The electrostatic force on a small sphere of charge 0.4 muCdue to another small sphere of charge -0.8 uC in air is 0.2 N. (a) What is the distance between the two spheres ? (b) What is the force on the second sphere due to the first ? |
|
Answer» Solution :(a) Coulombian force between two point as charges is, `F = k(q_(1)q_(2))/r^(2)` `therefore -0.2= 9 xx 10^(9)xx (0.4 xx 10^(-6))(-0.8 xx 10^(-6))/r^(2)` (Here, F is attractive and so its value is taken as negative) `therefore r^(2) = (9 xx 10^(9))(4 xx 10^(-7))(8 xx 10^(-7))/(2 xx 10^(-1))` `therefore r^(2) = 144 xx 10^(-4) m^(2)` `therefore r= 12 xx 10^(-2) m = 0.12 m` (b) Here Coulombian force on second sphere due to first sphere is also 0.2 N and attractive in nature because ELECTRIC force is two body force which is always exerted mutually with equal magnitude and opposite directions. |

In a Young's double slit experiment, the separation between the two slits is d and the wavelength of the light is lambda.The intensity of light falling on slit 1 is four times the intensity of light falling on slit 2.Choose the correct choice(s). |
|
Answer» If `d = lambda`, the screen will contain only one maximum. If `lambda lt d lt 2 lambda`, then the maximum path difference will be less than `2 lambda`. So there will be two more maximum on screen in ADDITION to the central maximum. Intensity of the dark fringes becomes zero whenintensititesat the two SLITS are equal.Initial intensity atboth the slits are unequal so there will somebrightnessat dark finge.Hence when intensity of both slits is made same the intensity at dark fringe on screen will decrease to zero. The alternative (c) and (d) are not correct. |

State and explain Faraday's law of electromagnetic induction. |
|
Answer» Solution :On the basis of his EXPERIMENTAL study, Faraday gave a LAW of electromagnetic induction, which has following two parts: (i) Whenever the amount of magnetic flux linked with a circuit (or a coil) changes (either increases or DECREASES), an emf is induced in the circuit. The induced emf lasts so long as the change in magnetic flux CONTINUES. It indicates that the real cause of electromagnetic induction is the change in magnetic flux linked with a circuit with time. (ii) The magnitude of induced emf in a circuit is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the circuit. Mathematically, Induced emf `varepsilon = - (dphi_(B))/dt.` Here - ve sign has been incorporated because induced emf always opposes the change in magnetic flux. If `phi_(i)` be the initial VALUE of magnetic flux linked with a circuit and or be the final value of flux after time, then the average value of induced emf `varepsilon = -(phi_(f)-phi_(1))/t= (phi_(f)-phi_(i))/t`. |

The magnetic flux near the axis inside a current-carrying air-core solenoid is pi/3 xx 10^(-6) Wb. What is its magnetic moment if the length of the solenoid is 60 cm? [Assume the length to be large compared with the cross section of the solenoid] |
|
Answer» Solution :The magnetic INDUCTION near the AXIS, and well inside, of an air-core solenoid is `B=(Phi_(m)/A) = mu_(0)(N/L)I`, where N is the number of turns. Therefore, its magnetic moment, `M=NIA = (Phi_(m)L)/(mu_(0)) = ((pi/3 xx 10^(-6)) xx 0.6)/(4pi xx 10^(-7)) = 0.5 A-m^(2)` |

In the given circuit, the current through 2 Omega resistor is |
|
Answer» `0.45 A` Now, `R_(2),R_(5)` and R' are in parallel, So, `1/(R’’) = 1/(R_(2)) + 1/(R_(5)) + 1/(R’) = 1/1 + 1/1 + 1/2 = 5/2 rArr R’’ = 2/5 Omega` Now, `R_(7), R_(8)` and R’’ are in parallel, So `1/(R’’’) = 1/3 + 1/1 +5/2 rArr` R’’’ `6/(23) Omega` Now, `R_(1),R_(8)` and R’’’ are in series. So, EQUIVALENT resistance, `R=1 + 6/(23) + 2 = (75)/(23) Omega` `:.` Current through `2Omega` resistor is, `I = V/R = (1.2xx23)/(75) = 0.36` A |

A small resistor (say a lamp) is usually put in parallel to the current carrying coil of an electromagnet. What purpose does it serve? |
| Answer» Solution :When the current in the electromagnet is switched of the flux CHANGES from a large value to ZERO. This produces a high induced emf when the induces current passes across the switch, spark are produced. To avoid this, a SMALL RESISTANCE is CONNECTED in parallel and this provides a conducting path for the induced voltage thereby spark is avoided. | |

|
Answer» SOLUTION :Here stopping potential `V_(0)=3.3V` and threshold frequency `v_(0)=8xx10^(14)Hz` `THEREFORE` Work function `phi_(0)=(hv_(0))/(e)eV=(6.63xx10^(-34)xx8xx10^(14))/(1.6xx10^(-19))eV=3.315eV` If frequency of INCIDENT light be V, then `(hv)/(e)=[phi_(0)+V_(0)]eV` `implies v=[(phi_(0)+V_(0))/(h)]*e=((3.315xx3.3)xx1.6xx10^(-19))/(6.63xx10^(-34))=1.58xx10^(15)Hz`. |

Figure. 6.10 shows heat capacity of a crystal vs temperatue in terms of the Debye theory. Here C_(cl) is classical heat capacity Theta is the Debye temperature. Using this plot, find: (a0 The Debye temperature for silver if at a temperature T= 65K its molar heat capacity is equal to 15J (mol.K), (b) the molar heat capacity of aluminum at T= 80K if at T= 250K it is equal to 22.4J(mol.K) (c )the maximum vibration frequency for copper whose heat capacity at T= 125K differs form the classical value by 25%. |
|
Answer» Solution :(a) By Dulong and Petit's LAW, the classical heat capacity is `3R= 24.94J//K`- mol e. THUS `(C )/(C_(cl))= 0.6014` From the graph we see that this value of `(C )/(C_(cl))` corresponds to `(T)/(Theta)= 0.29` Hence `Theta=(65)/(0.29)~~ 224K` (b) `22.4J` mole - K corresponds to `(22.4)/(3xx8.314)=0.898`. From the graph this corresponds to `(T)/(Theta)~~ 0.65`. This gives `Theta= (250)/(0.65)~~ 385K` Then `80K` corresponds to `(T)/(Theta)= 0.208` The corresponding value of `(c )/(C_(cl))` is `0.42`. Hence `C= 10.5J//mol e-K` (c ) We calculate `Theta` from the datum that `(C )/(C_(cl))= 0.75 at T= 125K`. The `x`-coordinate corresponding to `0.75` is `0.40`. Hence `Theta=(125)/(0.4)= 3125K` Now `kTheta= ħ omega_(max)` So `omega_(max)= 4.09xx10^(13) rad//sec` |

The neutron is a particle with zero charge still it has a non-zero magnetic moment with z-component 9.66 xx 10^(-27) A-m^(2). This can be explained by the internal structure of the neutron. The evidence indicates that a neutron is composed of three fundamental particles calleed quarks : an "up" (u) quark, of charge + (2e)/(3), and two "down" (d) quarks, each of change - (e)/(3). The combinations of the three quarks prodcues a net charge of (2e)/(3) - e/3 - e/3 = 0. If the quarks are in motion they can produce a non-zero magnetic moment. As a very simple model, suppose the u quark moves in a counter clockwise circular path and the d quarks move in a clockwise circular path, all of the radius r and all with the same speed v see figure.
