An accelration produces a narrow beam of protons, each having an initial speed of v_(0) . The beam is directed towards an initially uncharges distant metal sphere of radius R and centered at point O. The initial path of the beam is parallel to the axis of the sphere at a distance of (R//2) from the axis, as indicated in the diagram. The protons in the beam that collide with the sphere will cause it to becomes charged. The subsequentpotential field at the accelerator due to the sphere can be neglected. The angular momentum of a particle is defined in a similar way to the moment of a force. It is defined as the moment of its linear momentum, linear replacing the force. We may assume the angular momentum of a proton about point O to be conserved. Assume the mass of the proton as m_(P) and the charge on it as e. Given that the potential of the sphere increases with time and eventually reaches a constant velue. After a long time, when the potential of the sphere reaches a constant value, the trajectory of proton is correctly sketched as

The term "water-pollution" can be defined in several ways. Which of the following statements does not give the correct definition ?

An electric field is defined in terms of q_(0) a small positive charge. If the definition was in terms of a small negative charge of the same magnitude, then compared to the original field the newly defined electric field. (a) would point in the same direction and have the same magnitude. (b) would point in the opposite direction and have the same magnitude. (c ) would point in the same direction and have the different magnitude. (d) would point in the opposite direction and have the different magnitude.

Seeing the growing cases of diabetes and depression among young children, Mr. Chopra, the principal of one reputed school organized a seminar in which he invited parents and principals. They all resolved this issue by strictly banning junk food in schools and introducing healthy snacks and drinks like soup, lassi, milk, etc. in school canteens. They also decided to make compulsory half an hour of daily physical activities for the students in the morning assembly. After six months, Mr. Chopra conducted the health survey in most of the schools and discovered a tremendous improvement in the health of the students. After reading the above passage, answer the following questions : (i) What are the values (at least two) displayed by Mr. Chopra ? (ii) As a student, how can you spread awareness about this issue ? (iii) Why should antidepressant drugs not be taken without consulting a doctor ? (iv) Give two examples of artificial sweeteners.
