$A$ charge $+Q$ is moving upwards vertically. It enters a magnetic field directed to the north. The force on the charge will be towards

The diode used in the circuit shown in the figure has a constant voltage drop of $0.5 \, V$ at all currents and a maximum power rating of $100 \, mW$. What should be the value of the resistor $R$,connected in series with the diode,to obtain the maximum current?

Suppose $E$ and $F$ are two events of a random experiment. If the probability of occurrence of $E$ is $1/5$ and the probability of occurrence of $F$ given $E$ is $1/10$,then the probability of non-occurrence of at least one of the events $E$ and $F$ is

Two metal plates each of area $A$ form a parallel plate capacitor with air in between the plates. The distance between the plates is $d$. $A$ metal plate of thickness $d/2$ and of same area $A$ is inserted between the plates to form two capacitors of capacitances $C_1$ and $C_2$ as shown in the figure. If the effective capacitance of the two capacitors is $C^{\prime}$ and the capacitance of the capacitor initially is $C$,then $C^{\prime}/C$ is

In flowering plants,senescence is an active cellular process that suggests growth and function. This is best exemplified by:

Assertion $(A)$: The aqueous solution of $CH_3COONa$ is alkaline in nature. Reason $(R)$: Acetate ion undergoes anionic hydrolysis. The correct answer is
