Q:

The Bohr magneton is given by

A) eh/2m B) eh/2?m
C) eh/4m D) eh/4?m
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: D) eh/4?m

Explanation: In atomic physics, the Bohr magneton (symbol ?B) is a physical constant and the natural unit for expressing the magnetic moment of an electron caused by either its orbital or spin angular momentum. It is given by eh/4?m, where h is the Planck’s constant, e is the charge of the electron and m is the mass of the electron.

Q:

The cross product of the vectors 3i + 4j – 5k and –i + j – 2k is,

A) 3i – 11j + 7k B) -3i + 11j + 7k
C) -3i – 11j – 7k D) -3i + 11j – 7k
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) -3i + 11j + 7k

Explanation: Cross product of two vectors is, A X B = (a2*b3 – b2*a3)i – (a1*b3 – b1*a3)j + (a1*b2 – b1*a2)k. Using the formula, the answer can be calculated.

Q:

Find the electric field applied on a system with electrons having a velocity 5m/s subjected to a magnetic flux of 3.6 units.

A) 15 B) 18
C) 1.38 D) 0.72
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: B) 18

Explanation: The electric field intensity is the product of the velocity and the magnetic flux density. Thus E = v x B, on substituting v = 5 and B = 3.6, we get E = 5 x 3.6 = 18 units.

Q:

A point charge 0.4nC is located at (2, 3, 3). Find the potential differences between (2, 3, 3)m and (-2, 3, 3)m due to the charge.

A) 2.5 B) 2.6
C) 2.7 D) 2.8
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 2.7

Explanation: Vab = (Q/4??o)(1/rA) + (1/rB), where rA and rB are position vectors rA = 1m and rB = 4m. Thus Vab = 2.7 volts.

Q:

Find the force between two charges when they are brought in contact and separated by 4cm apart, charges are 2nC and -1nC, in ?N.

A) 1.44 B) 2.44
C) 1.404 D) 2.404
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 1.404

Explanation: Before the charges are brought into contact, F = 11.234 ?N.
After charges are brought into contact and then separated, charge on each sphere is, (q1 + q2)/2 = 0.5nC
On calculating the force with q1 = q2 = 0.5nC, F = 1.404?N.
