When a positive charge is moved in an electrostatic field from a point at high potential to a low potential, its kinetic energy
  • a)
    Remains constant
  • b)
    Decreases
  • c)
    Increases
  • d)
    Either increase or remain constant
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

You can generalise it by assuming a positive charge moving away from another positive charge. now both of them are repelling each other with some force. so that positive charge will accelerate which results in the increase in K.E.

The shape of equipotential surface for an infinite line charge is:​
  • a)
    Coaxial cylindrical surfaces
  • b)
    Parallel plane surfaces
  • c)
    Parallel plane surfaces perpendicular to lines of force
  • d)
    None of above
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajesh Gupta answered
The shape of equipotential surface for an infinite line charge is coaxial cylindrical because A curved surface on which potential is constant is equipotential curve . If we consider the line charge then the focus of the point should have the same potential hence it is a coaxial cylinder.

Equipotential surfaces cannot
  • a)
    be parallel
  • b)
    be spherical
  • c)
    Intersect
  • d)
    be irregularly shaped.
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Krishna Iyer answered
The electric field lines are perpendicular to the equipotential surface. The field lines can not intersect each other because the electric force can not have two directions at a point.

A metal sphere carries a charge of 5×10-8C and is at a potential of 200 V, relative to the potential far away. The potential at the centre of the sphere is:​
  • a)
    -100V
  • b)
    0
  • c)
    200V
  • d)
    2×10-6v
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Keerthana Iyer answered
Given data:
Charge on the sphere, q = 5.1 × 10⁻⁸ C
Potential difference, V = 200 V

We know that the formula for potential difference is:
V = kq/r

where k is Coulomb's constant, q is the charge on the sphere and r is the radius of the sphere.

Calculating the radius of the sphere:
r = kq/V
r = (9 × 10^9 Nm^2/C^2 × 5.1 × 10⁻⁸ C) / (200 V)
r = 2.295 × 10⁻⁴ m

The potential at the centre of the sphere is given by:
V' = kq/R
where R is the radius of the sphere.

As the point is at the centre of the sphere, R = r.
V' = kq/r
V' = (9 × 10^9 Nm^2/C^2 × 5.1 × 10⁻⁸ C) / (2.295 × 10⁻⁴ m)
V' = 2 × 10² V

Therefore, the potential at the centre of the sphere is 200 V (option C).

The value of electric field vector along the surface of constant potential of 100 V
  • a)
    100 V/m
  • b)
    -100 V/m
  • c)
    10 V/m
  • d)
    Zero
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Anjana Sharma answered
As we know that electric field is in reverse sense of the directional gradient of electric potential, so if V is constant, E should be zero. So, for E to be zero, either V has to be zero, or constant, or the 3 directional derivative components of V must cancel out each other in space. So we cant claim that V always has to be zero, if E is zero in a region, since E is a vector & V is a scalar quantity. But if V is zero, then surely E has to be zero; the reverse case is not true always.

Akash Menon answered
(iii) - (i) - (iv) - (ii)

Explanation:
The sequence of events in the human female reproductive cycle is as follows:
1. Secretion of FSH (Follicle Stimulating Hormone) by the pituitary gland
2. Growth of the follicle in the ovary
3. Ovulation, where the mature egg is released from the ovary
4. Growth of the corpus luteum, which is the remains of the follicle after ovulation
5. Sudden increase in the levels of LH (Luteinizing Hormone) which triggers ovulation

Therefore, the correct sequence of events is (iii) - (i) - (iv) - (ii).

Rohit Shah answered
Optical analogue of anequipotential surface is. Wavefronts are surfaces of constant phase. Similarly,equipotential surface due to point charge is spherical in shape and has same potential at each point on selected surface.

Read the following statements about menstrual cycle and select two correct statements.
(i) Lack of menstruation may be indicative of pregnancy.
(ii) The changes in the ovary and the uterus are induced by changes in the levels of ovarian hormones only.
(iii) LH surge induces ovulation.
(iv) If fertilisation occurs, corpus luteum degenerates immediately.

    (i) and (ii)
  • b)
    (ii) and (iii)
  • c)
    (i) and (iii)
  • d)
    (ii) and (iv)
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gaurav Kumar answered
Lack of menstruation may be indicative of pregnancy. During pregnancy, the levels of estrogen and progesterone are high in the blood, which are required for the maintenance of uterus and thus, menstruation does not occur. On 14th day of the menstrual cycle, there is rapid increase in LH (called LH surge), that induces ovulation. The changes in the ovary and the uterus are induced by changes in the levels of ovarian hormones and pituitary hormones. If fertilisation occurs, corpus luteum degenerates by 16th week of pregnancy.

