A charged particle P enters the region between two parallel plates with a velocity u in a direction parallel to the plates. There is a uniform electric field in this region. P emerges from this region with a velocity v. Taking α as a constant, v will depend on u as(a) v = αu(b) v = √(u2 + αu)(c) v = √(u2 + α/u)(d) v = √(u2 + α/u2) |
|
Answer» Correct Answer is: (d) v = √(u2 + α/u2) Let l be the length of each plate and ux = u = constant. ∴ the time of travel between the plates is given by t = l/u. Let a be the constant acceleration in the y-direction. ∴ vy = at when the particle emerges from the plates. ∴ v2 = ux2 + vy2 = u2 + a2t2 = u2 + a2 l2/u2 = u2 + α/u2. |

Write a paragraph on any one of the following : (a) Health is Wealth (b) A Book Fair (c) Adult Education (d) My neighbour |
|
Answer» (i) Health is Wealth Health has a great importance in human life. If you are healthy you can do everything in life. But if you are not feeling well, you will never do your work neatly. Man can achieve his goal easily if he or she is healthy. Unhealthy person falls flat everywhere. Only a healthy man has a sound mind. A sound mind keeps a person on the path of progress. Thus, it is proved that health is the real wealth for human being. (ii) A Book Fair Recently a book fair was organised in Gandhi Maidan, Patna. My class teacher organised a trip to the book fair. All the students were permitted to visit the fair. All of us reached to the book fair at 11:00 a.m. After buying ticket, we entered the fair. There were a number of stalls. It was amazing to see a lots of book of various subjects. We saw subject books, cookery book, comic books, Autobiography, Biography, Novels, Magazines, books of Astrology and many more. Different books are written by different writers. I bought few story books. There was a stage where folk dance was being performed. There were also some stalls selling food items. Finally we returned from the book fair. (iii) Adult Education Adult education is quite necessary for those who are deprived of getting their early education. Adult person should be literate. Our government has established many adult education centre where uneducated people learn how to write and read books of their own language. They are taught at such centre at night. The government wants to educate all to know their rights. If everyone gets education, our country will be developed. So adult education is the backbone of our education system which makes our country prosperous. (iv) My Neighbour Mr. Pawan Singh is my neighbour. He is an Armyman. He is very brave person. He is a man of strong will power. He does not fear from any circumstances. He also does social work. He is always ready to serve the needy people. He gives good advises to all to travel on right path. He is a religious man. He suggests people to do right things. He helps poor people by arranging school fee for their children. He is really a good person. |

Write a paragraph in about 75 words on Health is wealth. |
|
Answer» Health is Wealth- Health is wealth is an old saying. A healthy person is able to produce all wealth for himself and for others. Not only this but he can also enjoy wealth and produce more. Suppose a man has a first class master's degree, but he has no health. He catches cold. He catches flu. He has T.B. and other such diseases. How can he produce wealth and enjoy it? Health depends on correct living, pure water and fresh air. It also depends on good food, necessary rest and equally necessary physical work or exercise. It a man cares for all these and has limited desires, he can maintain good health. Then he can produce more wealth and he can enjoy it. |

Distinguish between isochoric and isobaric processes.If a gas is compressed adiabatically by doing work of 150 J, the change in the internal energy of the gas is: |
|
Answer» Isochoric process 1) Isochoric process is a chemical process that takes place in a thermodynamic system under a constant volume. 2) There is no change in volume ΔV=0 3) The process changes according in an isochoric process. Isobaric process 1) An isobaric process is a chemical process that takes place in a thermodynamic system under constant pressure. 2) The change in pressure or ΔP=0 3) The pressure of the thermodynamic system remains unchanged during an isobaric process. First low of Thermodynamics - dQ = dU + dW dW = 150 dQ = 0 (adiabatic) dU = dQ − dW = −150 change in internal energy = ∣dU∣ = 150J |
