In the given circuit, the switch S is closed at time t = 0 . The charge Q on the capacitor at any instant t is given by `Q(t) = Q(1-e^(-alphat))`. Find the value of `Q_0` and `alpha` in terms of given parameters as shown in the circuit. .

Answer» Correct Answer - A::B::C
Given `Q = Q_0 [1-e^(alphat)]`
Here `Q_0 = Maximum charge and
`alpha = 1/(tau_c) = 1/(C_(Req))`
Now the maximum charge
`Q_0 = C[V_(0)]` where `V_0` = max potential difference across C
`= C[V/(R_1+R_2) xx R_2]`
and `tau_c = C R_(eq)`
`=C[(R_1R_2)/(R_1+R_2)] :. alpha = (1/tau_c) = (R_1 + R_2)/(CR_1R_2)`.

Two electric bulbs rated `P_(1)` and `P_(2)` watt at `V` volt are connected in series across `V` volt mains then their total power consumption `P` isA. `(P_(1)+P_(2))`B. `sqrt(P_(1)P_(2))`C. `P_(1)P_(2)//(P_(1)+P_(2))`D. `(P_(1)+P_(2))//P_(1)P_(2)`

Answer» Resistance of `I^(st)=` bulb `R_(1)=(V^(2))/(P_(1))`
Resistance of `II^(nd)` bulb `R_(2)=(V^(2))/(P_(2))`
When both bulb are connected in series
`R_(eq)=V^(2)[(1)/(P_(1))+(1)/(P_(2))]=(V^(2)(P_(1)+P_(2)))/(P_(1)P_(2))`
Hence power consumed `P=(V^(2))/(R )=(V^(2))/(V^(2)((P_(1)+P_(2))/(P_(1)P_(2))))=(P_(1)P_(2))/(P_(1)+P_(2))`

The potential difference across `PS V_(PS)=7.5xx1=7.5V`
The potential difference across `Q R`, `V_(QR)=1xx1=1V`
As point `G` is connected to earth hence potentials of `R` and `S` is zero.

Now, `R_(1) and R_(2)` are connected in parallel between A and B then,
`R_("eq")=(R_(1)R_(2))/(R_(1)+R_(2))=((Rtheta)/(2pi)xx(R(2pi-theta))/(2pi))/((Rtheta)/(2pi)+R(2pi-theta)/(2pi))=(Rtheta(2pi-theta))/(4pi^(2))`
`"Putting" theta=45^(@)=(pi)/(4) "rad" and R=15Omega `
`R_("eq")=((15xx(pi))/(4)xx(2pi-(pi)/(4)))/(4pi^(2))=((15)/(4)((7pi)/(4)))/(4pi^(2))=1.64Omega`

Two wires of different materials P and Q have resistance per unit lengths `50 Omega km^(-1)` and `25 Omega km^(-1)` and temperature coefficients of resistance, `0.0025 ^@C^(-1)` and `0.00075^@C^(-1)` respectively. If it is desired to make a coil having `700 Omega` resistance and a temperature coefficient of resistance `0.001^@C^(-1)` by using suitable length of two wires in series. Calculate their respective length.

Answer» Let `R_(P) and R_(Q)` be the resistance of the two wires at the given temperature and `l_(P) and l_(Q)` be their respective lengths.
If `Delta T` be the change in temperature, then the total resistance of two wires in series is
`R = R_(P) ( 1 + 0.00025 Delta T) + R_(Q) (1 + 0.00075 Delta T)`
As `0.0001^@C^(-1)` is the temperature coefficient of resistance of the combination of two wires in series, so
`R = (R_(P) + R_(Q)) [1 + 0.001 Delta T]`
From (i) and (ii), we have `= R_(P) ( 1 +0.0025 Delta T) +R_(Q) (1 +0.00075 Delta T) = (R_(P) + R_(Q)) [1 + 0.001 Delta T]`
or `R_(P) (0.0015 Delta T) = R_(Q) (0.00025 Delta T)`
or `R_(Q) = 150/25 R_(P) = 6 R_(P)`
Since `R_(P) + R_(Q) = 700`
`:. R_(P) + 6 R_(P) = 700 or R_(P) = 100 Omega`
and `R_(Q) = 600 Omega`
`:.` length of wire `P, l_(P) = 1/50 xx 100 = 2 km`
length of wire Q, `l_(Q) = 1/25 xx 600 = 24 km`

A steady beam of `alpha`-particles travelling with kinetic energy `E=83.5 keV` carries a current of `I=0.2 mu A`. Mass of `alpha`-particle `=6.68 xx10^(-27)kg`. (i) If this beam strikes a plane surface at an angle `theta=60^@` with normal to the surface, how many `alpha` -particles strike the surface in t=4 second?

Answer» Here, current `I = 0.25 mu A = 0.25 xx 10^(-6)A`
Kinetic energy of `alpha`-particle,
`K = 84 KeV = 84 xx 10^(3) xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19) J`
`= 84 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-16)J`
(a) Charge on `alpha`-particles striking the plane surface per second
`n = I/q = ( 0.25 xx 10^(-6))/( 2 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-19)) = 7.81 xx 10^(11) s^(-1)`
Number of `alpha`-particles striking the surcface in `4 s = nt = (7. 81 xx 10^(11)) xx 4`
`= 31.24 xx 10^(11) = 3.1 xx 10^(12)`
(b) Let v be the velocity of `alpha`-particle when they are travelling towards the surface. Then
`K = 1/2 mv^(2)`
or `v = sqrt((2 K)/(m)) = sqrt((2 xx 84 xx 1.6 xx10^(-16))/(6.68 xx 10^(-27))) = 2 xx 10^(6) ms^(-1)`
It shows that a beam of length `2 xx 10^(6)` m crosses a section in one second. But numbere of `alpha`-particle passing through the section in one second is
`n = 7.81 xx 10^(11) s^(-1)`.
Therefore, no. of `alpha`-particles in unit length of beam ` =n/v`
Hence no. `alpha`-particles in length l of the beam
`= (nl)/(v) = ((7. 81 xx 10^(11)) xx 0.30)/(2 xx 10^(6)) = 1.17 xx 10^(5)`

Speed of belt, `v = 20 ms^(-1)`
Current `I =` change added per second `= 120 mu A = 120 xx 10^(-6)A`
Area of the belt moved per second, `A = wv`
Charge density, `sigma = I/A = I/w v = (120 xx 10^(-6))/(0.60 xx 20)`
`= 10^(-5) Cm^(-2)`
