UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 2

Use Lenz’s law to determine the direction of induced current in the situations described by the Figure (a) A wire of irregular shape turning into a circular shape; (b) A circular loop being deformed into a narrow straight wire. The directions for (a) and (b) respectively are

Detailed Solution for UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 2

Explanation:(a) for a given Periphery the area of a circle is maximum. When a coil takes a circular shape, the magnetic flux linked with the coil increases, so the current induced in the coil will tend to decrease the flux and so it will produce a magnetic field upward. As a result the current induced in the coil will flow in anticlockwise direction.(b) When circular coil takes the shape of narrow straight wire, The magnetic flux linked with the coil decreases. So the current induced in the coil will tend to oppose the decrease in magnetic flux. Hence it will produce an upward magnetic field so that the current induced in the coil will flow in anticlockwise direction.

UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 3

The gravitational force between two objects each of mass m, separated by a distance r, is F. Gravitational force between two objects each of mass 2m separated by a distance 2r, will be

Detailed Solution for UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 3

Gravitational force between two objects is mathematically represented as:
F = G × (m1×m2) / r2
Applying the Law of Gravitation,
Given that the initial force F is due to two objects each of mass m separated by a distance r.
Substituting these into the formula gives:
F = G × (m×m) / r2
The problem then states that the mass of each of the objects is doubled (to 2m) and the distance between them is also doubled (to 2r).
The new force F' using these values in the formula would be: F' = G × (2m×2m) / (2r)2

Simplifying this gives:
F' = 4G × (m×m) / 4×r2
This simplifies further to:
F' = G × (m×m) / r2
Comparing this with the original equation for F, we find that:
F' = F

UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

The model that best explains the results of Geiger-Marsden experiment is

Detailed Solution for UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 4

When Rutherford saw the results of the experiment by Geiger and Marsden, he said:
“It was quite the most incredible event that has ever happened to me in my life. It was almost as incredible as if you fired a 15-inch shell at a piece of tissue paper and it came back and hit you.”
Rutherford used the results of this experiment to develop a new model for the atom. This model proposed a central nucleus with a positive charge. It was this positively charged nucleus that was responsible for the strong backward deflection of the positively charged alpha particles.
The model also proposed that negatively charged electrons surrounded this nucleus. However, as most of the alpha particles passed through the gold foil with no deflection at all, Rutherford realised that most of the atom was empty space. So, his model placed the electrons at some distance from the nucleus.

UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 7

The number of significant digits in 8.1000 is:

Detailed Solution for UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 7

Explanation

To determine the number of significant digits in the number 8.1000, we can follow a systematic approach based on the established rules of significant figures

 

1Identify non-zero digits. In the number 8.1000, the digits '8' and '1' are non-zero. According to the rules of significant figures, all non-zero digits are considered significant. Therefore, we have two significant digits from these numbers

2Examine the zeros. The zeros in the number 8.1000 need to be evaluated based on their position. The first zero appears after the '1', and since it is sandwiched between non-zero digits (1 and 0), it is significant

3Analyze trailing zeros. The last three zeros in 8.1000 come after the decimal point and follow the last non-zero digit (which is '1'). According to the rules, trailing zeros in a decimal number are significant. Therefore, these three zeros also count as significant digits

4Count the total significant digits. Adding the significant digits identified: 2 (from '8' and '1') + 1 (from the zero between '1' and '0') + 3 (trailing zeros) gives us a total of 5 significant digits

UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 8

A non-conducting sphere has uniform charge density in it. The electric field at a point inside the sphere will be _______ Zero

Detailed Solution for UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 8

In the case of a non-conducting sphere, an electric charge is uniformly distributed throughout the sphere. Inside the sphere, the electric field at a point will be only due to the electric charge inside that point. There will be no effect of the remaining charge outside that point. In the case of the conducting sphere, the electric field at every point inside the sphere is zero.

UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 20

The stopping potential for the photo electrons emitted from a metal surface of work function 1.7eV is 10.4 V. Identify the energy levels corresponding to the transitions in hydrogen atom which will result in emission of wavelength equal to that of incident radiation for the above photoelectric effect

Detailed Solution for UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 20

As we know that the stopping potential of the photoelectron is equal to the maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron,
KEmax​=10.4V
Now, in photoelectric effect,
Energy of incident radiation (Ein​) = work function + K.Emax​
⇒ Ein​=1.7+10.4
⇒ Ein​=12.1eV
Now, for 0 hydrogen atom,
Energy of first energy level, E1​=−13.6eV
Energy of second energy level, E2​=−3.4eV
Energy of third energy level, E3​=−1.5eV
Hence, a transition from third to first energy level will result in emission of radiation of energy = E3​−E1​=12.1eV which is same as the energy of incident radiation of above photoelectric effect.
Thus, correct answer is n=3 to 1

Detailed Solution for UP PGT Physics Mock Test - 3 - Question 24

Given Data,
Length of the piece of copper = l = 19.1 mm = 19.1 × 10-3m
Breadth of the piece of copper = b = 15.2 mm = 15.2× 10-3m
Tension force applied on the piece of cooper, F = 44500N
Area of rectangular cross section of copper piece,
Area = l× b
⇒ Area = (19.1 × 10-3m) × (15.2× 10-3m)
