Q.No: 21
A part of an infinitely long wire, carrying a current \(I\), is bent in a semi-circular arc of radius \(r\) (as shown in the figure).

The magnetic field at the centre \(O\) of the arc is
(1)
\(\frac{\mu_0 I}{4r}\)
(2)
\(\frac{\mu_0 I}{4\pi r}\)
(3)
\(\frac{\mu_0 I}{2r}\)
(4)
\(\frac{\mu_0 I}{2\pi r}\)
Solution :
Magnetic field at 'O' due to straight line segment is zero.
Magnetic field at 'O' due to semi-circular arc is half the magnetic field due to circular ring
\[B_0=\frac{1}{2}\frac{\mu_0 I}{2r}=\frac{\mu_o I}{4r}\]
Answer : 1
Q.No: 22
The figure below shows a circuit with two transistors, \(Q_1\) and \(Q_2\) having current gain \(\beta_1\) and \(\beta_2\) respectively.

The collector voltage \(V_C\) will be closest to
(1)
\(0.9\) V
(2)
\(2.2\) V
(3)
\(2.9\) V
(4)
\(4.2\) V
Solution :
The circuit is called Darlington Pair

Referring to Boylestad 11th Edition, Chapter-4, Equations 4.50 to 4.53 :
\(\beta_D=\beta_1\times \beta_2=400\)
\(I_{c{_1}}=\beta_1 I_{B{_1}}\)
\(I_{B{_1}}=\frac{V_{cc}-V_{BE_1}-V_{BE_2}}{R_B+(\beta_D+1)R_E}=23.42\mu A\)
\(I_{c{_1}}=\beta_1 I_{B{_1}}=20\times 23.42\mu\)A = 0.446mA
\(I_{c{_2}}=\beta_D I_{B{_1}}=400\times 23.42\mu\)A = 9.36mA
So, \(I_c=I_{c{_1}}+I_{c{_2}}\), \(I_c=9.8\)mA
\(V_{cc}-I_c(1 k)-(V_c-0)=0\)
\(V_c=12-(9.8mA\times 1k\Omega)\)=2.2V
Answer : 2
Q.No: 23
If \(z=i^{i^{i^{.^{.}}}}\) (note that the exponent continuous indefinitely), then a possible value of \(\frac{1}{z}\) ln \(z\) is
(1)
2i ln i
(2)
ln i
(3)
i ln i
(4)
2 ln i
Solution :
\[z=i^{i^{i^{i^{.^{.}}}}}=i^{(i^{i^{i^{.^{.}}}})}\]
The term in the bracket is again and \(z\).
So, \(z=i^z\)
\(ln\hspace{1mm}z=z ln i\)
Therefore, value of \(\frac{1}{z}\hspace{1mm} ln z=ln\hspace{1mm} i\)
Answer : 2
Q.No: 24
If the expectation value of the momentum of a particle in one dimension is zero, then its (box-normalizable) wavefunction may be of the form
(1)
\(sin (kx) \)
(2)
\(e^{ikx} sin (kx) \)
(3)
\(e^{ikx}cos (kx) \)
(4)
\(sin (kx) + e^{ikx} cos (kx) \)
Solution :
\(\langle p\rangle =-i \hbar \int \psi^* \frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x} dx\)
\(\langle p\rangle\) should always be real. So \(\int \psi^* \frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x} dx\) is either purely imaginary or zero.
For real wave-function, if \(\int \psi^* \frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x} dx\) exists, then it will be real, which leads to imaginary \(\langle p\rangle\).
Therefore, for real wave-function, \(\int \psi^* \frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x} dx\) should vanish to make \(\langle p\rangle\) real.
Therefore, for a real wave-function :
\(\langle p\rangle=-i\hbar \int\psi^* \frac{\partial\psi}{\partial x} dx =0 \)
Only Option-1 contains real wave-function.

