Show, that it is impossible to explain the nature of ferromagnetism on the basis of the interaction of magnetic dipoles.

Answer»

<P>

Solution :Since the CURIC point of ferromagnetic naterials is of the order of hundreds of degrees Celsius, the energy of thermal motion is
`vecepsi approx kT ....38 xx 10^(-23) xx 400 approx 5 xx 10^(-21)J`
The energy of interaction of two magnetic moments is `epsi_(m)=p_(m) B =2mu_(0)v_(m)^2//4pir^3`. Putting `r approx 1A, p_(m)` we obtain
`epsi_(m) approx (4pi xx 9.28^2 xx 10^(48))/(2pi xx 10^(7) xx 10^(-20)) approx 2 xx 10^(-23) J`
We SEE that the intoraction energy of magnetic moments is by two orders of magnitude smaller than the energy of thermal motion, therefore inagnetic interaction is INCAPABLE of causing SPONTANEOUS magnetization inside a domain.

What is a Zener diode ? Explain how it is used as a voltage regulator .

Answer»

Solution :Zener diode `:` Zener diode is a heavily doped germanium (or) silicon p-n JUNCTION diode. It words on reverse bias break down region.
The circuit symbol of zener diode is shown in figure.

Zener diode can be used as a voltage regulator. In generalzener diodeis connected in reverse bias in the circuits.

(i) The Zener diode is connected to a battery,through a resistance R.The battery reverse BIASES the zener diode.
(ii) The load resistance `R_(L)` is connected across the terminals of the zener diode.
(iii) The value of R is selected in such away that in the absenceof load `R_(L)` maximum safe current flows in the diode.
(iv) Now consider that load is connected across the diode. The load draws a current.
(v) Thecurrent through the diode falls by the same amount but the voltage drops across the load remains constant.
(vi) The series resistance 'R' absorbs the output voltage fluctuations, so as to maintain constant voltage across the load.
(vii) The voltage across the zener diode remains constant even if the load `R_(L)` varies. Thus, zener diodeworkds as voltage regulator.
(viii) If I is the INPUT current,`I_(Z)` and `I_(L)` are zener and load currents.
`I= I_(Z) + I_(L), V_( i n) + IR +V_(Z)`
But `V_(out) = V_(Z)`

Draw a ray diagram for a convex mirror showing the image formation of an object placed anywhere in front of the mirror. Use this ray diagram to obtain the expression for its linear magnification.

Answer»

Solution :A ray diagram showing the image formation by a convex mirror of an object AB PLACED in front of it is given in Fig. 9.35. The image is virtual, erect and DIMINISHED in size. Consider `DeltaABP` and `DeltaA.B.P.`. Obviously, the two TRIANGLES are similar triangles. Hence, we have

`(A.B.)/(AB) = (PB.)/(PB)`
Following the SIGN convention used, `PB =-u, PB. = +v`,
`AB = +H` and `A.B. = +h.`. Thus, we have

A thin wire ring of radius "r" carries a charge q. Find the magnitude of the electric field strength on the axis of the ring as a function of distance L from the centre. Find the same for L gtgt r. Find maximum field strength and the corresponding distance L.

Answer»

Solution :Due to a ring ELECTRIC FIELD strength at a distance "L" from its centre on it can be given as
`E = (qL)/(4 PI epsilon_0(L^2 + r^2)^(3//2)) to (1)`
For `L gtgt r` we have `E = 1/(4 pi epsilon_0) q/(L^2)`
Thus the ring behaves like a point charge.
For `F_("Max") , (dE)/(dL) = 0` , From equation (1) we get
`(dE)/(dL) = q/(4 pi epsilon_0) [((r^2 + L^2)^(3//2) - 3/2(r^2 + L^2)^(1//2) . 2L^2)/((r^2 + L^2)^3)] = 0`
`(r^2 + L^2)^(3//2) = 3/2 (r^2 + L^2)^(1//2) xx 2L^2`
On SOLVING we get `L = r/(sqrt2) to (2)`
Substituting the value of "L" in equation (1) we get
`E = 1/(4 pi epsilon_0) xx (q(r//sqrt(2)))/((r^2 + r^2//2)^(3//2)) = q/(6sqrt(3) pi epsilon_0 r^2)`

The graphs in (i) and (ii) show the S-t graph and V -t graph of a body. Are the motions shown in the graphs represented by OAB the same ?

Answer»

Solution :The motion shown by the two graphs are not same.
(i) In the given s-t graph OA, is a uniform retardation motion.
Here, DISPLACEMENT =(average velocity) x (time)
`therefore 10=((u+0)/2)xx4`
`therefore u=5 MS^(-1)`
using `v^2-u^2=2as`
`0-5^2=2a(10)`
`a=-1.25 ms^(-2)`
(ii)In the given V-t graph
OA is a uniform retardation of motion
a =slope of the line -`(OA)/(OB)=(-4ms^(-1))/(4s)=-1ms^(-2)`
Thus the two graphs even though represent uniform retardation MOTIONS, the magnitudes are not equal.

