Describe schmattecally, the equipotential surfaces corresponding to(a) a constant electricfield in the Z-direction (b) a field that uniformly increases in magnitudebut remains in a constant, say z direction (c ) a single positive charge at the origin. (d) a uniformgrid consistingof long equally spacedparallel charged wires in a plane.

Answer»

Solution :By defination, an equipotentialsurface is that at EVERY point of whichpotentialis the same. In the four cases given above :
(a) EQUIPOTENTIAL SURFACES are planesparallel to X-Y plane. These are equidistant.
(b) Eequipotential surfaces are planes parallel to X-Y plane. As the field increases uniformly, distance betweenthe planes (differeng by fixed potential) decreases.
(c) Equipotentail surfaces are concetric spheres with origin at the center.
(d) Equipotential surfaces have the surfaces have the shapewhich changesperiodically. At far off distancesfrom the grid, the shape of equipotenial surfaces BECOMES parallel to the grid itself.

Define critical angle. Obtain a relation between the refractive index and critical angle for a pair of media. Does critical angle depend on the colour of light ? Explain.

Answer»

Solution :For definition, see Point Number 25 under the HEADING "CHAPTER At A Glance". Let as shown in Fig. 9.36, `i_c` be the critical ANGLE in an optically denser Rarer medium medium number 1 for which angle of refraction in rarer mediumnumber 2 is 90°. Then, from Snell.s law, we have
`(sini_( c))/(SIN 90^(@)) = n_(21) = 1/n_(12)`
But, `sin 90^(@)=1`, hence, `sin i_(c ) = n_(21) = 1/n_(12) =n_(2)/n_(1) ( or sin i_( c) = n_(rd) = 1/n_(dr)`)

Yes, critical angle depends on the COLOUR of light. We know that refractive index is least for red coloured light and maximum for violet colour light. As a result critical angle for a given pair of media is least for violet colour and has a maximum value for red colour.

Answer»

Solution :The equaciton of motion is,
`m(d^(2) vec(R))/(dt^(2)) = q(vec(E) + vec(v) xx vec(B))`
Now, `vec(v) xx vec(B) = |(HATI,hatj,hatk),(DOT(x),dot(y),dot(z)),(0,0,B)| = vec(i) B doty - vec(j) B dotx`
So, the equaction becomes,
`(dv_(x))/(dt) = (q B v_(y))/(m), (dv_(y))/(dt) = (qE)/(m) - (qB)/(m) v_(x)`, and `(dv_(z))/(dt) = 0`
Here, `v_(x) = dotx, v_(y) = doty, v_(z) = dotz`. The last equactions is easy to intergate,
`v_(z)` = CONSTANT = 0,
since `v_(z)` is zeroinitially. Thusintergating again,
`z` = constant = 0,
and motionis condifned to the `x-y` plane. We now multiply the secoundequaction by `i` and add to the first equatiion.
`xi = v_(x) + iv_(y)`
we get the equation,
`(d xi)/(dt) =i omega xi omega = (qB)/(m)`
This equation afterbeing mutiplied by `e^(i omega t)` can be rewrittenas,
`(d)/(dt) (xi e^(iomega t)) = i omega e^(i omega t) (E)/(B)`
and intergrated at once to give,
`xi = (E)/(B) + C e^(-i omega t -i alpha)`,
where `C` and `alpha` two real constants. Takingreal andimaginary parts.
`v_(x) = (E)/(B) + C cso (omega t + alpha)` and`v_(y) = -C sin (omega t + alpha)`
Since `v_(y) = 0`, when `t = 0`, we can takek `alpha = 0`, then`v_(x) = 0` at `t = 0` gives, `C = - (E)/(B)` we get,
`v_(x) = (E)/(B) (1 - cos omega t)` and`v_(y) = (E)/(B) sin omega t`.
Intergating again and using `x = y = 0`, at `t = 0`, we get
`x(t) = (E)/(B) (t -(sin omega t)/(omega)), y(t) = (E)/(omega B) (1 - cos omegat)`.
This is the equcation of a cycloid.
(b) The velocityis zero, when `omega t = 2n pi`. We see that
`v^(2) = v_(x)^(2) + v_(y)^(2) = ((E)/(B))^(2) (2 - 2 cos omega t)`
pr, `v = (dx)/(dt) = (2E)/(B) |"sin" (omega t)/(2)|`
The quanttiy inside the modulus is positive for `0 lt omega t lt 2pi`. Thuswe candropthe modulusand write for the distancetraversedbetween two successikve zeroesof velocity.
`S = (4E)/(omega B) (1 - "cos" (omega)/(2))`
Putting`omega t = 2pi`, we get
`S = (8E)/(omega B) = (8 mE)/(q B^(2))`
(c) The drift velocity is the x-directionand has the magnitude,
`lt v_(s)gt = lt(E)/(B) (1 - cos omega t) gt = (E)/(B)`.