Q.No: 28
Two \(n\times n\) invertible real matrices A and B satisfy the relation
\((AB)^T=-(A^{-1}B)^{-1}\)
If B is orthogonal then A must be
(1)
lower triangle
(2)
orthogonal
(3)
symmetric
(4)
antisymmetric
Solution :
\((A \hspace{1mm}B)^T=-(A^{-1}\hspace{1mm}B)^{-1}\)
\(B\) is orthogonal \(\Rightarrow B^T=B^{-1}\)
\(B^T\hspace{1mm} A^T=-B^{-1}(A^{-1})^{-1}\)
\(B^{-1}\hspace{1mm}A^T=-B^{-1} A\)
\(A^T=-A\)
\(A\) is anti-symmetric
Q.No: 29
The Lagrangian of a system described by three generalized coordinates \(q_1,q_2\) and \(q_3\) is
\[L=\frac{1}{2}m(\dot{q}_1^2+\dot{q}_2^2)+M\dot{q}_1\dot{q}_2+k\dot{q}_1 q_3\]
where \(m,M\) and \(k\) are positive constants. Then, as a function of time
(4)
two coordinates remain constant and one evolves linearly
(4)
one coordinate remains constant, one evolves linearly and the third evolves as a quadratic function
(4)
one coordinate evolves linearly and two evolve quadratically
(4)
all three evolve linearly
Solution :
Lagrange's equation of motion are
\(q_1\) :
\(m\dot{q}_1+m\dot{q}_2+k\dot{q}_3=c_1\)---------------(1)
\(q_2\) :
\(m\dot{q}_2+m\dot{q}_1=c_2\) \(\Rightarrow m\frac{d}{dt}(q_1+q_2)=c_2\)
\(m(q_1+q_2)=c_2 t+ c'_2 \)-----------------------(2)
\(q_3\) :
\(k\dot{q}_1=0\) \(\Rightarrow q_1=c_4\) ---------------(3)
Subtracting (3) into (2) \(\Rightarrow q_2=ct+c'_1 \)----------(4)
Subtracting (3),(4) into (1) \(\Rightarrow q_3\) = constant. ---(5)
(Where \(c\) and \(c_i\) are constants)
So, \(q_1\) and \(q_3\) are constants and \(q_2\) varies linearly with respect to time.

If the normalized eigenvector corresponding to its largest energy eigenvelue is \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix} 1\\ y \end{pmatrix}\), then \(y\) is
(1)
\(\frac{B+iC}{\sqrt{B^2+C^2}}\)
(2)
\(\frac{A-iB}{\sqrt{A^2+B^2}}\)
(3)
\(\frac{A-iC}{\sqrt{A^2+C^2}}\)
(4
)
\(\frac{B-iC}{\sqrt{B^2+C^2}}\)
Solution :
\(H=AI+(B\hat{i}+C\hat{j})\cdot \vec{\sigma}\)
Eigenvalues of \((B\hat{i}+C\hat{j})\cdot \vec{\sigma}\) are \(\pm \sqrt{B^2+C^2}\)
he largest Eigenvalue of \(H\) is \(A+\sqrt{B^2+C^2}\)
\(H\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\begin{pmatrix} 1\\ y \end{pmatrix}=(A+\sqrt{B^2+C^2}) \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}} \begin{pmatrix} 1\\ y \end{pmatrix}\)
\(\left[ A\begin{pmatrix} 1&0\\ 0&1 \end{pmatrix} +B\begin{pmatrix} 0&1\\ 1&0 \end{pmatrix} +C \begin{pmatrix} 0& -i\\ i& 0 \end{pmatrix} \right] \begin{pmatrix} 1\\ y \end{pmatrix}\)
=\((A+\sqrt{B^2+C^2}) \begin{pmatrix} 1\\ y \end{pmatrix}\)
\(\Rightarrow \frac{\sqrt{B^2+C^2}}{B-iC}\times \frac{B+ iC}{B+ iC}=\frac{B+ iC}{\sqrt{B^2+C^2}}\)
Q.No:32 CSIR Sep-2022

(4)
a pole of order 3
Solution :
\(f(z)=\frac{1}{z-sin(z)}=\frac{1}{z-(z-\frac{z^3}{3!}+\frac{z^5}{5!}+.....)}\)
\(f(z)=\frac{1}{\frac{-z^3}{3!}+\frac{z^5}{5!}- ......}\)
\(\lim_{z \to 0}(z-0)^3 f(z)\) is non-zero and finite.
So, \(z=0\) is a pole of order 3
Q.No:34 CSIR Sep-2022
An elastic rod has a low energy state of length \(L_{max}\) and high energy state of length \(L_{min}\). The best schematic
representation of the temperature \((T)\) dependence of the mean equilibrium length \(L(T)\) of the rod, is




