An electric geyser consumes electricity at the rate of 1000 W. If l the potential difference through the 1 electric circuit is 250 V, find the resistance offered by geyser and electric current through the circuit.

Answer»

Solution :Given:Power input (P) = 1000 W, Potential difference (V) = 250 V
To find : Electric CURRENT (I) and Resistance (R)
Formula : P = VI and V = IR
Solution :We know that powerP=VI
`therefore` 1000 W = 250 V x I
`therefore I="1000 V"/"250 V"=4 A`
We know, resistance R = V /I
`therefore R="250 V"/"4A"=62.5 Omega`

Answer»

`-20 KJ`
20 J
`-12 KJ`
20 KJ

Solution :Change in internal energy
`DELTAU = nC_v DELTAT and T = (PV)/(NR)`
`DeltaT = T_2 -T_1 = (P_2V_2-P_1V_1)/(nR) , C_v =R/(gamma-1)`
`DeltaU = (nR)/(gamma-1)((P_2V_2-P_1V_1)/(nR))=(P_2V_2-P_1V_1)/(gamma-1)`
`= (5xx4-2xx6)/(3/5-1) = (20-12)/(-2//5)=(-8)/(2//5)- 20 KJ`

"Stars appear higher than they actually are". Give reason.

Answer»

Solution :No. As the light from a STAR passes through the earth.s atmosphere, it UNDERGOES multiple refractions due to changes in refractive index in different REGIONS of the atmosphere. Thus atmosphere REFRACTION tends to bend starlight towards the normal and hence, the star appears slightly higher than its actual position as shown.

What is a solenoid ? Draw the pattern of magnetic field lines of (i) a current-carrying solenoid, and (ii) a bar magnet. List two distinguishing features between the two fields.

Answer»

Solution :For solenoid and field pattern of a current-carrying solenoid, see Short Answer Question Number 12 and Fig. 13.21. For MAGNETIC field lines of a BAR magnet, see Fig. 13.3.
Two distinguishing features between the field due to a solenoid and field due to bar magnet are as follows:
1. The strength of magnetic field of a solenoid can be changed by CHANGING the current FLOWING through the solenoid. HOWEVER, strength of magnetic field of a bar magnet cannot be changed.
2. The direction of magnetic field in a solenoid may be reversed by reversing the direction of current flowing but magnetic field of a bar magnet cannot be reversed.
