Solution
The count rate of a radioactive material is 800 count/min. If the half-life of the material is 4 days, what would the count rate be in 16 days later
A
200 count / min
B
100 count / min
C
50 count / min
D
25 count / min

Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
116 days = 4 half - lives
Thus, after 4 half lives the fraction left of any radioactive materials is given by (1/2)4 = 1/16
∴ Count rate / amount left = 1/16 x 800/1
= 50 count / min

Solution
A circuit has an area of 0.4m2 and consists of 50 loops of wire. If the loops are twisted and allowed to rotate at a constant angular velocity of 10 rad s-1 in a uniform magnetic field of 0.4T, the amplitude of the induced voltage is
A
8V
B
16V
C
20V
D
80V
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The induced voltage \(\epsilon\) in a coil = N* B* A * \(\omega\)
where: N = number of loops (50 loops),B = magnetic field strength (0.4 T),A = area of the loop (0.4 m\(^2\)),\(\omega\) = angular velocity (10 rad/s)
\(\epsilon\) in a coil = N* B* A * \(\omega\) = 50 x 0.4 x 0.4 x 10 = 80V
Therefore, the amplitude of the induced voltage is 80V

Solution
The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectron emitted from a metal surface is 0.34eV. If the work function of the metal surface is 1.83eV,find the stopping potential.
A
2.17V
B
1.49V
C
1.09V
D
0.34V
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option D
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
The stopping potential is the potential required to stop the most energetic photo-emitted electron. From the relation e Vs = K.E,(max) where e is the electron charge, and Vs is the stopping potential => e x Vs = 0.34eV
∴ Vs = (0.34eV) / e = 0.34V
∴ stopping potential = 0.34V

Solution
When an alternating current given by I = 10sin (120\pi)t passes through a 12\Omega resistor, the power dissipated in the resistor is
A
1200W
B
600W
C
120W
D
30W
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
To find the power dissipated in a resistor due to an alternating current (AC), we use the formula for average power:
\(P = I_{\text{rms}}^2 R\)
where:
- \( P \) is the average power,
- \( I_{\text{rms}} \) is the root mean square (RMS) value of the current,
- \( R \) is the resistance.
The current is given by: \(I(t) = 10 \sin(120\pi t)\)
The peak current is: \(I_0 = 10 \, \text{A}\)
The RMS value of a sinusoidal current is given by:
\(I_{\text{rms}} = \frac{I_0}{\sqrt{2}} = \frac{10}{\sqrt{2}} = 5\sqrt{2} \, \text{A} \approx 7.07 \, \text{A}\)
Using the resistance \( R = 12 \, \Omega \):
\(P = I_{\text{rms}}^2 R\)
Substituting the values:
\(P = (5\sqrt{2})^2 \cdot 12\)
Calculating \( (5\sqrt{2})^2 \):
\((5\sqrt{2})^2 = 25 \cdot 2 = 50\)
Now substituting back into the power formula: \(P = 50 \cdot 12 = 600 \, \text{W}\)
Thus, the power dissipated in the resistor is: \(600 \, \text{W}\)

Solution
In a semi conductor junction diode, as the depletion or barrier layer is forward-biased, the layer
A
widens
B
narrows
C
remains constant
D
widens then narrows
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
In a semiconductor junction diode, applying forward bias to the depletion or barrier layer causes the layer to B. narrow.
This occurs because the applied voltage lowers the potential barrier, facilitating the recombination of charge carriers and reducing the width of the depletion region.