Solution :
\(E_1=C \hspace{2mm} L_{max}\) be the lowest energy.
\(E_2=C \hspace{2mm} L_{min}\) be the highest energy.
\(\langle L \rangle= L_{max} P(E_1) + L_{min} P(E_2)\)
\(P(E_1)=\frac{e^{-\beta E_1}}{e^{-\beta E_1}+e^{-\beta E_2}}\) , \(P(E_1)=\frac{e^{-\beta E_2}}{e^{-\beta E_1}+e^{-\beta E_2}}\)
As \(T \to \infty\) \(\beta \to 0 \) \(\frac{P(E_1)}{P(E_2)}=e^{-\beta(E_2-E_1)}\to 0\)
\(P(E_2)\approx 0\) \(\hspace{3mm}\) \(P(E_1)\approx 1\)
So, \(\langle L \rangle= L_{max}\)
As \(t \to \infty\) \(\beta \to \infty\) \(P(E_1)=P(E_2)\approx \frac{1}{2}\)
So, \(\langle L \rangle=(L_{max} + L_{min})/2\)

(2)
2.0
(3)
2.4
(4)
2.7
Solution :
\[\frac{E_{OT}}{E_{OI}}=\frac{2n_1}{n_1+n_2}\]
\(E_{OT}\to\) Transmitted Amplitude
\(E_{OI}\to\) Incident Amplitude
\(n_1\to\) RI of incident medium (1 in this case)
\(n_2\to\) RI of transmitted medium
Given : \(E_{OI}=E_0, E_{OT}=\frac{2}{3}E_0\)
\(\frac{2}{3}=\frac{2}{1+n_2}\Rightarrow n_2=2\)

(4)
\(\frac{1}{2}(\gamma_u +\gamma_v)m(c^2-uv)\)
Solution :
Suppose \(E\) and \(p_x\) are energy and momentum in \(S\) frame, then according to Lorentz transformation of energy and momentum
\[E'=\gamma_u(E-up_x)\]

\(E=\gamma_v mc^2 , p_x=0\)
So, \(E'=\gamma_u(\gamma_v mc^2- 0)\)
\(E'=\gamma_u\gamma_v mc^2\)

\((\langle E\rangle)_T=\hbar \omega (\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{e^{\beta \hbar \omega}-1}), \hspace{5mm} \beta=\frac{1}{k_B T}\)
As \(T \to 0 \hspace{3mm}, \beta \to \infty, \hspace{3mm} e^{\beta \hbar \omega}\to \)large,
\((\langle E\rangle)_{T \to 0} \to \frac{\hbar \omega}{2}\) (Obviously)\\

(4)
\(E(^3P_1)<E(^3P_0)<E(^3P_2)<E(^1D_2)\),
Solution :
There are two equivalent electrons in p orbit. It is less than half filled.
According to Hund's rule :
(1) The highest total spin (S) state have the lowest energy.
(2) For a given spin (S), the highest total \(L\) state have the lowest energy
(3) For a given \(L\) and \(S\) and for less than half filled, lower \(J\) value state will be lie below.
Summary: Singlets are always above the triplets. Within multiplicity, and within \(L\), lower \(J\) value state lie below for less than half filled orbits.
So, \(E(^3P)< E(^1D)\)
\(E(^3 P_0)<E(^3 P_1)<E(^3 P_2)< E(^1 D_2)\)

To first order in perturbation theory, the energy of the ground state of the Hamiltonian
\[
H=\frac{p^2}{2m} + \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2
+ \frac{\hbar \omega}{\sqrt{512}}exp\left[-\frac{m\omega}{\hbar}x^2\right]
\]
(1)
\(\frac{15}{32}\hbar \omega\)
(2)
\(\frac{17}{32}\hbar \omega\)
(3)
\(\frac{19}{32}\hbar \omega\)
(4)
\(\frac{21}{32}\hbar \omega\)

