Consider that in a fission of a single Plutonium ( $\mathrm{Pu}^{239}$ ) atom 207 MeV energy is released. Assuming all atoms of Plutonium undergo fission, which of the following options is the closest estimate of the amount of Plutonium req...

In the given circuit each of the resistors is of $1 \mathrm{k} \Omega$ resistance and each of the capacitors has $4 \mu \mathrm{~F}$ capacitance. What is the charge in the capacitor between the points B and F ?

A point mass $m$ attached to a massless string is undergoing circular motion in a vertical plane. The length of the string is $R$ and the acceleration due to gravity is $g$. If the minimum value of the tension in the string is 2 mg , the ma...

In the given circuit, the box $B$ either contains a capacitor, or an inductor or a resistor. The current $I$ versus time $t$ plots for three cases $\left(a_1, a_2, a_3\right)$ are shown in figures. The switch $S$ is closed at time $t=0$. Wh...

The figures in the options show the photocurrent $J$ of a photoelectric material versus the frequency $f$ of an incident light beam. The light beam can have three different intensities $I_1, I_2, I_3$, with $I_3>I_2>$ $I_1$. Which of the op...

Two uniformly charged concentric thin spherical shells of radii $r_1$ and $r_2$ have charges $+Q$ and $-Q$, respectively. How does the electrostatic potential vary with distance from the center of the shells?

A conducting sphere of radius $a$ initially contains a uniform volume charge density $\rho$. What is the electric flux $\Phi$ through a spherical surface of radius $2 a$ centered at a point on the surface of the charged sphere (see figure) ...

Consider a very long cylinder of radius $a$ having a uniform positive charge density $\rho$. A sphere of radius $a$ has been carved out (see figure), leaving no charge in that region. The distance radially outward to the cylinder, as measur...

A liquid of density $\rho$ in a container weighs $W$. A cubic block of side $L$ and density $\rho_b<\rho$ is pushed by a stick to completely submerge the block in the liquid without touching the bottom. If $g$ is the acceleration due to the...

A monoatomic ideal gas at pressure $P$ and volume $V$ is first adiabatically compressed to volume $V / 8$ and then is allowed to expand isothermally back to its original volume. What is the final pressure of the gas?

A particle experiences an acceleration $\vec{a}=\alpha \vec{v}$, where $\vec{v}$ is the velocity of the particle and $\alpha$ is a constant. If the distances traveled by the particle in the time intervals $t_2-t_1$ and $t_3-t_1$ are $S_{12}...

A thin lens made of material of refractive index $n_l$ forms the image at the position $I$ of a point object held at $O$ on the central axis of the lens, as is shown in the ray diagram below. Consider that the refractive index of the medium...

As shown in the figure a block is resting on a frictionless floor and is attached to the free end of a spring. The right edge of the block in equilibrium is at a distance $d$ from the wall. When the spring is compressed by a distance $d / 2...

A uniform taut string with two point charges $q$ and $-q$ attached to its ends passes over two massless pullies kept $L$ distance apart as shown in the fgure. If $f$ is the fundamental frequency of the part of the string over pullies, which...

An object is released from rest from the inner edge of a hemispherical bowl, and it falls under gravity. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the object and the bowl is $\mu$. If the object covers an angular displacement $\theta$ wit...
