JEE Main 2021 March 18th Shift 2 Physics Question Paper

Section – A

Question 1. The decay of a proton to neutron is:

a. Not possible as proton mass is less than the neutron mass
b. Always possible as it is associated only with β⁺ decay
c. Possible only inside the nucleus
d. Not possible but neutron to proton conversion is possible

Answer: (d)

Positron emission or Beta plus decay is a subtype of radioactive decay called Beta decay, in which a proton inside a radionuclide nucleus is converted into a neutron while releasing a positron and an electron neutrino. So, the decay of a proton to a neutron is possible only inside the nucleus.

Question 2: An object of mass m1 collides with another object of mass m₂, which is at rest. After the collision, the objects move at equal speeds in opposite directions. The ratio of the masses m₂: m₁ is:

a. 2: 1
b. 1: 1
c. 1: 2
d. 3: 1

Answer: (d)

JEE 2021 March 18th Shift 2 Physics

From the conservation of linear momentum;

P_i = P_f

⇒m₁u₁+m₂(0)=m₁(-v)+m₂v

⇒m₁u₁=v(m₂-m₁) …(i)

Since,

Since, e=1= (V_sep/V_app) =v-(-v)/u₁=2v/u₁

⇒ u₁=2v …(ii)

from (i) & (ii)

m₁(2v)=v(m₂-m₁)

⇒2m₁=m₂– m₁

⇒3m₁=m₂

⇒ m₂/m₁=3/1

Question 3. A plane electromagnetic wave propagating along y-direction can have the following pair of electric field (

\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{E}\end{array} \)

)and magnetic field (
\(\begin{array}{l}\vec{B}\end{array} \)
) components.

a. E_x, B_z or E_z, B_x
b. E_y, B_x or E_x, B_y
c. E_x, B_y or Ey, Bx
d. Ey, By or Ez, Bz

Answer: (a)

JEE 2021 March 18th Shift 2 Physics Paper

Therefore,

\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{E}\times \hat{B}=\hat{C}\end{array} \)

for electromagnetic waves

Therefore,

\(\begin{array}{l}\hat{E}\times \hat{B}\end{array} \)

should point in the

direction of propagation of wave (y-direction here)

Therefore, the possible combinations are

(E_x , B_z) or (E_z , B_x)

Question 4: A solid cylinder of mass m is wrapped with an inextensible light string and is placed on a rough inclined plane as shown in the figure. The frictional force acting between the cylinder and the inclined plane is :

JEE 2021 March 18th Shift 2 Physics Question Paper

[The coefficient of static friction, μ_s, is 0.4]

a. 72mg
b. 0
c. mg/5
d. 5 mg

Answer: (c)

JEE 2021 March 18th Shift 2 Physics Question Paper with Answers

Let’s assume equilibrium condition of cylinder

Therefore, T+f= mgsin60° ….(i)

& T_R – f_R = 0 ….(ii)

from (i) & (ii)

T=f_req=mgsin60°/2

But limiting friction < required friction.

Therefore, μmgcos60° <mgsin60°/2

Therefore, Cylinder won’t be in equilibrium

f will be kinetic

Since the coefficient of kinetic friction is not mentioned, we assume

coefficient of kinetic friction = coefficient of static friction.

& f = μK N

=μ_kmgcos60°

=0.4×mg×(½)=mg/5

Question 5. An ideal gas in a cylinder is separated by a piston in such a way that the entropy of one part is S₁ and that of the other part is S₂. Given that S₁ > S₂. If the piston is removed then the total entropy of the system will be:

a. S₁ + S₂
b. S₁ – S₂
c. S₁ × S₂
d. S₁/S₂

Answer: (a)

Physics Question Paper with Answers JEE 2021 March 18th Shift 2

for gas 1 , S₁= (f/2n₁R)

for gas 2, S₂=(f/2n₂R} identical gas, so f will be the same.

after removal of piston,

s= f/2(n₁+n₂)R=S₁+S₂

Question 6. The time taken for the magnetic energy to reach 25% of its maximum value, when a solenoid of resistance R, inductance L is connected to a battery, is :

a. (L/R)ln2
b. (L/R)ln10
c. Infinite
d. (L/R)ln5

Answer: (a)

Magnetic energy, U=(½)LI², when the current in the circuit is I.

→ When the circuit has maximum current,

Maximum value of Magnetic energy, U₀=(½)LI₀²

Given : U = 25% of U₀.