According to perturbation theory, first order correction to ground state is \(E_0 ^{(1)}=\langle \psi_0| H' |\psi_0\rangle\)
\(E_0 ^{(1)}=\sqrt{\frac{m \omega}{\pi \hbar}} \frac{\hbar \omega}{\sqrt{512}}\int_{-\infty}^{+\infty}e^{\frac{-2m \omega}{\hbar}x^2}dx = \frac{\hbar \omega}{\sqrt{512 \times 2}}=\frac{\hbar \omega}{32}\)

\(E_0^{(0)}+E_0^{(1)}=\frac{\hbar \omega}{2}+\frac{\hbar \omega}{32}=\frac{17}{32}\hbar \omega\)
Q.No:52 CSIR Sep-2022
A bucket contains 6 red and 4 blue balls. A ball is taken out of the bucket at random and two balls of the same colour are put back. This step is repeated once more. The probability that the numbers of red and blue balls are equal at the end, is
(1)
4/11
(2)
2/11
(3)
1/4
(4)
3/4
Solution :
When will you end up with same number of red and blue ball ?

Step(1): A blue ball is taken out of the bucket containing 6 red and 4 blue balls.
Two blue balls are put back. Now bucket contains 6 red and 5 blue balls.
Step(2): Then, one more blue ball is taken out again from the bucket containing 6 red and 5 blue balls.
Two blue balls are put back.
Now bucket contain 6 red and 6 blue balls.
Probability of picking a blue ball in Step(1)=\(\frac{4}{10}\)
Probability of picking a blue ball in Step (2)=\(\frac{5}{11}\)
Total probability=\(\frac{4}{10} \times \frac{5}{11}=\frac{2}{11}\)
Q.No:53 CSIR Sep-2022
In the absorption spectrum of H-atom, the frequency of transition from the ground state to the first excited state is \(\nu_H\). The corresponding frequency for a bound state of a positively charged muon \(\mu^+\) and an electron is \(\nu_\mu\). Using \(m_\mu=10^{-28}kg\), \(m_e=10^{-30}kg\) and \(m_p>>m_e,m_\mu\), the value of
\((\nu_\mu -\nu_H)/\nu_H\) is
(1)
0.001
(2)
–0.001
(3)
-0.01
(4)
0.01
Solution :
Since the transmission are between the same levels, frequency is proportional to Rydberg constant.
Rydberg constant \(\propto \) reduced mass (Need to remember)
For H-atom, reduced mass \(\simeq m_e\)
For \(\mu^+\) and electron reduced mass =\(\frac{m_e \times m_{\mu}}{m_e+m_{\mu}}=\frac{m_e}{\frac{m_e}{m_{\mu}}+1}
=0.99m_e\)
So,
\[
\frac{\nu_\mu - \nu_H}{\nu_\mu} = 1 - \frac{\nu_H}{\nu_\mu} = 1 - \frac{R_H}{R_\mu} = 1- \frac{m_e}{0.99 m_e} = 1-1.010 =-0.01

A paramagnetic salt with magnetic moment per ion \(\mu_\pm=\pm \mu_B\) (where \(\mu_B\) is the Bohr magneton) is in thermal equilibrium at temperature \(T\) in a constant magnetic field \(B\). The average magnetic moment \(\langle M \rangle\), as a function of \(k_BT/\mu_BB\) is best represented by




Solution :
Possible energies \(\epsilon =\pm \mu_B B\)
Partition function \[z=e^{-\beta\mu_B B}+e^{+\beta\mu_B B} = 2 \hspace{2mm} cosh(\beta \mu_B B)\]
Average energy
\[\langle E \rangle =\frac{-\partial}{\partial \beta}ln (z)=-\mu_B B \hspace{2mm} tanh(\beta \mu_B B)\]
\[\langle M \rangle= -\langle E \rangle/B = \mu_B \hspace{2mm} tanh(\frac{\mu_B B}{k_B T})\]
\(\langle M \rangle\) is plotted v/s \(\frac{k_B T}{\mu_B B}\)
Taking \(\langle M \rangle=y\) and \(\frac{k_B T}{\mu_B B}=x\)
\[\langle M \rangle=y= \mu_B tanh (\frac{1}{x})\]

