A steady current I flows through a wire of radius r, length L and resistivity ρ. The current produced heat in the
wire. The rate of heat loss in a wire is proportional to its surface area. The steady temperature of the wire is
independent of–
(A) L (B) r (C) I (D) ρ
A loop carrying current I has the shape of a regular polygon of n sides. If R is the distance from the centre to any
vertex, then the magnitude of the magnetic induction vector B
at the centre of the loop is
Seven identical coins are rigidly arranged on a flat table in the pattern shown below so that each coin touches its
neighbors. Each coin is a thin disc of mass m and radius r. Note that the moment of inertia of an individual coin
about an axis passing through centre and perpendicular to the plane of the coin is mr2 / 2
The moment of inertia of the system of seven coins about an axis that passes through the point P (the centre of the
coin positioned directly to the right of the central coin) and perpendicular to the plane of the coins is–
A liquid drop placed on a horizontal plane has a near spherical shape (slightly flattened due to gravity). Let R be
the radius of its largest horizontal section. A small disturbance causes the drop to vibrate with frequency v about
its equilibrium shape. By dimensional analysis the ratio

v
σ / ρR
can be (Here σ is surface tension, ρ is density,
g is acceleration due to gravity, and k is arbitrary dimensionless constant)
An ideal monatomic gas expands to twice its volume. If the process is isothermal, the magnitude of work done by
the gas is W1. If the process is adiabatic, the magnitude of work done by the gas is Wa . Which of the following is
true ?
(A) Wi = Wa > 0 (B) Wi > Wa = 0 (C) Wi >Wa > 0 (D) Wi > Wa > 0
Let S = {1, 2, 3, …..,n} and A = {(a, b) |1< a, b < n} = S x S. A subset B of A is said to be a good subset if
(x, x) ∈ B for every x ∈ S. Then the number of good subsets of A is
Suppose a1, a2, a3, …….,a2012 are integers arranged on a circle. Each number is equal to the average of its two
adjacent numbers. If the sum of all even indexed numbers is 3018, what is the sum of all numbers ?
(A) 0 (B) 1509 (C) 3018 (D) 6036
