Questions Asked in JEE Main exam
- A body of mass \(4\) kg is placed at a point \(P\) having coordinates \( (3,4) \) m. Under the action of force \( \mathbf{F} = (2\hat{i} + 3\hat{j}) \) N, it moves to a new point \(Q\) having coordinates \( (6,10) \) m in \(4\) sec. The average power and instantaneous power at the end of \(4\) sec are in the ratio:
- Consider a long thin conducting wire carrying a uniform current \( I \). A particle having mass \( M \) and charge \( q \) is released at a distance \( a \) from the wire with a speed \( v_0 \) along the direction of current in the wire. The particle gets attracted to the wire due to magnetic force. The particle turns round when it is at distance \( x \) from the wire. The value of \( x \) is:

- Magnetic Field
A proton is moving undeflected in a region of crossed electric and magnetic fields at a constant speed of \( 2 \times 10^5 \, \text{m/s} \). When the electric field is switched off, the proton moves along a circular path of radius 2 cm. The magnitude of electric field is \( x \times 10^4 \, \text{N/C} \). The value of \( x \) is \(\_\_\_\_\_\). (Take the mass of the proton as \( 1.6 \times 10^{-27} \, \text{kg} \)).

Concepts Used:
Haloalkanes and Haloarenes
The hydrocarbons such as Haloalkanes and Haloarenes are the ones, in which one or more hydrogen atoms are replaced with halogen atoms. The main difference between Haloalkanes and Haloarenes is that Haloalkanes are derived from open chained hydrocarbons, also called alkanes, and Haloarenes are derived from aromatic hydrocarbons.
- Haloalkanes have hydrocarbons made up of aliphatic alkanes and one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by halogens (elements such as Chlorine, Bromine, Fluorine, Iodine, etc.) whereas, haloarenes consist of aromatic ring or rings and one or more hydrogen atoms replaced by halogens.
- In haloalkanes, the halogen atom is attached to the sp3 hybridized carbon atom of the alkyl group whereas, in haloarenes, the halogen atom is attached to the sp3 hybridized carbon atom of the alkyl group.
- Haloalkanes are saturated organic compounds where all the chemical bonds are attached to the carbon atom with single bonds and a single carbon atom is attached to the Halogen atom, whereas, the haloarenes differ from Haloalkanes by their method of preparation and properties.
- Haloalkanes are made by aliphatic alkanes by the process of free radical halogenation, whereas, haloarenes are made by direct halogenation of aromatic rings.
- Haloalkanes are odorless compounds, whereas, haloarenes have a sweet odor.
- Haloalkanes precipitate in SN2 substitution reactions, whereas, haloarenes do not precipitate in SN2 substitution reactions.
- Example of haloalkanes is CH3Cl (Methyl Chloride) and CH3CH2Br (Ethyl Bromide) and the example of haloarenes is Chlorobenzene, Bromobenzene.
