From what height a piece of ice at zero degree fall in order that it may melt on reaching the ground, assumin8 no loss of energY on the way : (J=4 cdot 2J// cal):

Answer»

`3 cdot 4xx10^(6) cm`
`3 cdot 4 xx10^(5) cm`
`3 cdot 4 xx 10^(6) mts`
`3 cdot 4 xx10^(5) cm`

Solution :LET m be mas of ice BLOCK and h be the height above the ground.
`therefore` Work done W=mgh.
Heat produced `Q=(W)/(J) =(mgh)/(J)`
Heat REQUIRED to melt ice block Q.=mL
`therefore (mgh)/(J)=mL`
`h=(JL)/(g)=(4 cdot 2 xx80xx10^(3))/(9 cdot 8)`
`=3 cdot 4xx10^(4)m =3 cdot 4 xx10^(6) cm`
Thus, correct choice is (a).

Find the kinetic energy, potential energy and total energy in first and second orbit of hydrogen atom if potential energy in first orbit is taken to be zero.

Answer»

SOLUTION :`E_(1)=-13.60eV,K_(1)=-E_(1)=13.60eV`
`U_(1)=2E_(1)=-27.20eV`
`E_(2)=-3.40eV""K_(2)=3.40eV` and
`U_(2)=-6.80eV`
Now, `U_(1)=0`, i.e., potential energy has been INCREASED by 27.20eV. So, we willincrease U and E in all energy states by 27.20eV while kinetic energy will remain unchanged. Hence `K(eV),U(eV),E_(eV)` FIRST orbit are 13.6, 0, 13.6 in SECOND orbit 3.40, 20.40, 23.80

The kinetic energy of a compressed gas is less than that of a rarefied gas at the same temperature. Why?

Answer»

Solution :Here the kinetic energy of MOLECULES is the same as both are at the same TEMPERATURE.. Now consider the case of compressed gas. In compression process, the molecules come closer and the mutual ATTRACTION between molecules increases. The potential energy is added to the internal energy. As the potential energy is negative and hence the TOTAL internal energy of the compressed gas decreases

The A.C. voltage and the current in a circuit are given by the following expressions. V=110sqrt2 cos (2000t + 25^@)V and I = 10sqrt2 cos (2000t - 20^@)A. Calculate impedance and resistance of the circuit.

Answer»

7.679 `Omega`
7.579`Omega`
7.779`Omega`
7.879`Omega`

Solution :Here `delta_1=-25^@` and `delta_2=20^@`
`V_m=110sqrt2V`
`I_m=10sqrt2A`
`omega`=2000 rad/s
`delta=delta_2-delta_1=20^@-(-25^@)=45^@`
Fro L-C-R series circuit
`TAN delta=(omegaL-1/(OMEGAC))/R`
`tan45^@ = (omegaL-1/(omegaC))/R`
`therefore R=omegaL-1/(omegaC)`....(1) `[because tan45^@=1]`
Now, `|Z| = sqrt(R^2+(omegaL-1/(omegaC))^2)`
`=sqrt(R^2+R^2)` [From (1)]
`therefore |Z|=sqrt2R` ...(2)
But `|Z|=V_m/I_m=(110sqrt2)/(10sqrt2)=11Omega`
`therefore` From EQUATION (2),
`|Z|=sqrt2R`
`11=sqrt2R`
`therefore R=11/sqrt2`
`=11/1.414`
`therefore R=7.779 Omega`

How would you set up a circuit to obtain NOT gate using a transistor?

Answer»

Solution :
For case I:
When `A=0, I_(B)=0`
`RARR I_(C )=beta I_(B)=0`
Now `V_(C C)=I_(C )R_(C )+V_(CE)`
`=0+v_(0)`
`therefore v_(0)=V_(C C)=5V`
`rArr` STATE of output `C=1rArrC=barA`
For case II :
When `A=1, I_(B)=` MAX.
`rArr I_(C )=beta I_(B)=`max.
Now `V_(C C)=I_(C )R_(C )+V_(CE )`
`5=5+V_(CE)""(because I_(C )="max.")`
`therefore v_(0)=V_(C C)=0`
`rArr ` State of output `C=0 rArr C=barA`
Thus, above circuit BEHAVES like NOT gate.

