(a) Define the term conductivity of a metallic wire. Write its SI unit.(b) Using the concept of free electrons in a conductor, derive the expression for the conductivity ofa wire in terms of number density and relaxation time. Hence obtain the relation between current density and the applied electric field E. |
Answer» Solution : On APPLYING a potential difference V across the ends of a CONDUCTOR of length l, the electric field `E = V/l` Force experienced by an electron F = e E` = (eE)/(l)`in a DIRECTION opposite to that of E. ` therefore ` Acceleration of electron in a direction opposite to that of E will be ` a= F/m = e/m. V/l` If the AVERAGE time between two successive collisions suffered by an electron be `tau` , the drift velocity of electron will be `v_d = a tau= e/m. V/l.tau ` But in terms of drift velocity magnitude of electric current is given by `I = nAev_d = nAe.e/m.V/l.tau = (nAe^2)/(m) tau.V/l` ` therefore ` Conductance `G = I/V = (nAe^2)/(ML) tau` and conductivity`sigma = (Gl)/(A) = ("ne"^2)/(m) tau` ` therefore ` current density `J = I/A = ("ne"^2 tau V)/(ml) = ("ne"^2 tau)/(m) . E = sigma E` In term of vectors , we have`vecJ = sigma vecE` |

How does a capacitor store energy ? And obtain the formula for the energy stored in the capacitor ? |
Answer» Solution :Take uncharged conductors 1 and 2 as shown in figure. Imagine a process of transferring charge from conductor 2 to conductor 1 bit by bit so that at the ends, conductor 1 gets charge. In transferring POSITIVE charge from conductor 2 to conductor 1 work will be done externally, because at any stage conductor 1 ts at a higher potential than conductor 2. To calculate the total work by in a small step involving ttansfer of an infinitesimally amount of charge. Consider the situation when the conductors 1 and 2 have charges Q. and -Q. RESPECTIVELY. The potential difference V. between conductors 1 to 2 is `V=(Q)/(C)` where C is the capacitance of the system. A small charge `deltaQ`. is TRANSFERRED from conductor 2 to 1, then work done, `deltaW=V.deltaQ` `:. deltaW=(QdeltaQ)/(C)` Total work done to bringing charge Q fron conductor 2 to 1 is obtain by integration, `W= intdW` `W= intdW` `:.W=int_(0)^(Q)(Q)/(C)deltaQ :.W=(1)/(C)int_(0)^(Q).deltaQ=(1)/(C) [((Q.)^(2))/(2)]_(0)^(Q)` `=(1)/(C)[(Q^(2))/(2)]:.W=(Q^(2))/(2C)` Since, electrostatic force is conservative thb work is stored in the form of the potentia energy of the system of two conductors likE capacitors. Hence, potential energy of capacitor can be seen as the energy stored in ELECTRIC field between plates. `:.` The potential energy , `U =(Q^(2))/(2C)` other equivalent forms of this equation If Q=CV then `U=(1)/(2)CV^(2)` and if `C=(Q)/(V)` `U=(1)/(2)CV` |

(a) Define the term 'conductivity' of a metallic wire. Write its SI unit. (b) Using the concept of free electrons in a conductor, derive the expression for the conductivity of a wire in te'rms of number density and relaxation time. Hence obtain the relation between current density and the applied electric field E. |
|
Answer» Solution :(a) The resistivity and conductivity are PROPORTIONALLY constant and, therefore, depend only on the material the wire is made of not the geometry of wire. The reciprocal of resistivity of the material of a conductor is called conductivity. S.I unit = mho - `m^(-1)`/ siemen `m^(-1)`. (b) Let us consider a wire of length l and cross-sectional area A. When potential V is applied at the terminals of wire then electric field F. generate inside the conductor and all the `e^(-1)` flow towards the+ ve terminal of bett'ery with drift velocity Vd. Let the conductor no. of `e^(-1)`per units. Volue is N then no. of `e^(-)`in it . = Volume of wire `xx e^(-1)` density = area `xx` lenght XN = Aln. If charge of each electron ,is e, then total frequency charge q = NALE If the time taken by the ELECTRONS to cover the distance l is = `Detla = l//Vd` Floing current`i = (q) /(Deltat)` `i = (n Ale)/(l//Vd) = nAeVd` We know that currentdensity `J = (i)/(A)= (cancel(nAe)V_(d))/(cancel(A))` `J = "ne"Vd` Drift volocity `V_(d) = ((eEtau)/(m))` Where, `tau =` Relaxtion time Then,`J = ne ((eEtau)/(m))` `J = (ne^(2) tauF)/(m)` `J = sigma E` where `sigma = ("ne"^(2)tau)/(m)`.

