According to Newton's law of gravitation, the apple and the earth experience equal and opposite forces due to gravitation. But it is the apple falls towards the earth and not vice-versa. Why?

Answer»

SOLUTION :Yes, the apple atrracts the EARTH with equal force but the mass of the apple is much less as compared to that of the Earth.
We know `F=ma` or `a=F/m`
Hence GREATER the mass, LESSER the acceleration. Therefopre, due to greater mass, the Earth's acceleration is almost zero.

Explain in brief the reason for each of the following : (i) Advanced sun-rise (ii) Delayed sun-set (iii) Twinkling of stars

Answer»

Solution :(i) Advanced sun-rise : When the sun is slightly below the horizon, light rays coming from the sun travel from the rarer to DENSER medium layers of air because of atmospheric refraction of light, light appears to come from a higher position above the horizon. Thus the sun appear earlier than actual sun rise.
(ii) Delayed sun-set : Same REASON as similar refraction occurs at the sunset.

(iii) TWINKLING of stars : The light coming from the stars gets refracted several times before reaching the OBSERVER.s eye. Due to change in physical condition of the atmosphere the light sometimes REACHES the observer and sometimes it doesn.t, hence they appear to twinkle.

An electric lamp of 100Omega, a toaster of resistance 50 Omega, and a water filter of resistance 500 Omega are connected in parallel to a 220 V source. What is the resistance of an electric iron connected to the same source that takes as much current as all three appliances and what is the current through it?

Answer»

Solution :Here. Resistance of an electric LAMP `R_1 = 100 Omega`
Resistance of a toaster `R_2 = 50 Omega`
Resistance of a water filter `R_3 =500 Omega`
Equivalent resistance `R_p` of THREE resistors
`R_1,R_2 and R_3` connected in parallel is given by,
`1/R_P = 1/R_1 + 1/R_2 + 1/R_3`
`:.1/R_P = 1/100 + 1/50 + 1/500`
`= (5 + 10 + 1)/500`
`=16/500`
`:. R_p = 500/16`
`=125/4`
`= 31.25 Omega`
Total current through the circuit (i.e.. through all the three APPLIANCES)
`I = V/R_p`
`=220/(31.25)`
`= 7.04 A`
Since the electric IRON connected to the same SOURCE (Le., 220 V) takes as much current as taken by all the three appliances (Le., I = 7.04 A), its resistance must be equal to `R_p`.
So. the resistance of the electric iron = `31.25 Omega`
and the current through the electric iron = 7.04 A

(i) With the helpof an activity, explain the method of inducing electric current in a coil with a moving magnet. State the rule used to find the direction of electric current thus generated in the coil. (ii) Two circular coils P and Q are kept close to each other, of which coil P carries a current. What will you observe in Q? (a) If current in the coil P is changed? (b) If both the coils are moved in the same direction with the same speed? Give reason.

Answer»

Solution :(i) Activity:
(a) Take a coil of wire AB havinga large number of turns.

(b) Connect the ENDS of the coil to a galvanometer.
(c ) Take a STRONG bar magnet and move its north pole towards the end B of the coil.
(d) There is a momentary deflection in the needle of the galvanometer, say to the right. This indicates the presence of a current in the coil AB. The deflection becomes zero the MOMENT the motion of the magnet stops.
(E ) Now withdraw the north pole of the magnet away from the coil. Now the galvanometer is deflected toward the left, showing that the current is now sep up in the directionopposite to the first.
(f) Place the magnet STATIONARY at a point near to the coil, keeping its north pole towards the end B of the coil. We see that the galvanometer needle deflects toward the right when the coil is moved towards the north pole of the magnet. Similarly, the needle moves toward left when the coil is moved away.
When the coil is kept stationary with respect to the magnet, the deflection of the galvanometer drops to zero.
To find the direction of electric current Fleming.s right hand rule is applied. According to it, if we stretch the forefinger, middle finger and thumb of our right hand mutually perpendicular in such a way that thumb points along the direction of motion of conductor, forefinger along the direction of magnetic field, then the middle finger points along the direction of induced current.
(ii) (a) When current in P is changed, the field associated with Q will vary causing an induced current in Q.
(b) If both the coils are moved in the same direction with same speed, there will not be any change in the field associated with Q. Hence no current will be induced in Q.

A wire of given material having length l and area of cross-section A has a resistance of 4 n. What would be the resistance of another wire of the same material having length 1/2 and area of cross - section 2A ?

Answer»

SOLUTION :For FIRST wire :
`R_1= RHO l/A = 4Omega`
Now, for second wire :
`R_2=rho (1/2)/(2A) = (1/4) rho 1/4`
`R_2= 1/4 R_1( :. R_1 = rho 1/A)`
`:. R_2 = 1/4 xx 4 ( :. R_1 = 4Omega`given)
`:. R_2 = 1 Omega`
The resistance of the another wire is `1 Omega`.
