This section contains 2 paragraphs. Based upon the first paragraph 3 multiple choice questions and based upon the second
paragraph 2 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 Question 14 to 16

Copper is the most noble of the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several countries. Ores of copper
include chalcanthite (CuSO

Paragraph for Question Nos. 73 to 74


Electrical resistance of certain materials, known as superconductors,
changes abruptly from a nonzero value to zero as their temperature is
lowered below a critical temperature T
C
(0). An interesting property of
superconductors is that their critical temperature becomes smaller than
T
C
(0) if they are placed in a magnetic field, i.e., the critical temperature
T
C
(B) is a function of the magnetic field strength B. The dependence of
T
C
(B) on B is shown in the figure.

SECTION III
Paragraph Type
This section contains 2 paragraphs. Based upon the 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 Question Nos. 50 to 52
When liquid medicine of density is to be put in the eye, it is done with the help of a dropper. As the bulb on the top of the
dropper is pressed, a drop forms at the opening of the dropper. We wish to estimate the size of the drop. We first assume that
the drop formed at the opening is spherical because that requires a minimum increase in its surface energy. To determine the
size, we calculate the net vertical force due to the surface tension T when the radius of the drop is R. When this force
becomes smaller than the weight of the drop, the drop gets detached from the dropper.

*50. If the radius of the opening of the dropper is r, the vertical force due to the surface tension on the drop of radius R (assuming
r << R) is

Paragraph for Question Nos. 53 to 55

The key feature of Bohrs theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is
revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a
diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohrs quantization condition.
