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 (c)

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

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

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

Concept:

  • Plano- concave lens: It is the type of lens that has one side as a plane surface and the other side as a concave lens.
  • 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

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 9

Concept:

Young's double slit experiment

  • In the double slits experiment, we use two long parallel slits as the sources of light in place of pin holes.
  • The light coming out of the two slits is intercepted on a screen placed parallel to the plane of the slits.
  • The slits are illuminated by a parallel beam of a monochromatic light.
  • A series of dark and bright strips, called fringes, are observed on the screen.
  • The fringe-width is given by,
  • Where, β = fringe width, λ = wavelength of light, D = distance of screen from slits, d = distance between slits.

Calculation:

Given, λ = 5898 Å, number of fringes = 92

Let the length of the screen on which the fringes are obtained be L0
​⇒ 92 × β1 = L0


--- (1)

Now for λ = 5461 Å, Let the number of fringes = n

n = 99

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 11

Potentiometer measures the potential difference using null deflection method, where no current is drawn from the cell; whereas voltmeter needs a small current to show deflection. So, accurate measurement of p.d is done using a potentiometer.

A piece of copper and another of germanium are cooled from room temperature to 80K. The resistance

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 12
  • Copper is a conductor and we know that for conductors, resistance is directly proprtional to temperature. Therefore on decreasing temperature resistance also decreases.
  • Whereas, germanium is a semiconductor and for semiconductors, resistance is inversely proportional to temperature.

(E/ B0) = c

Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 14

Which of the following is not a use of electromagnetic wave?

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 14

Electromagnetic waves are used in various applications such as:

  • Detecting invisible writing (UV light)
  • Keeping plants warm in greenhouses (infrared radiation)
  • Enhancing vision in warfare (thermal imaging)

However, global warming is primarily caused by greenhouse gases trapping heat. This process involves electromagnetic waves indirectly through the greenhouse effect. Therefore, while electromagnetic waves contribute to the mechanisms of global warming, they are not directly used in the phenomenon itself.

Thus, option B is correct as it represents an effect rather than a direct application.

The required equation E = -vLB (The negative sign only applies to the direction)
E = 1 × 0.7 × 20
E = 0.7 × 20
E = 14 V
Therefore, the motional emf in the bar and rails is 14 V.

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 21

Instantaneous power is defined as the power in an AC circuit at any instant of time. It is equal to the product of values of alternating voltage and alternating current at that time. And, because instantaneous power varies in both magnitude and sign over a cycle, it seldom has any practical importance.

Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 22

A bar of length 0.15 m slides along metal rails at a speed of 5 m/s. The bar and rails are in a magnetic field of 40 T, pointing out into the page. The resistance of two resistors in parallel is both 20 Ω, and the resistance of the bar is 5 Ω. What is the current in the bar?

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 22

L = 0.15 m; B = 40 T; v = 5 m/s; R1 = 20 Ω; R2 = 20 Ω; R3 = 5 Ω
Emf (E) = vLB = 5 × 0.15 × 40
E = 5 × 6
E = 30 V
R1 and R2 are in parallel ➔ 
RTOT = R + R3 = 10 + 5 = 15 Ω
Therefore, current (I) = E/R
I = 30/15
I = 2 A

The rod is of length 45 cm and the speed of the rod is 70 cm/s. The rod has a resistance of 10 Ω and the resistance of the rails and connector is negligible. What is the rate at which energy is being transferred to thermal energy?

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 27

Given: B = 0.5 T; v = 70 cm/s = 70 × 10-2 m/s; L = 45 cm = 45 × 10-2 m; R = 10 Ω
Motional emf (E) = vLB = 70 × 10-2 × 45 × 10-2 × 0.5
E = 0.15 V
Current (I) = E/R
I = 0.15/10
I = 0.015 A
Rate of energy or power (P) = I2R
P = 0.0152 × 10
P = 2.25 × 10-3 W
Therefore, the rate of energy transfer is 2.25 × 10-3 W.

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 3 - Question 29

A circuit containing only a pure resistance in an AC circuit is known as a pure resistive AC Circuit. For a purely resistive circuit, the power factor is one, because the reactive power equals zero, i.e.