Thus, `C=barA`

`B= (mu_(0))/(4pi) ((I)/(r ))`
zero

Solution :The magnetic field at point P DUE to current I in AB is
`B_(AB) = (mu_(0))/(4pi) (I)/(r ) Ox`
The magnetic field at point P due to current I in BC is
`B_(BC)=0` (As the point P is along the BC). The magnetic field at point P due to current I in A.B. is
`B_(A.B.)=(mu_(0))/(4pi) (I)/(r ) ox`
The magnetic field at point P due to current I in B.C. is
`B_(B.C.)= 0` (as the point P is along the BC)

`:.` The net magnetic FIELDAT P is
`B= B_(AB) + B_(BC) + B_(A.B.) + B_(B.C.)`

An electron is accelerated by a potential difference of 10^(2) V Find the group and the phase velocities of the de Broglie waves. Do the same for a potential difference of 10^(6) V.

Answer»


Solution :(1) At the accelerating potential `Phi_(1)=10^(2)V` the electron is a nonrelativistic particle. Its momentum is `p_(1)=sqrt(2mePhi_(1))` and the velocity is `v_(1)=sqrt(2ePhi_(1)//m)`. But the group velocity of the de BROGLIE wave is equal to the particle.s velocity: `U_(1)=v_(1)`. The phase velocity is
`u_(1)=e^(2)/v_(1)=e^(2)sqrt(m/(2ePhi_(1)))`
(2) At the accelerating potential `Phi_(2)=10^(5)V` the electron is a relativistic particle. Its momentum is found from the condition `sqrt(epsilon_(2)^(2)+p^(2)c^(2))=epsi_(0)+ePhi_(2)`, from which is follows that `p_(2)=1/csqrt(ePhi_(2)(2epsi_(0)+ePhi_(2)))`. The mass is found from the condition `m_(2)c^(2)=epsi_(0)+ePhi_(2)`, where `m_(2)=1/c^(2)(epsi_(0)+ePhi_(2))`. The group velocity is
`U_(2)=v_(2)=p_(2)/m_(2)=(csqrt(ePhi_(2)(2epsi_(0)+ePhi_(2))))/(epsi_(0)+ePhi_(2))`
The phase velocity is
`u_(2)=c^(2)/v_(2)=(c(epsi_(0)+ePhi_(2)))/(sqrt(ePhi_(2)(2epsi_(0)+ePhi_(2))))`
Note that in this case the energy is conveniently expressed not in JOULES, but in kiloelectron-volts, since `epsi_(0)=520keV`.

In a circuit the coil of a choke

Answer»

increase the current
has HIGH resistance to `DC` circuit
decrease the current
no effect with the current

Solution :Chock coil is a high inductance coil made of thick insulatedcopper wire wound closely in ALARGE in a large nuber of turns over a soft-iron LAMINATED CORE. Since, the wire is of copper and is thick, its resistance `(R )` is almost zero, but due to large number of turns and high. the coil, therefore offers a large reactance and contributes current appreciably. thus, current in an alternating circuit is reduced by MEANS of a choke coil.

Figure 32-15a, drawn in perspective, shows a system of three polarizing sheets in the palh of initially uL1polarized light. The polarizing direction of the first sheet is parallel to the y axis, that of the second sheet is al an angle of 60° counterclockwise from the y axis, and thaL of the third sheet is parallel to the x axis. What fraction of the initial intensity I_(0) of the light emerges from the three-sheet system. and in which direction is that emerging light polarized?

Answer»

