Question 3: A square loop of side 2a, and carrying current I, is kept in XZ plane with its centre at the origin. A long wire carrying the same current I is placed parallel to the z-axis and passing through the point (0, b, 0), (b > > a). The magnitude of the torque on the loop about the z-axis is given by:

  1. 1) 2μ0I2a3 / πb2
  2. 2) μ0I2a3 / 2πb2
  3. 3) 2μ0I2a2 / πb
  4. 4) μ0I2a3 / 2πb

Solution:

  1. Answer: (3)

    M = I2 (2a)2 = 4a2 I2 (magnetic moment)

    B = μ0I2 / 2πb

    𝜏 = MB sin θ

    Solved JEE Main 2020 Physics Paper Shift 1 Sept 5

    θ is the angle between B and M [θ = 90°]

    𝜏 = 4 (a2I2) [μ0I1 / 2πb]

    𝜏 = [2μ0I1I2a2 / πb] = [2μ0I2a2 / πb]

Question 4: Assume that the displacement (s) of air is proportional to the pressure difference (Δp) created by a sound wave. Displacement(s) further depends on the speed of sound (v), the density of air (⍴) and the frequency (f). If Δp ~ 10Pa, v ~ 300 m/s, ⍴ ~ 1 kg / m3 and f ~ 1000 Hz, then s will be of the order of (take the multiplicative constant to be 1)

  1. 1) 1 mm
  2. 2) 10 mm
  3. 3) 1 / 10 mm
  4. 4) 3 / 100 mm

Solution:

  1. Answer: (4)

    S0 = ΔP / βK = (ΔP) / [(⍴v2) * (ω / v)] = (ΔP) / (⍴vω) = (ΔP) / (⍴v2πf)

    ∴ Proportionally constant = 1

    S0 = ΔP / (⍴vf)

    = {10 / [1 × 300 × 1000]} m

    = [10 / 300] mm

    = 3 / 90

    = 3 / 100 mm

Question 7: A bullet of mass 5 g, travelling with a speed of 210 m/s, strikes a fixed wooden target. One half of its kinetic energy is converted into heat in the bullet while the other half is converted into heat in the wood. The rise of temperature of the bullet if the specific heat of its material is 0.030 cal/(g – °C) (1 cal = 4.2 × 107 ergs) close to:

  1. 1) 38.4°C
  2. 2) 87.5°C
  3. 3) 83.3°C
  4. 4)119.2°C

Solution:

  1. Answer: (2)

    [(1 / 2) mv2] × (1 / 2) = msΔT s = 0.03 cal/gm°C

    v2 / 4 = 126 × ΔT = [[0.03 × 4.2J] / 10-3]

    v2 = 4 × 126 × ΔT = 126 J/kgoC

    (210)2 = 4 × 126 × ΔT

    210 × 210 = 4 × 126 × ΔT

    44100 = 504 × ΔT

    ΔT = 44100 / 504 = 87.5°C

Question 8: A wheel is rotating freely with an angular speed on a shaft. The moment of inertia of the wheel is I and the moment of inertia of the shaft is negligible. Another wheel of the moment of inertia 3I initially at rest is suddenly coupled to the same shaft. The resultant fractional loss in the kinetic energy of the system is:

  1. 1) 3 / 4
  2. 2) 0
  3. 3) 5 / 6
  4. 4) 1 / 4

Solution:

  1. Answer: (1)

    ki = (1 / 2) Iω2

    kf = (1 / 2) 4I (ω’)2

    = 2I (ω / 4)2 = (1 / 8) Iω2

    A.M.C

    Iω = (I + 3I) ω’

    ω’ = Iω / 4I = ω / 4

    = [Ki - Kf] / [Ki] ⇒ [{(1 / 2) Iω2 - (1 / 8) Iω2} / {(1 / 2) Iω2}]

    = (3 / 8) Iω2 / (1 / 2) Iω2

    = 3 / 4

Question 9: A balloon is moving up in air vertically above a point A on the ground. When it is at a height h1, a girl standing at a distance d(point B) from A (see figure) sees it at an angle 45° with respect to the vertical. When the balloon climbs up a further height h2, it is seen at an angle 60° with respect to the vertical if the girl moves further by a distance 2.464 d (point C). Then the height h2 is (given tan 30° = 0.5774):

JEE Main 2020 Physics Paper Shift 1 Sept 5 Question 9

  1. 1) 0.464 d
  2. 2) d
  3. 3) 0.732 d
  4. 4) 1.464 d

Solution:

  1. Answer: (2)

    JEE Main 2020 Physics Paper Shift 1 Sept 5 Solutions

    △ABD

    tan 45 = h1 / d

    ⇒ 1 = h1 / d ⇒ h1 = d

    △ACE

    tan 30 = [h1 + h2] / [d + 2.464d]

