JEE Main 2021 March 18th Shift 1 Physics Question Paper

Section – A

Question 1. In a series LCR resonance circuit, if we change the resistance only, from a lower to higher value :

a. The resonance frequency will increase
b. The quality factor will increase
c. The quality factor and the resonance frequency will remain constant
d. The bandwidth of the resonance circuit will increase

$$\begin{array}{l}\omega _{f}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{LC}}\end{array}$$
frequency will not change

$$\begin{array}{l}\begin{array}{l} Q=\frac{\omega L}{R} (R \uparrow Q \downarrow) \\ Q =\frac{\omega L}{R}=\frac{\omega}{\Delta B} \\ \Delta \mathrm{B}=\frac{R}{L} (R \uparrow \Delta B \uparrow) \end{array}\end{array}$$

So, the bandwidth of the resonance circuit will increase.

$$\begin{array}{l}\left ( -\frac{dN}{dt} \right )= N\lambda _{2}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\left ( \frac{dN}{dt} \right )= \left ( \frac{dN}{dt} \right )_{1}+\left ( \frac{dN}{dt} \right )_{2}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}N\lambda _{eff}=N\lambda _{1}+N\lambda _{2}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{T_{1/2}}=\frac{1}{T_{1/2}^{1}}+\frac{1}{T_{1/2}^{2}}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}T_{1/2}= \frac{T_{1/2}^{1}T_{1/2}^{2}}{T_{1/2}^{1}+T_{1/2}^{2}}\end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{l}V = I\left ( \frac{\rho l}{A} \right )\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\rho =\frac{VA}{Il}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}A = \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }=\frac{\Delta V}{V}+\frac{\Delta I}{I}+\frac{\Delta I}{I}+2\frac{\Delta d}{d}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }=\frac{0.1}{5}+\frac{0.01}{2}+\frac{0.1}{10}+2\frac{0.01}{5}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }= 0.02 + 0.005 + 0.01 + 0.004\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }= 0.039\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\Delta \rho }{\rho }\times 100= 0.039\times 100 = 3.9%\end{array}$$

$$\begin{array}{l}V=V_{0}sin\omega t= 220\sqrt{2}sin(100\pi t_{1})\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\omega = 2\pi f\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}200\sqrt{2}=220\sqrt{2}sin(100\pi t_{1})\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}1=sin(100\pi t_{1})\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\pi }{2}=100\pi t_{1}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}t_{1}=\frac{1}{200}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{200}{200\sqrt{2}}=sin(100\pi t_{2})\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\pi }{4}=100\pi t_{2}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}t_{2}=\frac{1}{400}\end{array}$$

Δt=t1– t2=(1/200) – (1/400)

Δt=(1/400) sec= 2.5 ms

IInd Method

So, Δt = T/8

Δt=1/(8×50) =1/400sec

Δt= 2.5  ms

$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\Delta g}{g}=\frac{\Delta l}{l}+\frac{2\Delta T}{T}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\Delta g}{g}=\frac{1\times 10^{-3}}{10\times 10^{-2}}+\frac{2\times 1}{100}\end{array}$$
$$\begin{array}{l}\frac{\Delta g}{g}= 0.01 + 0.02 = 0.03\end{array}$$

The value of ‘x’ to the nearest integer is

Mbullet = 0.1kg

v2 = 102 + 2(-a) × 0.5

0= (10)2 – 2a × (0.5)

Retardation (a) = 100/(2×0.5)=100m/s2

Retarding force (F) = ma = 0.1 × 100

F = 10N

Question 27. A ball of mass 10 kg moving with a velocity 10√ 3 m/s along the x-axis, hits another ball of mass 20 kg which is at rest. After the collision, the first ball comes to rest while the second ball disintegrates into two equal pieces. One-piece starts moving along the y-axis with a speed of 10 m/s. The second piece starts moving at an angle of 30o with respect to the x-axis. The velocity of the ball moving at 30o with x-axis is x m/s.The configuration of pieces after collision is shown in the figure below The value of x to the nearest integer is ______.

Before collision

In x – direction

Pi = 10×10√ 3 + 20 × 0

Pi = 100 √ 3 kg m/s

After collision

In x – direction

Pf = 10 × v2 cos30o

In y direction

Pf = 10 × 10 – 10 v2 sin 30o

Pf = 100 – 5v2

Apply momentum conservation in x-direction

Pi = pf

100√ 3=(10√ 3/2)v2

v2 = 20 m/s

So, answer is v2 = 20 m/s

Q0 = 30×10–6 C

C = 3×10–6 F

at t = 0,

$$\begin{array}{l}I = \frac{Q_{0}}{RC}e^{-0/RC}\end{array}$$

I = Q/RC = 30/(5 x 106 x 3) = 2 x 10-6 A

I = 2 μA