SOLUTION :Here `vecPA||vecPB`,hence `P_(C)=p_(A)+p_(B)`….(1)
There are four possiblities:
(i)`p_(B)gt0,p_(A)ggt0` both are positive .
`THEREFORE (h)/(lambda_(c))=(h)/(lambda_(A))+(h)/(lambda_(B))IMPLIES(1)/(lambdaC)=(1)/(lambdaA)+(1)/(lambda_(B))`
`therefore lambda_(C )=(lambda_(A)lambda_(B))/(lambda_(A)lambda_(B))`
(ii)`p_(A)lt0,p_(B)lt0` both are negative.
`therefore (h)/(lambdac)=(-h)/((lambda_(A)))+(-h)/(lambda_(B))`
`therefore lamba_(C)=-((lambda_(A)lambda_(B))/(lambda_(A)+lambda_(B)))`
(iii)`p_(A)gt0,p_(B)lt0p_(A)` ispositive and `p_(B)` is negative
`therefore (h)/(lambda_(C))=(h)/(lambda_(A))-(h)/(lambda_(B))implies(1)/(lambda_(C))=(1)/(lambda_(A))-(1)/(lambda_(B))`
`therefore lambda_(C)=(lambda_(A)lambda_(B))/(lambda_(B)-lambda_(A))`
(iv)`p_(A)lt0,p_(B)gt0p_(A)` is positive and `p_(B)` is negative
`(h)/(lambda_(C))=(-h)/(lambda_(A))+(h)/(lambda_(B))implies(1)/(lambda_(C))=(1)/(lambda_(B))=(1)/(lambda_(A))`
`therefore lambda_(C)=(lambda_(A)lambda_(B))/(lambda_(A)-lambda_(B))`

In a meter bridge the point Dis a neutral point as shown in figure.

Answer»

The meter bridge can have no other neutral point for this set of RESISTANCES.
When the JOCKEY contacts a point on meter wire left of D, current flows to B from the wire.
When the jockey contacts a point on the meter wire to the right of D, current flows from B to the wire through galvanometer.
When R is increased, the neutral point SHIFTS to left.

Solution :(A, C)
In balanced condition of bridge potential at point 8 and null point (D) will be equal. When jokey key is right of point D then VOLTAGE drop in AB wlll be more than voltage drop in AD. Hence, current will fl.ow from B to D.

The figure shows a network of five capacitors connectedto a 100 V supply, Calculate the total energy stored in the network.

Answer»

Solution :The network of capacitors can be redrawn as shown here. Obviously CAPACITOR `C_3 of 2 muF` is short circuited and is useless.
Capacitance `C_12` of PARALLEL grouping of `C_4 and C_2` is
`C_12 = C_1+ C_2=3 + 3 = 6 muF`
Capacitance `C_45` of parallel grouping `C_4 and C_5` is
`C_(45) = C_4+ C_5 = 3 + 3 = 6 muF`
In the network `C_12 and C_45` are in series. So the net capacitance of the ARRANGEMENT
`C = (C_12 xx C45)/((C_12 + C45)) = (6 xx3)/((6 xx 3)) = muF = 2muF`
`:.` TOTAL energy stored int he network
`u =1/2 CV^2 =1/2xx(2muF) xx(100V)^2`
`=1/2 xx 2 xx 10^(-6) xx(100)^2 = 10^(-2) J = 0.01J`

A metallic rod of length 'l' is rotated with a frequency v with one end hinged at the centre and the other end at the circumference of a circular metallic ring of radius r, about an axis passing through the centre and perpendicular to the plane of the ring. A constant uniform magnetic field B parallel to the axis is present every where. Using Lorentz force, explain how emf is induced between the centre and the metallic ring and hence obtain the expression for it.

Answer»

Solution :We know that a conductor has free charges. If a conductor of LENGTH .I. is moving perpendicular to a uniform magnetic field `vecB` with a velocity `vecv` perpendicular to its length too, then a Lorentz force `vecF` acts on each free charge, where
`|vecF| = q vB`
Due to this force free charges move along the length of conductor from one end to the other end and exact direction is given by Fleming.s left HAND rule. As a result of this motion of charge, a potential difference is set up between the two ends of conductor. The potential difference developed (i.e., the induced emf) is given by
`|varepsilon| = (FI)/q = (qvBl)/q=vBl`
Now, consider a conductor rod of length .l. hinged at one end Mand rotating about a NORMAL axis passing through Mwith a frequency v, then for a small element of rod of thickness .de. SITUATED at a distance .x. from the hinged end, the induced emf is
`dvarepsilon = Bv DX = B (xomega)dx = B (x.2piv) dx = 2pivB xdx`
`therefore` Total induced emf
`varepsilon =2pivB int_(0)^(1) xdx = 2pivB. [l^(2)/2] = pivBl^(2)`

100 mg mass of nichrome metal is drawn into a wire of area of cross-section 0.05 mm. Calculate the resistance of this wire. Given density of nichrome 8.4 xx 10^3 "kgm"^(-3)and resistivity of the material as 1.2 xx 10^(-6) Omegam.

Answer»

Solution :Given mass = 100 mg =`10^2xx10^(-6)=10^(-4)` kg
area of CROSS section A = `5xx10^(-2) xx (10^(-3))^2m^2`
i.e.,`A=5xx10^(-8)m^2`. DENSITY`D=8.4xx10^3 kgm^(-3), rho=1.2xx10^(-6) Omegam` but
density = `"mass"/"volume"`
i.e. volume = `"mass"/"density"=10^(-4)/(8.4xx10^3)`
`=(0.119xx10^(-7))/(5xx10^*(-8))=0.0238xx10`
i.e. length= 0.238 m
We know that , `R=(rhol)/A =(1.2xx10^(-6)xx0.238)/(5xx10^(-8))`
=0.05712 x 100
or R=5.712 `Omega`
Resistanceof the wire = `5.712Omega`.
