a. 𝜇𝑜𝑖/2𝜋𝑅 [𝜋 −/1√2]
b. 𝜇𝑜𝑖/2𝜋𝑅[𝜋 + 1]

JEE Main 2020 Jan Shift 2 Physics Solutions

To get magnetic field at O, we need to find magnetic field due to each current carrying part 1, 2, 3 and 4 individually Let’s take total magnetic field as 𝐵𝑇, then

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{B_{T}}=\vec{B_{1}}+\vec{B_{2}}+\vec{B_{3}}+\vec{B_{4}}\end{array} \)

Since 2 and 4 are parts of same wire, hence

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{B_{T}}\end{array} \)
= (𝜇𝑜𝑖/4𝜋𝑅)(sin 90° − sin 45°) (−
\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{k}\end{array} \)
) + 𝜇𝑜𝑖/2𝑅
\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{k}\end{array} \)
+ 𝜇𝑜𝑖/4𝜋𝑅(sin 90° + sin 45°)
\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{k}\end{array} \)

= (−𝜇𝑜𝑖/4𝜋𝑅) [1 −1/√2] +𝜇𝑜𝑖/2𝑅 +𝜇𝑜𝑖/4𝜋𝑅 [1 +1/√2]

\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{k}\end{array} \)

= (𝜇𝑜𝑖/4𝜋𝑅)[√2 + 2𝜋]

\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{k}\end{array} \)

= (𝜇𝑜𝑖/2𝜋𝑅) [1/√2+ 𝜋]

\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{k}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{k}\end{array} \)
denotes that direction of magnetic field is in the plane coming out of the plane of

current.

Answer: (d)

2. A particle moves such that its position
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r(t)}=cos\omega t\hat{i}+sin\omega t\hat{j}\end{array} \)
, where 𝜔 is a constant and 𝑡 is time. Then which of the following statements is true for the velocity
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{v}\end{array} \)
and acceleration
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}\end{array} \)
(𝑡) of the particle?

a.
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{v}\end{array} \)
and
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}\end{array} \)
both are perpendicular to
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r}\end{array} \)

b.
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{v}\end{array} \)
and
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r}\end{array} \)
both are parallel to
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r}\end{array} \)

c.
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{v}\end{array} \)
is perpendicular to
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r}\end{array} \)
and
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}\end{array} \)
is directed away from the origin

d.
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{v}\end{array} \)
is perpendicular to
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r}\end{array} \)
and
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}\end{array} \)
is directed towards the origin

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r(t)}=cos\omega t\hat{i}+sin\omega t\hat{j}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r(t)}=(dr/dt)= \omega[-sin\omega t\hat{i}+cos\omega \hat{j}\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}=(d\vec{v}/dt)=-\omega^{2}[cos\omega t\hat{i}+sin\omega \hat{j}]\end{array} \)
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{a}=(d\vec{v}/dt)=-\omega^{2}\vec{r}\end{array} \)

Since there is negative sign in acceleration, this means that acceleration is in opposite direction of r⃗. For velocity direction we can take dot product of v and r.

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{v}.\vec{r}=\omega (-sin\omega t\hat{i}+cos\omega t\hat{j} )(cos\omega t\hat{i}+sin\omega t\hat{j})\end{array} \)

= 𝜔[−sin 𝜔𝑡 cos 𝜔𝑡 + cos 𝜔𝑡 sin 𝜔𝑡] = 0

This implies that

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{v}\end{array} \)
is perpendicular to
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{r}\end{array} \)

3. Consider two charged metallic spheres 𝑆1 and 𝑆2 of radii 𝑟1 and 𝑟2, respectively. The electric fields 𝐸1(on 𝑆1) and 𝐸2(on 𝑆2) on their surfaces are such that 𝐸1/𝐸2 = 𝑟1/ 𝑟2. Then the ratio 𝑉1(on 𝑆1)/𝑉2(on 𝑆2) of the electrostatic potentials on each sphere is
a. 𝑟1/𝑟2
b. (𝑟1/𝑟2)2
c. 𝑟2/𝑟1
d. (𝑟1/𝑟2)3

𝐸1/𝐸2 = 𝑟1/𝑟2

𝑉1/𝑉2 =𝐸1𝑟1/𝐸2𝑟2 = (𝑟1/𝑟2) × (𝑟1/𝑟2)

= (𝑟1/𝑟2)2

Answer: (b)

