.tzt. should answer both the question papers in two separate
answer books entering their enrolment number, course
code and course title clearly on both the answer books.
2. Students who have registered for PHE-4 or PHE-5
should answer the relevant question paper after entering
their enrolment number, course code and course title on
the answer book.

indicated against it.
l'HE-4
1. Attempt any three parts : 4x3=12
(a) Show that
(7) = (T;
- a -d) 1-1.;
(b) A particle moves along a curve whose
parametric equations are x e t, y=2 cos
3t, z=2 sin 3t, where t is the time.
Determine the magnitude of the velocity and
acceleration at t = 0.
(c) Given that E — V (I) and v.E = p / e0
Determine the electric field E and the
charge distribution p that corresponds to the
potential (I) = kc, (x2 + y2 + Z2) ,
(d) Express the following vector field in
spherical polar coordinates.
A
k j— y
F— 2
(e) Evaluate J F ' d r from (0, 0) to (1, 2) for
the field -->
F. = 3x y i— y2 1, where C is the
curve y = 2 x- in the x y plane.
PHE-4 2
2. State the divergence theorem. Using divergence 1+4
-4 ,
theorem evaluate n r .nd,,, where
=4xz -+- z k and S. is the surface of
the cube bounded by x = 0, x = 1, ij= 0, v=1, z -0
and z =1. ^ is the unit vector normal to the
surface S.
OR
State Stoke's theorem. Show that for a 1+4
-4
conservative force field F curl F is zero
everywhere.
3. Suppose four coins are tossed. Let X designate 3
the number of heads which appear. Calculate
E (X).
OR
A box contain 4 bad and 6 good tubes. Two tubes 3
are drawn from the box at a time. One of them is
tested and found to be good. What is the
probability that the other one is also good ?
4. Derive the expression for the mean and variance 5
of the Poisson distribution
p (x ; ; x 0 1, 7 ,
x
OR
PHE-4 3
The measurement of surface tension, S of water 5
at various temperatures are given in the following
table.
T (°C ) 10 20 30 40 50 60
