 For Example : If first, third and fourth are the ONLY three correct options for a questionwith second
option being an incorrect option; selecting only all the three correct options willresult in +4 marks. Selecting
only two of the three correct options (e.g. the first and fourth options), without selecting any incorrect option
(second option in this case), will result in +2 marks. Selecting only one of the three correct options (either
first or third or fourth option), without selecting any incorrect option (second option in this case), will result
in +1 marks. Selecting any incorrect option(s) (second option in this case), with or without selection of
any correct option(s) will result in –2 marks.

Paragraph for question 13 to 14
A small charged sphere (mass M, charge Q) is connected by a light, inextensible, non-conducting string of
length L to a fixed point P (0, 2L). The sphere is at rest in equilibrium in the position A. The sphere is free to
slide on a non-conducting, frictionless, horizontal surface (designated as OXY plane). Along the x-axis lies an
infinite line charge. The sphere is to be imparted a velocity uiˆ at position A so that it moves in a complete
circle about the center P. B, C, D are points on the circumference of the circle, BD parallel to line charge and
AC normal to line charge.

Paragraph for Question No. 15 and 16
C-frame or centre of mass frame is a frame in which centre of mass of system remains at rest. One of the
simple but very important feature of this frame is that total momentum of system always remains zero. Due to
this freature of this frame, it is very convenient to deal with collision of two bodies in this frame. Let us
 
consider an elastic head-on collision between two bodies having before collision momenta p1 and p2 . In
 
centre of mass frame if one of the body has momentum p' then other must have  p' . If after collision one
 
body has momentum p'' then other must have  p '' in C-frame. Also since K.E. remains conserved before
and after collision, so p'2  p"2 p' = –p" (p' p") so we conclude in head-on elastic collision, in C-frame,
velocities of colliding objects simply get reversed.
15. In an head-on perfectly inelastic collision (e = 0), which of the following diagram represents momenta of
particles IN C-FRAME ?
p –p p' p' p p p' –p