4. A transverse wave travels on a taut steel wire with a velocity of 𝑉 when tension in it is 2.06 × 104 𝑁. When the tension is changed to 𝑇, the velocity changed to 𝑉/2. The value of 𝑇 is close to
a. 30.5 × 104 𝑁
b. 2.50 × 104 𝑁
c. 10.2 × 102 𝑁
d. 5.15 × 103 𝑁

𝑉 ∝ √𝑇

𝑉1 /𝑉2 = √ 𝑇1/ 𝑇2

⇒ 2𝑉/ 𝑉 = √ (2.06 × 104 ) /𝑇

⇒ 𝑇 = 2.06 × 104/4 𝑁 = 5.15 × 103 N

Answer: (d)

5. A particle of mass 𝑚 is dropped from a height ℎ above the ground. At the same time another particle of the same mass is thrown vertically upwards from the ground with a speed of √2𝑔ℎ. If they collide head-on completely inelastically, the time taken for the combined mass to reach the ground, in units of √ ℎ/𝑔 is
a. √3/2
b. √1/2
c. 1/2
d. √3/4

JEE Main 2020 Jan Shift 2 Solved Paper for Physics

Time taken for the collision 𝑡1 =ℎ/√2𝑔ℎ

After 𝑡1

𝑉𝐴 = 0 – 𝑔𝑡1 = −√𝑔ℎ/2

And 𝑉𝐵 = √2𝑔ℎ – 𝑔𝑡1 = √𝑔ℎ [√2 –1/√2]

At the time of collision

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{P_{i}}=\vec{P_{f}}\end{array} \)

Hence,

\(\begin{array}{l}m\vec{V_{A}}+m\vec{V_{B}}=m\vec{V_{f}}\end{array} \)

Therefore, − (√𝑔ℎ/2) + (√𝑔ℎ [√2–1/√2]) =

\(\begin{array}{l}2\vec{V_{f}}\end{array} \)

𝑉𝑓 = 0

And height from the ground = ℎ − (1/2)𝑔 𝑡12 = ℎ – ℎ/4 =3ℎ/4

So, time taken to reach ground after collision = √2 ×[(3ℎ/4)/𝑔]

= √3ℎ/2𝑔

Answer: (b)

6. A Carnot engine having an efficiency of 1/10 is being used as a refrigerator. If the work done on the refrigerator is 10 J, the amount of heat absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature is
a. 99 J
b. 90 J
c. 1 J
d. 100 J

For Carnot engine using as refrigerator

Work done on engine is given by

𝑊 = 𝑄1 − 𝑄2 … (1)

Where, 𝑄1 is heat rejected to the reservoir at higher temperature and 𝑄2 is the heat absorbed from the reservoir at lower temperature.

It is given = 1/10

𝜂 = 1 − 𝑄2/𝑄1

⟹ 𝑄2/ 𝑄1 = 9/10 ….. (2)

We are given, 𝑊 = 10 J

Therefore, from equations (1) and (2), 𝑄2 = 10/((10/9)– 1)

⇒ 𝑄2 = 90 J

Answer: (b)

7. Two liquids of density 𝜌1 and 𝜌2 (𝜌2 = 2𝜌1) are filled up behind a square wall of side 10 𝑚 as shown in figure. Each liquid has a height of 5 𝑚. The ratio of forces due to these liquids exerted on the upper part MN to that at the lower part NO is (Assume that the liquids are not mixing)
JEE Main 2020 Jan Shift 2 Physics Solved Papers

a. 2/3
b. 1/2
c. 1/4
d. 1/ 3

Solved Physics Paper for JEE Main 2020 Jan Shift 2

The net force exerted on the wall by one type of liquid will be average value of pressure due to that liquid multiplied by the area of the wall.

Here, since the pressure due a liquid of uniform density varies linearly with depth, its average will be just the mean value of pressure at the top and pressure at the bottom.

So,

𝑃1 = 0

𝑃2 = 𝜌𝑔 × 5

𝑃3 = 5𝜌𝑔 + 2𝜌𝑔 × 5

𝐹1 = [(𝑃1 + 𝑃2)/2]𝐴

𝐹2 = [(𝑃2 + 𝑃3)/2) 𝐴

So,

𝐹1/𝐹2 = ¼

Answer: (c)

8. As shown in figure, when a spherical cavity (centered at O) of radius 1 m is cut out of a uniform sphere of radius 𝑅 (centered at C ), the center of mass of remaining (shaded) part of sphere is shown by COM, i.e. on the surface of the cavity. R can be determined by the equation
JEE Main 2020 Solved Papers Physics for Jan Shift 2

a. (𝑅 2 + 𝑅 + 1)(2 − 𝑅) = 1
b. (𝑅 2 − 𝑅 − 1)(2 − 𝑅) = 1
c. (𝑅 2 − 𝑅 + 1)(2 − 𝑅) = 1
d. (𝑅 2 + 𝑅 − 1)(2 − 𝑅) = 1

Physics Jan Shift 2 JEE Main Practice Paper 2020

Let 𝑀 be the mass of the sphere and 𝑀’ be the mass of the cavity.

