Solutions for JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 2 Physics Question Paper

W x (L/2) + αW x L = T x (1/√2) x L

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow T = \sqrt{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}+\alpha \right )W\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}T\times \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}+F_{v}= W+\alpha W\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{W}{2}+\alpha W+F_{v}= W+\alpha W\end{array} \)

F_v = W/2

At α = ½,

\(\begin{array}{l}T = \sqrt{2}\left ( \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2} \right )W\end{array} \)

= √2W

F_H(at α = ½) = √2W x ½ = W

At α = 1.5, T = √2 x (½ + 3/2) W = 2√2W

The angle of incidence is chosen such that the incident light rays will have minimum deviation if n₁ = n₂= n = 1.5. For the case of unequal refractive indices, n₁ = n and n₂ = n + Δn (where Δn << n), the angle of emergence e = i + Δe. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) correct?

Solved Paper of JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 2 Physics

a. The value of Δe (in radians) is greater than that of Δn
b. Δe is proportional to Δn
c. Δe lies between 2.0 and 3.0 milliradians if Δn = 2.8 × 10^–3
d. Δe lies between 1.0 and 1.6 milliradians if Δn = 2.8 × 10^–3

Answer: (b, c)

Answer Paper of JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 2 Physics

For n₁ = n₂ = n = 1.5,

r = 30º

Therefore, sin i = 1.5 × sin (30º) = 3/4

⇒ sin e = 3/4 for n₁ = n₂

Now, r′ = 30º and n₂ = n + Δn

n₂ x sin (r’) = 1 x sin e

⇒ Δn₂x sin 30⁰= cos e x Δe

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \Delta e = \frac{(\Delta n)\times \frac{1}{2}}{\sqrt{1-\frac{9}{16}}}= \frac{2}{\sqrt{7}}\Delta n\end{array} \)

⇒ Δe < Δn and, Δe ∝ Δn

At Δn = 2.8 × 10^–3, Δe = 2.12 × 10^–3 rad

b.

\(\begin{array}{l}\left | \vec{B}(x,y) \right |\end{array} \)

points normally outward from the xy-plane for all the points between the two loops

Answer: (a, b)

A magnetic field due to a circular loop at any point in its plane will be perpendicular to the plane. Due to symmetry, it will depend only on the distance from the centre. The field will be in opposite direction inside and outside the loop. The field may be non-zero for r < R, as it is in opposite direction due to both the loops.

A soft plastic bottle, filled with water of density 1 gm/cc, carries an inverted glass test tube with some air (ideal gas) trapped as shown in the figure. The test tube has a mass of 5 gm, and it is made of a thick glass of density 2.5 gm/cc. Initially, the bottle is sealed at atmospheric pressure p₀ = 10⁵Pa so that the volume of the trapped air is V₀ = 3.3 cc. When the bottle is squeezed from outside at a constant temperature, the pressure inside rises and the volume of the trapped air reduces. It is found that the test tube begins to sink at pressure p₀ + Δp without changing its orientation. At this pressure, the volume of the trapped air is V₀ – ΔV.

Let ΔV = X cc and Δp = Y × 10³ Pa.

Solution of Q. Nos. 7 & 8

JEE Advanced 2021 Paper 2 Physics Question Paper Solutions

When buoyant force on (tube + air) system will become equal to the weight of the tube then the tube will start sinking. (Here we can neglect weight of air as compared to weight of tube)

Now, Let volume of air in this case = V_air

F_B= mg

So, δ_w (V_tube + V_air) g = mg

⇒

\(\begin{array}{l}1\left ( \frac{5}{2.5}cm^{3}+V_{air} \right ) =5\end{array} \)

⇒ 2 + V_air = 5

V_air = 3 cm³

As initial volume of air = 3.3 cm³

So, ΔV = 0.3 cc

So, X = 0.30

As temperature of air is constant

So, PV = constant

P₀ 3.3 = P_f 3, P_f is final pressure of air

⇒ P_f = 1.1 P₀= P₀+ 0.1 P₀

So, ΔP = 10⁴ Pa

So, Y = 10

So, X = 0.30

Y = 10.00

A pendulum consists of a bob of mass m = 0.1 kg and a massless inextensible string of length L = 1.0 m. It is suspended from a fixed point at height H = 0.9 m above a frictionless horizontal floor. Initially, the bob of the pendulum is lying on the floor at rest vertically below the point of suspension. A horizontal impulse P = 0.2 kg-m/s is imparted to the bob at some instant. After the bob slides for some distance, the string becomes taut and the bob lifts off the floor. The magnitude of the angular momentum of the pendulum about the point of suspension just before the bob lifts off is J kg-m²/s. The kinetic energy of the pendulum just after the lift-off is K Joules.

