1.	Sweta goes to physics laboratory in her practical class. Her teacher reaches late. In the mean time she notices that a student handles a circuit containing capacitor carelessly. She advises him not to handle the capacitor in such way otherwise he may get a severe shock.(a) According to you what values are displayed by Sweta ?(b) Why does she advise him not to handle capacitor carelessly ? Explain
Answer» (a) (i) Ability to take prompt decision. (ii) Knowledge of subject matter. (iii) Proper responsibility. 2 (b) If there is no current in the circuit, the capacitor may have charge. So, by handling a charged capacitor a person may get a severe shock. Thus, the circuit containing a capacitor must be handled carefully

Answer»

(a) (i) Ability to take prompt decision.

(ii) Knowledge of subject matter.

(iii) Proper responsibility. 2

(b) If there is no current in the circuit, the capacitor may have charge. So, by handling a charged capacitor a person may get a severe shock. Thus, the circuit containing a capacitor must be handled carefully

What are the forms of energy into which the electrical energy of the atmosphere is dissipated during a lightning?(Hint: The earth has an electric field of about 100 Vm1 at its surface in the downward direction, corresponding to a surface charge density = -10-9 Cm-2. Due to the slight conductivity of the atmosphere upto about 50 km (beyond which it is good conductor), about +1800 C is pumped every second into the earth as a whole. The earth, however, does hot get discharged since thunderstorms and lightening occurring continually all over the globe pump an equal amount of negative charge on the earth).
The discharging current in the atmosphere due to the small conductivity of air is known to be 1800 A on an average over the globe. Why then does the atmosphere not discharge itself completely in due course and become electrically neutral? In other words, what keeps the atmosphere charged?
