Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 2

Which of the following graph correctly represents the variation of resistivity 's' with temperature 'T' for a semiconductor material ?

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 2

The relationship between resistivity and temperature for a semiconductor material is given by the following equation:

s =

where s0 is the resistivity at absolute zero temperature, Eg is the bandgap energy of the semiconductor material, k is Boltzmann's constant, and T is the temperature in Kelvin.

  • This equation is known as the Arrhenius equation and describes the temperature dependence of the resistivity of semiconductors.
  • As the temperature increases, the resistivity of a semiconductor decreases exponentially due to the increasing number of thermally excited charge carriers (electrons and holes).
  • Since, the decay is exponential, the resistivity decreases as the temperature increases.
  • So, the graph representing resistivity vs temperature would be exponential decay and represented by,

The correct answer is option (3)

Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 3

A proton and an alpha particle moving with same kinetic energy enter in the region of uniform magnetic field perpendicular to it. The ratio of radii of their trajectories will be:

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 3

Concept:

The radius of the trajectory of a charged particle moving in a uniform magnetic field is given by the formula:

r = (mv)/(qB)

where:

r is the radius of the trajectory
m is the mass of the particle
v is the velocity of the particle
q is the charge of the particle
B is the magnetic field strength
The ratio of the radii of the trajectories of a proton and an alpha particle can be found by dividing their respective radii:

r(proton) / r(alpha) = [(mprotonvproton)/(qprotonB)] / [(malphavalpha)/(qalphaB)] ------(1)

Since both particles have the same kinetic energy, we can use the fact that the kinetic energy of a particle is given by:

K = (1/2)mv2

Thus, we have:

vproton =
valpha =

Substituting these expressions into the ratio of radii equation(1),and Plugging in the values for the masses and charges of the particles, we get

r(proton) / r(alpha) = [(1/4)*(2/1)]*sqrt(4/1) = 1/2 * 2 = 1

Therefore, the ratio of the radii of the trajectories of the proton and the alpha particle is 1:1 or simply 1.

This means that the radii of their trajectories will be the same.

The correct answer is option (1)

Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 4
An electron is projected in a uniform magnetic field along the direction of field, the electron will experience:
Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

Concept:

  • When an electron is projected in a uniform magnetic field along the direction of the field lines, the electron will experience a force perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field direction, known as the Lorentz force.
  • The direction of the Lorentz force can be determined using the "right-hand rule."

Right-hand rule:

  • Point your right thumb in the direction of the electron's velocity, point your fingers in the direction of the magnetic field, and the direction in which your palm faces gives you the direction of the force experienced by the electron.
  • Since the velocity and magnetic field are both along the same direction, the angle between them is 0 degrees. Therefore, the force experienced by the electron will be zero, and the electron will continue to move along its original path without any deviation

The correct answer is option (3).

Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 5

Magnetic field due to the current carrying wire as shown in the figure at point "O" will be:

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 5

CONCEPT:

  • The Current-Carrying Conductor produces a magnetic Field Around it.

Biot-Savarts Law:

The direction and Magnitude of this magnetic field can be obtained from Biot-Savarts Law.

Where dB = Magnetic Field produced due to small wire of length dl, I = Current in wire, μ0 = Permittivity of free space, dl = Small Current Element

  • The magnetic field generated due to the current-carrying circular conductor at its center is given as:

  • This result has been obtained from Biot Savarts Law.

EXPLANATION:

  • The Magnetic Field Produced due to the Semi-Circular wire is half of that of Circular wire.
  • So, the magnetic field produced at the center "O" of the wire will be


Hence option 2 is the correct option.

Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 6
An electron is shot into the uniform magnetic field, normal to the direction of field. Then the frequency of revolution of the electron in its circular orbit :
Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 6

Concept:

Since the electron is shot into the magnetic field normal to the direction of the field, it will experience a force perpendicular to both its velocity and the magnetic field direction. This force will cause the electron to move in a circular path with a radius given by:

r =

where:

r is the radius of the circular orbit in meters (m)
v is the velocity of the electron in meters per second (m/s)
Since the force on the electron is always perpendicular to its velocity, the electron will move in a circular path with a constant speed. This means that the frequency of revolution of the electron is given by:

f =

Substituting the expression for r from above, we get:

f =

where:

f is the frequency of revolution in Hertz (Hz)
B is the magnitude of the magnetic field in Tesla (T)
q is the charge of the electron in Coulombs (C)
m is the mass of the electron in kilograms (kg)

Since v cancels out from the equation, the frequency of revolution of the electron is independent of its initial velocity and only depends on the magnitude of the magnetic field, the charge and mass of the electron.

Therefore, the frequency of revolution of the electron in its circular orbit is solely dependent on the strength of the magnetic field and the properties of the electron, as given by the above equation.

The correct answer is option (1)

Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 7

A plano-concave lens of focal length 10 cm is cut in to two equal parts then the power of each part is equal to_______ .

  • Its focal length is always negative.
  • The power of a lens is specified as the inverse of the focal length in meters, or P/1/f

Explanation:

Given, focal length, f = 10 cm = 0.1 m

Then power of the lens is P = 1/f = 1/0.1 = 10 D

  • When the lens is cut in to two equal parts then there will be no effect on focal length as the radius of curvature will remain same and then the focus will be same.
  • Then the power of each part is equal to the original lens.
  • P = 10 D