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{2}LI^{2}=\frac{1}{4}\times \frac{1}{2}LI_{0}^{2}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}I^{2}=\frac{I_{0}^{2}}{4}\Rightarrow I=\frac{I_{0}}{2}\end{array} \)

Therefore, I = I₀(1 – e^-t/τ)

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{I_{0}}{2}=I_{0}(1-e^{-t/\tau })\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{2}=-e^{-t/\tau }\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow e^{t/\tau }=2\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow t=\tau ln2\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow t=\frac{L}{R} ln2\end{array} \)

Question 7. For an adiabatic expansion of an ideal gas, the fractional change in its pressure is equal to (where λ is the ratio of specific heats) :

\(\begin{array}{l}-\gamma \frac{dV}{V}\end{array} \)

b. dV/V
c.

\(\begin{array}{l}-\frac{1}{\gamma } \frac{dV}{V}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}-\gamma \frac{V}{dV}\end{array} \)

Answer: (a)

For adiabatic expansion :

PV^γ=const.

⇒lnP+γlnV=const.

⇒ differentiating both sides;

(dP/P) + γ(dV/V)=0

⇒dP/P=-γ(dV/V)

Question 8. The correct relation between α (ratio of collector current to emitter current) and β (ratio of collector current to base current) of a transistor is :

\(\begin{array}{l}\alpha =\frac{\beta }{1+\beta }\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\alpha =\frac{\beta }{1-\alpha }\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\beta =\frac{1 }{1-\alpha }\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\beta =\frac{\alpha}{1+\alpha }\end{array} \)

Answer: (a)

\(\begin{array}{l}\alpha =\frac{I_{C}}{I_{E}}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\beta =\frac{I_{C}}{I_{B}}\end{array} \)

Since, I_E = I_B + I_C

Therefore,

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{I_{E}}{I_{C}}=\frac{I_{B}}{I_{C}}+\frac{I_{C}}{I_{C}}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{1}{\alpha }=\frac{1}{\beta }+1=\frac{1+\beta }{\beta }\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \alpha =\frac{\beta }{1+\beta }\end{array} \)

Question 9. In a series LCR circuit, the inductive reactance (X_L) is 10 Ω and the capacitive reactance (X_C) is 4 Ω. The resistance (R) in the circuit is 6 Ω. Find the power factor of the circuit.

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}\end{array} \)

c. ½
d.

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}\end{array} \)

Answer: (a)

Given : X_L = 10 Ω

X_C = 4 Ω

R = 6 Ω

Therefore,

\(\begin{array}{l}Power factor = cos \theta = R/Z\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}= \frac{R}{\sqrt{R^{2}+(X_{L}-X_{C})^{2}}}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}= \frac{6}{\sqrt{6^{2}+(10-4)^{2}}}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}= \frac{6}{6\sqrt{2}}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}= \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\end{array} \)

Question 10. A proton and an α-particle, having kinetic energies K_p and K_α respectively, enter into a magnetic field at right angles. The ratio of the radii of the trajectory of proton to that α-particle is 2: 1. The ratio of K_P: K_α is :

a. 1 : 8
b. 1 : 4
c. 8 : 1
d. 4 : 1

Answer: (d)

Since,

\(\begin{array}{l}r = \frac{mv}{qB}=\frac{p}{qB}\end{array} \)

And

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{m_{a}}{m_{p}}=\frac{4}{1}\end{array} \)

Since,

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{r_{p}}{r_{\alpha }}=\frac{P_{p}}{P_{\alpha }}.\frac{q_{\alpha }}{q_{p}}=\frac{2}{1}\end{array} \)

\(\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{P_{p}}{P_{\alpha }}=\frac{2q_{p}}{q_{\alpha }}=2\left ( \frac{1}{2} \right )=1\end{array} \)

Now,

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{K_{p}}{K_{\alpha }}=\left ( \frac{P_{p}}{P_{\alpha }} \right )^{2}.\frac{m_{\alpha }}{m_{p}}=1\times 4=4\end{array} \)

Question 11. The function of time representing a simple harmonic motion with a period of π/ω is :

b. 3cos(π/4-2ωt)
c. sin²(ωt)
d. sin(ωt) + cos(ωt)

Answer: (b)

For expression, 3cos(π/4-2ωt)

Angular frequency =2ω

Time period, T = 2π(2ω)= π/ω

Question 15. Three rays of light, namely red (R), green (G) and blue (B) are incident on the face PQ of a right angled prism PQR as shown in the figure.

Physics Answers JEE 2021 March 18th Shift 2

The refractive indices of the material of the prism for red, green and blue wavelengths are 1.27, 1.42 and 1.49 respectively. The colour of the ray(s) emerging out of the face PR is:

a. Blue
b. Green
c. Red
d. Blue and green

Answer: (c)

Physics Answers JEE 2021 March 18th Shift 2

For TIR, at face PR, i = 45°

& i > C ⇒ 45°>C

sin c = 1/μ

⇒ c=sin^-1(1/μ)

μ > 2

μ > 1.414

∴ μ_G and μ_B are more than μ.

∴ only red will come out.
