State and verify Ohm’s law. Find the equation for internal resistance.

Answer»

The potential difference across the ends of a given metallic wire in an electric circuit is directly proportional to the current flowing through it, provided its temperature remains the same. This is called Ohm’s law.

Ohm’s Law Formula:

Voltage = Current × Resistance 

V = I × R 

V = voltage, I = current and  R = resistance 

The SI unit of resistance is ohms and is denoted by Ω 

This law is one of the most basic laws of electricity. It helps to calculate the power, efficiency, current, voltage, and resistance of an element of an electrical circuit.

Internal resistance refers to the opposition to the flow of current offered by the cells and batteries themselves resulting in the generation of heat. Internal resistance is measured in Ohms. The relationship between internal resistance (r) and emf (e) of cell s given by.

e = I (r + R)

Where, e = EMF i.e. electromotive force (Volts), I = current (A), R = Load resistance, and r is the internal resistance of cell measured in ohms.

On rearranging the above equation we get;

e = IR + Ir  or, e = V + Ir

In the above equation, V is the potential difference (terminal) across the cell when the current (I) is flowing through the circuit.

Explain why photoelectric effect cannot be explained on the basis of wave nature of light. Failures of classical wave theory:

Answer»

From Maxwell’s theory, light is an electromagnetic wave consisting of coupled electric and magnetic oscillations that move with the speed of light and exhibit typical wave behaviour. Let us try to explain the experimental observations of photoelectric effect using wave picture of light.

When light is incident on the target, there is a continuous supply of energy to the electrons. According to wave theory, light of greater intensity should impart greater kinetic energy to the liberated electrons (Here, Intensity of light is the energy delivered per unit area per unit time). But this does not happen. The experiments show that maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons does not depend on the intensity of the incident light.

According to wave theory, if a sufficiently intense beam of light is incident on the surface, electrons will be liberated from the surface of the target, however low the frequency of the radiation is. From the experiments, we know that photoelectric emission is not possible below a certain minimum frequency. Therefore, the wave theory fails to explain the existence of threshold frequency.

Since the energy of light is spread across the wavefront, the electrons which receive energy from it are large in number. Each electron needs considerable amount of time (a few hours) to get energy sufficient to overcome the work function and to get liberated from the surface. But experiments show that photoelectric emission is almost instantaneous process (the time lag is less than 10-9 s after the surface is illuminated) which could not be explained by wave theory.

Why does a reverse biased diode have very large value of resistance?

Answer»

Reversed bias as it apply on a PN junction is a condition where there is no current flowing. A condition where the junction barrier is at its widest or being far apart, a non-conducive condition for any electrons migration in a semi-conductor.

When compared to a material’s electrical characteristics, it is equivalent to a very poor electrical conductor, basically acting like as an insulator. A characteristic or behavior demonstrated by a very high opposition to the flow of electrons.

If the frequency of incident radiation on a photocell is doubled for the same intensity, what changes will you observe in :- i. Kinetic energy of photoelectron emitted, ii. Photoelectric current and iii. Stopping potential. Justify your answer in each case.

Answer»

(i). When the frequency of the incident light is doubled, the kinetic energy of emitted photoelectron becomes more than double. 

Let E1 and E2 be the K.E. of photoelectrons for incident light of frequency ν and 2ν respectively. 

Then, 

hν = E1+ ϕ0 and 

2hν = E2+ ϕ0

∴ 2 = \(\frac{E_2+ϕ_0}{E_2 +ϕ_0}\) 

Or, 2E1 + 2ϕ0 = E2 + ϕ0 

Or, E2 + 2E1 + ϕ

Or, E2 > 2E1

(ii). Photoelectric current remains unchanged as it depends upon the intensity of incident light. 

(iii). The stopping potential becomes more than double.

eV0 = (K.E.)max = hν - ϕ0 

or, hν = e0 + ϕ0 and 

eV0′ = 2hν - ϕ0 

= 2(eV0 + ϕ0) − ϕ0 

= 2 eV0 + ϕ0

∴V0′> 20

22.

In optical fibres, which one-core or cladding, should have a higher refractive index? Why?

Answer»

Optical fibres are based on the phenomenon of total internal reflection. 

Core being of higher refractive index, condition that angle of incidence of light is greater than the critical angle is satisfied, as light travels from denser to rarer medium and total internal reflection takes place. 

There is almost no loss of light through the sides of the fibre or due to absorption by the core.

Homeostasis characteristics include which of the following except a) Acidity Levelb) Moisture Levelc) Temperatured) Response to Stimuli

Answer»

Answer: (d)

Homeostatic control includes many variables, such as body temperature and fluid or moisture level, being kept within certain pre-set limits (homeostatic range). Other variables include the pH or acidity level of extracellular fluid, the concentrations of sodium, potassium and calcium ions, as well as that of the blood sugar level, and these need to be regulated despite changes in the environment, diet, or level of activity. Each of these variables is controlled by one or more regulators or homeostatic mechanisms, which together maintain life.
The ability of an organism or organ to respond to external stimuli is called sensitivity. It is not under homeostatic control.
