What is meant by power of a lens ? Write the SI unit. A student uses a lens of focal length 40 cm and another of - 20 cm. Write the nature and power of each lens.

Answer»

The reciprocal of the focal length of a lens is termed as power of a lens.

Power= 1/ Focal length

SI unit of power is Dioptre.

Focal length +40 cm of a lens tells that it is convex lens as its focal length is in positive =p=1/f=100/40=+2.5D

Focal length - 20 cm tells that it is concave lens=p=1/f= 100/-20=5D.

 What does an electric circuit mean ? Name a device that helps to maintain a potential di{ference across a conductor in a circuit. When do we say that the potential difference across a conductor is 1 volt ? Calculate the amount work done in shifting a charge of 2 coulombs from a point A to B having potentials 110 V and 25 V respectively.

Answer»

Electric circuit : The closed path along which an electric current flows is called an ‘electric circuit’. The device that helps to maintain a potential difference across a conductor in a circuit are : electric cell, electric battery, electric generator.
1 Volt : The potential difference between two points in an electric field is said to one volt if one joule of work has to be done in bringing a positive charge of one coulomb from one point to another.
1 Volt =1Joule/1Coulomb  or 1 V =1J/1C
Work done = V (Potential difference) × Q (Coulombs)
W = V × Q= 85 × 2 = 170 Joule

Answer»

Electric circuit : The closed path along which an electric current flows is called an ‘electric circuit. 

The device that helps to maintain a potential difference across a conductor in a circuit are :  

Electric cell, electric battery, electric generator

1 Volt : The potential difference between two points in an electric field is said to be one volt if one joule of work is done in moving one coulomb of electric charge from one point to another.

1 volt = 1 joule/ 1 Coulomb or 1 V = 1 J /1 C 

Work done = V (Potential difference) × Q (Coulombs) 

W = V × Q 

 = 85 × 2 

 = 170 Joule.

Difference between static and dynamic content.

Answer»

Static Content 

The content of a website that remains the same across pages is referred to as static content. This could be served from a database as well, but it would be the same across all pages. For instance, the navigation menu, logo of the website, or any other information on the header or footer would not depend on inputs from the visitor.  In the following screenshot, the static content is highlighted in yellow and dynamic content is highlighted in red for easy reference.

Dynamic Content 

The content of a website that does not remain constant and changes according to user input(s) is referred to as dynamic content. For instance, in case of a product page, all product details such as Product Name, Price, Quantity, and Description are stored in a database and are fetched when a user is viewing a the webpage of a particular product. Therefore, this content is dynamically generated by the CMS and it changes across products.

State and Prove Idempotent law algebraically??

Answer»

Idempotent Law – An input that is AND´ed or OR´ed with itself is equal to that input   

A + A = A    A variable OR’ed with itself is always equal to the variable 

A . A = A    A variable AND’ed with itself is always equal to the variable

Proof: 

x + x = (x + x) • 1  (1 is the identity for AND)

= (x + x) • (x + x')   (Complement, x + x' = 1) 

= x + (x • x')    (OR distributes over AND) 

= x + 0    (Complement, x • x' = 0)

= x        (0 is the identity for OR)

A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 10 V is applied to a series LCR circuit in which resistance, capacitance and inductance have values of 10 Ω, 1μF and 1H respectively. Find (i) the peak voltage across the inductor at resonance (ii) quality factor of the circuit.

Answer»

I0 = V0/R = 10/10 = 1 A

ωr = 1/√LC = 1/√ (1 x 1 x 10-6) = 103 rad/s

V0 = I0 XL = I0 ωr L

= 1 x 103 x 1 = 103 V

Q = ωr L/R

= (103 x 1)/10 = 100

(a) Drift speed in B (n-type semiconductor) is higher

Reason: I = neAvd is same for both

n is much lower in semiconductors.

(b) Voltage drop across A will increase as the resistance of A increases with increase in temperature.

Voltage drop across B will decrease as resistance of B will decrease with increase in temperature.

(a) An electric dipole is kept first to the left and then to the right of a negatively charged infinite plane sheet having a uniform surface charge density. The arrows p1 and p2 show the directions of its electric dipole moment in the two cases.Identify for each case, whether the dipole is in stable or unstable equilibrium. Justify each answer.(b) Next, the dipole is kept in a similar way (as shown), near an infinitely long straight wire having uniform negative linear charge density.Will the dipole be in equilibrium at these two positions? Justify your answer.

Answer»

(a) p1: stable equilibrium

p2: unstable equilibrium

The electric field, on either side, is directed towards the negatively charged sheet and its magnitude is independent of the distance of the field point from the sheet. For position p1, dipole moment and electric field are parallel. For position p2, they are antiparallel.

(b) The dipole will not be in equilibrium in any of the two positions.

The electric field due to an infinite straight charged wire is non- uniform (E α 1/r).

Hence there will be a net non-zero force on the dipole in each case.

A particle, having a charge +5 μC, is initially at rest at the point x = 30 cm on the x axis. The particle begins to move due to the presence of a charge Q that is kept fixed at the origin. Find the kinetic energy of the particle at the instant it has moved 15 cm from its initial position if(a) Q =+15μC and (b) Q = -15μC

Answer»

From energy conservation, Ui + Ki = Uf + Kf

kQq/ri + 0 = kQq/rf + Kf

Kf = kQq (1/ri - 1/rf)

(a) When Q is +15 μC, q will move 15 cm away from it. Hence rf = 45 cm

Kf = 9x 109 x 15 x 10-6 x 5 x 10-6 [ 1/(30 x 10-2) – 1/(45 x 10-2)]

= 0.75 J

(b) When Q is -15 μC, q will move 15 cm towards it. Hence rf = 15 cm

Kf = 9 x 109 x (-15 x 10-6) x 5 x 10-6 [ 1/(30 x 10-2) – 1/(15 x 10-2)]

= 2.25 J

2994.

The price P for demand D is given as P = 183 + 120 D – 3D2 . Find D for which the price is increasing.

Answer»

The given function is p = 183 + 120 D – 3D2

:.    dP/dD = 120 – 6D

Now   dP/dD = 0 ⇒ 120 – 6 D = 0 ⇒ D = 20

For increasing the price

dP/dD > 0

120 – 6D > 0

– 6D > – 120

D < 120/6

D < 20.

Demand and price cannot be negative ∴ Price is increasing in the internal (0, 20).
