Paragraph for Questions 7 and 8
Starting from 2019, scientists have redefined the units of fundamental physical quantities.
Thus, definition of metre, second and mole remain essentially the same. But the definition of
kilogram, kelvin and ampere have been changed. In the new system, planck's constant h,
Boltzmann's constant k and Avogadro's number N A , velocity of light c, charge on an
electron e are given constant fixed values. So the definitions of kilogram, kelvin and ampere
are to be given in terms of definition of metre, second, mole and these fundamental constants.
7. In an experiment, we wish to find value of Î0. This is found by finding force between two
electrons kept at a distance r. If the measurement of force has an error of 10–3 % and that of
distance has an error of 3 × 10–3 %, the relative error in :-
(A) Permittivity of free space Î0 is 7 × 10–3 %.
(B) Permittivity of free space Î0 is 3 × 10–3 %.
(C) Permittivity of free space Î0 is 4 × 10–3 %.
(D) Permittivity of free space Î0 is 5 × 10–3 %.
8. Which of the following constants will have no uncertainity according to the new accepted
system ?
(A) Universal gas constant R (B) Stefan constant s
(C) Permeability of free space µ0 (D) Universal gravitational constant G.

 Paragraph for Questions 17 and 18
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a widely used diagnostic technique. It shows internal
organs in minute detail. This technique is based on Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). Our
tissues mostly contain water and about two thirds of the atoms in human body are 'hydrogen'.
Nucleus of a hydrogen atom is a proton. Proton, like electron, has a spin angular momentum
and also a magnetic moment. Thus proton can be regarded as a tiny magnet. Its spin magnetic
eh
moment is nearly 2.79 µn, where m n = = 5.05 ´ 10 -27 J / T is called a nuclear magneton;
4 pmP
r
here mP is the mass of proton. Let us apply an external magnetic field B and discuss how
proton behaves. Obviously, proton will behave in a manner similar to a magnet placed in an
r
external magnetic field. We know that potential energy of a magnet of magnetic moment m
r
when placed in an external magnetic field B can be expressed as U = µB(1 – cosq), where q is
r r
the angle between m and B . Due to the interaction of external magnetic field and the spin
magnetic moment of proton, energy of the proton becomes quantised resulting in two allowed
state-(1) spin of the proton aligned with the magnetic field-(2) spin of the proton antialigned
i.e., opposite to field. These states will have different energy. In fact, the energy difference
between the two states is very small and photons whose energy matches the energy gap can
cause transitions of protons between the two energy states. These transitions are called
spin-flip transitions. A set-up for conducting such experiment is shown in figure. A coil is
wrapped around the sample and alternating current of variable frequency is made to pass in
the coil. Protons in the sample absorb power from the coil when frequency of current in the
coil is the same as required to induce transitions between the two energy states of
protons. This is called Resonance absorption of energy and the technique called
'Nuclear Magnetic Resonance'. With B = 1.5 T and, as mentioned above, spin magnetic moment
of proton = 2.79 µn, (µn = 5.05 × 10–27 J/T), answer the following questions.

17. Which state lies lower in energy?
(A) The state where proton spin component is parallel to external magnetic field.
(B) The state where proton spin component is antiparallel to external magnetic field.
(C) The state where proton spin component is perpendicular to external magnetic field.
(D) The state where proton spin component is inclined 60° to the external magnetic field.

18. As mentioned earlier, the widely used diagnostic technique 'Magnetic Resonance Imaging'
(MRI) employs NMR (spin-flip transitions). Compared to techniques that use X-rays and
g-rays which have energies in the range 104 – 106 eV,
(A) MRI causes a greater cellular damage since the photons associated with transitions used
in MRI are of greater energy and, in fact, much greater than 10 6 eV
(B) MRI causes equal cellular damage since the photons associated with transitions used in
MRI are of comparable energy
(C) MRI causes a greater cellular damage since the photons associated with transitions used
in MRI though these are comparable energy, but their flux is quite large
(D) MRI causes quite an insignificant cellular damage since the photons associated with
transitions used in MRI are of a much smaller energy which is generally of the order of
10 –7 eV

its initial velocity in the x-direction enters a region of uniform magnetic field in the z-direction.