(a) Find the energy needed to remove a neutron from the nucleus of the calcium isotopes ._(20)^(42)Ca (b) Find the energy needed to remove a proton from this nucleus (c ) Why are these energies different ? Atomic masses of ._(20)^(41)Ca and ._(20)^(42)Ca are 40.962278 u and 41.958622 u respectively.

Answer»

Solution :(a) Removing a neutron from `._(20)^(42)Ca` leaves `._(20)^(41)Ca`. The mass of `._(20)^(41)Ca` plus the mass of a free neutron is:
`40.962278 u +1.008665 u =41.970943 u`
The difference between this mass and the mass of `._(20)^(42)Ca` is `0.012321 u` , so the binding ENERGY of the mission neutron is:
`(0.012321 u) (931.49 MeV//u)=11.48 MeV`
(B) Removing a proton from `._(20)^(42)Ca` leaves the potassium isotope `._(19)^(41)K`. A similar CALCULATION gives a binding energy of `10.27 MeV` for the missing proton.
(C ) The neutron was acted upon only by attractive nuclear whereas the proton was also acted upon by repulsive ELECTRIC forces that decrease its binding energy.

there are no mobile charges
equal number of HOLES and electrons exist, MAKING the region neutral.
recombination of holes and electrons has taken place.
immobile charged ions exist.

Solution :Inside the depletionlayer, on one side of junction, there are positive ions and on the other side of it, there are NEGATIVE ions. These ions are bonded in the crystalline structureand HENCE can not move. THUS, option (A) is correct.
Inside a depletion layer, as many electrons are freed by breaking of covalent bonds, that many holes are produced. Hencedepletion layer is electrically neutral. Hence option (B) is also correct.
Inside a depletion layer, there are positive and negative ions at fixed locations in the crystalline structure. Thus, option (D) is also correct.

Can the instantaneous power output of an ac source ever be negative ? Can the average power output be negative ?

Answer»

Solution :Let the applied EMF,
`E=E_m sin OMEGAT` and current DEVELOPED is,
`I=I_m sin (omegatpmphi)` (Here E is taken INSTEAD of V)
Instantaneous power output of the AC source,
P=EI
`=E_m sin omegat xx I_m sin (omegat + phi)`
`=(E_m I_m)/2 [2 sin omegat sin (omegat+phi)]`
`=(E_m I_m)/2 [cos phi - cos (2omegat+phi)]` .....(1)
[`because` 2sinAsinB=cos(A-B) -cos(A+B)]
(i) from equation (1),
If cos `phi lt cos (2omegat+phi)`, then
P `lt` 0 mean negative power
`therefore` Yes, the instantaneous power output of an AC source can be negative .
`therefore` Average power `lt P gt =V_m/sqrt2 I_m/sqrt2 cos phi`
`lt P gt =V_"rms" I_"rms" cos phi`...(2)
where `phi` is phase difference .
(ii) and from equation (2) `lt P gt gt 0`
because cos`phi=R/Z gt 0`
No, the average power output of an AC source cannot be negative .

Answer»


Solution :As the particle enters the region of MAGNETIC field, it moves in a circular path of radius `R=(mv)/(qB)=1 m` whose CENTRE is at `O`.and `omega=(qB)/m=1 rad//SEC`.
we assumed `d` to be sufficiently large so that the particle emerges out of region of magnetic field at `Q` figure `-(a)`.
`therefore x=R-R COS 60^(@) =0.5 gt d`
`therefore` The charge will CROSS the field and emerge from the right side.
`therefore` The trajectory of the particle in the region of magnetic field is as shownin figure `-b`
In the figure (b)`PQ` is the chord and `OC` is `_|_` bisector of line `PQ`.`Q` is the point from where the particle emerges out.We can see from the geometry that `/_APQ=phi+theta/2`
`PQ=d sec (phi +theta/2)=2R sin theta/2`

Figure. Illustrates logarithmic electric conductance as a function on reciprocal temperature ( T in KK units) for some n type semiconductor. Using this plot, find the width of the forbiden band of the semiconductor and the activation energy of donor levels.

Answer»

Solution :At high temperatures (small values of `T^(-1))` most of the conductivity is infrinsic i.e, it is DUE to the transition of electrons from the upper LEVELS of the valance band into the lower levels of conduction vands.
For this we can apply approximately the formula
`sigma= sigma_(0) exp(-(E_(g))/(2kT))`
or In `sigma= In sigma_(0)-(E_(g))/(2kt)`
From this we get the band gap
`E_(g)= -2k(Delta In sigma)/(Delta(1//T))`
The SLOPE must be calculated at small `(1)/(T)`. Evaluation gives `-(Delta In sigma)/(Delta((1)/(T)))= 7000K`
Hence `E_(g)= 1.21 eV`
At low TEMPERATURE (high values of `(1)/(T))` the conductance is mostly due to impurities. If `E_(0)` is the ionization energy of donor levels then we can write the approximate formula (valid at low temperature)
`sigma'= sigma'_(0) exp(-(E_(0))/(2kT))`
So `E_(0)= 02kT (Delta In sigma')/(Delta((1)/(T)))`
The slope must be calculated at low temperatures. Evaluation gives the slope
`-(Delta In sigma')/(Delta ((1)/(T)))=(1)/(3)xx1000 K`
Then `E_(0)~ 0.057eV`

Explain amplitude modulation .

