There is an infinite straight chain of alternating charges q and -q. The distance between neighbouring charges is equalto d. Find the interaction energy of each chargewith all the other charges.

Answer»

Solution :The interaction energy of CHARGE at C due to charges on one SIDE (right or left) is
`U=(1)/(4pi in_(0)) {(q(-q))/(a)+(q(q))/(2a)+(q(-q))/(3a)+(q(q))/(4A) +…..oo}`

Answer»

15 cm
25 cm
37.5 cm
`-37.5 cm`

Solution :`m=v/u`
`therefore 3=v/u`
`therefore 3=v/u`
`therefore v=3u`
Now u+v=100
`therefore u+3u=100`
`therefore 4u=100`
`therefore u=25 cm`
`therefore` Now m=`(F)/(f-u)`
`3=(f)/(f-(-25))`
`therefore3 =(f)/(f+25)`
therefore 35 -75 =f`
`therefore 2F =-75`
`therefore f=-37.5` cm

A transformer on a utility pole operates at V_p=8.5 kV on the primary side and supplies electrical energy to a number of nearby houses at V_s=120V , both quantities being rms values. Assume an ideal step-down transformer, a purely resistive load , and a power factor of unity. (a) What is the turns ratio N_p//N_s of the transformer ?

Answer»

Solution :The turns ratio `N_p//N_s` is related to the rms primary and secondary voltages `(V_s=V_p N_s//N_p)`.
Calculation : We can write as
`V_S/V_p = N_S/N_p`
`N_p/N_S=V_p/V_S=(8.5xx10^3 V)/(120V)=70.83 approx71.`
(b) The average rate of energy consumption (or dissipation) in the houses served by the transformer is 78 kW. What are the rms currents in the primary and secondary of the transformer?
For a purely resistive LOAD, the power factor cos `phi` is unity, thus, the average rate at which energy is supplied and dissipated `(P_(avg)=EI=IV)`.
Calculations : In the primary circuit, with `V_p`=8.5 kV,
`I_p=P_(avg)/V_p = (78xx10^3W)/(8.5xx10^3 V)=9.176A approx 9.2 A`
SIMILARLY , in the secondary circuit,
`I_S=P_(avg)/V_S=(78xx10^3W)/(120V)`=650 A.
You can check that `I_s=I_p(N_p//N_s)` as required by Eq. 31-74.
(c) What is the resistive load `R_s` in the secondary circuit? What is the corresponding resistive load `R_p` in the pri mary circuit?
One way: We can use V= IR to RELATE the resistive load to the rms VOLTAGE and current. For the secondary circuit, we find
`R_S=V_S/I_S=(120V)/(650A)=0.1846Omega approx` 0.18 `Omega`
Similarly , for the primary circuit we find
`R_p=V_p/I_p =(8.5xx10^3 V)/(9.176A)=926 Omega approx 930 Omega`.
Second way: We use the fact that `R_p` equals the equivalent resistive load "seen” from the primary side of the transformer, which is a resistance modified by the turns ratio and given by Eq. 31-76 `(R_(eq)= (N_p//N_s)^2R)` . If we SUBSTITUTE `R_p` for `R_(eq)`and `R_s` for R , that equation yields
`R_p=(N_p/N_S)^2 R_S=(70.83)^2 (0.1846Omega)`
`=926Omega approx 930 Omega`.

Bichromatic light is used in YDSE having wavelengths, lamda_1 = 400nm and lamda_2 = 700nm. Find minimum order of lamda_1which overlaps with lamda_2

Answer»

Solution :
LET `n_1` bright FRINGE of `lamda_1` overlaps with `n_2` bright fringe of `lamda_2`
Then `(n_1 lamda_1 D)/(d) = (n_2lamda_2 D)/(d)`
`n_1/n_2 = lamda_2/lamda_1 = 700/400 = 7/4`
The ratio `n_1/n_2 = 7/4`implies that 7th bright fringe of`lamda_1`will OVERLAP with 4th of `lamda_2` . SIMILARLY 14th of `lamda_1` will over lap with 8th of `lamda_2`and so on. So the minimum order of `lamda_1` which overlaps with `lamda_2` is 7.

Derive the formula for the electric potential energy of system of three charges.

Answer»

Solution :Let charge `q_(1),q_(2)` and `q_(3)` are bring from infinity distance to at the point `P_(1), P_(2)` and `P_(3)`, located at distance `r_(1),r_(2)` and `r_(3)` respectively.
All three charges are brought as shown in FIGURE.

