Top Questions on Radioactivity
- A region in the form of an equilateral triangle (in x-y plane) of height \( L \) has a uniform magnetic field \( \mathbf{B} \) pointing in the \( +z \)-direction. A conducting loop PQR, in the form of an equilateral triangle of the same height \( L \), is placed in the x-y plane with its vertex \( P \) at \( x = 0 \) in the orientation shown in the figure. At \( t = 0 \), the loop starts entering the region of the magnetic field with a uniform velocity \( \mathbf{v} \) along the \( +x \)-direction. The plane of the loop and its orientation remain unchanged throughout its motion.
Which of the following graphs best depicts the variation of the induced emf (\( \mathcal{E} \)) in the loop as a function of the distance (\( x \)) starting from \( x = 0 \)?- JEE Advanced - 2024

- A table tennis ball has radius \( \frac{3}{2} \times 10^{-2} \, \text{m} \) and mass \( \frac{22}{7} \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg} \). It is slowly pushed down into a swimming pool to a depth \( d = 0.7 \, \text{m} \) below the water surface and then released from rest. It emerges from the water surface at speed \( v \), without getting wet, and rises to a height \( H \). Which of the following option(s) is(are) correct?\(\text{(Given: } \pi = \frac{22}{7}, g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2, \text{density of water} = 1 \times 10^3 \, \text{kg/m}^3, \text{viscosity of water} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{Pa.s).}\)

- An infinitely long thin wire, having a uniform charge density per unit length of \(5 \, \text{nC/m}\), is passing through a spherical shell of radius \(1 \, \text{m}\), as shown in the figure. A \(10 \, \text{nC}\) charge is distributed uniformly over the spherical shell. If the configuration of the charges remains static, the magnitude of the potential difference between points \(P\) and \(R\), in Volt, is ______. \[ \text{(Given: In SI units } \frac{1}{4\pi\epsilon_0} = 9 \times 10^9, \ln 2 = 0.7). \] Ignore the area pierced by the wire.
