How will you conclude that the same potential difference [voltage] exists across three resistors connected in a parallel arrangement to a battery? |
Answer» Solution :The experimental setup comprises THREE resistors `R_(1),R_(2)andR_(3)` which are joined in parallel combination and connected with a battery, an ammeter [A], a voltmeter [V] and a PLUG key K, as shown in Fig. [a]. The key K is closed, and the voltmeter and ammeter readings are recorded. The key K is open and removing the ammeter and voltmeter form the circuit and INSERT the voltmeter V in parallel with `R_(1)`, and ammeter in series with the resistor `R_(1)`, as shown in Fig. [b]. Again, the voltmeter and ammeter readings are recorded. Similarly, measuring the potential differences across resistances, `R_(2)andR_(3)`, it is found that voltmeter gives identical reading which leads to conclude that the VOLTAGE or potential difference across each resistor is same and equal to the potential difference across the combination. |

(a) Explain solar cell panel. (b) Give the principle of working of a windmill. |
Answer» Solution : (a) A solar cell is a device whichconverts solar ENERGY directlyinto electricity. A group of solar cells is called a solar cell panel. It consists of a large number of solar cells. Joined togetherin a definite pattern. It providesa lot of electric energyrequired by artificial satellites, water pumps, street lighting, etc. For joining the various solar cells in a solar panel, silver wires are used because silver (metal) is the best conductorof electricity having a very LOW resistance, which also INCREASES the efficiency. (b) When the blowing wind strikes the blades of a windmill, it exerts a force on them. As a result of this force, the blades of the windmill start rotating. The rotation of the blades of the windmill causes to and fro (or up to down) motion in the crank (or connecting rod). This rotary motion is used to turn the turbines of electric generatorsto produce electricity and also to DRIVE a large number of machines like water pumps and FLOUR mills. A large number of windmills erected over a large area are known as a wind energy farm. |

A squirrel is in a scary situation. Its body has to prepare for either fighting or running away, State the immediate changes that take place in its body so that the squirrel is able to either fight or run ? |
| Answer» Solution : When the squirrel is in a scary situation, its body relies on neural as well as chemical signals. These chemicals are hormones, in this case – Adrenaline. Adrenaline is secreted DIRECTLY into the blood and carried to different parts of the body. The target organs or the specific tissues on which it acts INCLUDE the heart. As a result, the heart beats faster, resulting in supply of more OXYGEN to our muscles. The blood to the digestive system and SKIN is reduced due to contraction of muscles around small arteries in these organs. This diverts the blood to our skeletal muscles. The breathing rate also increases because of the contractions of the diaphragm and the rib muscles. All these responses TOGETHER enable the animal body to be ready to deal with the situation. | |

5 cm high object is placed at a distance of 25 cm from a converging lens of focal length of 10 cm. Determine the position, size and type of the image. |
|
Answer» object distance (u) = - 25 cm, height of the object `(h_(1)) = 5 cm` To find: Image distance (v), height of the image `(h_(2))` Formulae: i. `(1)/(f)=(1)/(v)-(1)/(u)` ii. `(h_(2))/(h_(1))=(v)/(u)` CALCULATION: From formula (i), `(1)/(10)=(1)/(v)-(1)/(-25)` `therefore" "(1)/(v)=(1)/(10)-(1)/(25)=(5-2)/(50)` `therefore" "(1)/(v)=(3)/(50)` `therefore" "v=16.7 cm` As the image distance is positive, the image formed is REAL. From formula (ii), `(h_(2))/(5)=(16.7)/(-25)` `therefore" "h_(2)=(16.7)/(25)xx5=-(16.7)/(5)` `therefore" "h_(2)=-3.3 cm` The NEGATIVE SIGN indicates that the image formed is inverted. |

There was some construction work going on in the neighbourhood of Amar Singh. One day when Amar Singh came back form his office, he saw his ten year old son standing near the welder and looking at the electric welding being done with great curiosity. Amar Singh grabbed his son by the arm and brought him inside the house quickly. He firmly told his son not to look at electric welding being done again because it is extremely harmful. Amar Singh then went out and scolded the welder for allowing a child to stand near him and watch the electric welding being done. The welder said 'sorry' to Amar Singh for the lapse on his part. (a) Why did Amar sing bring his son inside the house quickly ? (b) What harm could have been done to the child by staring at the electric welding and Why ? (c) Name a natural luminous object which can do the same damage when looked at straight with naked eye for a considerable time. (d) What other harm could have been done to the child by standing near the welder when electric welding was being done ? (e) What value are exhibited by Amar Singh in this episode ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(a) Amar Singh brought his SON inside the house quickly to PROTECT his son from damage to his eyes and possible burns. (b) Electric welding produces enormously bright light. This extremely bright light COULD have damaged the retina of the eye. (c) The sun is also an extremely bright object in the sky which can damage the retina of eyes if looked at straight with naked eyes for a CONSIDERABLE time. (d) The electric welding produces sparks which fly off an all directions. The extremely hot sparks of electric welding could cause burns on the body of the child standing nearby. (e) Amar Singh exhibited the values of (i) Awareness (that electricwelding can damage the eyes and also cause burns) (II) Concern for his son (to protect his eyes and prevent burns), and (iii) Teach lesson to wrong doer (by scolding the welder). |

How would the strength of magnetic field due to a current-carrying loop be affected, if: (a) the radius of the loop is reduced to half of its original value, and (b) the strength of the current through the loop is doubled ? Give reason for your answer. |
|
Answer» Solution :(a) If the RADIUS of current loop is reduced to half of its ORIGINAL value, the strength of magnetic field is doubled as magnetic field. (B) is INVERSELY PROPORTIONAL to the radius (r) of loop. (b) As strength of magnetic field is proportional to current (1) flowing through the loop `(B PROP l)`, the magnetic field is doubled if current is doubled. |
