Solution & Explanation

Core Logic

Evaluate dimensions step-by-step:

Planck's constant ( $h$ $h$):

$E = h u [h] = ([E])/([ u]) = ML²T⁻²T⁻¹ = ML²T⁻¹$

Angular momentum ( $L$ $L$):

L = mvr [L] = M \cdot LT⁻¹ \cdot L = ML²T⁻¹

Since $[h] = [L]$ $[h] = [L]$, Statement I is true.

Linear momentum ( $P$ $P$):

P = mv [P] = MLT⁻¹

Moment of force (Torque $τ$ $\tau$):

τ = F r [τ] = MLT⁻² \cdot L = ML²T⁻²

Since $[P] \neq [τ]$ $[P] \neq [\tau]$, Statement II is false.

Pattern Recognition

Planck's constant can always be paired with angular momentum units (Joule-seconds), while moment of force matches work/energy footprints, not translational momentum.

Q jee_main_2025_29_jan_morning Dimensional Homogeneity

The expression given below shows the variation of velocity (v) with time (t),

v = At² + (Bt)/(C + t)

. The dimension of ABC is:

A. $[M⁰ ~L² T⁻³]$
B. $[M⁰ ~L¹ T⁻³]$
C. $[M⁰L¹T⁻²]$
D. $[M⁰ ~L² T⁻²]$

Solution

Related Formula

[v] = [At²] = [(Bt)/(C+t)]

Core Logic

By the principle of dimensional homogeneity:

$[C] = [t] = [T]$ $[C] = [t] = [T]$
$[At²] = [v] [A][T²] = [LT⁻¹] [A] = [LT⁻³]$
$[(Bt)/(T)] = [v] [B] = [LT⁻¹]$

Step 1: Calculate Dimensions of ABC

[ABC] = [LT⁻³] \cdot [LT⁻¹] \cdot [T] = [L² T⁻³]

Pattern Recognition

Denominator terms matched first give $C$ $C$, tracking linear velocity units sets the balance for $A$ $A$ and $B$ $B$

Q42 jee_main_2024_01_february_morning Vernier Calliper

10 divisions on the main scale of a Vernier calliper coincide with 11 divisions on the Vernier scale. If each division on the main scale is of 5 units, the least count of the instrument is:

A. $(1)/(2)$ $\frac{1}{2}$
B. $(10)/(11)$ $\frac{10}{11}$
C. $(50)/(11)$ $\frac{50}{11}$
D. $(5)/(11)$ $\frac{5}{11}$

Solution

Related Formula

Least Count (LC) definition:

LC = 1 MSD - 1 VSD

Core Logic

From the problem:

10 MSD = 11 VSD 1 VSD = (10)/(11) MSD

Substitute into the Least Count formula:

LC = 1 MSD - (10)/(11) MSD = (1)/(11) MSD

Step 1: Calculate with Main Scale Units

Given that $1 MSD = 5 units$ $1\text{ MSD} = 5\text{ units}$:

LC = (1)/(11) \times 5 = (5)/(11) units

Pattern Recognition

Watch out for unconventional scale arrangements where $VSD > MSD$ $\text{VSD} > \text{MSD}$. The fundamental difference formula $1 MSD - 1 VSD$ $1\text{ MSD} - 1\text{ VSD}$ safely determines magnitudes without needing sign corrections.

Q44 jee_main_2024_01_february_morning Error Analysis

The radius (

r

), length (

l

) and resistance (

R

) of a metal wire was measured in the laboratory as:

r = (0.35 \pm 0.05)~cm

R = (100 \pm 10)~Ω

l = (15 \pm 0.2)~cm

The percentage error in resistivity of the material of the wire is:

A. 25.6%
B. 39.9%
C. 37.3%
D. 35.6%

Solution

Related Formula

Resistivity formula:

ρ = R(A)/(l) = R(π r²)/(l)

Maximum relative error equation:

(Δρ)/(ρ) = (Δ R)/(R) + 2(Δ r)/(r) + (Δ l)/(l)

Core Logic

Substitute the measured fractions:

(Δρ)/(ρ) = (10)/(100) + 2((0.05)/(0.35)) + (0.2)/(15)

(Δρ)/(ρ) = (1)/(10) + 2((1)/(7)) + (1)/(75)

(Δρ)/(ρ) = 0.1 + 0.2857 + 0.0133 = 0.399

Step 1: Convert to Percentage

% severance = 0.399 \times 100% = 39.9%

Pattern Recognition

The power of 2 in $r²$ $r^2$ doubles its fractional error impact, making it the most dominant source of error in this setup.

Q45 jee_main_2024_01_february_morning Dimensional Analysis

The dimensional formula of angular impulse is:

A. $[M L⁻²T⁻¹]$
B. $[M L²T⁻²]$
C. $[M L T⁻¹]$
D. $[M L²T⁻¹]$

Solution

Related Formula

Angular Impulse equation:

Angular Impulse = \int τ dt = Δ L

Angular Momentum (L) = mvr

Core Logic

By the impulse-momentum theorem for rotation, angular impulse equals the net change in angular momentum.

Extract dimensions from $[mvr]$ $[mvr]$:

[m] = [M]

[v] = [LT⁻¹]

[r] = [L]

Step 1: Combine Dimensions

[Angular Impulse] = [M] \times [LT⁻¹] \times [L] = [ML²T⁻¹]

Pattern Recognition

Angular impulse shares the exact same dimensional signature as Planck's constant ( $h$ $h$) and angular momentum ( $L$ $L$).

Q33 jee_main_2024_29_january_evening Error Analysis

A physical quantity

Q

is found to depend on quantities

a, b, c

by the relation

Q = (a⁴ b³)/(c²)

. The percentage error in

a, b

and

c

are

3%

4%

and

5%

respectively. Then, the percentage error in

Q

is:

A. $66%$ $66\%$
B. $43%$ $43\%$
C. $34%$ $34\%$
D. $14%$ $14\%$

Solution

Related Formula

For a quantity $Q = (a^x b^y)/(c^z)$ $Q = \frac{a^x b^y}{c^z}$, the maximum relative error is:

(Δ Q)/(Q) = x (Δ a)/(a) + y (Δ b)/(b) + z (Δ c)/(c)

Multiplying by $100$ $100$ gives the percentage error equation:

% error in Q = x(% error in a) + y(% error in b) + z(% error in c)

Core Logic

Given formula:

Q = (a⁴ b³)/(c²)

Applying the error propagation rule:

(Δ Q)/(Q) \times 100 = 4 ((Δ a)/(a) \times 100) + 3 ((Δ b)/(b) \times 100) + 2 ((Δ c)/(c) \times 100)

Step 1: Substitute the Percentage Errors

Substitute the given values:

$% error in a = 3%$ $\%\text{ error in } a = 3\%$
$% error in b = 4%$ $\%\text{ error in } b = 4\%$
$% error in c = 5%$ $\%\text{ error in } c = 5\%$

% error in Q = 4(3%) + 3(4%) + 2(5%)

% error in Q = 12% + 12% + 10% = 34%

Pattern Recognition

Error percentages always add up, weighted by their exponents in the mathematical expression, regardless of whether the variable is in the numerator or denominator.