Mass of the remaining part of the sphere = 𝑀 – 𝑀’

Mass moments of the cavity and the remaining part of sphere about the original COM should add up to zero.

(𝑀 − 𝑀′ )(2 − 𝑅) − 𝑀′ (𝑅 − 1) = 0

(Mass of the cavity to be taken negative)

⇒ (4/3) 𝜋(𝑅 3 − 13 )𝜌𝑔 (2 − 𝑅) = (4/3) 𝜋(1) 3𝜌𝑔(𝑅 − 1)

⇒ (𝑅 3 − 1 3)(2 − 𝑅) = (1 3 )(𝑅 − 1)

⇒ (𝑅 2 + 𝑅 + 1)(𝑅 − 1)(2 − 𝑅) = (𝑅 − 1)

(using identity) ⇒ (𝑅 2 + 𝑅 + 1)(2 − 𝑅) = 1

Answer: (a)

10. A galvanometer having a coil resistance 100 Ω gives a full scale deflection when a current of 1 mA is passed through it. What is the value of the resistance which can convert this galvanometer into voltmeter giving full scale deflection for a potential difference of 10 V? In full scale deflection, current in galvanometer of resistance is 1 𝑚𝐴. Resistance required in series to convert it into voltmeter of range 10 𝑉.
a. 7.9 𝑘Ω
b. 9.9 𝑘Ω
c. 8.9 𝑘Ω
d. 10 𝑘Ω

𝑉0 = 𝑖𝑔 𝑅𝑔 = 0.1 𝑣

𝑣 = 10 𝑉

𝑅 = 𝑅𝑔 ((𝑣/𝑣𝑔) − 1) = 100 × 99 = 9.9 𝑘Ω

Answer: (b)

11. Consider a mixture of 𝑛 moles of helium gas and 2𝑛 moles of oxygen gas (molecules taken to be rigid) as an ideal gas. Its (𝐶𝑝/𝐶𝑣) value will be
a. 67/45
b. 40/27
c. 19/13
d. 23/15

Using formula 𝐶𝑣𝑚𝑖𝑥 = (𝑛1𝐶𝑣1 + 𝑛2𝐶𝑣2)/(𝑛1 + 𝑛2)

𝐶𝑣𝑚𝑖𝑥 = (𝑛× (3𝑅/2) +2𝑛× (5𝑅/2))/3𝑛 = 13𝑅/6

(∵ 𝐻𝑒 is monoatomic and 𝑂2 is diatomic)

𝐶𝑝𝑚𝑖𝑥 = 𝐶𝑣𝑚𝑖𝑥 + 𝑅 = 19𝑅/6

∴ 𝛾𝑚𝑖𝑥 = 𝐶𝑝𝑚𝑖𝑥 /𝐶𝑣𝑚𝑖𝑥 = 19/13

Answer: (c)

𝑘 is radius of gyration.

14. In a double-slit experiment, at a certain point on the screen the path difference between the two interfering waves is 1 8 𝑡ℎ of a wavelength. The ratio of the intensity of light at that point to that at the centre of a bright fringe is
a. 0.568
b. 0.853

d. 0.760

In YDSE, the intensity at a point on the screen varies with the phase difference between the interfering light waves as:

𝐼 = 𝐼0 𝑐𝑜𝑠2 ( ∆∅ 2 )

Here, ∆∅ = phase difference between the interfering waves

𝐼0 = maximum intensity on the screen

Magnitude of linear magnification, m= |− 𝑣/𝑥 |

From mirror formula,

𝜃1 + 2𝜃2 = 180…………… (1)

From third row of table,

Neglecting the effect of earth’s atmosphere, what will be the speed of the asteroid when it hits the surface of the earth (escape velocity from the earth is 12 𝑘𝑚/𝑠 )? Give your answer to the nearest integer in 𝑘𝑚/𝑠
