Explain how does a Solenoid behave like a magnet. When is the force experienced by a currentcarrying conductor placed in a magnetic field largest?

Answer»

The pattern of the magnetic field lines around a current carrying solenoid and a bar magnet are similar. One end of solenoid behaves as a magnetic north pole, while the other behave as the south pole that’s why solenoid behaves like a magnet.

The force experienced by a current carrying conductor placed in a magnetic field is largest when the direction of current is at right angles to the direction of magnetic field.

Calculate the entropy change involved in the conversion of one mole of liquid water at 373 K to vapour at the same temperature (latent heat of vaporization of water Δvap H = 2.257 kJ/g).

Answer»

For the conversion of water→ vapour, the entropy 

change is given by Δvap S = ΔvapH/Tb

Here, Δvap H = 2.257 kJ/g = 2.257 × 18 kJ/mol 

= 40.626 kJ/mol, Tb = 373 K 

∴ Δvap S = 40.625KJ mol-1/373 = 0.1089 KJ K-1

mol–1 = 108.9 J K–1 mol–1 .

Define the power of lens. What is the meaning of “the power of lens is 1 dioptre” if the power of a lens -2.0D, then what type of lens is that? when an object is kept at infinity from this type of lens, what is the size of the image formed.

Answer»

The ability of a lens to converge or diverge the ray of light after refraction is called power (p) of the lens. It is defined as the reciprocal of the focal length.
i.e, P = \(\frac{1}{f}\)

SI unit of power of a lens is diopter. A lens of focal length 100 cm has a power of 1 dioptre i,e., 1 dioptre = 1 m

If the power of a lens is 2 D then the type of lens is concave lens.
The size of the image in this lens is highly diminished point sized.
