Explain what is short circuiting and overloading in an electric supply.

Answer»

Solution :Short circuiting: Whenever live and neutral wires come in contact with each other, the INCIDENT is called short circuiting. In this case, resistance of a circuit decreases to a very small value. The decreasing of resistance increases the current. Due to this increased current, the wires get heated. This extreme heat may cause fire in the building.
Overloading: Every supply has a capacity to beara maximum load, i.e., the power that can besupplied has a limit. Sometimes, the number of appliances which are switched on at the same time have power more than the capacity of the LINE. This is called overloading. In this situation, wires of the supply get heated due to extremely LARGE current flowing through them and the circuit may CATCH fire. To avoid this fire, we use an electric fuse in the circuit.

What is meant by trophic level in a food chain ? Construct a terrestrial food chain with four trophic levels. The energy flow in a food chain is always unidirectional. Why

Answer»

Solution :Each step of level of the food CHAIN forms a trophic level. Organisms at the first trophic level are called AUTOTROPHS. In fact, these are the producers. They fix up the solar energy and make it available for consumers.
Grass `rarr` Grasshopper `rarr` Frog `rarr`SNAKE
The energy CAPTURED by autotrophs does not revert back to solar system. It passes to the herbivores and from there to the carnivores. The energy lost goes to the ATMOSPHERE. Thus, energy flow from the sun through the producer to the consumer is in one dimension only. This flow cannot be reversed.

A child stands at the centre of turntable with his two arms out stretched. The turntable is set rotating with an angular speed of 40 rpm. How much is the angular speed of the child if he folds his back and thereby reduces his moment of inertia to (2)/(3) times the initial value ? Assume that the turntable rotates without friction

Answer»

Solution :Here `omega_(1) = 40 rpm, I_(2) = 2/5 I_(1)`
By the principle of conservation of angular momentum,
`I_(1)omega_(1) = I_(2)omega_(2)` or `I_(1) xx 40 = 2/5 I_(1)omega_(2)` or `omega_(2) = 100` rpm.
(ii) Initial KINETIC energy of rotation.
`2/5 I_(1)omega_(1)^(2) = 2/5 I_(1) (40)^(2) = 800 I_(1)`
Net kinetic energy of rotation
`2/5 I_(2)omega_(2)^(2) = 1/2 xx 2/3 I_(1) (100)^(2) = 2000 I_(1)`
`("NEW K.E.")/("Initial K.E.") = (2000 I_(1))/(800 I_(1)) = 2.5`
Thus the child's new kinetic energy of rotation is 2.5 times its initial kinetic energy of rotation. This increase in kinetic energy is DUE to the INTERNAL energy of the child which he USES in folding his hands back frrom the out stretched position.

(a) Draw magnetic field lines of a bar magnet. "Two magneticfield lines never intersect each other." Why ? (b) An electric oven of 1.5 kW is operated in a dometic circuit (220V) that has a current rating of 5A. What result do you expect in this case ? Explain . or Which is meant by resistance of a conductor ? Name and define its SI units. List the factors on which the resistance of a conductor depends. How is the resistanceof a wire affected if - (i) its length is doubled , (ii) its radius is doubled ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) Two magnetic field lines do not INTERSECT one another. The direction of magnetic field lines is always from north pole to south pole. If the two magnetic field lines do intersect, it means at the point of intersection the compass needle is showing two different directions which is not possible.
(b) Power, `P = 1.5 kW = 1.5 xx 1,000 = 1,500 W`
Voltage, `V = 220 V``I = ?`
`P = V xxI``implies I = (P)/(V) = (1,500)/(220) = 6.8 A`
Now the current drawn by the oven is 6.8 A which is very high but thefuse in this ciruit is only 5A capacity. When a very high current of 6.8A flows through 5A fuse, the fuse wire will get heated too much, melt and break the circui , cutting off the power supply.

The property of a conductor due to which tends to stop the FLOW of current through the conductor is called resistance, SI unit is ohm. When a potential differnece of IV ACROSS a wire gives rise to IA current through the wire, then the resistance is said to be 1 ohm ( 1 `Omega` ) .
The resistance of conductor depends on length, thickness, nature of material and temperature of conductor.
(i) If length is doubled, then R is doubled because the resistance of a conductor is directly PROPORTIONAL to length.
(ii) Resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to the square of its diameter or AREA of cross-section.
This show `R prop (1)/(A) ,A = pi r^(2)`
If `r' =2r`, then , `A' = pi r^(2) = pi (2r)^(2)= 4pi r^(2) = 4A`
R `= ` Resistance , L `=` Length A = Area, `rho=` resistivity.
`R = rho(L)/(A)`
If `A'=4A`, then
`R'=rho(L)/(A)=rho(L)/(4A)=(1)/(4)R`
Therefore, if radius is doubled, the resistance becomes `(1)/(4)`

Spheres A and B of uniform density have masses 1 kg and 100 kg respectively. Their centres are separated by 100m.(ii) Find the gravitational force on An due to the earth. [M_("(earth)")=6xx10^(24)kg, R_("(earth)")=6400km]

Answer»

Solution :Data : `m_(1)=1kg, m_(2)kg, r = 100m`,
`M=6xx10^(24)kg, R = 6400km=6400xx10^(3)m,`
`t=1s, s=1cm=1xx10^(-2)m,`
`G=6.67xx10^(-11)N.m^(2)//kg^(2)`
`F_(1)=?, F_(2)=?, v_(1)=? , t_(1)=?, v_(2)=? , t_(2)=?`

(III) Ignoring VARIATION of acceleration with distance,
`v_(1)=u_(1)+at=0+(F_(1))/(m_(1))t=(6.67xx10^(-13)N)/(1kg)xx1s`
`=6.67xx10^(-13)m//s`
This velocity is directed from A to B. As the separation between A and B decreases, the acceleration of A and hence the velocity of A will increase.
Ignoring variation of acceleration with distance,
`s_(1)=ut+(1)/(2)at^(2)=0+(1)/(2)(F_(1))/(m_(1))t_(1)^(2)`
`therefore t_(1)^(2)=(2m_(1)s_(1))/(F_(1))`
`therefore t_(1)^(2)=(2xx1kgxx10^(-2)m)/(6.67xx10^(-18)N)=3xx10^(10)s^(2)`
`therefore t_(1)=1.732xx10^(5)s`

The escape vleocity v of a body depends upo (i) the acceleration due to gravity of the planet and (ii) the radius of the planet R. Establish dimesionally the releaitonship betweeeen v, g and R.

Answer»

Solution :`valphag^(a)R^(B)impliesv=kg^(a)R^(b),Krarr`DIMENSIONLESS proportionality constant
`[v]=[g]^(a)[R]^(b)`
`[M^(0)L^(1)T^(-1)]=[M^(0)L^(1)T^(-2)]^(a)[M^(0)L^(1)T^(0)]^(b)`
EQUATING powers
`1 = a + b`
`-1=-2aimpliesa=(1)/(2)`
`b=1-a=1-(1)/(2)=(1)/(2)`
`therefore v=ksqrt(gR)`
