Derivation of relation E=-dV/dr

Answer»

As you know, standard formula of electric field intensity and potential are given by
E = KQ/r² , V = KQ/r , here Q is the charge , r is the distance between charge and observation point .
V = KQ/r
differentiate with respect to r
dV/dr = -KQ/r² = -E
dV = -E.dr or, E = -dV/dr
Hence, relation between Electric field intensity and potential is E = -∆V/∆r
Here negative sign shows that on uniform electric field intensity if distance increases then potential difference decreases.

Explain the role of farmers revolts in the freedom movement of India.

Answer»

The protests organized by the farmers and the workers are equally important in the history of National Freedom Struggle. Some of these associations were influenced by the Congress, and some were influenced by the Marxist ideologies. During the British administration many farmers rebelled against the British planters and Zamindars.

They opposed the Indigo cropping in Champaranya district. They protested against land tax. Gandhi convinced the British officers through his Sathyagraha to withdraw tax.

The Indian National Congress tried to organize the farmers as a part of National Freedom Struggle. Gandhiji’s influence was visible in activities in Champaranya, Khedha and other places where the farmers organized themselves and protested. Farmers of Tebhaga, Malabar and other places revolted against the British and Zamindars under the influence of the Congress.

The issues the farmers found themselves intermingled with the problems focused on Non movements like Non-Cooperation movement. Tax refusal and Quit India movements. Many of the protests were organized under the banner of Kisan Sabha which was influenced by leftist ideologies.

These protests were often in favour of the congress and many times stood opposed to congress. In Telangana, farmers protested against the Zamindars and Nizam’s Razacks. The farmers of Bengal rose against the Zamindars. In Maharastra, farmers protested against low wages for them.

describes the two statements. Statement-1 : An inventor claims to have constructed an engine that has an efficiency of 30 % when operated between the boiling and freezing points of water. This is not possible. Statement-2 : The efficiency of a real engine is always less than the efficiency of a carnot engine operating between the same two temperatures.[AIEEE On line-2012]

Answer»

Answer: Statement 1 is true, Statement 2 is true, Statement 2 is the correct explanation of Statement 1