The energy/energies \(E\) of the bound state(s) of a particle of mass \(m\) in one dimension in the potential
\[
V(x)= \begin{cases}
\infty, & x \leq 0 \\
-V_0, & 0 \le x \le a \\
0, & x \geq a
\end{cases}
\]
(1) \(cot^2\left( a \sqrt{\frac{2m(E+V_0)}{\hbar^2}}\right) = \frac{E-V_0}{E}\)
(2) \(tan^2\left( a \sqrt{\frac{2m(E+V_0)}{\hbar^2}}\right) =-\frac{E}{E+V_0}\)
(3) \(cot^2\left( a \sqrt{\frac{2m(E+V_0)}{\hbar^2}}\right) =-\frac{E}{E+V_0}\)
(4) \(tan^2\left( a \sqrt{\frac{2m(E+V_0)}{\hbar^2}}\right) = \frac{E-V_0}{E}\)
Solution :
Refer Zettili Problem 4.13, outside 4th Chapter. This is a solved problem in Zettili.
For bound state, energy E<0. Wave function vanishes for Region-1, as potential is infinite there. It is sinusoidal for Region-2, which is classically allowed region. For Region-3, classically forbidden region, it is exponentially decaying.

For Region-2, \(E>V\), \(V=-V_0\)
\[
k= \frac{\sqrt{2m(E-V)}}{\hbar} = \frac{\sqrt{2m(E+V_0)}}{\hbar}
\]
For Region-3, \(E<V\), \(V=0\),
\[
\kappa = \frac{\sqrt{2m(V-E)}}{\hbar} = \frac{\sqrt{-2mE}}{\hbar}
\]
Continuity of the wave function at \(x=0\), leads to
\[\psi_1(0)=\psi_2(0)\]
\[0=A \cdot 0 + B \cdot 1 \Rightarrow B=0\]
So, the wave-function in Region-2 becomes
\[\psi_2(x)=A \hspace{1mm}sin(kx) \]
(Don't apply derivative continuity at x=0, because derivative is discontinuous at x=0 as potential touching infinity )
Continuity of the wave function and it's derivative at \(x=a\), leads to
\[
\psi_2(a)=\psi_3(a) \Rightarrow A \hspace{1mm} sin(ka)=Ce^{-\kappa a} \hspace{3mm}---(I)
\]
\[
\psi'_2(a)=\psi'_3(a) \Rightarrow A \hspace{1mm}k \hspace{1mm} cos(ka)=-C \kappa e^{-\kappa a} \hspace{3mm}---(II)
\]
(II)/(I) leads to
\[
k \hspace{1mm} cot(ka) = -\kappa
\]
\[
cot^2(ka)= \frac{\kappa^2}{k^2}
\]
Substituting \(k\) and \(\kappa\) from above relations, we get
\[
cot^2\left(\frac{\sqrt{2m(E+V_0)}}{\hbar}a\right) = -\frac{E}{E+V_0}
\]
Q.No: 60
The Lagrangian of a system of two particles is
\[
L= \frac{1}{2} \dot{x_1}^2 + 2
\dot{x_2}^2 - \frac{1}{2}
(x_1^2 + x_2^2 + x_1 x_2)\]
The normal frequencies are best approximated by
(1) 1.2 and 0.7
(2) 1.5 and 0.5
(3) 1.7 and 0.5
(4) 1.0 and 0.4
Solution :
Kinetic Energy :
\[
T=\frac{1}{2} (\dot{x_1}^2 + 4
\dot{x_2}^2)
\]
Potential Energy :
\[
V(x)=\frac{1}{2}
\left[x_1^2 + x_2^2 + \frac{1}{2}(x_1 x_2) + \frac{1}{2}(x_2 x_1) \right]
\]
T and V matrices are (apart from 1/2 factor taken outside in the above equations)
\[
T= \begin{pmatrix}
1&0\\
0&4
\end{pmatrix}, \hspace{2mm}
V= \begin{pmatrix}
1&1/2\\
1/2&1
\end{pmatrix}
\]
To find normal mode frequencies, we need to solve this determinant for \(\omega\)
\[
|V-\omega^2T|=0
\]
\[
\begin{vmatrix}
1-\omega^2 & 1/2 \\
1/2 & 1-4\omega^2
\end{vmatrix} =0
\]
After solving this determinant for \(\omega^2\), we get
\[
\omega^2 = \frac{20 \pm 14.42}{32}
\]
(Calculator is needed).
So, two normal mode frequencies are
\[
\omega_1= 0.41, \hspace{2mm} \omega_2=1.037
\]
Option 4 would be an appropriate one.
Q.No:60 CSIR Sep-2022
Two parallel conducting rings, both of radius \(R\), are separated by a distance \(R\). The planes of the rings are perpendicular to the line joining their centers, which is taken to be \(x\)-axis.

