In the circuit shown below, the key is pressed at time t = 0. Which of the following statement(s) is(are) true?

- A The voltmeter displays -5V as soon as the key is pressed, and displays +5V after a long time
- B The voltmeter will display 0 V at time t = ln 2 seconds
- C The current in the ammeter becomes 1/e of the initial value after 1 second
- D The current in the ammeter becomes zero after a long time
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) The voltmeter displays -5V as soon as the key is pressed, and displays +5V after a long time
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
(i) At t = 0, capacitor acts as short - circuit
The the reading of voltmeter will be -5 V
At capacitor acts as open circuit and no current flows through voltmeter.

If it is ideal voltmeter then its resistance is infinite & therefore it will read +5V
(ii)

The the reading of voltmeter will be -5 VAt capacitor acts as open circuit and no current flows through voltmeter.

If it is ideal voltmeter then its resistance is infinite & therefore it will read +5V
(ii)

- Paragraph :
A spray gun is shown in the figure where a piston pushes air out of a nozzle. A thin tube of uniform cross section is connected to the nozzle. The other end of the tube is in a small liquid container. As the piston pushes air through the nozzle, the liquid from the container rises into the nozzle and is sprayed out. For the spray gun shown, the radii of the piston and the nozzle are \(20 \mathrm{~mm}\) and \(1 \mathrm{~mm}\), respectively. The upper end of the container is open to the atmosphere.

JEE Advanced 2011 Hard - Paragraph :
Phase space diagrams are useful tools in analyzing all kinds of dynamical problems. They are especially useful in studying the changes in motion as initial position and momentum are changed. Here we consider some simple dynamical systems in one-dimension. For such systems, phase space is a plane in which position is plotted along horizontal axis and momentum is plotted along vertical axis. The phase space diagram is \(x(t) v s p(t)\) curve in this plane. The arrow on the
curve indicates the time flow. For example, the phase space diagram for a particle moving with constant velocity is a straight line as shown in the figure. We use the sign convention in which position or momentum upwards (or to right) is positive and downwards (or to left) is negative.