Solution of Q. Nos. 11 & 12

Solutions for JEE Advanced 2021 Physics Paper 2

P = V²/2

⇒ 500 = 100²/R

⇒ R = 20 Ω

Now across resistance 500 = I × 100

⇒ I _rms = 5 A

V_rms= 200 V,

V_rms/real = 100 V

cos φ = 100/200 = ½ ⇒ Φ = 60⁰

tan Φ = X_C/ R = 1/ωRC

√3 = 1/100π(20)C

C = 1/(20π√3 x 100)

= 10^-4 F

Question Stem for Question Nos. 13 and 14

A special metal S conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of S, does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius a, with its centre at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment m is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance r (>> a) from the centre of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.

The magnitude of the magnetic field of a dipole m, at a point on its axis at distance r, is

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\mu _{0}m}{2\Pi r^{3}}\end{array} \)

, where μ₀ is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, m₁ and m₂, separated by a distance r on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is km₁m₂/r⁴, where k is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.

Question 13: When the dipole m is placed at a distance r from the centre of the loop (as shown in the figure), the current induced in the loop will be proportional to?

a. m/r³
b. m² /r²
c. m/r²
d. m²/r

Answer: (a)

Magnetic flux due to dipole through ring =

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\mu _{0}}{2\Pi }\times \frac{m}{r^{3}}\times \Pi a^{2}\end{array} \)

for net magnetic flux through the loop to be zero.

Magnetic flux due to dipole = Magnetic flux due to induced current

⇒

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\mu _{0}}{2\Pi }\times \Pi a^{2}\times \frac{m}{r^{3}}=l\times \Pi a^{2}\times \frac{k}{a}\end{array} \)

, where k is proportionality constant.

⇒ l∝ m/r³

Question 14: The work done in bringing the dipole from infinity to a distance r from the centre of the loop by the given process is proportional to?

a. m/r⁵
b. m² /r⁵
c. m² /r⁶
d. m² /r⁷

Answer: (c)

\(\begin{array}{l}F = \frac{km_{1}m_{2}}{r^{4}}=k(l\pi a^{2})\left ( \frac{m}{r^{4}} \right )\end{array} \)

F = C(m²/r⁷) where C is a constant obtained by substituting the value of I from Q.13

\(\begin{array}{l}\left | W \right |=\int_{\infty }^{r}Fdr=Cm^{2}\int_{\infty }^{r}\frac{dr}{r^{7}}=\frac{C’m^{2}}{r^{6}}\end{array} \)

where C′ is a constant

\(\begin{array}{l}\left | W \right |\propto \frac{m^{2}}{r^{6}}\end{array} \)

A thermally insulating cylinder has a thermally insulating and frictionless movable partition in the middle, as shown in the figure below. On each side of the partition, there is one mole of an ideal gas, with specific heat at constant volume, C_V = 2R. Here, R is the gas constant. Initially, each side has a volume V₀ and temperature T₀. The left side has an electric heater, which is turned on at very low power to transfer heat Q to the gas on the left side. As a result, the partition moves slowly towards the right, reducing the right side volume to V₀ /2. Consequently, the gas temperatures on the left and the right sides become T_L and T_R, respectively. Ignore the changes in the temperatures of the cylinder, heater and partition.

Question 16: The value of Q/RT₀ is

a. 4(2√2 +1)
b. 4(2√2 -1)
c. (5√2 +1)
d. (5√2 -1)

Answer: (b)

Q = ΔU₁ + ΔU₂

ΔU₁= C_VΔT₁ = 2R(T_L – T₀)

ΔU₂ = C_VΔT₂= 2R(T_R – T₀)

T _L = 3√2T₀ , T_R= √2T₀

Q = 2R[3√2 -1]T₀+ 2R(√2 -1]T₀

Q = 4RT₀[2√2 -1]
