1) 5.45 μc
2) 18.00 μc
3) 10.90 μc
4) 16.36 μc

Answer: (4)

JEE Main 2020 Paper Physics Shift 2 5th Sept Q13

(V – 6) × 2 + (V – 0) × 5 + (V – 6) 4 = 0

2V – 12 + 5V + 4V – 24 = 0

11V = 36

V = 36 / 11

q = CV = 5 × (36 / 11) = 16.36 μC

Question 14: A parallel plate capacitor has a plate of length ‘l’, width ‘w’ and separation of plates is ‘d’. It is connected to a battery of emf V.

At what length of the slab inside plates, will the energy stored in the capacitor be two times the initial energy stored?


1) 2l / 3
2) l / 2
3) l / 4
4) l / 3

Answer: (4)

JEE Main Solutions for 2020 Physics Shift 2 5th Sept Paper

area of plate = lw

C = ε0A / d = ε0lw / d

U1 = (1 / 2) cv2 = [(1 / 2) ε0lw / d] v2

Ceq = C1 + C2

When x length of the slab is inside the capacitor

JEE Main 2020 Paper Physics Shift 2 5th Sept Q14

Ceq = [ε0wxk / d] + [ε0w (l – x) / d]

Ceq = [ε0w / d] [kx + l – x]

Uf = (1 / 2) Ceq V2

Uf = 2Ui ⇒ (1 / 2) (ε0w / d) [kx + l – x] v2 = 2 * (1 / 2) (ε0w / d) v2

kx + l – x = 2l

4x – x = l

3x = l

x = l / 3

Question 15: A radioactive nucleus decays by two different processes. The half-life for the first process is 10 s and that for the second is 100 s. The effective half-life of the nucleus is close to:


1) 55 sec.
2) 6 sec.
3) 12 sec.
4) 9 sec.

Answer: (4)

T1 = 10 sec; λ1 = [ln 2 / T1]

T2 = 100 sec; λ2 = [ln 2 / T2], λeq = ln 2 / Teq

λeq = λ1 + λ2

(ln 2 / Teq) = (ln 2 / T1) + (ln 2 / T2)

(1 / Teq) = (1 / 10) + (1 / 100) = (10 + 1) / 100 = 11 / 100

Teq = 100 / 11 = 9 s

Question 16: A driver in a car, approaching a vertical wall, notices that the frequency of his car horn has changed from 440 Hz to 480 Hz when it gets reflected from the wall. If the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, then the speed of the car is:


1) 24 km/hr
2) 36 km/hr
3) 54 km/hr
4) 18 km/hr

Answer: (3)

The car as the source, wall as an observer.

f1 = {[v – 0] / [v – vc]} × f0 —- (i)

For reflected waves, the wall is a source, the driver is an observer.

JEE Main 2020 Paper Physics 5th Sept Shift 2

480 = {[v + vc] / [v – 0]} × f1 ⇒ {[v + vc] / [v] * [v] / [v – vc]} × f0

480 = [345 + VC] * [440 / (345 – VC)]

12 = {[345 + VC] / [345 – VC]} * 11

12 × 345 – 12 × VC = 345 × 11 + 11 VC

23VC = 4200 – 3850 = 345

VC = (345 / 23) m

VC = (345 / 23) * (18 / 5) km / h

= [70 * 18] / 23

= 54.78

= 54 km/hr

Question 17: An iron rod of volume 10–3m3 and relative permeability 1000 is placed as core in a solenoid with 10 turns/cm. If a current of 0.5 A is passed through the solenoid, then the magnetic moment of the rod will be:


1) 0.5 × 102 Am2
2) 50 × 102 Am2
3) 5 × 102 Am2
4) 500 × 102 Am2

Answer: (3)

M = μrNiA

Here μr

= Relative permeability

N = No. of turns

i = Current

A = Area of cross section

M = μrNiA = μrnℓiA

M = μrniV = 1000(1000) 0.5 (10-3)

= 500

= 5 × 102 Am2

Question 18: Two coherent sources of sound, S1 and S2, produce sound waves of the same wavelength, λ = 1 m, in phase. S1 and S2 are placed 1.5 m apart (see fig). A listener, located at L, directly in front of S2 finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is 2 m away from S2. The listener moves away from S1, keeping his distance from S2 fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance d from S1. Then, d is :

JEE Main 2020 Paper Physics 5th Sept Shift 2 Solution


1) 12 m
2) 2 m
3) 3 m
4) 5 m

Answer: (3)

JEE Main 2020 Paper Physics 5th Sept Shift 2 Solutions

For min at (L)

S1 L – S2 L = Δx = [λ / 2] (2n + 1);(n = 0, 12)

2.5 – 2 = [1 / 2] (2n + 1)

0.5 × 2 = (2n + 1)

2n = 0

n = 0 (first minima)

The adjacent maxima is the first maxima.

