JEE Advanced · Mathematics · 13. Parabola
Paragraph:
Read the following passage and answer the questions.
Let \(A B C D\) be a square of side length 2 units. \(C_2\) is the circle through vertices \(A, B, C, D\) and \(C_1\) is the circle touching all the sides of square \(A B C D\). \(L\) is the line through \(A\).Question:
A circle touches the line \(L\) and the circle \(C_1\) externally such that both the circles are on the same side of the line, then the locus of centre of the circle is
- A
ellipse
- B
hyperbola
- C
parabola
- D
parts of straight line
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(C)
parabola
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Let \(C\) be the centre of the required circle.
Now, draw a line parallel to \(L\) at a distance of \(r_1\) (radius of \(C_1\) ) from it. Now, \(C P_1=A C\)
\(\Rightarrow C\) lies on a parabola.

Now, draw a line parallel to \(L\) at a distance of \(r_1\) (radius of \(C_1\) ) from it. Now, \(C P_1=A C\)
\(\Rightarrow C\) lies on a parabola.

Copper is the most noble of the first row transition metals and occurs in small deposits in several countries. Ores of copper include chalcanthite \(\left(\mathrm{CuSO}_4 \cdot 5 \mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)\), atacamite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{OH})_3\right)\), cuprite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{O}\right)\), copper glance \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2 \mathrm{~S}\right)\) and malachite \(\left(\mathrm{Cu}_2(\mathrm{OH})_2 \mathrm{CO}_3\right)\). However, 80\% of the world copper production comes from the ore chalcopyrite \(\left(\mathrm{CuFeS}_2\right)\). The extraction of copper from chalcopyrite involves partial roasting, removal of iron and self-reduction.

- Paragraph :
A special metal \(S\) conducts electricity without any resistance. A closed wire loop, made of \(S\), does not allow any change in flux through itself by inducing a suitable current to generate a compensating flux. The induced current in the loop cannot decay due to its zero resistance. This current gives rise to a magnetic moment which in turn repels the source of magnetic field or flux. Consider such a loop, of radius \(a\), with its center at the origin. A magnetic dipole of moment \(m\) is brought along the axis of this loop from infinity to a point at distance \(r(\gg a)\) from the center of the loop with its north pole always facing the loop, as shown in the figure below.
The magnitude of magnetic field of a dipole \(m\), at a point on its axis at distance \(r\), is \(\frac{\mu_{0}}{2 \pi} \frac{m}{r^{3}}\), where \(\mu_{0}\) is the permeability of free space. The magnitude of the force between two magnetic dipoles with moments, \(m_{1}\) and \(m_{2}\), separated by a distance \(r\) on the common axis, with their north poles facing each other, is \(\frac{k m_{1} m_{2}}{r^{4}}\), where \(k\) is a constant of appropriate dimensions. The direction of this force is along the line joining the two dipoles.