Due to magnetic force the torque on the spin is M ´ B and perpendicular to M (also

Negative resistance instability : In 2006, it was discovered that the resistance of a
semiconductor device containing two dimensional electron gas becomes negative when it is
in a constant magnetic field and under strong microwave radiation. Because a system including
this device and other circuit elements such as normal resistors, capacitors, inductors and
voltage source will be unstable (Violating the second law of thermodynamics) if the total
resistance of the system Rsys is negative, the system reorganizes itself into a new state with
zero total resistance. The resistance RNR of the device can be expressed as a current & charge
dependent resistance
éæ i ö 2 æ q ö2 ù
RNR º R(i,q) = R 0 ê ç ÷ + ç ÷ - 1 ú ... (1)
êëè i 0 ø è q 0 ø úû
Where R0 > 0 so that the resistance is negative when the current passing through the system
i or charge stored in the system q is small and becomes positive when there is large enough
current or charge building up in the system. Hence R0, i0, q0 are constant that depend only
on the internal structure of the device, the strength and frequency of microwave radiation
and strength of magnetic field. When R NR is connected to other normal circuit elements
like capacitor, normal resistor, inductor and voltage source, the usual Kirchhoff's circuit
law still apply. Consider the situation when RNR in series only with a normal resistor with
resistance R. As shown in the figure

Paragraph for Questions 9 and 10
Nuclear binding energy is the minimum energy that would be required to disassemble the
nucleus of an atom into neutrons and protons, which are collectively called nucleons. The
mass of an atomic nucleus is less than the sum of the individual masses of the free constituent
protons and neutrons, according to Einstein's equation E=mc2. This 'missing mass',m, is known
as the mass defect, and E represents the binding energy that was released when the nucleus
was formed.
The binding energy per nucleon of a nucleus is the binding energy divided by the total number
of nucleons
Larger the binding energy per nucleon, the greater the work that must be done to remove
the nucleon from the nucleus, the more stable the nucleus.
The maximum binding energy per nucleon peak occurs at around mass number A = 50, and
corresponds to the most stable nuclei. Iron nucleus Fe(56) is located close to the peak with a
binding energy per nucleon value of approximately 8.8 MeV. It’s one of the most stable nuclides
that exist. [1 amu = 931.5 (MeV)/C2]
Use: The binding energies per nucleon for deuteron (1H2) and helium (2He4) are 1.1 MeV and
7.0 MeV respectively. The mass of oxygen nucleus is mO = 15.834 amu and mass of helium
nucleus is mHe = 4.0026 amu

Let us consider a diatomic gas whose molecules have the shape of a dumbbell. In this model,
the center of mass of the molecule can translate in the x, y, and z directions. In addition, the
molecule can rotate about three mutually perpendicular axes. We can neglect the rotation
1
about the y-axis because the moment of inertia Iy and the rotational energy Iy w2 about this
2
axis are negligible compared with those associated with the x and z axes. (If the two atoms
are taken to be point masses, then Iy is identically zero). Thus, there are five degrees of
freedom: three associated with the translational motion and two associated with the rotational
motion. Because each degree of freedom contributes, on the average,

A fan operates at 200 V (d.c.) consuming 1000 W when running at full speed. Its internal
wiring has resistance 1W. When the fan runs at full speed, its speed becomes constant. This is
because the torque due to magnetic field inside the fan is balanced by the torque due to air
resistance on the blades of the fan and torque due to friction between the fixed part and the
shaft of the fan. The electrical power going into the fan is spent (i) in the internal resistance
as heat, call it P1. (ii) in doing work against internal friction and air resistance producing
heat, sound, etc., call it P2. When the coil of fan rotates, an e.m.f. is also induced in the coil.
This opposes the external e.m.f. applied to send the current into the fan. This e.m.f. is called
back e.m.f., call it e. Answer the following questions when the fan is running at full speed.

The universal gravitational constant is measured experimentally using Cavendish’s

experiment. This experiment is a very precise experiment which gives the value of G as
(6.6742 ± 0.0010) × 10 –11 N.m2/kg 2. Since the universal gravitational constant has some
error in it, using it if we find escape speed and acceleration due to gravity on Earth’s
surface, our values will have error in it. (Assume mass of Earth = 6.0000 × 10 24 kg &
radius of Earth = 6.4000 × 10 6 m.). The measurement of mass of Earth has an error of
0.01% and radius of Earth has an error of 0.02%.

6. A cylinder of mass M and raidus R moves with constant speed v through a region of space
that contains dust particles of mass m which is at rest. There are n number of particles per
unit volume. The cylinder moves in a direction perpendicular to its axis. Assume m << M,
and assume the particles do not interact with each other. All the collision takes place is
perfectly elastic and the surface of the cylinder is smooth. The drag force per unit length of
the cylinder require to maintain the speed v constant for the cylinder when it has entered in
K
the region is nm Rv2 . Find the value of K.
