Two circular coils A and B are placed close to each other. If the current in the coil A is changed, will some current be induced in the coil B? Give reason.

Answer»

Solution :Yes, by changing CURRENT in coil A, some current will be induced in coil B. The reason is that when current in coil A is changed, the MAGNETIC field AROUND A changes, so magnetic flux LINKED with nearby coil B changes, this GIVES rise to induced current in coil B.

When a (60W,220V) bulb and a (100 W, 220 V) bulb are connected in series, then which bulb will glow brighter?

Answer»

SOLUTION :The RESISTANCE of the bulb is given by `R=(V^(2))/(P)`. So, the resistance of 60 W bulb is more than the resistance of 100 W bulb. When they are connected in series, the current through both bulbs is same. Hence 60 W bulb will be more BRIGHTER because `P=I^(2)R`.

Two lamps, one rated 100 W at 220 V, and the other 60 W at 220 V, are connected in parallel to electric mains supply. What current is drawn from the line if the supply voltage is 220 V?

Answer»

Solution :RESISTANCE of the first lamp = R
Resistance of second lamp = `R_(2)`
`R=V^(2)/P`
`R_(1)=(220xx220)/100=484Omega`
`R_(2)=(220xx220)/60=2420/3Omega`
They are CONNECTED in parallel
`1/R=1/R_(1)=1/R_(2)=1/484+3/2420`
`R=(484xx2420)/(3(484+2420/3))=605/3Omega`
Therefore `I=V/R=(220xx2)/605=8/11A`
I = 0.727 A.

What is atmospheric refraction ? Briefly explain. Why does apparent position of a star appear different from its true position ?

Answer»

Solution :Atmospheric air layer just near the earth surface is comparatively denser and upper LAYERS of atmosphere are successively rarer and more rarer. Hence, a LIGHT ray passing through atmospheric air UNDERGOES refraction. Since the physical conditions of air are not stationary, the apparent position of the DISTANT object, as seen through the air, fluctuates. It is known as an effect of atmospheric refraction. Light coming from a distant star on entering into the earth.s atmosphere gradually bends towards the normal on account of atmospheric refraction. Hence, the star appears slightly higher actual position when VIEWED near the horizon.

The equivalent resistance of a series combination of two resistors is '9 Omega' and the equivalent resistance of a parallel combination of the same two resistors is 2 Omega. Find the resistances of the resistors.

Answer»

Solution : Suppose two unknown resistances are x and y.
When the resistors are connected in parallel `(xy)/(x +y) = 2Omega` andwhen they are connected in series `x +y = 9 Omega`
So, `(xy)/9 = 2 :.Xy = 18 Omega`
Now,
From`x +y = 9 , y = 9-x`
`:. x (9-x) =18`
`:. 9 x -x^2 =18`
`:. x^2 -9x + 18 = 0`
`:. x- 6X - 3x + 18 =0`
`:. x(x-6)-3 (x-6)=0`
`:.(x -3) (x -6) =0`
`:. x =3 Omega or x = 6Omega`
Hence `y = 9-x =9-3 = 6 Omega or y =9 -6 = 3OMEGA`
THUS, ` x=3 Omega and y = 6Omega or x =6 Omega and y = 3Omega`
