n electrons, each carrying a charge -e, are flowing acrossa unit cross section of a metallic wire in unit time from east to west. Write an expression for electric current and also give its direction of flow. Give reason for your answer. (b) The charge possessed by an electron is 1.6 times 10^-19 coulomb. Find the number of electrons that will flow per second to constitute a current of a 1 ampere.

Answer»

Solution :ELECTRIC current in a circuit defined as the TIME rate of flow of electric charge through any cross section and its direction is opposite to that of flow of electrons. HENCE in present case electric current `I=q/t=(n E)/1=n e`
As electrons are flowing from east to WEST, the direction of electric current is from west to east.
(b) Here current I=1A, time t=1s and charge on each electron `e=1.6 times 10^18`
Hence, number of electrons flowing `n=(It)/e=(1 times 1)/(1.6 times 10^-19)=6.25 times 10^18`

Whatis an electromagnet? Statethe principle on whichit works. Draw a circuitdiagram to show how a soft iron piece can be transformed into an electromagnet. Writeuses of electromagnet.

Answer»

Solution :Electromagnet : An electrongnetis a magnet consisting of a longcoil of insulatedcopper wire wound arounda soft iron core in the from of a rod. It is magnetised onlywhen an ELECTRICCURRENTIS passed through the coil .
OR
An electrongnet is temporary strong magnet and is justa solenoidwith its windingon a soft iron core .
Theworking of an electrognet is BASED onthemagnetic effect ofelectric current .

A strong magnetic fieldproduced insidea current - carrying solenoid can be used to magnetise a piece of magnetic material like soft iron , byplacingit insidethe coil / solenoid(figure 13.17) . The magnet soformed is called an electromagnet.
ANELECTROMAGNET acquires themagneticproperties onlywhenan electric currentis passed through the solenoid .
Once the currentis switchedoff ,it almost loses its magneticproperty as the retentivity( theabilityto retain magnetism) of soft iron is verylow .
The strength of the electromagnet depends on :
(i) The numberof turns per unit length n of thesolenoid .
(ii) ThecurrentI through the solenoid .
Uses of electromagnets :
(1) Electromagnets are usedin electrical devices such as an electric bell , an electric fan ,TELEGRAPH , an electric train ,an electric motor, genertor etc.
(2) They are used for lifting and transporting large masses of iron in the from of girders .
(3) They are used in medical paractice forremovingpieces of iron from wounds .

How can you say that the sound is a form of energy?

Answer»

Solution :1) Take a tin can and remove both ends to make a hollow cylinder.
2) Take a balloon and stretch it over the can.
3) Wrap a rubber band around the balloon.
4) Take a small MIRROR and stick it on the balloon.
5) Take a laser light and let it fall on the mirror.
6) After reflection the light spot is seen on the wall.
7) Now shout directly into the open end of the can and observe the dancing light.
Observations :
1) When sound is made, the ENERGY produced from the sound vibrates the membrane of the balloon, resulting in the dancing of light ray.
2) This shows that sound is a form of energy which travels in air.

An object of height 3 cm is placed at 10 cm from a concave lens of focal length 15 cm. find the size of the image.

Answer»

Solution :(i)
`1/f=1/v-1/u`
`f=-15` cm [LEFT side oflens]
`u=-10` cm [left side of lens]
`1/v=1/f+1/u`
`""=1/(-15)+1/(-10)`
`""=((1/-15) times 30+(1/-10) times 30)/30`
`""=(-2-3)/30=(-5)/30=(-1)/6`
`v=-6cm`
`m=v/u=h_(2)/h_(1)`
`""=(-6)/(-10)=h_(2)/(3)`
`""=(-18)/(-10)=h_(2)`
Size of the image `h_(2)=1.8cm`
(ii) Given, time, t = 9.8 s
Speed of sound, v = 330 `ms^(-1)`
Height of CLOUD, `d=?`
`v=d//t, ""d=vt`
`""=330 times 9.8`

List out the parasitic adaptations in leech.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Parastic adaptation of leech :
(a) Anterior and Posterior ends of the body are provided with suckers by which the animal attaches itself to the body of the host.
(c ) The salivary glands produce Hirudin, which does not allow the blood to coagulate. So, the continuous supply of blood is maintained.
(ii) Darwin published his observations under the name "origin of species". It elaborates on the theory of natural selection for evolutionary transformation. The principles of Darwinism tells that natural selection is a driving force for evolution.
1. Overproduction : Living beings have the ability ot reproduce and have the capacity to multiply in a geometrical manner.
2. Struggle for existence : Due to overproduction a geometric ratio of increase in population occurs.The space to live and food avialable for the organisms remain the same. This creates a competition among the organisms, for food and space, leading to struggle.
(a) The competition may be among the individuals of the same species (Intraspecific struggle).
(b) Competition between the organisms of different species living together (Interspecific struggle).
(c ) Natural conditions like extreme heat or cold drought and floods can affect the existence of organisms (Environmental struggle).
3. Variations :
Small variations are important for evolution. ACCORDING to Darwin, FAVOURABLE variations are useful to the organisms and unfavourable variations are harmful or useless to the organisms.
4. Survival of the FITTEST or Natural selection :
During the struggle for existence, the organisms which can overcome the challenging situation, survive and adapt to hte surrounding enviornment. Organisms, which are unable to face the challenges, are unfit to survive and disappear. The PROCESS of selection of organisms with favourable VARIATION is called as Natural selection.
5. Origin of species :
According to Darwin, new species originates by the gradual accumulation of favourable variations for a number of generations.
