9.

The no. of irrational terms in the expansion of (51/8 + 21/6)100

Answer»

The number of irrational terms in the expansion is 97.

Explanation:

From binomial theory we know that the (r+1)th term of the expansion

(a+b)n is (nCr)*(an-r)*(br)

In this case a = 51/8 ; b = 21/6 ; n=100 ;

=> Total number of terms = n+1 = 101

For a term to be rational the powers of ‘a’ and ‘b’ should be integral multiples of 8 and 6 respectively so as to cancel out the fractional exponents.

n-r = 8k and r = 6m where k and m are some non negative integers
n-r should take values 0,8,16,24,32,40,48,56,64,72,80,88,96 (8k)
r should take values among 0,6,12,18,24,30,36,42,48,54,60,66,72,78,84,90,96 (6m)

As n= 100 for n-r = 8k, r should take 100,92,84,76,68,60, 52,44, 36,28,20,12,4

The common values of r which satisfy r = 6m and n-r = 8k simultaneously are r = 12, 36, 60, 84.

There will be 4 rational terms thus it is obvious that remaining 97 terms will be irrational

What do you mean by implants?

Answer»

Limitations of Coulomb’s Law

  • The law is applicable only for the point charges at rest.
  • Coulomb’s Law can be only applied in those cases where the inverse square law is obeyed.
  • It is difficult to implement Coulomb’s law where charges are in arbitrary shape because in such cases we cannot determine the distance’ between the charges.
  • The law can’t be used directly to calculate the charge on the big planets.

From a metallic charged body a current is drawn. The rate of increase of current at an instant is equal to the charge on the body at that instant. If the initial charge on the body is QA. the minimum time it will take for the charge to become zero is `(pi)/(2)sec`B. the minimum time it will take for the charge to become zero is 2 secC. The value of the current when the charge on the body is `Q//2` is `Q sqrt((3)/(2))`D. The value of the current when the charge on the body is `Q//2` is `(Q)/(sqrt(3))`

Answer» Correct Answer - A
Since current is going out of the body,
`I = - (dq)/(dt)`
Given `(di)/(dt)=q`
`q = (-d^(2)q)/(dt^(2)) rArr q + (d^(2)q)/(dt^(2)) =0`
Thus is differential equation of SHM with `omega =1`
`T = (2pi)/(omega )=2 pi sec`
The min. time for the charge to become zero
`= T//4 = (pi)/(2) sec`
Let `q = Q cos omega t`
When `q = (Q)/(2)` ,
`cos omega t=(1)/(2), sin omegat =sqrt(1-(1)/(4))=(sqrt(3))/(2)`
`i = Q omega (sqrt(3))/(2) = (Q sqrt(3))/(2)`.
17.

An `AC` voltage source `V=V_0siomegat`is connected across resistance `R` and capacitance `C` as shown in figureure. It is given that `R=1/omegaC`. The peak current is `I_0`. If the angular frequency of the voltage source is changed to `omega/sqrt3,` then the new peak current in the circuit is .A. `(I_(0))/(2)`B. `(I_(0))/(sqrt(2))`C. `(I_(0))/(sqrt(3))`D. `(I_(0))/(3)`

Answer» Correct Answer - B
The peak value of the current is
`I_(0)=(V_(0))/(sqrt(R^(2)+(1)/(omega^(2)C^(2))))=(V_(0))/(sqrt(2)R)`
when the angular frequency is changed to `(omega)/(sqrt(3))`
The new peak value is
`I_(0)=(V_(0))/(sqrt(R^(2)+(3)/(omega^(2)C^(2))))=(V_(0))/(sqrt(4R^(2)))=(V_(0))/(2R)`
`:. I_(0)=(I_(0))/(sqrt(2))`.

In an alternating circuit, the impressed voltage is given by V = (100 − j50) volts and the current in the circuit is I = (3 – j4) A. Determine the real and reactive power in the circuit.

Answer»

Power will be found by the conjugate method. Using current conjugate, we have

PVA = (100 − j50) (3 + j4) = 300 + j400 − j150 + 200 = 500 + j 250

Hence, real power is 500 W and reactive power of VAR is 250. Since the second term in the above expression is positive, the reactive volt-amperes of 250 are inductive.

A 15-ohm resistance has a voltage v = 105 sin 377t (V). What is the expression for instantaneous power?1. 1.5 sin2 377t(W)2. 15 sin2 377t(W)3. 835 sin2 377t(W)4. 735 sin2 377t(W)

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 4 : 735 sin2 377t(W)

Concept:

The power dissipated through resistor, in a circuit consist of voltage source and a resistor.

P = V2 / R = I2R

Where P = Power

V = Source voltage

I = Current through resistance

R = Resistor

Calculation:

Given, V = 105 sin 377t V

R = 10 Ω 

P = V2 / R = (105 sin 377t)2 / 15 = 735 sin2 377t W

The instantaneous power in ac circuits can be obtained by taking the product of the instantaneous values of current and voltage.

