|
Answer» Solution :Circuit diagram. w.k.t DC biasing condition to be SATISFIED is `V_(BB) = V_(BE) + I_(B) R_(B)` when a signal voltage `V_(1)` is supplied, `V_(i) = Delta I_(B) R_(B) + Delta I_(B) r_(i)` i.e., `"" V_(i) = Delta I_(B) (R_(B) + r)` `V_(i) = r Delta I_(B) R_(B) "" `where, r = `R_(B) + r_(i)` In the AMPLIFIER, circuit , for a change in base CURRENT, there will be a large variation in the collector current. i.e., ac current gain `A_(i) = beta_("ac") = (Delta I_(C))/(Delta I_(B)) ~~ beta_(dc) = (i_(C))/(i_(B))` By applying Kirchhoffs law to the output loop, `V_("CC") = V_(CE) + I_(C) R_(L)` Since change in base current causes change in collector current, `Delta V_("CC") = Delta V_(CE) + R_(L) Delta I_(C).` But `V_("CC")` is fixed. Hence `Delta V_("CC")` = 0. i.e., `'"" Delta_(CE) = -R_(L) Delta I_(C) = V_(0)` the voltage gain of the amplifier`A_(v) =(V_(0))/(V_(i)) ` i.e.,`""A_(v) =(V_(0))/(V_(i)) = (-beta_(ac) R_(L) Delta I_(B))/(r Delta I_(B))` or `"" A_(v) = (-beta_(ac) R_(L))/(r)` where, `R_(L) = R_(c) + r_(0)`

A galvanometer having 30 divisions has current sensitivity of 20 μA/ division. It has a resistance of 25 ohm. How will you convert it into an ammeter measuring upto 1 A? How will you now convert this ammeter into a voltmeter reading upto 1 V? |
|
Answer» Solution :The full scale deflection current `i_(g)=30xx(20xx10^(-6))=6xx10^(-4)A`. If S is the required VALUE of the shunt connected in parallel with the galvanometer, then `i_(g)=S/(S+G)irArr6xx10^(-4)=S/(S+25)xxl` After SOLVING, we GET `S=150/9994Omega-0.01150Omega` The resistance of the ammeter `R_(A)=(SG)/(S+G)=(0.0150xx25)/(0.0150+25)=0.0150Omega` To convert this ammeter into the voltmeter, we can use `V=i_(g)(R_(A)+R_(0))` Here `V=1V,i_(g)=1A` `therefore1=1(0.0150+R_(0))` or `R_(0)=0.985Omega` |

What is the difference between hole current and electron current ? |
|
Answer» Solution :A p-type semiconductor has HOLES as majority carriers and during conduction, the ELECTRON jumps from nearby covalent bond to occupy the hole and thus the hole SHIFTS towards covalent bond from which the electron has jumped. This MOVEMENT of hole is called hole current. An n-type semiconductor has electrons as majority carriers and during conduction, the free electrons constitute the electron current. |

