What is a fuse ?Why is it called a safety device ?

Answer»

Solution :A fuse is a piece of wire of a metal or an alloy of low melting point and and is connected in SERIES with an electric circuit.
If a current LARGER than the specified VALUE flows through an electric circuit temperature of fuse wire rises beyond its melting point and the fuse malts.As a result, the electric circuit BREAKS. As a result, damage to electric circuitdue to flow of excessive current (either due to short circuiting or over LOADING) is prevented due to this very reason fuse is called a safety device.

"Wearing helmet and fastening the seat belt is higly recommended for safe journey" justify your answer using Newton's law of motion.

Answer»

Solution :(i) According to Newton.s second Law, when you fall from a BIKE on the ground with a force equal to your mass and acceleration of the bike.
According to Newton.s Third Law, an equal and OPPOSITE reacting force on the ground is exerted on your body. When you do not wear a helmet, this reacting force can cause fatal head injuries. So it is important to wear helmet for a safe journey.
(ii) inertia in the reason that people in cars need to wear seat belts. A moving car has inertia, and so do the riders inside it. When the driver applies the BRAKES, an UNBALANCED force in applied to the car. Normally the bottom of the seat applies an unbalanced force friction which slows the riders down as the car slows. If the driver stops the car SUDDENLY, however this force is not exerted over enough time to stop the motion of the riders. Instead, the riders continue moving forward with most of their original speed because of their inertia.

A potential difference of 10 V is needed to make a current of 0.02 A flow through a wire. What potential difference is needed to make a current of 250 mA to flow through the same wire?

Answer»

Solution :According to the Ohm.s LAW,
`R = V/I`
So, `R = 10 /0.02`
`=500 Omega`
Now, to MAKE a current of
250 mA = `250 XX 10^(-3) A`to flow through the same WIRE, the required potential difference is
`V = IR = 250 xx 10^(-3) xx 500 = 125V`

An object kept 60 cm from a lens gives a virtual image 20 cm in front of the lens . What is the focal length and power of the lens ? Is it is converging lens or diverging lens ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Data : `u=-60 cm, v=-20 cm, f=?`
`1/f =1/v -1/u =(1)/(-20 cm)-(1)/(-60 cm)`
`=-((1)/(20 cm)-(1)/(60cm))=-((3-1)/(60cm))`
`=-(2)/(60cm)=-(1)/(30cm)`
`therefore ` The focal length of the LENS , f=-30 cm. As f is NEGATIVE , it is diverging lens.
