For a conductor, the given Ogure shows the graph of V rarrI for different temperatures then ..... .

Answer»

`T_(1) lt T_(2) lt T_(3)`
`T_(1) = T_(2) = T_(3)`
`T_(1) GT T_(2) gt T_(3)`

Singly charged ions He^(+)are accelerated in a cyclotron so that theirmaximumorbitalradiysis r = 60 cm. The frequencyof a cyclotron'soscillator is equal to v = 10.0 MHz, theeffectiveaccelearatingvolatageacross the deos is V = 50 kV. Neglectingthe gap between the does, find: (a) the total timeof acceleration of the ion, (b) the appoximatedistancecovered by the ion in theprocess of its acceleration.

Answer»

Solution :(a) The total time of acceleration is,
`t = (1)/(2v).n`,
where `n` is the number of passage of theDoes.
But, `T = "neV" = (B^(2) e^(2) r^(2))/(2m)`
or, `n = (B^(2) e r^(2))/(2 mV)`
So, `t = (pi)/(eB//m) xx (B^(2) er^(2))/(2 mV) = (pi B r^(2))/(2V) = (pi^(2) mv r^(2))/(eV) = 30 MU s`
(b) The distance covered is, `s = sum v_(n). (1)/(2v)`
But, `v_(n) = SQRT((2eV)/(m)) sqrt(n)`
So, `s = sqrt((eV)/(2MV^(2))) sum sqrt(n) = sqrt((eV)/(2 mv^(2))) f sqrt(n) dn = sqrt((eV)/(2mv^(2))) (2)/(3) n^(3//2)`
But, `n = (B^(2) e^(2) r^(2))/(2 eV m) = (2 pi^(2) m V^(2) r^(2))/(eV)`
THUS, `s = (4pi^(3)n v^(2) mr^(2))/(3eV) = 1.24 km`

Two simple pendulum of lengths 16I and I are in phase at the mean position at a certain time.IF T is the time period of shorter pendulum. The maximum time after which they will be again in phase.

Answer»

`1/3T`
`2/3T`
`3/2T`
`4/3T`

Solution :`T=2pisqrt(L//g`
`Talpha sqrt(l)`
The PENDULUM having time period makes one oscillation LESS than the other.
`(T_1-1)/(T_1)=sqrt(l)/(16l)=1/4`
`implies (T_1-1)/(T_1)=1/4`
`implies1-(1)/T_1=1/4`
`T=4//4`
Theywill be again in PHASE after`4/3T`,

An alternating current in a circuit is given by I=20sin(100 pi t+0.05 pi) A. The r.m.s value and the frequency of current respectively are

Answer»

10 A and 100 Hz
10 A and 50 Hz
`10sqrt(2)` and 50 Hz
`10sqrt(2)A` and 100 Hz

SOLUTION :Given, `I=20 sin (100 pi t + 0.05 pi)`
COMPARING with STANDARD EQUATION, we get
`I_(0)=20`and `omega = 100 pi`
`therefore I_(rms)=(I_(0))/(SQRT(2))=(20)/(sqrt(2))=10 sqrt(2)`
Now, `omega = 100pi` or `2pi upsilon = 100 pi`
or `upsilon = 50 Hz`.

If 10^9 electrons move out of a body to another body every second, how much time is required to get a total charge of 1 C on the other body?

Answer»

Solution :In one SECOND `10^9`electrons move out of the body. The charge given out in one second is `1.6 xx 10^(-19) xx 10^(9)C = 10^(-10) C`.
The time required to accumulate a charge of 1 C can then be estimated to be
`t = 1 C div (1.6 xx 10^(-10) C//s) = 6.25 xx 10^(9)s`
`= 6.25 xx 10^9 div (365 xx 24 xx 3600) ` YEARS = 198 years.
