the technology of continuously welded rail. Instead of a
large number of shorter rail segments, between which there are gaps, a continuous rail is installed,
which is firmly fastened to the base while under tension. The rail is made of steel with a linear
thermal expansion coefficient of 1.2 × 10–6K–1 and with a Young's modulus that depends linearly on
the temperature T. E(T) = E0 – k(T – T0), where E0 = 2.0 × 1011 Pa, k = 1.0 × 108 Pa/K and T0 = 22°C.
With what stress (in MPa) must the rail be tensioned when fixed at the temperature T0, so that the
stress in it is zero at a temperature of 65°C?

3) Two infinitely long wires insulated from each other lie in a plane and make an angle of 60° with
each other, as shown in the figure. One wire carries a current I1 = 5 A and the other carries a
current I2 = 5 A. There is a line along which the magnetic field vanishes. The angle this line

makes with the wire carrying current I1 is tan–1 . The value of is :-

4) A conducting rod of mass m = 3kg, length L = 1 m, and resistance R = 0.2 Ω is placed on an

inclined plane made of two conducting rails with negligible resistance, which form an angle α = 45°
with the horizontal. The rails are connected by a conductor at bottom. The magnetic field B = 1T is
directed vertically upward. The rod can slide freely along the rails without mechanical friction and
does not rotate. By how much does the temperature (in °C) of the rod increase in one second, in
steady state if the specific heat capacity of the rod is C = 0.39 kJ/(kgK)?

5) A cyclic process occurs with one mole of a monoatomic ideal gas. The graph of this process in the
"pressure-volume" coordinates is shown in the figure. Determine the efficiency (in %) of the process.

6) A soap film with an index of refraction n = 1.33 is contained within a rectangular wire frame. The
frame is held vertically so that the film drains downwards and approximates the shape of a wedge
with flat faces near the top. The thickness of the film at the very top is essentially zero. The film is
viewed in reflected light with near-normal incidence, and the first green (λ = 525 nm) interference
band is observed 4.00 cm from the top edge of the film. The wedge angle of the film (in micro

radians) is :-

7) Halo phenomena are optical phenomena that appear in the sky around the Sun and Moon in the
form of rings, arcs, and spots. Their formation is conditioned by the presence of tiny ice crystals in
the atmosphere. Ice crystals are most commonly found at altitudes above 6 km, as the cold-
especially in Arctic regions-allows them to exist even in the near-surface air layer. These crystals
occur in many forms, but for the formation of halo phenomena, the most important are crystals in

the shape of hexagonal plates of hexagonal columns. Sunlight rays striking the side
faces of ice prisms and exiting again through a side face (see figure) create the so-called small halo,
which appears as a bright circle around the solar disk. The effect is most noticeable at an angular
radius of δmin = 14° (minimum deviation). The refractive index of the ice crystal is :

8) The figure shows an experimental device consisting of a vacuum chamber containing two parallel
flat electrodes E1 and E2 with a mutual distance of d. A photocathode K with a work function WK is
placed on electrode E1. Opposite the cathode, in electrode E2, there is a small window through which
a laser beam reaches the photocathode K. The entire system is situated in a homogeneous magnetic
field B, which is parallel to the electrodes and directed along the z-axis. Between electrodes E1 and
E2, there is a homogeneous electric field, and the voltage between the electrodes is U. As a result of
the laser light hitting the photocathode, electrons are released from its surface with zero initial
velocity and enter the region of the combined electric and magnetic fields. Determine the maximum
distance dm (in cm) between the electrodes for which an electron reaches electrode E2. Take : U =

100 V, B = 500 µT.

PART-3 : CHEMISTRY

SECTION-I (i)

1) Which of the following statements are correct?

Higher ionisation energy of N2 as compared to atomic N is because the electron is removed

(A)
from a bonding HOMO in N2.
Low ionisation energy of NO as compared to atomic N is because the electron is removed from
(B)
an antibonding HOMO, which is higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.
+ +
(C) Formation of NO increases bond order compared to NO, and NO becomes isosteric with N2.
Since NO contains one electron more than N2, the HOMO of NO must be a bonding MO, hence
(D)
IE(NO) > IE(N2).

