Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Current Electricity - Question 1

Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a nonzero value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a critical temperature TC(0). An interesting property of superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than TC (0) if they are placed in a magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature TC (B) is a function of the magnetic field strength B. The dependence of TC (B) on B is shown in the figure.

Q.1. In the graphs below, the resistance R of a superconductor is shown as a function of its temperature T for two different magnetic fields B1 (solid line) and B2 (dashed line). If B2 is larger than B1 which of the following graphs shows the correct variation of R with T in these fields?

 

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Current Electricity - Question 1

From the given graph it is clear that with increase of the magnitude of magnetic field (B), the critical temperature TC (B) decreases.
Given B2 > B1. Therefore for B2, the temperature at which the resistance becomes zero should be less. The above statement is true for graph (a).

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Current Electricity - Question 2

Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors, changes abruptly from a nonzero value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a critical temperature TC(0). An interesting property of superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than TC (0) if they are placed in a magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature TC (B) is a function of the magnetic field strength B. The dependence of TC (B) on B is shown in the figure.

Q.2.A superconductor has TC (0) = 100 K. When a magnetic field of 7.5 Tesla is applied, its TC decreases to 75 K. For this material one can definitely say that when

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Current Electricity - Question 2

We know that as B increases, TC decreases but the exact dependence is not known.
Given at B = 0, TC = 100 K and at B = 7.5T, TC  = 75 K ∴ At B = 5T, TC  should be between 75 K and 100 K.

Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Current Electricity - Question 3

STATEMENT-1 :  In a Meter Bridge experiment, null point for an unknown resistance is measured. Now, the unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure maintained at a higher temperature. The null point can be obtained at the same point as before by decreasing the value of the standard resistance.
STATEMENT-2 : Resistance of a metal increases with increase in temperature.

Detailed Solution for Test: JEE Main 35 Year PYQs- Current Electricity - Question 3

When the temperature of metal increases; its resistance increases.
Therefore statement - 2 is correct.

For a meter bridge when null point N is obtained we get

When the unknown resistance is put inside an enclosure, maintained at a high temperature, then X increases. To maintain the ratio of null point l should also increase. But if we want to keep the null point at the initial position (i.e., if we want no change in the value of l) there to maintain the ratio, S should be increased.
Therefore statement - 1 is false.
