An ideal gas enclosed in a vertical cylindrical container supports a freely moving piston of mass M. The piston and cylinder have equal cross sectional area A. When the piston is in equilibrium, the volume of the gas is V0 and its pressure is P0. The piston is slightly displaced from the equilibrium position and released. Assuming that the system is completely isolated from its surrounding, the piston executes a simple harmonic motion with frequency
Assume that a drop of liquid evaporates by decrease in its surface energy, so that its temperature remains unchanged. What should be the minimum radius of the drop for this to be possible? The surface tension is T, the density of liquid is ρ and L is its latent heat of vaporisation.
ρL/T
T/ρL
T/ρL
If a piece of metal is heated to temperature θ and then allowed to cool in a room which is at temperature θ0 the graph between the temperature T of the metal and time t will be closest to
Two capacitors C1 and C2 are charged to 120 V and 200 V respectively. It is found that by connecting them together the potential on each one can be made zero. Then
5C1 = 3C2
3C1 = 5C2
3C1 = 5C2 = 0
3C1 = 5C2 = 0

This question has statement I and statement II. Of the four choices given after the statements, choose the one that best describes the two statements.
Statement- I: Higher the range, greater is the resistance of ammeter.
Statement- II: To increase the range of ammeter, additional shunt needs to be used across it.
Statement – I is true, Statement – II is true, Statement – II is the correct explanation of statement- I.
Statement – I is true, Statement – II is true, Statement – II is not the correct explanation of Statement–I.
Statement – I is true, statement – II is false.
Statement – I is true, statement – II is false.
In an LCR circuit as shown below both switches are open initially. Now switch S1 is closed, S2 kept open. (q is charge on the capacitor and τ = RC is capacitive time constant). Which of the following statement is correct?
Work done by the battery is half of the energy dissipated in the resistor
At t = τ, q = CV/2
At t = 2τ, q = CV (1-e-2)
At t = 2τ, q = CV (1-e-2)
