MCQ
A physical quantity $A$ is dependent on other four physical quantities $p, q, r$ and $s$ as given below $A=\frac{\sqrt{pq}}{r^2s^3} .$ The percentage error of measurement in $p, q, r$ and $s$  $1\%,$ $3\%,\,\, 0.5\%$ and $0.33\%$ respectively, then the maximum percentage error in $A$ is .......... $\%$
  • A
    $2$
  • B
    $0$
  • $4$
  • D
    $3$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$4$
c
$\frac{\Delta \mathrm{A}}{\mathrm{A}}=\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta \mathrm{P}}{\mathrm{P}}+\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta \mathrm{q}}{\mathrm{q}}+\frac{2 \Delta \mathrm{r}}{\mathrm{r}}+3 \frac{\Delta \mathrm{s}}{\mathrm{s}}$

$=0.5+1.5+1+1=4 \%$

When a particle is restricted to move along $x$-axis between $x=0$ and $x=a$, where $a$ is of nanometer dimension, its energy can take only certain specific values. The allowed energies of the particle moving in such a restricted region, correspond to the formation of standing waves with nodes at its ends $x=0$ and $x=a$. The wavelength of this standing wave is related to the linear momentum $p$ of the particle according to the de Broglie relation. The energy of the particle of mass $m$ is related to its linear momentum as $E=\frac{p^2}{2 m}$. Thus, the energy of the particle can be denoted by a quantum number ' $n$ ' taking values $1,2,3, \ldots \quad(n=1$, called the ground state) corresponding to the number of loops in the standing wave.

Use the model described above to answer the following three questions for a particle moving in the line $x=0$ to $x=a$. Take $h=6.6 \times 10^{-34} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~s}$ and $e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \mathrm{C}$.

Two capacitors of equal capacitance $(C_1 = C_2)$ are shown in the figure. Initially, while the switch $S$ is open, one of the capacitors is uncharged and the other carries charge $Q_0$. The energy stored in the charged capacitor is $U_0$. Sometimes after the switch is closed, the capacitors $C_1$ and $C_2$ carry charges $Q_1$ and $Q_2$, respectively; the voltages across the capacitors are $ V_1$ and $V_2$; and the energies stored in the capacitors are $U_1$ and $U_2$.