Withdrawal of which of the following hormones is the immediate cause of menstruation?
  • a)
    Progesterone
  • b)
    Estrogen
  • c)
    FSH
  • d)
    FSH-RH
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Preeti Iyer answered
Progesterone is required for the maintenance of the endometrial lining of the uterus. As soon as the production of progesterone is reduced due to reduction in the production of LH from anterior lobe of the pituitary, the endometrium of the uterus breaks down and menstruation begins.

Study the graph carefully and correlate the hormone levels on
(i) 1-5 days
(ii) 12-14 days
(iii) 25-28 days (if the ovum is not fertilised).
  • a)
    (i) LH decreases and FSH increases
    (ii) LH increases and FSH decreases
    (iii) LH level maintained and FSH level increases
  • b)
    (i) LH increases and FSH decreases
    (ii) LH decreases and FSH increases
    (iii) LH level increases and FSH level maintained
  • c)
    (i) LH increases and FSH decreases
    (ii) LH peaks and FSH peaks
    (iii) LH level decreases and FSH level maintained
  • d)
    (i) LH peaks and FSH peaks
    (ii) LH increases and FSH decreases
    (iii) LH level decreases and FSH level maintained
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev NEET answered
The menstrual cycle is a series of cyclic physiological changes that take place in the female primates. It is regulated by the various hormones like FSH, LH, estrogen, progesterone. The follicle-stimulating hormone stimulates the development of follicles which secretes estrogen. The rise in the level of estrogen stimulates the thickening of the endometrium in the uterus. LH is secreted by the pituitary gland which causes ovulation. The rise in LH level is followed by the rise in the progesterone which is responsible for developing the follicles into corpus luteum. The corpus luteum secretes progesterone which is necessary for the maintenance of the uterus lining for implantation. The rise in progesterone and estrogen results in the decrease of FSH and LH. If there is no pregnancy, then the level of progesterone and estrogen decreases which results in the breaking of the endometrium i.e., menstrual flow. After the start of menstruation, the level of FSH and LH rises to start the new cycle.

The correct sequence of the various phases of a typical menstrual cycle is:
 
  • a)
    Menstrual → Follicular → Secretory → Ovulatory
  • b)
    Menstrual → Follicular → Ovulatory → Secretory
  • c)
    Ovulatory → Follicular → Secretory → Menstrual
  • d)
    Menstrual → Secretory → Follicular → Ovulatory
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev NEET answered
The correct sequence of the various phases of a typical menstrual cycle is:

- Menstrual
- Follicular
- Ovulatory
- Secretory

Explanation:
- Menstrual phase: Shedding of the uterine lining
- Follicular phase: Maturation of follicles in the ovary
- Ovulatory phase: Release of an egg from the ovary
- Secretory phase: Preparation of the uterus for possible pregnancy by thickening the lining

Therefore, the correct sequence is Menstrual → Follicular → Ovulatory → Secretory, which corresponds to option B.

If mammalian ovum fails to get fertilized, which one of the following is unlikely?
  • a)
    Corpus luteum will degenrate
  • b)
     Progesterone secretion rapidly declines
  • c)
    Estrogen secretion further decreases
  • d)
    Primary follicle starts developing
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Mohit Rajpoot answered
 
If mammalian ovum fails to get fertilized the estrogen secretion does not decrease further while corpus luteum will disintegrate. Primary follicle starts developing and progesterone secretion rapidly declines.
Topic in NCERT: MENSTRUAL CYCLE
Line in NCERT: "In the absence of fertilisation, the corpus luteum degenerates."
 

The roots that originate from the base of the stem are:
  • a)
    Fibrous roots
  • b)
    Primary roots
  • c)
    Prop roots
  • d)
    Lateral roots
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Mahi Nair answered
Fibrous Roots:

Fibrous roots are the roots that originate from the base of the stem. These are also known as adventitious roots. They are formed from the stem or leaves of the plant. Fibrous roots are found in monocots, whereas dicots have a taproot system.

Characteristics of Fibrous Roots:

- Fibrous roots are thin and hair-like.
- They grow in a cluster or group.
- They do not penetrate deep into the soil.
- They are responsible for absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.
- They provide anchorage to the plant.

