If the numerical value has more than two decimal places, truncate/round-off the value to TWO decimal places.
JEE Advanced 2022 Medium - Paragraph:
Modern trains are based on Maglev technology in which trains are magnetically leviated, which runs its EDS Maglev system.
There are coils on both sides of wheels. Due to motion of train, current induces in the coil of track which levitate it. This is in accordance with Lenz's law. If trains lower down then due to Lenz's law a repulsive force increases due to which train gets uplifted and if it goes much high then there is a net downward force disc to gravity. The advantage of Maglev train is that there is no friction between the train and the track, thereby reducing power consumption and enabling the train to attain very high speeds.
Disadvantage of Maglev train is that as it slows down the electromagnetic forces decreases and it becomes difficult to keep it leviated and as it moves forward according to Lenz law, there is an electromagnetic drag force.

What is the advantage of this system?JEE Advanced 2006 Medium - Paragraph:
A point charge \(Q\) is moving in a circular orbit of radius \(R\) in the \(x-y\) plane with an angular velocity \(\omega .\) This can be considered as equivalent to a loop carrying a steady current \(\frac{Q \omega}{2 \pi}\). A uniform magnetic field along the positive \(z\)-axis is now switched on, which increases at a constant rate from 0 to \(B\) in one second. Assume that the radius of the orbit remains constant. The application of the magnetic field induces an emf in the orbit. The induced emf is defined as the work done by an induced electric field in moving a unit positive charge around a closed loop. It is known that, for an orbiting charge, the magnetic dipole moment is proportional to the angular momentum with a proportionality constant \(\gamma\).
Question:
The magnitude of the induced electric field in the orbit at any instant of time during the time interval of the magnetic field change isJEE Advanced 2013 Medium - Paragraph
The key feature of Bohr's theory of spectrum of hydrogen atom is the quantization of angular momentum when an electron is revolving around a proton. We will extend this to a general rotational motion to find quantized rotational energy of a diatomic molecule assuming it to be rigid. The rule to be applied is Bohr's quantization condition.
Question:
It is found that the excitation frequency from ground to the first excited state of rotation for the \(\mathrm{CO}\) molecule is close to \(\frac{4}{\pi} \times 10^{11} \mathrm{~Hz}\). Then the moment of inertia of CO molecule about its centre of mass is close to (Take \(h=2 \pi \times 10^{-34} J-s\) )JEE Advanced 2010 Hard - A cylindrical furnace has height and diameter both . It is maintained at temperature . The air getsheated inside the furnace at constant pressureand its temperature becomes . The hot air with density rises up a vertical chimney of diameter and height above the furnace and exits the chimney (seethe figure). As a result, atmospheric air of density,pressure and temperature entersthe furnace. Assume air as an ideal gas, neglect the variations inand inside the chimney and the furnace. Also ignore the viscous effects.
