This section contains 2 paragraphs. Based upon the first paragraph 2 multiple choice questions and based upon the
second paragraph 3 multiple choice questions have to be answered. Each of these questions has four choices A), B), C)
and D) out of which ONLY ONE is correct
Paragraph for Questions 70 to 71
Electrical resistance of certain materials, know as superconductors, changes
abruptly from a nonzero value to zero as their temperature is lowered below a
critical temperature TC
(0). An interseting property of supercondeuctors is that
their critical temperature becomes smaller than TC
(0)if they are placed in a mag-
netic field, i.e., the critical temperature TC
(B) is a function of the magnetic field
strength B. The dependence of TC
(B) on B is shown in the figure.
70. In the graphs below, the resistance R of a superconductor is shown as a function
of its temperature T for two different magnetic fields B1
(solid line) and B2
(dashed
line). If B2
is large than B1
, which of the following graphs shows the correct varia-
tion of R with T in these fields ?

A) B)
C) D)
Ans : A
Sol : Under magnetic field, the critical temperatures decreases as given in the data
therefore the super conductors become conductors for higher magnetic field at
low temperature.
71. A superconductor has TC
(0) = 100 K. When a magnetic field of 7.5 Tesla is applied,
its TC
decreases to 75 K. For this material one can definitely say that when.
A) B = 5 Tesla, TC
(B) = 80 K B) B = 5 Tesla, 75 K < TC
(B) < 100 K
C) B = 10 Tesla, 75 K < TC
(B) < 100 K D) B = 10 Tesla, TC
(B) = 70 K
Ans : B
Sol : When ‘B’ is increased, TC
(B) decreased where solid becomes super conductor. If B
= 7.5 tesla given that ‘TC
(0) decreased from 100 K to 75 K. If ‘B’ is less than 7.5 then
TC
(B) stightly increases, it should be in between 75 K and 100 K so if B = 5 Tesla, 75
K < TC
(B) < 100 K
Paragraph for Questions 72 to 74
When a particle of mass m moves on the x-axis in a potential of the form V(x) =
kx2
, it performs simple harmonic motion. The corresponding time period is pro-
portional to
m
k
, as can be seen easily using dimensional analysis. However, the
motion of a particle can be periodic even when its potential energy increases on
both sides of x = 0 in a way different from kx2
and its total energy is such that the
particle does not escape to infinity. Consider a particle of mass m moving on the
x-axis. Its potential energy is V(x) = 4
xα ( )0α > for |x| near the origin and be-
comes a constant equal to V0
for 0x X≥ (sec figure).

79. A stationary source is emitting sound at a fixed frequency f0
, which is reflectdd by
two cars approaching the source. The difference between the frequencies of sound
reflected from the cars is 1.2% of f0
. What is the difference in the speeds of the cars
(in km per hour) to the nearest integer ? The cars are moving at constant speeds
much smaller than the speed of sound which is 330 ms–1
.