Examples of Plants with Fibrous Roots:

- Grass
- Rice
- Wheat
- Maize
- Sugarcane

Importance of Fibrous Roots:

- Fibrous roots help in preventing soil erosion.
- They increase the surface area of the root system, which enhances the absorption of water and nutrients.
- They provide support to the plant, preventing it from falling.
- Fibrous roots help in stabilizing the soil and preventing landslides.

Conclusion:

Fibrous roots are important for the growth and development of plants. They play a vital role in providing support, preventing soil erosion, and absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.

During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, which of the following occurs?
I: The primary follicle grows and becomes a fully mature Graafian follicle.
II: The endometrium of the uterus regenerates through proliferation.
  • a)
    Only I
  • b)
    Only II
  • c)
    I and II
  • d)
    None
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Lead Academy answered
During the follicular phase of the menstrual cycle, the following occurs:
The primary follicle grows and becomes a fully mature Graafian follicle.
The endometrium of the uterus regenerates through proliferation.
Follicle Development:
  • The primary follicle grows in response to follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH).
  • It develops into a secondary follicle and eventually becomes a mature Graafian follicle, ready for ovulation.
2. Endometrial Regeneration:
  • The endometrium (uterine lining) regenerates and thickens through proliferation, preparing for possible implantation of a fertilized egg.
Correct Answer: C: I and II
Thus, both statements I and II are correct.

Which of the following statement is correct?
  • a)
    Ecell and ΔrG of a cell reaction both are extensive properties
  • b)
    Ecell and ΔrG of a cell reaction both are intensive properties
  • c)
    Ecell  is an intensive property while  ΔrG of a cell reaction is an extensive property
  • d)
    Ecell  is an extensive property while  ΔrG of a cell reaction is an intensive property
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ecell and rG are both important thermodynamic properties used to describe the behavior of electrochemical cells. Ecell represents the cell potential or electromotive force (EMF), which is a measure of the driving force for the cell reaction. On the other hand, rG (Gibbs free energy change) represents the thermodynamic driving force for a chemical reaction, including electrochemical reactions.

Ecell is an intensive property because it does not depend on the amount of substance present in the system. It is solely determined by the nature of the reactants and products involved in the cell reaction. Intensive properties are independent of the system's size or the amount of substance present. For example, the cell potential of a half-cell will remain the same regardless of whether it is combined with another half-cell to form a complete cell or if it is used in isolation.

On the other hand, rG is an extensive property because it depends on the amount of substance present in the system. The Gibbs free energy change is directly proportional to the quantity of reactants and products involved in the cell reaction. Extensive properties change with the size or amount of substance present. For example, if the number of moles of reactants and products in a cell reaction is doubled, the value of rG will also double.

Therefore, the correct statement is option C: Ecell is an intensive property while rG of a cell reaction is an extensive property. This means that the cell potential remains the same regardless of the scale of the reaction, while the Gibbs free energy change will vary depending on the amount of substance involved in the reaction.

In summary:
- Ecell (cell potential) is an intensive property, independent of the amount of substance.
- rG (Gibbs free energy change) is an extensive property, dependent on the amount of substance.
- Option C is correct because it correctly distinguishes between the intensive and extensive nature of Ecell and rG.

The Eo M3+/M2+ values for Cr, Mn, Fe and Co are - 0.41 V, +1,57 V, + 0.77 V and m /m 1.97 V respectively. For which one of these metals the change in oxidation state from +2 to +3 is easiest?
  • a)
    Cr
  • b)
    Mn
  • c)
    Fe
  • d)
    Co
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?


Mn3+ + e- → Mn2+ + 1.57 V
Fe3+ + e- → Fe2+ + 0.77 V
Co3+ + e- → Co2+ + 1.97 
Cr3+/Cr2+ with most negative E°red is the best reducing agent.
Cr2+→ Cr3+ + e- , E° = 0.41 V
Thus, is oxidised from Cr2+ to Cr3+ most easily.