A wooden core (figure ) supports two coils : coil 1 with inductance L_(1) and shor - circuited coil2 with active resistance R and inductance L_(2). The mutual inductance of the coils depends on the distance x between them according to the law L_(12)(x). Find the mean ( averaged over time ) value of the interaction force between the coils when coil 1 carries an alternating current I_(1)=I_(0)cos omegat |
|
Answer» Solution :We consider the force `vec(F_(12))` that a circuit 1 exerts on another closed circuuit 2`:-` `vec(F_(12))=ointI_(tau)d vec(l_(2)) xx vec(B_(12))` Here `vec(B_(12))=` magnetic field at the site of the current element `dvec(l_(2))`due to the current `I_(1)` flowing in 1 . `=(mu_(0))/( 4 pi ) int(I_(1)dvec(l_(1))xxvec(r_(12)))/(r_(12)^(3))` where `vec(r_(12))=vec(r_(2))-vec(r_(1))=` vector, current element `dvec(l_(1))` to the current element `dvec(l_(2))` Now `vec(F_(12))=(mu_(0))/( 4pi)int intI_(1)I_(2)(dvec(l_(2))xx(dvec(l_(1))xxvec(r_(12))))/(r_(12)^(3))=(mu_(0))/(4pi) int intI_(1)I_(2)(dvec(l_(2))(dvec(l_(2)).vec(r_(12)))-(dvec(l_(1)).dvec(l_(2)))vec(r_(12)))/(r_(12)^(3))` In the first term, we carry out the integration over `dvec(l_tau)` first. Then `int int (dvec(l_(1))(dvec(l_(2)).vec(r_(12))))/(r_(12)^(3))=int d vec(l_(2))oint(dvec(l_(2)).vec(r_(12)))/(r_(12)^(3))=-intd vec(l_(1))oint d vec(l_(2)). grad_(2)(1)/( r_(12))=0` because `oint dl_(2). grad_(2)(1)/(r_(12))=intd vec(S_(2)) curl (grad(1)/(r_(12)))=0` Thus `F_(12)=-(mu_(0))/(4pi) int int I_(1)I_(2)dvec(l_(1)).dvec(l_(2))(vec(r_(12)))/( r_(12)^(3))` The integral involved will depend on the vector `vec(a)` that defines the separation of the `(` suitably CHOSEN `)` CENTRE of the coils . Let `C_(1)` and `C_(2)` be the centres of the two coil suitably defined. Write `vec(r_(12))=vec(r_(2))-vec(r_(1))=vec(rho_(2))-vec(rho_(1))+vec(a)` where `vec(rho_(1))(vec(p_(2)))` is the distance of `dvec(l_(1))(dvec(l_(2)))` from `C_(1)(C_(2))`and `vec(a)` stands for the vector `C_(1)vec(C_(2))`. Then `(vec(r_(12)))/(r_(12)^(3))=-vec(grad_(vec(a)))(1)/(r_(12))` and `vec(F_(12))=vec("grad")_(a)[I_(1)I_(2)(mu_(0))/( 4pi)int int(dvec(l_(1)).dvec(l_(2)))/(r_(12))]` The bracket defines the mutual inductance `L_(12)`. Thus noting the definition of `x` `lt F_(x) gt =(deltaL_(12))/( deltax) lt I_(1)I_(2) gt` where `lt gt` denotes time average. Now `I_(1)=I_(2)cos omegat=` Real part of `I_(0)e^(iomegat)` ltbr. The current in coil 2 satisfies `RI_(2)+L_(2)(dI_(2))/(dt)=-L_(12)(dI_(1))/(dt)` or ` I_(2)=(-iomegaL_(12))/( R+iomegaL_(2))I_(0)e^(iomegat )` ( in the complex case) taking the real part `I_(2)=-(omegaL_(12)I_(0))/(R^(2)+omega^(2)L_(2)^(2))( omegaL_(2)cosomegat-R sin omegat)=- (omegaL_(12))/(sqrt(R^(2)+omega^(2)L_(2)^(2)))I_(0)cos ( cosomegat+varphi)` Where `tan varphi=(R)/( omegaL_(2))`. Taking time average, we get `lt F_(x) gt =(deltaL_(12))/(delta x)I_(0)(omegaL_(12)I_(0))/(sqrt(R^(2)+omega^(2)L_(2)^(2))).(1)/(2) cos varphi=(omega^(2)L_(2)L_(12)I_(0)^(2))/( 2(R^(2)+omega^(2)L_(2)^(2)))(deltaL_(12))/( deltax)` The repulsive nature of the force is also consistent with Lenz's law, assuming, of comse, that `L_(12)` decreases with `x`. |

Answer» Solution : `R=sqrt(X^(2) + y^(2)) (y/x = TAN theta)` `=sqrt(x^(2) + (x tan theta)^(2)) =xsqrt(1 + tan^(2) theta) =x sec theta` `x=ut, y=1/2 "gt"^(2), y/x = 1/2("gt"^(2))/(ut)` `tan theta =("gt")/(2u), t=(2u)/gtan theta` `x=ut =(2u^(2))/g tan theta, therefore R=(2u^(2))/g. tan theta.sec theta` |

Consider a thick walled metallic spherical shell with inner radius a and outer radius b. No charge is given to the spherical shell. A point charge +Q is kept at the centre. Find the electric potential at a point distance x from thecentre where 0lt x lt oo. |
Answer» Solution : See the figure for charges induced on the inner and outer surfaces of a thick walled spherical shell. Charge induced on the inner surface is -Q and charge appearing on outer surface is +Q . These two spherical surfaces will act like two thin spherical shells of radius a and b respectively. In between these two faces,electric field intensity will remain zero. Hence, electric potential will remain constant for `a lt x lt b`. Moreover to PROCEED further we should be AWARE of the fact that elecrtric potential, due to a thin spherical shell for points outside it or on the surface, is same as that of a POINT charge as it it were kept at its centre and electric potential inside the thin spherical shell is same as that on its surface. We know that electric potential due to a point charge at a point that is at a distance x from it is given by the formula `V=(q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)` and now we can use the above stated information to write electric potential for different points due to the given system. (i) `0 lt x lt a` `V=(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)+(-Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)a)+(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)b)` `rArr V=(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)-(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)a)+(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)b)"" ...(i)` (ii) `a lt x lt b` `V=(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)+(-Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)+(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)b)` `rArr V=(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)b)"" ...(ii)` Note that value of potential for x = a, is same from both the equations (i) and (ii). Hence, there is no DISCONTINUITY. (iii) `b lt x lt oo` `V=(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)+(-Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)+(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)` `rArr V=(Q)/(4pi epsilon_(0)x)"" ...(iii)` Note that value of potential at x = b is same from both the equaiton (ii) and (iii). Hence, there is no discontinuity at this point also. Electric potential due to the sbove system is defined for all the points EXCEPT x = 0. At x = 0, potential approaches infinity. Graph between electric potential and distance from the centre is shown in the figure. |
