Statement 1 The stream of water flowing at high speed from a garden hose pipe tends to spread like a fountain when held vertically up, but tends to narrow down when held vertically down.
and Statement 2 In any steady flow of an incompressible fluid, the volume flow rate of the fluid remains constant.
- A Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- B Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is not a correct explanation for Statement 1.
- C Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is false.
- D Statement 1 is false, Statement 2 is true
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(A) Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is a correct explanation for Statement 1.
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
From continuity equation,
\(A v=\text { constant or } A \propto \frac{1}{v}\)
At lower heights, speed will be more. Therefore, area of cross-section will be less. \(\therefore\) correct option is (a).
\(A v=\text { constant or } A \propto \frac{1}{v}\)
At lower heights, speed will be more. Therefore, area of cross-section will be less. \(\therefore\) correct option is (a).

- A charge is kept at the central point \(\mathrm{P}\) of a cylindrical region. The two edges subtend a half-angle \(\theta\) at \(\mathrm{P}\), as shown in the figure. When \(\theta=30^{\circ}\), then the electric flux through the curved surface of the cylinder is \(\Phi\). If \(\theta=60^{\circ}\), then the electric flux through the curved surface becomes \(\Phi / \sqrt{n}\), where the value of \(n\) is _______ .

- A water cooler of storage capacity 120 litres can cool water at constant rate of P watts. In a closed circulation system (as shown schematically in the figure), the water from the cooler is used to cool an external device that generates constantly 3 kW of heat (thermal load). The temperature of water fed into the device cannot exceed and the entire stored 120 litres of water is initially cooled to . The entire system is thermally insulated. The minimum value of P (in watts) for which the device can be operated for 3 hours is:

(Specific heat of water is 4.2 kJ and the density of water is 1000 kg )JEE Advanced 2016 Hard - Most materials have the refractive index, \(n>1\). So, when a light ray from air enters a naturally occurring material, then by Snell's
law, \(\frac{\sin \theta_{1}}{\sin \theta_{2}}=\frac{n_{2}}{n_{1}}\), it is understood that the refracted ray bends towards the normal. But it never emerges on the same side of the normal as the incident ray. According to electromagnetism, the refractive index of the medium is given by the relation, \(\mathrm{n}=c / v=\pm \sqrt{\varepsilon_{r} \mu_{r}}\), where \(c\) is the speed of electromagnetic waves in vacuum, \(v\) its speed in the medium, \(\varepsilon_{r}\) and \(\mu_{r}\) are the relative permittivity and permeability of the medium respectively. In normal materials, both \(\varepsilon_{r}\) and \(\mu_{r}\), are positive, implying positive \(n\) for the medium. When both \(\varepsilon_{r}\) and \(\mu_{r}\) are negative, one must choose the negative root of \(n\). Such negative refractive index materials can now be artificially prepared and are called metamaterials. They exhibit significantly different optical behavior, without violating any physical laws. Since \(n\) is negative, it results in a change in the direction of propagation of the refracted light. However, similar to normal materials, the frequency of light remains unchanged upon refraction even in meta-materials.
Question : Choose the correct statement.JEE Advanced 2012 Easy - 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.
Question:
Which force causes the train to elevate up?JEE Advanced 2006 Easy - A charged shell of radius carries a total charge Given as the flux of electric field through a closed cylindrical surface of height radius and with its center same as that of the shell.