If both the rings carry the same current \(i\) along the same direction, the magnitude of the magnetic field along \(x-\)axis is best represented by




Solution :
This is the famous Helmholtz Coil used for producing a region of nearly uniform magnetic field.
(Refer Problem 5.46 Griffiths Electrodynamics 4th edition)
When distance between rings = \(R\), \(\frac{\partial B}{\partial x}=0\) and \(\frac{\partial^2 B}{\partial x^2}=0\),
which leads to uniform magnetic field at the center region. At this condition, magnetic fields at the planes of coil are little bit smaller than that at the center.
So, Option 1 is an approximate diagram.

At time \(t=0\), a particle in the ground state of the Hamiltonian
\[
H(t)=\frac{p^2}{2m} + \frac{1}{2} m \omega^2 x^2
+ \lambda x sin(\frac{\omega t}{2} )\]
where \(\lambda\) \(\omega\) and \(m\) are positive constants. To \(O(\lambda^2)\), the probability that at \(t=2\pi/\omega\), the particle would be in the first excited state of \(H(t=0)\) is
(1) \(\frac{9 \lambda^2}{16 m \hbar \omega^3}\)
(2) \(\frac{9 \lambda^2}{8 m \hbar \omega^3}\)
(3) \(\frac{16 \lambda^2}{9 m \hbar \omega^3}\)
(4) \(\frac{8 \lambda^2}{9 m \hbar \omega^3}\)
Solution :
Consider two states \(\psi_a\) and \(\psi_b\) with respective energies \(E_a\) and \(E_b\). We define \(\omega_0=(E_b-E_a)/\hbar\).
When there exist Time-Dependent Perturbation \(H'(t)\), Probability of transition \(P_{a \rightarrow b}(t) = |c_b(t)|^2\), where
\[
c_b(t) = -\frac{i}{\hbar} \int_0^t H'_{ab}(t') e^{i\omega_0 t'} dt'
\]
Where \(H'_{ab}(t') = \langle \psi_a | H'(t) |\psi_b \rangle \)
In the present problem, \(H'(t)= \lambda x \hspace{1mm} sin(\omega t/2)\)
\[
\psi_a = \psi_0 = \left(\frac{m\omega}{\pi \hbar}\right)^{1/4} e^{-\frac{m \omega}{2\pi}x^2}
\]
\[
\psi_b = \psi_1 = \left(\frac{m\omega}{\pi \hbar}\right)^{1/4} \sqrt{\frac{2m\omega}{\hbar}} x e^{-\frac{m \omega}{2\pi}x^2}
\]
\[
H'_{ab}=H'_{01}= \int_{-\infty}^{+\infty} \psi_a^* H'(t) \psi_b dx = \lambda \sqrt{\frac{\hbar}{2m\omega}} sin(\omega t/2)
\]
Use the following integral
\[
\int_{0}^{+\infty} x^n e^{-ax^2} dx
= \frac{1}{2a^{(n+1)/2}} \Gamma \left[(n+1)/2\right]\]
With \( \Gamma(1/2)=\sqrt{\pi}\)
In this case, \(\omega_0 = (E_1-E_0)/\hbar = \omega\)As we need Probability at \(t=2\pi/\omega\), \[
c_1(2\pi/\omega) = -\frac{i}{\hbar} \int_0^{2\pi/\omega} H'_{01}(t') e^{i\omega_0 t'} dt'
\]
\[
c_1(2\pi/\omega) = -\frac{i}{\hbar} \lambda \sqrt{\frac{\hbar}{2m\omega}} \int_0^{2\pi/\omega} sin(\omega t/2) e^{i\omega t} dt
\]
\[
c_1(2\pi/\omega) = -\frac{\lambda}{\hbar} \sqrt{\frac{\hbar}{2m\omega}} \frac{1}{i\omega} \frac{4}{3}
\]
So, probability at \(t=2\pi/\omega\)
\[
P_{0 \rightarrow 1}(2\pi/\omega)= |c_1(2\pi/\omega)|^2 = \frac{8 \lambda^2}{9m\hbar \omega^3}
\]