The current waveform in this case can be represented as

i(t) = I sin (ωt - ϕ)

Now, the expression of the instantaneous power,

p (t) = u(t).i(t)

⇒ p (t) = V sin ωt I sin (ωt - ϕ)

⇒ p (t) = VI sin ωt sin (ωt - ϕ)

⇒ p (t) = VI sin ωt (sin ωt cos ϕ – cos ωt sin ϕ)

⇒ p (t) = VI (sin2ωt cos ϕ – sin ωt cos ωt sin ϕ)

\(\Rightarrow p\left( t \right) = \frac{V}{{\sqrt 2 }}.\frac{I}{{\sqrt 2 }}\left( {2{{\sin }^2}\omega t\cos \phi - 2\sin \omega t\cos \omega t\sin \phi } \right)\)

\(\Rightarrow p\left( t \right) = {V_{rms}}{I_{rms}}\cos \phi \left( {1 - \cos 2\omega t} \right) - {V_{rms}}{I_{rms}}\sin \phi \sin 2\omega t]\)

[Where Vrms and Irms is the root mean square value of voltage and current waveform]

= P (1 – cos 2ωt) – Q sin 2ωt

Answer»

(1) Zero 

A perfect diamagnetic substance will completely expel the magnetic field. Therefore, there will be no magnetic field inside the cavity of sphere. Hence the paramagnetic substance kept inside the cavity will experience no force.

A cart consists of a body and four wheels on frictionless axles. The body has a mass \( m \). The wheels are uniform disks of mass \( M \) and radius \( R \). The cart rolls, without slipping, back and forth on a horizontal plane under the influence of a spring attached to one end of the car (figure). The spring constant is \( k \). Taking into account the moment of inertia of the wheels, find a formula for the frequency of the back and forth motion of the cart.

Answer»

Compression in spring is x,

Total energy E = constant

\(\frac{1}{2}kx^2\) + \(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\) + 4(\(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\) + \(\frac{1}{2}Iw^2\)) =  constant

Rolling on ground v = Rω

ω = \(\frac{V}{R}\) 

∵ I = \(\frac{MR^2}{2}\) 

\(\frac{1}{2}kx^2\) + \(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\) + 4(\(\frac{1}{2}mv^2\) + \(\frac{1}{4}MR^2\) x \(\frac{V^2}{R^2}\)) = constant

kx2 + mv2 + 4(Mv2 + \(\frac{1}{2}\)Mv2) = constant

kx2 + mv2 + 4(\(\frac{3}{2}\)Mv2) = constant

kx2 + mv2 + 6Mv2

kx2 = - (m + 6M)v2 .........(1)

Different equation (1)

k 2x(\(\frac{dx}{dt}\)) = - (m + 6M) 2v\(\frac{dv}{dt}\)

kx = -(m + 6M)a

x = \(\frac{-(m+6M)a}{k}\)

a = \(\frac{-k}{(m+6M)}x\) .........(2)

a = - ω2x ..........(3)

Compression this equation (2) and (3)

Then,

ω\(\frac{k}{m+6M}\) 

⇒ ω = \(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m+6M}}\) 

Frequency formula,

f = \(\frac{\omega}{2\pi}\)

∴ f = \(\frac{1}{2\pi}\)\(\sqrt{\frac{k}{m+6M}}\)

Answer the following questions:​(a) Long distance radio broadcasts use short-wave bands. Why?(b) It is necessary to use satellites for long distance TV transmission. Why?(c) Optical and radio telescopes are built on the ground but X-ray astronomy is possible only from satellites orbiting the earth. Why?(d) The small ozone layer on top of the stratosphere is crucial for human survival. Why? (e) If the earth did not have an atmosphere, would its average surface temperature be higher or lower than what it is now?(f) Some scientists have predicted that a global nuclear war on the earth would be followed by a severe ‘nuclear winter’ with a devastating effect on life on earth. What might be the basis of this prediction?

Answer»

(a) Long distance radio broadcasts use shortwave bands because only these bands can be refracted by the ionosphere.
(b) It is necessary to use satellites for long distance TV transmissions because television signals are of high frequencies and high energies. Thus, these signals are not reflected by the ionosphere. Hence, satellites are helpful in reflecting TV signals. Also, they help in long distance TV transmissions.
(c) With reference to X-ray astronomy, X-rays are absorbed by the atmosphere. However, visible and radio waves can penetrate it. Hence, optical and radio telescopes are built on the ground, while X-ray astronomy is possible only with the help of satellites orbiting the Earth.
(d) The small ozone layer on the top of the atmosphere is crucial for human survival because it absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiations present in sunlight and prevents it from reaching the Earth’s surface.
(e) In the absence of an atmosphere, there would be no greenhouse effect on the surface of the Earth. As a result, the temperature of the Earth would decrease rapidly, making it chilly and difficult for human survival.
(f) A global nuclear war on the surface of the Earth would have disastrous consequences. Post-nuclear war, the Earth will experience severe winter as the war will produce clouds of smoke that would cover maximum parts of the sky, thereby preventing solar light form reaching the atmosphere. Also, it will lead to the depletion of the ozone layer.