2) An intense beam of light is passed through (i) a true homogeneous solution and (ii) a colloidal
solution (e.g., milk + water) placed in dark. Observations are made along the beam direction and
also at right angles using a microscope. Which statement(s) is/are correct?

A true solution appears clear along the direction of light but appears perfectly dark when
(A)
observed at right angles to the beam.
In a colloidal solution, the path of the light beam appears illuminated with bluish light when
(B)
viewed at right angles due to scattering.
 Using a microscope at right angles to the focussed beam in a colloidal solution, colloidal
(C)

A mixture of milk and water appears blue in transmitted light and red in reflected light because
(D)
longer wavelengths scatter more.

3) In extraction of iron in a blast furnace, thermodynamics is analysed using Ellingham-type plots of

ΔrGo vs T. Consider the following statements and select correct statement(s) :

In the blast furnace, CO acts as the major reducing agent in the upper zone, and at higher
(A)
temperatures CO is continuously regenerated by: C + CO2 → 2CO.
Limestone acts as flux because it decomposes to CaO which removes silicate impurities as
(B)
molten slag that separates from molten iron.
The reaction
FeO(s) +C(s) → Fe(s/ℓ) + CO(g)
(C)
becomes feasible above ~1073 K because beyond this temperature the (C, CO) line lies below
the (Fe, FeO) line in the Δr, Go vs T plot.
Since CO is a gaseous reducing agent, the reaction
FeO(s) + CO(g) → Fe(s) + CO2(g)
(D)
becomes more feasible at higher temperature due to increasing entropy; hence CO reduces FeO
most effectively in the hottest zone of the furnace.

(A) J is phthalic acid and K is phthalic anhydride.

(B) Conversion K→L involves formation of an anhydride.
(C) Step L → M is an example of Hofmann bromamide rearrangement leading to an anchralic acid.
The final step N→O involves esterification followed by intramolecular cyclisation giving a
(D)
heterocyclic compound containing nitrogen.
6) An optically active organic compound A (C10H14O2) does not form a salt with aqueous NaOH and
does not decolourise bromine water. However, it releases methane gas when treated with CH3MgBr.

thermal equilibrium, the final temperature becomes 40.0°[Link] this information, determine the
final equilibrium temperature (in oC) when the same iron block initially at 110.0°C is transferred into
400 mL of glycerol initially at 28.0°[Link] glycerol: Density = 1.25 g mL–1,Cp = 215 J mol–1K–1
Assume specific heat capacity of water = 4.2 J g-1K–1.

2) In the respiratory electron transport chain, electrons are transferred spontaneously from a
cytochrome of lower reduction potential to one of higher reduction potential. Three cytochromes A,
B and C have the following standard reduction potentials (at physiological conditions):

Electrons are transferred from the cytochrome with the lowest reduction potential to the one with
the highest reduction potential. If one electron is transferred from the first cytochrome to the last
cytochrome, calculate the value of |ΔGo| in kJ mol–1. (Use 1F = 96500 C)

3) An electron in a hydrogen atom is excited to the n = 3 energy level and remains in this excited
state for an average lifetime of 2 × 10–8s before undergoing a direct transition to the n = 2 level,
emitting a photon belonging to the Balmer series. Assuming the minimum uncertainly relation
applies, the natural line width Δλ of the emitted spectral line is given as y × 10–15m, calculate the
value of y, using R = 1.1 × 107 m–1 and h = 6.6 × 10–34 [Link].

7) A solution is prepared by dissolving 0.300 g of impure phenol and diluting it to 250 mL. A 25.0 mL
aliquot of this solution is taken in a flask and treated with 25.0 mL of 0.0200 M KBrO3 in presence
of excess KBr and acid, so that bromine is generated in situ. The bromine reacts with the phenol
present in the solution. After some time, excess KI is added to react with the unconsumed bromine.
The iodine liberated is then titrated with 0.100 M Na2S2O3 solution, and 18.60 mL of the thiosulfate
solution is required for complete titration. Assuming that the only impurity present in the sample is
inert and non-reactive, calculate the percentage purity of phenol in the sample.
Reaction involved are :
