(ii) Magnetic field at point `P`, on the axis of coil at distance `x` from centre
`B_(P)=(mu_(0)NIR^(2))/(2(R^(2)+x^(2))^(3//2))=(mu_(0)NiR^(2))/(2{R^(2)+(sqrt(3)R)^(2)}^(3//2))`
`=(mu_(0)NiR^(2))/(2(4R^(2))^(3//2))=(mu_(0)NiR^(2))/(2xx2sqrt(2)R^(3))=(mu_(0)Ni)/(4sqrt(2)R)`
(b)
At `O:`
`B_(1)=(mu_(0)(2I))/(2R)=(mu_(0)i)/R, o.`
`B_(2)=(mu_(0)i)/(2(2R))=(mu_(0)i)/(4R), ox`
`B_(O)=B_(1)-B_(2)=(2mu_(0)i)/(4R), o.`
(c) If planes of COILS are `bot^(ar)`, `B_(1)` and `B_(2)` will be `bot^(ar)`

If we use n thin rods of length l as described in previous example, as spokes for a wheel to rotate with same angular velocity omega perpendicular to magnetic field B same as in previous example. If r is the electrical resistance of each spoke and then this system is used to drive current in one external resistor R by connecting it between centre and the rim. Find the amount of current flowing through R.

Answer»

Solution :All spokes are CONNECTED in parallel to each other and hence, net emf for external resistance R will remain same as that got induced between two ends of the ROD.
`E=(1)/(2)Bomegal^(2)`
Number of spokes is immaterial as FAR as equivalent emf is concerned, but each spoke has resistance r which will act as internal resistance in a cell. Hence number of spokes will finally AFFECT the amount of current passing through the external resistance R.
Equivalent internal resistance of this system to act as battery can be written as `r // n`. Magnitude of electric current passing through the resistor can be written as follows:
`i=(E)/(R+(r)/(n))`
`implies i=((1)/(2)Bomegal^(2))/(R+(r)/(n))`

A particle is projected vertically upwards with a velocity sqrt(gR), where R denotes the radius of the earth and g the acceleration due to gravity on the surface of the earth. Then the maximum height ascended by the particle is

Answer»

`R_(e )`
`2R_(e )`
`(R_(e ))/(2)`
None of these

Solution :The projected speed is less than escape speed `V_(e)=sqrt(2gR_(e))`. The BODY will not reach infinity.
At maximum height the KINETIC energy becomes ZERO.
Using conservation of energy,
`(mV^(2))/(2)-(GM_(e)m)/(R_(e))=-(GM_(e)m)/(r)`
`IMPLIES (mgR_(e))/(2)-(GM_(e)m)/(R_(e))=-(GM_(e)m)/(r)(GM_(e)=gR_(e)^(2))`
`implies(mgR_(e))/(2)-mgR_(e)=-(gR_(e)^(2)m)/(r)implies(mgR_(e))/(2)=(gR_(e)^(2)m)/(r)`
`implies r=2R_(e)(r=R_(e)+h) therefore` The height attained = `R_(e)`

Explain the meaning of the statement ' electric charge of a body is quantised' Why can one ignore quantisation of electric charge when dealing with macroscopici.e., large scale charges ?

Answer»

Solution :The statement . electric charge of a body is quantised, means that the charge on the body must be an integer MULTIPLE of some elementary charge. Experimentallythis elementarycharge is found to be equal to the charge on an electron or a proton and its VALUE is `e= 1.602 XX 10 ^(-19)C .` Thus according to quantisation concept charges on a body ` q= +- NE ,` where n = 0,1,2,3, ....
Aselementaryunit of charges e has a value ` 1. 60 xx 10 ^(-19)C,` hence for macroscopic charges of the order of micro coulomb `(1 mu C = 6.25 xx 10 ^(12)` times the value of an ELECTRONIC charge)or more we can ignore the quantisation of charges and may consider charge as a continuous charges.

