Calculate the energy equivalent to one atomic mass unit ( 1 a.m.u.) in M eV. |
|
Answer» As we know, 1 GRAM atom of an element contains `6.023xx10^(23)` atom (Avogado.s number). Thus `6.023xx10^(23)` ATOMS of carbon weigh `=12g` 1 atom of carbon weigh `=(12xx10^(-3))/(6.023xx10^(23))`kg Hence `1 amu=1/12 xx (12xx10^(-3))/(6.023xx10^(23))kg` `=1.66xx10^(-27)kg`. Relation between amu and Me V (or Energy equivalence of 1 amu.) From Einstein.s mass energy relation, we have `E=m_(0)c^(2)` where E is the energy EQUIVALENT of rest mass `m_(0)` and c is the velocity of LIGHT. Thus, `E=1.66xx10^(-27)xx(3xx10^(8))^(2)J` `=(1.66xx9xx10^(-11))/(1.6xx10^(-19))` eV `=931.5 xx 10^(6) eV=931.5 ` M eV`( :. 1 eV = 1.6xx10^(-19)J)` `~=931` M eV. |

A source of a.c. voltage V = V_(m) sin omega tis connected to a series combination of a capacitor C and a resistor R. Draw the phasor diagram and use it to obtain the expression for (i) impedance of the circuit, and (ii) phase angle. |
Answer» Solution :Consider an alternating voltage given by `V=V_(m) sin omega t`applied to a capacitor C and resistor R joined in SERIES as SHOWN in Fig. 7.28. As C and R are in series, same current I flows in the entire circuit. Let `vecV_(C), vecV_(R)` and `vecV`be the magnitudes of instantaneous values of voltage across the capacitance, resistance and the source. Then, as shown in phasor diagram: `vecV_(C) = VECI.X_(C)` lagging behind in phaseby `pi/2` as compared to `vecl`, and `vecV_(R) = vecI R` in same phase as that of `vecl` These are being represented by phasors OB and OA, RESPECTIVELY. Then, total instantaneous voltage V is given by phasor OC such that: `V = sqrt(OA^(2) + OB^(2)) = sqrt(V_(R)^(2) + V_(C)^(2)) = Isqrt(R^(2) + X_(C)^(2))` `therefore` Impedance offered by the circuit, `Z = V/I = sqrt(R^(2) + X_(L)^(2)) = sqrt(R^(2) + (1/(Comega)^(2))` Moreover, the phasor diagram indicates that source voltage `vecV`lags behind the current I (or the circuit current leads the a.c. supply voltage) by a phase angle `phi`where, `tan phi = (OB)/(OA) = (IX_(C))/(IR) = X_(C)/R = (1//Comega)/R = 1/(R. Comega)`
