A value of $$\alpha $$ such that
$$\int\limits_\alpha ^{\alpha + 1} {{{dx} \over {\left( {x + \alpha } \right)\left( {x + \alpha + 1} \right)}}} = {\log _e}\left( {{9 \over 8}} \right)$$ is :

An electron, moving along the x-axis with an initial energy of 100 eV, enters a region of magnetic field $$\overrightarrow B = \left( {1.5 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}T} \right)\widehat k$$ at S (See figure). The field extends between x = 0 and x = 2 cm. The electron is detected at the point Q on a screen placed 8 cm away from the point S. The distance d between P and Q (on the screen) is : (electron’s charge = 1.6 × 10^–19 C, mass of electron = 9.1 × 10^–31 kg)

A moving coil galvanometer, having a resistance G, produces full scale deflection when a current Ig flows through it. This galvanometer can be converted into (i) an ammeter of range 0 to I₀(I₀ > I_g) by connecting a shunt resistance R_A to it and (ii) into a voltmeter of range 0 to V (V = GI₀) by connecting a series resistance R_V to it. Then,

The number density of molecules of a gas depends on their distance r from the origin as, $$n\left( r \right) = {n_0}{e^{ - \alpha {r^4}}}$$. Then the total number of molecules is proportional to :