What flows through a garden hose at a volume flow rate dV/dt of 450cm^(3)//s. What |
|
Answer» Solution :The current I of negative charge is due to the electrons in the water molecules moving through the hose. The current is the RATE at which that negative charge passes through any plane that cuts COMPLETELY across the hose. Calculations: Calculations: We can write the current in terms of the number of molecules that pass through such a plane per second as i=(charge per electron) (electrons per molecule) (molecules per second) or `i=(e) (10) (d N)/(dt)` We SUBSTITUTE 10 electrons per molecule because a water `(H_2O)` molecule contains 8 electrons in the SINGLE oxygen atom and 1 electron in each of the two hydrogen atoms. We can express the rate dN/dt in terms of the given volume flow rate dV/dt by first writing (molecule per second)=(molecules per mole) (moles per unit mass) `xx ("mass per unit volume") ("volume per second")` "Molecules per mole" is Avogadro.s number `N_A.` "Moles per unit mass" is the inverse of the mass per mole, which is the molar mass M of water. "Mass per unit volume" is the (mass) density `p_("mass")` of water. The volume per second is the volume flow rate dV/dt. Thus, we have `(d N)/(dt)=N_(A) (1/M)p_("mass") ((d V)/(dt))=(N_(A) p_("mass"))/(M) (d V)/(dt)` SUBSTITUTING this into the equation for i, we find `i=10eN_(A) M^(-1) p_("mass") (d V)/(dt)` We know that Avogadro.s number `N_A.` is `6.02 xx 10^(23)` molecules/mol, or `6.02 xx 10^(23)" mol"^(-1),` and from Table 15-1 we know that the density of water `p_("mass")` pris under normal conditions is 1000 kg/m`""^(3)`. We can get the molar mass of water from the molar masses listed in Appendix F (in grams per mole): We add the molar mass of oxygen (16 g/mol) to twice the molar mass of hydrogen (1 g/mol), obtaining 18 g/mol = 0.018 kg/mol. So, the current of negative charge due to the electrons in the water is `i=(10) (1.6 xx 10^(-19C)) (6.02 xx 10^(23) "mol"^(-1)) xx (0.018 kg//mol)^(-1) (1000 kg//m^(3)) (450 xx 10^(-6) m^(3)//s)` `=2.41 xx 10^(7) C//s=2.41 xx 10^(7)A` =24.1MA. This current of negative charge is exactly compensated by a current of positive charge associated with the nuclei of the three atoms that make up the water molecule. Thus, there is no net flow of charge through the hose. |

A bulb is placed at a depth of 2sqrt(7) m in water and a floating opaque disc is placed over the bulb so that the bulb is not visible from the surface. What is the minimum diameter of the disc? |
Answer» Solution : As shown in figure, LIGHT from bulb will not emerge out of water if at the edge of disc, `i gt theta_cor sintheta_c` Now if R is the radius of disc and h is the depth of bulb from it, `sin i = (R )/(sqrt( R^2 +h^2)) ` and` sin theta_c = (1)/(mu )` So equation (1) becomes `(R )/( sqrt(R^2+h^2))gt(1)/(mu)orR gt(h )/( sqrt(mu^2-1)) ` here `h=2 sqrt(7)mand mu= ( 4//3)` So `R_(min) = ( 2 sqrt(7))/( sqrt((16 //9)-1))= 6M ` So DIAMETER of disc = 2R = 2 `xx` 6 = 12 m |

Obtain Gauss law from Coulomb 's law . |
|
Answer» Solution :Gauss lawstates that if a charge Q is enclosed by an arbitrary closed surface then the TOTAL electric flux `Phi_(E)` through the closed surface is `Phi_(E)oint vecE.dvecA= (Q_("end"))/(epsilon_(0))` A positive point charge Q is surrounded by an imaginary sphere of radius r as shown in FIGURE. We can calculate the total electric flux through the closed surface of the sphere using the equation . `Phi_(E)=ointvecE .dvecA= oint EdAcos theta ` The electric field of the point charge is DIRECTED radially outward at all point on the surface of the sphere . Therefore the direction of the area element `dvecA` is along the electric field `vecE` and `theta= 0^(@)` . `Phi_(E)=oint EdA ` since cos `0^(@)=1 ` E is uniform on the surface of the sphere `Phi_(E) = Eoint dA` Substituting for `oint dA = 4pir^(2)` and E `= (1)/(4piepsilon_(0))Q ` in equation 3 we GET `Phi_(E)= (1)/(4piepsilon_(0))(q)/(r^(2))xx4pir^(2)= 4pi(1)/(4piepsilon_(0))= (Q)/(epsilon_(0))` The equation (4) is called as Gauss.s law . The remarkable point about this result is that the equation ( 4) is equally true for any arbitrary shaped which encloses the charge Q. |