Answer»

Solution :Amplitude modulation : In amplitude modulation , the amplitude of carrier wave VARIES , but frequency and phase remains constant .
Here we can explain AM using a sinusoidal signal as a modulating signal .
Let C(t) = `A_(c) sin omega_(c)t ` t represent carrier wave
`m(t) = A_(m) sin omega_(m) t` represent modulating signal .
The modulating `C_(m)` (t) can be written as
`C_(m) (t) = (A_(c) + A_(m) sin omega_(m) t) sin omega_(C) t`
`C_(m) (t) = A_(c) (1 + (A_(m))/(A_(c)) sin omega_(m)t) sin omega_(c) t "" ...(1)`
Where `omega_(m) = 2 pi f_(m)` is the angular frequency of message signal .
Note that the MODULATED signal now contains the message signal .
`C_(m) (t) = A_(c) sin omega_(c) t + mu A_(c) sin omega_(m) t sin omega_(c) t "" ... (2)`
Where `mu = (A_(m))/(A_(c)) = ` Modulation index .
To avoid DISTORTION KEEP `mu le 1`
`C_(m) (t) = A_(c) sin omega_(c) t + (muA_(c))/(2) "" cos(omega_(c) + omega_(m)) t - (muA_(c))/(2) ""cos (omega_(c) + omega_(m)) t "" ... (3)`
Here `(omega_(c) - omega_(m))` and `(omega_(c) + omega_(m))` are lower side and upper side frequencies .
As long as broadcast frequencies (carrier wave) are sufficiently spaced out the side bands donot over lap .

Pointing vectors vec(S) is defined as a vector whose magnitude is equal to the wave intensity and whose direction is along the direction of wave propagation. Mathematically, it is given by vec(S)=(1)/(mu_(0))(vec(E )xx vec(B)). Show the nature of vec(S) vs graph.

Answer»

Solution :In electromagnetic wave let `vec(E )` is in y - direction `vec(B)` is in z - direction and electromagnetic wave propagate in X - direction energy propagating will be in direction of `vec(E )xx vec(B)` (in x - direction).
`vec(E )=E_(0)SIN(OMEGA t-kx)HAT(j)`
`vec(B)=B_(0)sin(omega t-kx)hat(k)`
`therefore vec(S)=(1)/(mu_(0))(vec(E )xx vec(B))=(1)/(mu_(0))E_(0)B_(0)sin^(2)(omega t-kx)(hat(j)xx hat(k))`
`therefore vec(S)=(E_(0)B_(0))/(mu_(0))sin^(2)(omega t-kx)hat(i)[because hat(j)xx hat(k)=hat(i)]`
Variation in magnitude of `|vec(S)|` with time is shown in figure shown below.

At t=0, a force F=at^(2) is applied to a small body of mass m at an angle alpha resting on a smooth horizontal plane

Answer»

velocity of the body at the moment it brakes off the plane is `sqrt((mg^(3))/(9a tan^(2)alphasinalpha))`
the distance travelled by the body before breaking off the plane is `(mg^(2))/(12a sinalphatanalpha)`
Its acceleration at the time of breaking off the plane is `g cot ALPHA`.
Time at which it breaks off the plane is `sqrt((mg)/(asinalpha))`.

Solution :For breaking off the plane
`F sin alpha=mg`
`rArrat_(0)^(2)sinalpha=mg`
`RARR t_(0)=sqrt((mg)/(asinalpha))`
SPEED at time of breaking off
`v=int_(0)^(t_(0))(at^(2)COSALPHA)/(m)dt=(at_(0)^(2)cosalpha)/(3m)`
`=(acosalpha)/(3m)*(mg)/(asinalpha)sqrt((mg)/(asinalpha))`
`=sqrt((mg^(3))/(9atan^(2)alphasinalpha))`
`a=(Fcosalpha)/(m)=(at_(0)^(2)cosalpha)/(m)=(AMG)/(asinalpha)*(cosalpha)/(m)`
`=gcotalpha`
`s=intvdt=int_(0)^(t_(0))(at^(3))/(3m)cosalphadt`
`=(a)/(12m)t_(0)^(4)=(a)/(12m)*(m^(2)g^(2)cosalpha)/(a^(2)sin^(2)alpha)`
`=(mg^(2))/(12a tanalphasinalpha)`