Solution :1. We work through the SYSTEM sheet by sheet, Crom the first one encountered by the light to the last one.
2. .Tufind theintensity transmitted by any sheet, we apply either the one-half rule or the cosine-squared rule, depending, on whether the light reaching the sheet is UNPOLARIZED or already polarized.
3. The light thaL is tTansmitted by a POLARIZING sheet is always polarized parallelto the polariring direction of the sheet.
First sheet: The original light wave is represented in Fig. 32-lSb, using, the head-on,double-arrow representation of Fig. 32-10 b. Because the light is initially unpolarized, the intensity `I_(1)`of the light tnmsmitted by the first sheet is GIVEN by the one-half rule (Eq. 32-31):
`I_(1) =(1)/(2) I_(0)`
Because the polarizing direction of the first sheet is parallel to the y axis, the polarization of the light transmitted by it is also, as shown in the head-on view of Fig. 32-15c. Second sheet: Because the light r eaching the second sheet is polarized, the intensity `I_(2)`of the light transmitted by that sheet is given by the cosine-squared rule (Eq. 32-33). The angle `theta`in the rule is the angle between the polarization direction of the entering Light (parallel to the y axis) and the polarizing direction of the second sheet `(60^(@)` counterclockwise Crom the y axis), and so `theta`is `60^(@)` . (The larger angle between the two dfrections, namely `120^(@)` , can also be used.) We have
`I_(2) =I_(1) cos^(2) 60^(@)` .
The polarization of this transmitted light is parallel to the polarizing di reclion of the sheet transmitting it-that is `60^(@)` counterclockwise from they axis, as shown in the head-on view of Fig. 32-15 d.

Figure(a) Initially unpolarized light or intensity `I_(0)` is sent into a system of three polarizing sheets. The intensities `I_(1) , I_(2)`and `I_(3)`of the light transmitted by tbe sheets are LABELED. Shown also are the polarizations, from bead-on views, of (b) the initial light and the light lransmicted by (c) the first sheet, (d) the second sheet, and (e) the third sheet.
Third sheet: Because the Hght reaching the third sheet is polarized, the intensity `I_(3)`of the light transmitted by that sheet is given by the cosine-squared rule. The angle `theta`is now the angle between the polarization direction of the entering light (Fig. 32-15 d) and the polarizing direction ofthe third sheet (parallel to the x axis), and so `theta = 30°` . Thus
`I_(3) =I_(2) cos^(2) 30^(@)` .
This final transmitted light is polarized parallel to the x axis (Fig. 32-15e). We find its intensity by substituting first for `I_(2)` and then for `I_(1)` in the equation above:
`I_(3) =I_(2) cos^(2) 30^(@) = (I_(1) cos^(2) 60^(@)) cos^(2) 30^(@)`
`=((1)/(2)I_(0)) cos^(2) 60^(@) 30^(@) =0.094I_(0)` .
Thus `(I_(3))/(I_(0)) =0.094` . ( Answer )
That is to say, 9.4% of the initial intensity emerges from the three-sheet system. (Ifwe now remove the second sheet, what fraction of the initial intensity emerges from the system?)

A magnetic field of (4.0 xx 10^(-3) hat k) T exerts a force (4.0 hat i + 3.0 hat j) xx 10^(-10) N on a particle having a charge 10^(-9) C and moving in the x-y plane. Find the velocity of the particle.

Answer»

Solution :Given Magnetic force
`vecF_(m) = (4.0 hati + 3.0 hatj) xx 10^(-10)N`
Let veloctiy of the particle in X-y plane be,
` vec v = v_x HAT i + v_y hat J`
Then from the relation `vec F_m = q(vec v xx vec B)`
we have `(4.0 hati + 3.0 hatj) xx 10^(10) = 10^(-9)[(v_x hat i + v_y hatj) xx (4 xx 10^(-3) hat k)]`
`= (4v_y xx 10^(-12) hat i- 4v _x xx 10^(-12) hat j )`
COMPARING the coefficient of `hat i` and `hatj` we have,
`4 x 10^(-10) = 4 v_y xx 10^(-12)`
`thereforev_y = 10^2 m//s = 100 m //s`
and `3.0 xx 10^(-10) = -4 v_x xx 10^(-12)`
`thereforev_x = - 75 m//s`
`therefore vec v = -75 hat i + 100 hat j`

Explain briefly, with the help of a labelled diagram, the basic principle of working of an a.c. generator. In an a.c. generator, coil of N turns and area A is rotated at upsilonrevolutions per second in a uniform magnetic field B. Write the expression for the emf produced. A 100-turn coil of area 0.1m^(2) rotates at half a revolution per second.It is placed in a magnetic field 0.01 T perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the coil. Calculate themaximum voltage generated in the coil.

