Questions 1–6free, with explanations

1Physicsmotion of charged particle in uniform magnetic field

The path of a charged particle in a plane perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field is:

  1. A.Circular
  2. B.Helical
  3. C.Parabola
  4. D.Elliptical

Explanation

When a charged particle moves perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the velocity and provides a centripetal force. That constant perpendicular force makes the particle move in a circle at constant speed, so the path is circular.

2Physicsmagnetic force on stationary charge

Magnetic force acting on a charge at rest is:

  1. A.Zero
  2. B.Positive
  3. C.Negative
  4. D.Infinite

Explanation

Magnetic force on a charge is F = q(v × B), so if the charge is at rest (v = 0) the cross product is zero and no magnetic force acts. Therefore the magnetic force on a stationary charge is zero.

3Physicscyclotron frequency dependence

If mass of a charged particle is doubled, cyclotron frequency becomes:

  1. A.Doubled
  2. B.Halved
  3. C.Quadrupled
  4. D.One fourth

Explanation

Cyclotron frequency is ω = qB/m (or f = qB/2πm), so frequency is inversely proportional to mass. Doubling the particle's mass halves the cyclotron frequency.

4Physicsfield of infinite sheet of charge

Electric field intensity of infinite charge sheet:

  1. A.E = 2σ/ε0
  2. B.E = 1/ε0
  3. C.E = σ/ε0
  4. D.σ/(2ε0)

Explanation

An infinite charged plane produces a constant electric field on each side with magnitude E = σ/(2ε0), independent of distance, because Gauss's law gives equal flux through two faces of a Gaussian pillbox. Thus the correct expression is σ/(2ε0).

5Physicsradioactive stability and decay constant

Stability of radioactivity element is determined by:

  1. A.Decay constant
  2. B.Rate of the radioactive decay
  3. C.Time of decay
  4. D.Number of radioactive nuclei

Explanation

The decay constant (λ) quantifies how quickly nuclei decay: a larger λ means faster decay and less stability, while a small λ indicates greater stability. Therefore the stability of a radioactive element is characterized by its decay constant.

6Physicsenergy unit conversion kwh to joules

1 kWh is equal to:

  1. A.3.6 MW
  2. B.3.6 MJ
  3. C.3.6 kJ
  4. D.3.6 GJ

Explanation

1 kilowatt-hour is 1 kW × 3600 s = 1000 J/s × 3600 s = 3.6×10^6 J, which is 3.6 MJ. So 1 kWh equals 3.6 megajoules.

Questions are transcribed word for word from the original paper, so the odd spelling mistake you see is in the scan rather than added by us. We leave them as printed - “correcting” an exam question is how you end up testing something the paper never asked, and some questions are about spelling. Tell us if one is unreadable.
