Two small identical electrical dipoles AB and CD each of dipole moment 'p' are kept at an angle of120 ^(@)as shown in What is the resultant dipole moment of this combination ? If this system is subjected to electric field. oversetto E directed along +X direction ,what will be the magnitude and direction of the torque acting on this? (##U_LIK_SP_PHY_XII_C01_E09_029_Q01.png" width="80%">

Answer»

Solution :As shown in let two identical electric dipoles AB and CD are kept at an ANGLE ` theta= 120 ^(@) ` ,where their dipole moment have magnitude
`""| oversetto (p_A) |=|(oversetto p_C)| =p`
The resultant dipole moment subtend an angle ` (theta)/(2)= 60 ^(@)` from EITHER of two dipoles ` oversetto (p_A)or oversetto (p_B) ` Therefore `oversetto (p_R) ` subtend an angle `30^(@) `from +X direction
If the system is SUBJECTED to electric field `oversetto E ` directed along +X direction, the torque acting on the system is
` oversetto tau = oversetto (p_R) xx oversetto E `
Thus ,the magnitude of torque is ` | oversetto (tau)| =pE sin 30^(@) =(1)/(2)pE `and the torque is directed into the plane of paper i.e., the torquetends to align the system along the direction of electric field `oversetto E `

The body in shown figure is pivoted at O, and two forces act on its as shown. Find an expression for the net torque on the body about the pivot.

Answer»

Solution : Take a troque that TENDS to CAUSE a counter CLOCKWISE rotation to be POSITIVE and a torque that tends to cause a clockwise rotation to be negative. Thus a positive torque of magnitude `r_1 F_1sin theta_1` is associated with`vecF_1`and a negative torque of magnitude `r_2 F_2 sin theta_2`is associated with `vecF_2`. Both of these are about O. The net torque about O is`TAU = r_1 F_2 sin theta_2`

What is modulation ? Briefly explain three reasons which make modulation an essential step in communication system.

Answer»

Solution :Modulation. The process by which some characteristics of a relatively high frequency wave ( called carrier wave ) is varied in accordance with the instantaneous value of a low frequency wave ( called MODULATING wave ) is called modulation.
Reasons for modulation `(i)` For transmission of signal, the height of transmitting ANTENNA should be comparable to wavelength of signal. For audio frequency having range of frequency from `20HZ` to `20,000Hz,` the height of antenna should be from `15km` to `15000km` which is not possible, hence modulation of signal is required.
`(ii)` The effective power radiated by an antenna is inversely proportional to square of length of antenna height. So for more power to be radiated, the height of the antenna should be small, hence modulation is needed.
`(iii)` If large number of signals are to be transmitted in the audio range `(20Hz` to `20kHz)` these signals GET mixed and it becomes almost impossible to distinguish them. To remove this difficulty we communicate at higher frequencies and allotting a band of frequencies to each user. Hence modulation of the signal of low frequency to high frequency is required.

An aeroplane is flying at a height of 2000 m above the ground horizontally with a uniform speed of 720 km/h. At what angle of sight (w.r. to the horizontal) should the pilot drop a bomb so as to hit target on the ground ?

Answer»

26°.57
30°.2
41°.3
20°.41

Solution :Here horizontal speed of the aeroplane = `720xx5/18`
`200ms^(-1)`
Height h = 2000 m
Now LET X be the horizontal distance, then
`h=0+1/2g t^(2)`
or, `2000=1/2xx10t^(2)`
`t=20sec`
x = ut = `200 xx 20`Now `tantheta=h/x=2000/4000`
`=1/2`
or `theta=tan^(-1)0.5=26^@57.`

There are 10 capacitors. each of capacitance 10 muF. The ratio of maximum to minimum capacitance obtained by their combination is ......

Answer»

`5:1`
`10 :1`
`50 :1`
`100 :1`

Solution :Since in PARALLEL connection, maximum capacitance `C_(1)` is obtained.
`C_(1) = nC = 10xx10= 100 muF `
In series connection, minimum capacitance `C_(2)` is obtained.
`C_(2) = (C)/(n) = (10)/(10)= 1 mu F `
`:. (C_(1))/(C_(2))= (100)/(1) = 100 :1`

Explain how transistor can be used as an oscillator ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) In an oscillator, we get ac output without any external input signal.

(ii) Here L-Ccircuit in emitter-base circuit of transistorwhich is forward biased with battery `V_(B B )` . The collector emitter circuit is reverse biased with battery `V_( C C ) `.
(iii) A coil `L_(1)` is inserted in collector emitter circuit . It is coupled with L.
Working `:`
(i) If we close the key ( K ) , weak collector current start RISING with time due to the inductance `L_(2)`. As a result,INCREASING magnetic flux is linked with `L_(1)` and `l.` brgt (ii) Due to mutual induction, anemf is induced in L which will charge the upper plate ofcapacitor ( C ) , CONSEQUENTLY there will be support to the forward of emitter base circuit.
(iii) This results in an increasing in the emitter current and hence an increase in the collector current.
(iv) Due to it, more increasing magnetic flux is linkedwith `L_(10` & L .
(v) The aboveprocess continues till the collector current becomes maximum ( or ) saturated.
(vi) The resonant frequency of tuned circuit at which the oscillator will oscillate.
`v =(1)/( 2pi sqrt( LC))`

An inductor of 5 H inductance carries a steady current of 2A. How can a 50 V self-induced emf be made to appear in the inductor ?

Answer»

Solution :L =5H, |e| = 50V.
LET US produce the required emf by reducing current to zero.
Now, `|e|=L(dI)/(DT)` or `dt=(LdI)/(|e|)=(5 xx 2)/(50)s=(10)/(50)s=(1)/(5)s=0.2s`
So, the desired emf can be produced by reducing the GIVEN current to zero in 0.2 second.

`(sqrtl)/([g^(2)+((P)/(mc))^(2)]^(1/4))`
`sqrt((l)/(g^(2)+(P)/(mc)))`
`sqrt((g^(2)+(P)/(mc))/(l))`

A very ftexible chain of length L and mass M is vertically suspended with its lower end just touching the table. If it is is released so that each link strikes the table and comes to rest, what force the chain will exert on table at the moment 'y' part of length falls on table ?

Answer»

Solution :Since chain is uniform, the mass of y part of chain will be `((M)/(L)y)`. When this part reaches the table, its total FORCE exerted must be equal to
weight of y part RESTING on table + Force due to MOMENTUM imparted
`= (M)/(L)YG +(((M)/(L)dy)sqrt(2gy))/(dt)=(Mg)/(L)y+(M)/(L)y+(M)/(L)v sqrt(2gy)`
`(as(dy)/(dt)=v)=(Mg)/(L)y +(M)/(L)sqrt(2gy).sqrt(2gy)=3(My)/(L)g`

The intensity distribution curve for interference of Young.s double slit experiment is in figure.

From the graph, it can be said that all interference fringes are the same width and the same intensity.
Points on which the estructive interference occur have zero intensity.
The distance between two successive bright fringes or two successive dark fringes is same and the intensity of fringe does not depend on the order of fringes.