Given, 
Ag+/Ag = 0.80 V
Mg2+/Mg = -2.37 V
Cu2+/Cu = + 0.34V 
Hg2+/Hg = 0.79V
Q.
Which of the following statement(s) is/are correct?
  • a)
    AgNO3 can be stored in a copper vessel
  • b)
    Cu(NO3)2 can be stored in a magnesium vessel
  • c)
    CuCl2 can be stored in a silver vessel
  • d)
    HgCl2 can be stored in a copper vessel
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Based on electro chemical series, reactivity series is

(a) 2Ag+ + Cu → Cu2+ 2Ag
Cu is a better reducing agent than Ag hence Ag+ is reduced by Cu. Thus AgNO3 can not be stored in copper vessel.
(b) Cu2+ + Mg → Mg2+ + Cu
Mg will reduce Cu2+ to Cu thus can not be stored.
(c) Cu2+ + 2Ag → Cu + 2 Ag+
Cu is better reducing agent hence CuCI2 can be stored in silver vessel.
(d) Hg2+ + Cu → Cu2+ + Hg
Cu is better reducing agent. Hence, HgCI2 can not be stored in copper vessel. 

One mole of Ag2CO3 is strongly heated in an open vessel. Residue wll be 
  • a)
    1 mole of Ag2O
  • b)
    2 moles of Ag
  • c)
    1 mole of Ag2O and 1 mole of CO2
  • d)
    2 moles of Ag , 0.5 mole of O2 and and 1 mole of CO2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Oxides of the metals are decomposed to metals if in electro chemical series , Eored > 0 .7 9 V
For A g, E°Ag+/Ag = 0.80 V hence Ag2O is decomposed to metals. Products are Ag , CO2 and O2. Since reaction takes place in an open vessel, CO2 and O2 escape from mixture, residue being 2 moles of silver.

Correct answer is option 'A,C'. Can you explain this answer?



Thus, (c) is correct.
Concentrated H2SO4 ionises as H+ and HSO4- and then water is not oxidised in concentrated H2SO4 Thus, (b) is incorrect.
 is not oxidised to in dilute H2SO4. Thus, (d) is incorrect.
(d) In dilute sulphuric acid solution, ions will be oxidised to tetrathionate ion () at anode.

Zinc ,silver and iron plates are dipped in CuSO4 solutions placed in different vessels as shown:
 
Blue colour of CuSO4 fades in  
  • a)
    I , II ,III
  • b)
    I, II
  • c)
    II , III
  • d)
    I , III
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Blue colour fades or changes to colourless if Cu2+ is reduced to Cu.
In electrochemical series (ECS), reactivity order is Zn, Fe, Cu, Ag
Thus, Zn and Fe reduce Cu2+ to Cu but Ag does not reduce Cu2+. Thus, in I and III, CuSO4 changes to colourless or fades by zinc and iron plates.

  • d)
    Cu,Hg,Ag
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gauri Kaur answered
These metals based on E°red values are placed in the following order:

Mg will reduce and Ag+ to metals Cu, Hg, Ag.
Cu will reduce and Ag+ to Hg, Ag, Hg will reduce Ag+ to Ag.
Ag+ is reduced by all metals thus Ag first. Hg2+ is reduced by Cu, Mg thus Hg. Cu2+ is reduced by Mg only, thus Cu.
Thus, deposition : 

Select the correct statement(s) based on the following half-reaction:
  • a)
    Copper reacts with dil. H2SO4 forming H2 and SO2
  • b)
    Copper reacts with conc. H2SO4 forming SO2
  • c)
    Zinc reacts with conc. H2SO4 forming SO2
  • d)
    Zinc reacts with dil. H2SO4 forming H2
Correct answer is option 'B,C,D'. Can you explain this answer?

Gauri Kaur answered
If dil. H2SO4 is used, then H+ is the reacting species.
If cone. H2SO4 is used, then is the reacting species.

Thus, copper does not react with H+ (dil. H2SO4) forming H2.

Since E°cell > 0, Thus copper reacts with cone. H2SO4 forming SO2.
(c) Zn + +4H+ → Zn2+ + SO2 + 2H2O
cell = 1.93 V, E°cell > 0, thus zinc also reacts with conc.
H2SO4 forming SO2.
(d) Zn + 2H+ → Zn2+ + H2, E°cell = 0.76 V
cell > 0, thus zinc reacts with dil. H2SO4 forming H2.

The standard reduction potentials at 298K for the following half-cell are given
Which is the strongest reducing agent?
  • a)
    Zn(S)
  • b)
    Cr(s)
  • c)
    H2g
  • d)
    Fe2+(aq)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

In electrochemical series (ECS), elements have been arranged in the increasing standard reduction potential starting from most negative to most positive value w.r.t. SHE (E°she= 0.00 V).
Most negative standard reduction potential means most easily oxidised and thus is the best reducing agent.
OR Reducing agent in (ECS) is always above oxidising agent. Thus, Zn(s) is the best reducing agent in given set.