Two small metallic objects are embedded in a weakly conducting medium of conductivity \(\sigma\), and dielectric constant \(\epsilon\). A battery connected between them leads to a potential difference \(V_0\). It is subsequently disconnected at time \(t=0\). The potential difference at later time \(t\) is

Solution :
Refer Problem 7.3 Griffiths Electrodynamics 4th Edition. Capacitance (C) of the configuration is related to resistance (R) and conductivity (\(\sigma\)) by the relation :
\[
C=\frac{\epsilon}{\sigma R}

\[

Q.No:68 CSIR Sep-2022
The value of the integral
\[\int_{-\infty}^{\infty} \frac{\cos{(ax)}}{x^2+1} dx
\]
for \(a > 0 \)
(1)
\(\pi e^\alpha\)
(2)
\(\pi e^{-\alpha}\)
(3)
\(\pi e^{-\alpha/2}\)
(4)
\(\pi e^{\alpha/2}\)
Solution :
\[I=\int_{-\infty} ^{+\infty} \frac{cos(ax)}{x^2 + 1} dx = Re \left ( \int_{-\infty} ^{+\infty} \frac{e^{iax}}{x^2 + 1} dx \right)\]
To solve \(\int_{-\infty} ^{+\infty} \frac{e^{iax}}{x^2 + 1} dx\) for \(a>0\), we need to choose semi-circular contour in the upper half plane (Followed by Weber).
Consider contour integral of \(\frac{e^{iaz}}{z^2 + 1} dz\) around this semi-circular contour

\[
\oint \frac{e^{iaz}}{z^2 + 1} dz =\int_{curved} \frac{e^{iaz}}{z^2 + 1} + \int_{-R} ^{+R} \frac{e^{iax}}{x^2 + 1} dx
\]
As \(R \Rightarrow \infty\), curved part of contour integral vanishes, and the limit of integral on real axis becomes \(-\infty \Rightarrow +\infty\). Contour covers entire upper half plane.
\[
\oint \frac{e^{iaz}}{z^2 + 1} dz = \int_{-\infty} ^{+\infty} \frac{e^{iax}}{x^2 + 1} dx
\]
\[
= 2\pi i \times Residue \hspace{2mm} of \frac{e^{iaz}}{z^2 + 1} \hspace{2mm} in \hspace{2mm}upper \hspace{2mm} half \hspace{2mm} plane
\]
\(z=i\) is only singularity in upper half plane. So, residue at \(z=i\)
\[
R(z=i) = \lim_{z \to i} (z-i) \frac{e^{iaz}}{(z-i)(z+i)} = \frac{e^{-a}}{2i}
\]
\[\int_{-\infty} ^{+\infty} \frac{e^{iax}}{x^2 + 1} dx = \pi e^{-a}
\]
So, the given integral which is real part of above integral is \(\pi e^{-a}\).
Answer : 2
Q.No:70 CSIR Sep-2022
A square conducting loop in \(yz\)-plane, falls downward under the gravity along the negaive \(z\)-axis. Region1, defined by \(z>0\) has a uniform magnetic field \(\textbf{B}=B_0 \hat{\textbf{i}}\), while region 2 (defined by \(z<0\)) has no magnetic field.





Solution :
When the conducting loop falling in the Region-1, there will be no rate of change of flux, no net magnetic force and hence no induced EMF. So, there will be no opposition to the motion (No Lenz law). So, it is a constant accelerated motion (a=g).
When it falling in Region-2 where there is no magnetic field, again it is a constant accelerated motion.

During the time when the loop enters Region-2 from Region-1 and being partially in Region-1 and Region-2, and falling, the flux is decreasing. EMF will be induced in the loop to produce the current in anti-clockwise direction (According to Lenz law). Now, upper portion of the current carrying loop which is still in magnetic field experience magnetic force \(\vec{F}= \int (\vec{I} \times \vec{B}) dl\) in the upward direction resulting decrease of net downward force and hence acceleration.
As we know, slope of v-t graph is acceleration, and in Option-2, slope was a constant and was decreasing and then constant as earlier.
