312.

An electron of mass m and charge e moves in a circular path in a magnetic field of flux density B. How long does it take to complete one orbit? 

A.

\(\frac{2me}{B\pi}\)

B.

\(\frac{2B}{me\pi}\)

C.

\(\frac{2\pi m}{Be}\)

D.

\(\frac{Be}{2 \pi m}\)

Correct answer is C

Motion of charged particles in Magnetic field

qvb = \(\frac{Mv^2}{r}\)

where q = e

Introducing Period (T) as time taken to complete one orbit = \(\frac{2πM}{qe}\)

The temperature of an object is raised by 120°C. The resulting increase in its absolute temperature is
 

A.

50K

B.

120 K

C.

200K

D.

393K

315.

A motorcycle starting from rest is uniformly accelerated such that its velocity in 10s is 72kmhr\(^{-1}\). What is its acceleration?

A.

108ms\(^2\)

B.

86ms\(^2\)

C.

4ms\(^2\)

D.

2ms\(^2\)

Correct answer is D

 

where u = o m/s,     t = 10s,    

 v = 72kmhr\(^{-1}\) --->  (72 X 1000) / 3600

: v = 20 m/s

Acceleration (a) = ( v - u ) / t ---> (20 - 0) / 10 

: a = 2m/s\(^2\)