    0.5774 = [d + h2] / 3.464d

    d + h2 = 0.5774 × 3.464 × d

    h2 = 2.0001136d – d

    h2 = 2.000d – d = d

Question 10: An electrical power line, having a total resistance of 2Ω, delivers 1 kW at 220 V. The efficiency of the transmission line is approximately:

  2. 2) 91 %
  3. 3) 85%
  4. 4) 96%

Solution:

  1. Answer: (4)

    ? = {[Pout] / [Pout + Ploss]} * 100

    I = P / V = 100 / 220 = (5 / 11) A

    Ploss = I2R

    = (50 / 11)2 * 2 = 41.322

    ? = {[1000] / [1000 + 41.322]} * 100

    ? = 96%

    JEE Main 2020 Physics Paper Shift 1 Sept 5 Solutions

    R = R0e-λt

    (λ = slope of the graph)

    λA = (6 / 10) = (ln 2) / TA

    λB = 6 / 5 = (ln 2) / TB

    λC = 2 / 5 = (ln 2) / TC

    TA = (5 / 3) ln 2

    TB = (5 / 6) ln 2

    TC = (5 / 2) ln 2

    T(A) : T(B) : T(C) = (1 / 3) : (1 / 6) : (1 / 2)

    = 2 : 1 : 3

Question 12: The value of the acceleration due to gravity is g1 at a height h = R / 2 (R = radius of the earth) from the surface of the earth. It is again equal to g1 at a depth d below the surface of the earth. The ratio (d / R) equals :

  1. 1) 4 / 9
  2. 2) 1 / 3
  3. 3) 5 / 9
  4. 4) 7 / 9

Solution:

  1. Answer: (3)

    gat high = gat depth

    gsurface = GM / R2

    g (1 - [d / R]) = GM / (R + h)2

    g (1 - [d / R]) = GM / [R2 (1 + (h / R))2] = g / (1 + [R / 2R])2 = 4g / 9

    d / R = 1 - (4 / 9) = 5 / 9

Question 13: A hollow spherical shell at outer radius R floats just submerged under the water surface. The inner radius of the shell is r. If the specific gravity of the shell material is 27 / 8 w.r.t water, the value of r is:

  1. 1) 4 / 9 R
  2. 2) 8 / 9 R
  3. 3) 1 / 3 R
  4. 4) 2 / 3 R

Solution:

    (displaced (where mater present)

    water)

    (4 / 3) πR3 = [⍴B / ⍴l] [(4 / 3) πR3 - (4 / 3) πr3]

    R3 = (27 / 8) (R3 - r3)

    (8 / 27) R3 = (R3 - r3) ⇒ r3 = R3 - [8R3 / 27] = [19 / 27] R3

    r = [(19)⅓ / 3] R ≈ 0.88 ≈ (8 / 9) R

Question 14: In a resonance tube experiment when the tube is filled with water up to a height of 17.0 cm from the bottom, it resonates with a given tuning fork.

  1. 1) 2200 Hz
  2. 2) 550 Hz
  3. 3) 3300 Hz
  4. 4) 1100 Hz

Solution:

  1. Answer: (1)

    JEE Main 2020 Physics Paper Shift 1 Sept 5 Question 14

    l1 = 17

    l2 = 24.5

    v = 2f (l1 - l2)

    330 = 2 x f (24 - 17) x 10–2

    165 = f × 7.5 × 10–2

    f = [165 × 100] / 7.5

    f = 2200 Hz

    Question 16: A galvanometer of resistance G is converted into a voltmeter of range 0 – 1V by connecting a resistance R1 in series with it. The additional resistance that should be connected in series with R1 to increase the range of the voltmeter to 0 – 2V will be:

    1. 1) G
    2. 2) R1
    3. 3) R1 – G
    4. 4) R1 + G

    Solution:

    1. Answer: (4)

      V = I (R1 + G)

      (1 / 2) = [(I (R1 + G)] ---- (i) / [(I (R1 + R2 + G)] ---- (ii)

      (1 / 2) = [(R1 + G)] / [(R1 + R2 + G)]

                |u0| = 5 / 4 = 50 / 40 = n / 40

                n = 50

              Question 25: A force F = (i + 2j + 3k) N acts at a point (4i + 3j - k) m. Then the magnitude of torque about the point (i + 2j + k) m will be √x N – m. The value of x is ______.

                Solution:

                1. Answer: 195

                  𝜏 = r × F = (3i + j - 2k) (i + 2j + 3k)

                  = JEE Main 2020 Physics Paper Shift 1 Sept 5 Question 25

                  = i (3 + 4) - j (9 + 2) + k (6 - 1)

                  𝜏 = 7i - 11j + 5k

                  |𝜏| = √49 + 121+ 25 = √195

                  x = 195