Answer»

Solution :A.C. GENERATOR
Principle :Whenever a closed coil is rotated in a uniform magnetic field about an AXIS perpendicular to the field, the magnetic flux linked with coil changes and an induced emf is set up across its ends. The essential parts of an a.c. generator are shown in the above figure. Initially the armature coil ABCD is horizontal . As the coil is rotated clockwise, the arm AB moves up and CD moves down By Fleming's right hand rule, the induced current flows along ABCD. In second half rotation, the arm CD moves up and AB moves down. The induced current flows in the opposite direction i.e., along DCBA. Thus, an alternating current flows in the circuit.

The magnetic flux linked with the coil at any instant is `phi=NB A cos omega t`
Induced emf will be `E=-(d phi)/(dt)=-(d)/(dt) (NBA cos omega t)= NBA omega sinomega t`
or `E=E_(0) sin omega t`
where `E_(0)=NBA omega = ` peak value of induced emf

Huygen was the figure scientist who proposed the idea of wave theory of light he said that the light propagates in form of wavelengths. A wavefront is a imaginary surface of every point of which waves are in the same. phase. For example the wavefront for a point source of light is collection of concentric spheres which have centre at the origin w_(1) is a wavefront w_(2) is another wavefront. The radius of the wavefront at time 't' is 'ct' in thic case where 'c' is the speed of light the direction of propagation of light is perpendicular to the surface of the wavelength. the wavefronts are plane wavefronts in case of a parallel beam of light. Huygen also said that every point of the wavefront acts as the source of secondary wavelets. The tangent drawn to all secondary wavelets at a time is the new wavefront at that time. The wavelets are to be considered only in the forward direction (i.e., the direction of propagation of light) and not in the reverse direction if a wavefront w_(1) and draw spheres of radius 'cDeltat' they are called secondary wavelets. Draw a surface w_(2) which is tangential to all these secondary wavelets w_(2) is the wavefront at time t+Deltat Huygen proved the laws of reflection and laws of refraction using concept of wavefront. Q. The wavefrot of a light beam is given by the equation x+2y+3z=c (where c is arbitrary constant) then the angle made by the direction of light with the y-axis is

Two capacitors C_(1) and C_(2) are charged seperately to potentials 20 V and 10V, respectively. The terminals of capacitors C_(1) and C_(2) are marked as (A-B) and (C-D), respectvely. A is connected with C and B is connected with D. i. Find the final potential dsifference across each eapacitors. ii. Findthe final charge in both capacitors iii. How much heat is produced in the circuit.

Answer»

`128muC` `142muC` `60 uJ`
`28muC` `42muC` `60 uJ`
`28muC` `42muC` `160 uJ`
`2.8muC` `4.2muC` `60 uJ`

Solution :i. Initial charge in capacitor `C_(1)` is

`(Q_(1))_("initial")=C_(1)V_(1)`
`=2xx20=40 mu C`
Initial charge in capacitor `C_(2)` is

`(Q_(2))_("initial")=C_(2)V_(2)`
`=3xx10=30muC`
Let the potential of `B` and `D` be zero and the common potential difference across the capacitors be `V`, then the potentials at `A` and `C` will be `V`.
FROMIT is clear that the left plates of capacitors `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` are forming an isolated system, i.e, they are not CONNECTED from outside. From chatrge conservation,
`C_(1)V+C_(2)V=3V+2V`
`=40+30`
`5V=70` or `V=14 V`
Final charge in capacitor `C_(1)` is
`(Q_(1))_("final")=2xx14=28muC`
Final charge in capacitor `C_(2)` is
`(Q_(2))_("final") = 3 xx 14 = 42 mu C`
The charge flowing in the ciruit in the direction from `A` to `C` is
`Delta Q = 40-28=12mu C`
Now final charges on each plate are SHOWN in.
II. Heat produced in the circuit is
`H=[1/2C_(1)V_(1)^(2)+(1)/(2)C_(2)V_(2)^(2)]-[1/2(C_(1)+C_(2))V^(2)]`
`=[1/2xx2xx(20)^(2)+1/2xx3xx(10)^(2)]-[1/2xx5xx(14)^(2)]`
`=400+150-490=550-490=60muJ`.
