One main scale division of a Vernier caliper is ‘a’ cm and $n^{th}$ division of the Vernier scale coincides with $(n-1)^{th}$ division of the main scale. The least count of the caliper in mm is:

(A) $ \frac {10na}{(n-1)} $
(B) $ \frac {10a}{(n-1)}$
(C) $ \frac {10a}{n} $
(D) $ (\frac {n-1}{10n})a$ Continue reading One main scale division of a Vernier caliper is ‘a’ cm ….

An extended object is placed at point O, 10 cm in front of a convex lens $L_1$ and a concave lens $L_2$ is placed 10 cm behind it, as shown in the figure. The radii of curvature of all the curved surfaces in both the lenses are 20 cm. The refractive index of both the lenses is 1.5. The total magnification of this lens system is

(A) 0.4         (B) 0.8         (C) 1.3         (D) 1.6 Continue reading An extended object is placed at point O …

Mole Concept

In chemistry, a mole is a unit of measurement used to express the amount of a substance. One mole of a substance contains Avogadro’s number of particles, which is approximately 6.02 x 1023. The concept of the mole is essential to chemistry as it allows chemists to easily calculate the amount of a substance in a reaction and convert between units of mass, volume, and number of particles.

Let $\theta_1,\theta_1,……..,\theta_{10}$ be positive valued angles (in radian) such that $\theta_1+\theta_2+……..+\theta_{10}=2\pi$. Define the complex numbers $z_1=e^{i\theta_1},z_k=z_{k-1}e^{i\theta_k}$ for k=2, 3, …….., 10 where $i=\sqrt {-1}$. Consider the statements P and Q given below:

P: $|z_2-z_1|+|z_3-z_2|+………..+|z_{10}-z_9|+|z_1-z_{10}|\leq 2\pi $

Q: $|z_2^2-z_1^2|+|z_3^2-z_2^2|+………..+|z_{10}^2-z_9^2|+|z_1^2-z_{10}^2|\leq 4\pi $

Then,

(A) P is TRUE and Q is FALSE
(B) Q is TRUE and P is FALSE
(C) both P and Q are TRUE
(D) both P and Q are FALSE Continue reading Let $\theta_1,\theta_1,……..,\theta_{10}$ be …
