Assume that there is no repulsive force between the electrons in an atom but the force between positive and negative charges is given by Coulomb’s law as usual. Under such circumstances, calculate the ground state energy of a $He -$ atom.
The inverse square law in electrostatics is $|\text{F}|=\frac{\text{e}^2}{(4\pi\epsilon_0)\text{r}^2}$ for the force between an electron and a proton. The $\Big(\frac{1}{\text{r}}\Big)$ dependence of $|F|$ can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the 'particle' of light $($photon$)$ is massless. If photons had a mass $m_p$, force would be modified to $|\text{F}|=\frac{\text{e}^2}{(4\pi\epsilon_0)\text{r}^2}\Big[\frac{1}{\text{r}^2}+\frac{\lambda}{\text{r}}\Big].\text{e}\times\text{p}(-\lambda\text{r})$ where $\lambda=\frac{\text{m}_\text{p}\text{c}}{\text{h}}$ and $\text{h}=\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}$. Estimate the change in the ground state energy of a $H-$ atom if $m_p$ were $10^{-6}$ times the mass of an electron.
Suppose the ceiling in the previous problem is that of an elevator which is going up with an acceleration of $2.0m/s^2$. Find the elongations.
A bullet of mass 25g is fired horizontally into a ballistic pendulum of mass 5.0kg and gets embedded in it. If the centre of the pendulum rises by a distance of 10cm, find the speed of the bullet.
A square loop of side $12\ cm$ with its sides parallel to $X$ and $Y$ axes is moved with a velocity of $8\ cms^{–1}$ in the positive $x-$ direction in an environment containing a magnetic field in the positive $z-$ direction. The field is neither uniform in space nor constant in time. It has a gradient of $10^{–3}T \ cm^{–1}$ along the negative $x-$ direction $($that is it increases by $10^{–3}T \ cm^{–1}$ as one moves in the negative $x-$ direction$),$ and it is decreasing in time at the rate of $10 ^{–3}T s^{–1}$. Determine the direction and magnitude of the induced current in the loop if its resistance is $4.50 m\Omega$ .
If the outer coil of the previous problem is rotated through 90° about a diameter, what would be the magnitude of the magnetic field B at the centre?
A room has a window fitted with a single $1.0m \times 2.0m$ glass of thickness $2 \ mm.$
  1. Calculate the rate of heat flow through the closed window when the temperature inside the room is $32^\circ C$ and that outside is $40^\circ C.$
  2. The glass is now replaced by two glasspanes, each having a thickness of $1 \ mm$ and separated by a distance of $1 \ mm.$ Calculate the rate of heat flow under the same conditions of temperature. Thermal conductivity of window glass $= 1.0Js^{-1}m^{-1^\circ }C^{-1}$ and that of air $= 0.025Js^{-1}m^{-1^\circ }C^{-1}.$
Suppose we want to verify the analogy between electrostatic and magnetostatic by an explicit experiment. Consider the motion of (i) electric dipole p in an electrostatic field E and (ii) magnetic dipole m in a magnetic field B. Write down a set of conditions on E, B, p, m so that the two motions are verified to be identical. (Assume identical initial conditions.)

Asha’s mother read an article in the newspaper about a disaster that took place at Chernobyl. She could not understand much from the article and asked a few questions from Asha regarding the article. Asha tried to answer her mother’s questions based on what she learnt in Class XII Physics.
  1. What was the installation at Chernobyl where the disaster took place? What, according to you, was the cause of this disaster?
  2. Explain the process of release of energy in the installation at Chernobyl.
  3. What, according to you, were the values displayed by Asha and her mother?