In a Geiger Marsden experiment, calculate the distance of closest approach to the nucleus of Z 80, when and particle of 8 MeV energy impinges on it before it comes momentarily to rest and reverses its direction.How will the distance of closest approach be affected when the kinetic energy of the O-particle is doubled ?

Answer»

Solution :As per question Z = 80, energy of alpha-particle`K = 8MeV = 8 xx 1.6 xx 10^(-13) J`.
At distance of CLOSEST approach `(r_(0))` the original KINETIC energy of alpha-particle is completely converted into potential energy i.e.,
`K= (1)/(4pi in_(0)) = ((Ze)(2e))/(r_(0)) =(2Ze^(2))/(4 pi in_(0) r_(0))`
` rArr ""r_(0) = (2Ze^(2))/(4 pi in_(0) K)= ( 2 xx80 xx (1.6 xx 10^(-19))^(2) xx 9 xx 10^(9))/(8xx1.6 xx 10^(-13)) = 2.9 xx 10^(-14) m`
If kinetic energyof thealpha - particles bedoubled ( i.e.,K = 2k) thenas peraboverelationdistanceof closet approch will become one half of its previousvalue(i.e.,`r_(0)= (1)/(2) r_(0)`) provided that `r_(0)`is still greater than the nuclear radius.

Now `Y=[M^(1)L^(-1)T^(-2)]`
`i.e.a=1,b=-1,c=-2`
`n_(1)=2xx10^(11)N-m^(-2)`
Then `n_(2)=2xx10^(11)[(1kg)/(1g)][(1m)/(1CM)]^(-1)xx[(1SEC)/(1sec)]^(-2)`
`2xx10^(11)[(1000)/(1)][(100)/(1)]^(-1)xx[1]^(-2)`

A parallel plate capacitor filled with mica having epsilon_(r) = 5 is connected to a 10Vbattery . The area of the parallel plate is 6 m^(2) and separation distance is 6 mm. (a) Find the capacitance and stored charge . (b) After the capacitor is fully charged the battery is disconnected and the dielectric is removed carefully . Calculated the new values of capacitance stored energy and charge.

Answer»

Solution :The capacitance of the capacitor in the presence of dielectric is
`C =(epsilon_(R)epsilon_(0)A)/(d)=(5xx8.85xx10^(-12)xx6)/(6xx10^(-3))`
`=44.25xx10^(-9)F=44.25nF`
The stored charge is Q=CV= `44.25xx10^(-9)xx10==44.2nC`
The stored energy is `U=(1)/(2)CV^(2)=(1)/(2) xx44.25xx10^(-9)xx100=2.21xx10^(-6)J=2.21muJ`
(b) After the removal of the dielectric since the battery is already disconnected the total charge will not change . But the potential difference between the the plates increases . As a result the capacitance is decreased .
NEW capacitance is `C_(0)=(C )/(epsilon_(r))=(44.25xx10^(-9))/(5)=8.85xx10^(-9)F=8.85nF`
The stored charge remains same and 442.5 nC. Hence newly stored energy is
`U_(0)=(Q^(2))/(2C_(0))=(Q^(2)epsilon_(r))/(2C) = epsilon_(r)U`
`=5xx2.21 muJ= 11.05 mu J`
The increased energy is `DeltaU=11.05 muJ-2.21 muJ=8.84muJ`
When the dielectric is removed it experience an inward pulling force due to the plates . To remove the dielectric an external AGENCY has to do work on the dielectric which is stored as additional energy . This is the SOURCE for the extra energy `8.84 mu J`

Describe the microscopic model of current and obtain general from of Ohm's law.

