medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Electrical conductivity = the reciprocal of resistivity
but resistivity(ρ) = \(\frac{R\times A}{L}\)
resistivity(ρ) = \(\frac{ 2.0 \times 10^{-3} \times0.1}{100}\) = 0.000002
electrical conductivity(σ) = \(\frac{1}{ρ}\)
σ = \(\frac{1}{0.000002} = 500000\omega^{-1}cm^{-1}\)

Solution
\(^{226}_{88}Ra\) \(\to\) \(^{222}_{86}Rn\) + X + Energy. The equation above represents a nuclear decay of radium isotope. What is X?
A
Alpha particle
B
Beta particle
C
Gamma ray
D
Neutron
E
X – ray
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Mass Number: The mass number on the left side is 226 (from Ra) and 222 (from Rn) on the right side. Let A be the mass number of X:
226 = 222 + A ⇒ A = 226 - 222 = 4
Atomic Number: The atomic number on the left side is 88 (for Ra) and 86 (for Rn) on the right side. Let Z be the atomic number of X:
88 = 86 + Z ⇒ 88 - 86 = 2
Therefore, X is an alpha particle.

Solution
Two equal capacitances are connected first in series and then in parallel. The ratio of the effective series capacitance to the effective parallel capacitance is
A
0.25
B
0.50
C
1.00
D
2.20
E
4.00
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Assume the two equal capacitors are 2 micro-farads respectively( you can assume any number)
Effective capacitor in series = \(\frac{1}{C_1} + \frac{1}{C_2}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2} + \frac{1}{2}\) = \(\frac{2}{2}\) = 1 micro-farads
Effective capacitance in parallel = \(C_1 + C_2\) = 2 + 2 = 4 micro-farads
The ratio of the effective series capacitance to the effective parallel capacitance = 1: 4 = \(\frac{1}{4}\) = 0.25

Mechanics and Properties of Matter
Solution
A constant force of 5N acts for 5s on a mass of 5kg initially at rest. Calculate the final momentum of the mass.
A
125 kgms-1
B
75 kgms-1
C
25 kgms-1
D
20 kgms-1
E
5 kgms-1
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
According to Newton's second law of motion, \(force = \frac{ final momentum - initial momentum}{time}\)
but momentum = mass x velocity; F= 5N, Initial mass = 5kg, time = 5secs, initial velocity = zero
then final momentum = force x time (since initial momentum of the mass = 0, that is 5 x 0)
= 5 x 5 = 25 kgms-1

Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
Velocity before reaching the ground ( v ) = \(\sqrt{2gH}\) from the third equation of motion.
v = \(\sqrt{2 \times 10 \times 80}\) = \(\sqrt{1600}\) = 40m/s