So at ‘p’ → first maxima

⇒ S1P – S2P = λ [n = 1] for first maxima

S1P – 2 = 1

S1P = 1 + 2

d = 3 m

Question 19: The quantities x = 1 / √μ0ε0, y = E / B and z = L / CR are defined where C – capacitance, R – Resistance, L – length, E – Electric field, B – magnetic field and ε0, μ0 – free space permittivity and permeability respectively. Then:


1) Only y and z have the same dimension
2) x, y and z have the same dimension
3) Only x and y have the same dimension
4) Only x and z have the same dimension

Answer: (2)

x = 1 / √μ0ε0 = (speed)

[x] = LT-1 y = E / B = speed

Z = l / CR = m / sec = m / s [y] = LT-1

[RC = T] [Z] = LT–1

So, x, y, z has the same dimension.

Question 20: The acceleration due to gravity on the earth’s surface at the poles is g and angular velocity of the earth about the axis passing through the pole is ω. An object is weighed at the equator and at a height h above the poles by using a spring balance. If the weights are found to be same, then h is : (h < < R, where R is the radius of the earth)


1) R2ω2 / g
2) R2ω2 / 8g
3) R2ω2 / 4g
4) R2ω2 / 2g

Answer: (4)

∵ The weight same at poles and at h (so g1 = g2)

g1 = g – Rω2

g2 = g [1 – (2h / R)]

∵ g1 = g2

g – Rω2 = g [1 – (2h / R)]

2 = 2gh / R

h = R2ω2 / 2g

Answer: 41

Vrms = √(3RT / M)

JEE Main 2020 Solved Paper Physics Shift 2 5th Sept Ques 21

√(3RT / 2) = √([3R * 573] / 28)

T / 2 = 573 / 28

T = 41 K

Question 22: The surface of a metal is illuminated alternately with photons of energies E1 = 4 eV and E2 = 2.5 eV respectively. The ratio of maximum speeds of the photoelectrons emitted in the two cases is 2. The work function of the metal in (eV) is _________.


Answer: 2

[(1 / 2)mV12] / [(1 / 2)mV22] = [E1 – ɸ0] / [E2 – ɸ0] = [4 – ɸ0] / [2.5 – ɸ0]

(V1 / V2)2 = [4 – ɸ0] / [2.5 – ɸ0]

(2)2 = [4 – ɸ0] / [2.5 – ɸ0]

10 – 4ɸ0 = 4 – ɸ0

0 = 10 – 4 = 6

ɸ0 = 2eV

Question 23: A prism of angle A = 1° has a refractive index μ = 1.5. A good estimate for the minimum angle of deviation (in degrees) is close to N / 10. Value of N is


Answer: 5

A = 1°

δ = (μ – 1) A

= (1.5 – 1) A

= 0.5 × 1

= 5 / 10 = N / 10 so N = 5

Question 24: A body of mass 2 kg is driven by an engine delivering a constant power of 1 J/s. The body starts from rest and moves in a straight line. After 9 seconds, the body has moved a distance (in m) _____________.


Answer: 18

P = Fv = mav

a = p / mv

dv / dt = p / mv

0u v dv = (p / m) ∫0t dt

u2 / 2 = (p / m) t

u = √(2p / m) * (√t)

dx / dt = √(2p / m) * (√t)

0x dx = √(2p / m) ∫09 √t dt

x = (2 / 3) [(9)½]3

= (2 / 3) * 27

x = 18

II-method

Pt = w = [1 / 2] mv2 – 0

1 × t = [1 / 2] × 2 × u2

u = √t

(dx / dt) = √t = ∫01 dx = ∫09 √t dt

x = [t3/2]09 / (3 / 2) = 18m