Answer»

Solution :
Microscopic model of current: Consider a conductor with area of cross-section A and an electric field `vecE` applied from right to left. Suppose there are n electrons PER unit volume in the conductor and assume that all the electrons move with the same drift velocity `vecv_(d)`.
The drift velocity of the electrons `=v_(d)`
The electrons move through a DISTANCE dx within a small interval of dt
`v_(d)=(dx)/(dt), dx=v_(d)dt ""... (1)`
SINCE A is the area of cross section of the conductor, the electrons AVAILABLE in the volume or length dx is
= volume `xx` number per unit volume
`=adx xx n "" ...(2)`
Substituting for dx from equation (1) in (2)
`=(A v_(d)dt)n`
Total charge in volume element `dQ=` (charge) `xx` (number of electrons in the volume element)
`dQ=(e ) (A v_(d)dt)n`
Hence the current, `I=(dQ)/(dt)=(n eAv_(d)dt)/(dt)`
`I=n eAv_(d)"" ...(3)`
Current density (J): The current density (J) is defined as the current per unit area of cross section of the conductor
`J=(1)/(A)`
The S.I. unit of current density, `(A)/(m^(2))(or) Am^(-2)`
`J=(n eAv_(d))/(A)` (from equation 3)
`J=n ev_(d)"" ...(4)`
the above expression is valid only when the direction of the current is perpendicular to the area A. In general, the current density is a vector quantity and it is given by
`vecJ= n e vecv_(d)`
Substituting `vecv_(d)` from equation `vecv_(d)=(-e tau)/(m) vecE `
`vecJ= -(n.e^(2)tau)/(m)vecE "" ...(5)`
`vecJ= -sigma vecE`
But conventionally, we take the direction of (CONVENTIONAL) current density as the direction of electric field. So the above equation becomes
`vecJ=sigma vecE`
where `sigma (n e^(2)tau)/(m)` is called conductivity.
The equation 6 is called microscopic form of ohm.s law.

The direction of thebeam propagations make angles theta_(1) and theta_(2) with the normal to the screen and lie in the same plane as shown in the figure. Find the distance beta between adject interfrence fringes on the screen.

Answer»

`(lambda)/(sin theta-sin theta_(2))`
`(lambda)/(sin theta_(1)+sin theta_(2))`
`(lambda(sin theta_(1)-sin theta_(2)))/(sin theta_(1)+sin theta_(2))`
`(lambda(sin theta_(1)+sin theta_(2)))/(sin theta_(1)-sin theta_(2))`

Solution :Let P be the central BRIGHT fringe

Path difference between A 'P' and B'P' is
`DELTA X =y sin theta_(1) - y sin theta_(2)`
`Delta x = y(sin theta_(1) - sin theta_(2))`
For bright fringes `Delta x =N lambda`
`n lambda = y (sin theta_(1) - sin theta_(2))`
`y = (n lambda)/(sin theta_(1) - sin theta_(2))`
`:. beta = (lambda)/(sin theta_(1)-sin theta_(2))`

What is linear expansion of light ? Explain ray of light and beam of light.

Answer»

Solution :The WAVELENGTH of light is very small compared to the size of ordinary objects. Light can travel from one point to ANOTHER, ALONG a STRAIGHT line joining them.
The path is called a ray of light and a BUNDLE of such rays constitutes a beam of light.

where will the new null points be located if the bar magnet in the previous example is rotated through180^(@) ?

Answer»

Solution :The new null point will be located on the perpendicular Magnetic field at a distance`r_(ax)`on the axs ,
`B_(H)=(mu_(0))/(4pi).(2p_(m))/(r_(ax)^(3))`
Magnetic field at a distance`r_(EQ)`on the perpendicular bisector of the axis .
`B_(H)=(mu_(0))/(4pi).(p_(m))/(r_(eq)^(3))`
`therefore(mu_(0))/(4pi).(2p_(m))/(r_(ax)^(3))=(mu_(0))/(4pi).(p_(m))/(r_(eq)^(3))`
`[therefore` at null point both the fields are EQUAL ]
`therefore "" r_(eq)=(r_(ax))/(root(3)(2))=(14)/(root(3)(2))=11.1 "cm"`