To bring `q_(1)` first from infinity to `P_(1)`, the work done`W_(1)=0`
because there is no external force to bring `q_(1)` to `P_(1)`
Electric potential at `P_(2)` due to charge `q_(1)`
`V_(1)= (kq_(1))/(r_(12))`
Now work done to bring charge `q_(2)` at point `P_(2)`
`W_(2)=V_(1)xxq_(2)`
`:. W_(2)=(kq_(1)q_(2))/(r_(12))`
Electric potential at Pz due to charge `q_(1) + q_(2)`
`V_(2)=(kq_(1))/(r_(13))+(kq_(2))/(r_(23))`
`:.` Work done to bring charge `q_(3)` to `P_(3)`
`W_(3)` potential at `P_(3)` due to `q_(1)+q_(2)xxq_(3)` charge
`=k[(q_(1))/(r_(13))+(q_(2))/(r_(23))]xxq_(3)`
`=k[(q_(1)q_(3))/(r_(13))+(q_(2)q_(3))/(r_(23))]`
`:.` OTAL potential energy of charges `q_(1)+q_(2)+q_(3)`
`U=W_(1)+W_(2)+W_(3)`
`[ because` Electric force is conservative and hence W U]
`:. U=k[0+(q_(1)q_(2))/(r_(12))+(q_(1)q_(3))/(r_(13))+(q_(2)q_(3))/(r_(23))]`
`:. U=k[(q_(1)q_(2))/(r_(12))+(q_(1)q_(3))/(r_(13))+(q_(2)q_(3))/(r_(23))]`
Equation (3) is true for any sign of `q_(1)` and `q_(2 )`
If `q_(1) q_(2) gt 0 ` potential energy will be positive. And if `q_(1)q_(2) lt 0`potential energy will be negative.

Solution :1. Source of electric FIELD is charge.
2. If Q charge is static, then electric field produce around it is,
`vecE=(kQ)/r^(2)*hatrorvecE=(Qhatr)/(4piepsi_(0)r^(2))`
where `hatr` is unit vector of position vector `vecrandvecE` is electric field which is vector.

`vecF=qvecE`
= `(kQq)/r^(2)hatror(Qq)/(4piepsi_(0)r^(2))*hatr`
4. It can convey energy and momentum and is not established instantaneously but takes finite time to propagate.
5. It DEPENDING on each point in space, it can also vary with time. i.e. be a function of time.
6. In this chapter, we will assume that the fields do not change with time.
7. The field at a particular point can be due to one or more charges. If there are more charges the fields add vectorially. This is called the principle of superposition.
8. The force on a test charge is given by `vecF=vecEq_(0)` where `q_(0)` is known as test charge.
9. Static charges produces an electric field and moving charges produce electric field and magnetic field in addition which is denoted by `vecB(vecr)`.
10. Magnetic field is a vector quantity and it is DEFINED at each point in space and it depend on time.
11. The magnetic field of several sources is the vector addition of magnetic field of each individual source. It obey the superposition principle.

To know the resistance of a galvanometer by half deflection method, a battery of emf V and resistance R is used to deflect the galvanometer by angle theta . If a shunt of resistance is needed to get half deflection then, G, R and S are related by the equation :

Answer»

`2S (R + G) = RG`
`S(R + G) = RG`
`2S = G`
`2G = S`

SOLUTION :Circuit diagram for the two cases is shown.

In first case Resistance R is connected in series with the galvanometer and CURRENT `(I_(g))`FLOWING through it can be written as follows:
`I_(g) = V/(R + G) ` ....(i)
In second case shunt S is connected in parallel to the galvanometer. TOTAL current (I) drawn from the battery can be written as follows:
`I = V/(R + (GS)/(G + S)) ` ....(ii)
Shunt is adjusted in such a manner that deflection in the galvanometer becomes half to that in first case. Hence `I_(g)/2` current passes through the galvanometer and`(I - I_(g)/2)`current passes through the shunt. For the same potential difference across galvanometer and shunt we can write the following equation.
` I_(g)/2 G = (I - I_(g)/2)S`
` rArr"" I_(g)/2 (G + S) = IS`
Substituting values from equation (i) and (ii) we can rewrite the above expression as follows:
`rArrV/(2(R+G))(G+S) = V/(R+(GS)/(G+S)) S`
`rArr((G + S))/(2(R + G)) = (S(G + S))/(RG + RS + GS)`
`rArrRG + RS + GS = 2RS + 2GS`
` RG = S (R + G)`
Hence option (b ) is correct.
