Briefly explain the action of p-n-p transistor.

Answer»

Solution :Action of p-n-p transistor. In a p-n-p transistor, when the emitter is forward biased, the holes in the emitter and the electrons in the BASE begin to move towards the junction, holes being attracted by the negative TERMINAL and the electrons by the positive terminal of the battery. On reaching the base-emitter junction a small fraction of total number of holes with electrons to get neutralized. As the base layer is very thin the collector is kept at high negative potential , almost all the holes are attracted by the collector, producing a hole-current between the emitter and collector.

The emitter current `I_(E)` is the sum of base current and the collector current.
i.e. `I_(e)=I_(b)+I_(c)`
So `I_(c) lt I_(e)`
Working of p-n-p
In working of p-n-p, as each hole reaches the collector, an ELECTRON is emitted from the negative terminal of battery and the hole is neutralized. Simultaneously, a covalent bond is broken near the emitter, the electron so produced ENTER the positive terminal of the forward bias battery and the hole starts its journey towards the emitter base junction. Holes are the current carriers in p-n-p transistor, however the current in the outer circuit is always due to flow of electrons.

(a) Three point charges q,-4q and 2q are placed at the vertices of an equilateral triangle ABC of side 'l' as shown in the figure. Obtain the expression for the magnitude of the resultant electric force acting on the charge q. (b) Find out the amount of the work done to separate the charges at infinite distance.

Answer»

Solution :FORCE on charge Q due to the charge -4q
` F_1 =(1)/( 4pi in _0alpha ) ((4q^(2))/( l^(2)) ` along AB
Force on the charge q. due to the charge 2q
` F_2 =(1)/( 4pin in _0) ((4q^(2))/( l^(2)) `along CA
the forces `F_1 and F_2 ` are inclined to each other at an angle of `120^(@) `
Hence , resultant electric force on charge q
` F= sqrt( F_1^(2) +F_2^(2) +2F_1F_2cos THETA ) `
` =sqrt( F_1^(2) +F_2^(2) + 2F_1F_2cos theta 120^(@) ) `
` = sqrt( F_1^(2) +F_2^(2) -F_1F_2 ) `
` =((1)/( 4pi in _0) (q^(2) )/( l^(2))) sqrt( 16+4-8) `
` =(1)/( 4pi in _0) ((2sqrt3q^(2))/( l^(2)))`
2161.

A point charge q is placed at a distance d from the centre of a circular disc of radius R. Find electric flux flowing through the disc due to that charge

Answer»

Solution :We know that total flux originated from a point CHARGE Q in all directions is `(q)/(in_(0))`. This flux is originated in a solid ANGLE `4pi`. In the given case solid angle subtended by the cone subtended by the disc at the point charge is `Omega = 2PI (1- cos theta)`
So, the flux of q which is passing through the surface of the disc is
`phi = (q)/(in_(0)) (Omega)/(4pi) = (q)/(2in_(0))(1- cos theta)`
From the FIGURE, `cos theta = (d)/(sqrt(d^(2) + R^(2)))`,
so `phi = (q)/(2 in_(0)) {1-(d)/(sqrt(d^(2) + R^(2)))}`

Figure (a) shows an arrangement of three charged particles separted by distance d. Particles A and C are fixed on the x-axis, but particle B can be moved along a circle centered on particle A. During the movement, a radial line between A and B makes an angle theta relative to the positive direction of the x-axis (Fig. b). The curves in Fig. c give, for two situations, the magnitude F_("net") of the net electrostatic force on particle A due to the other particles. That net force if given as a function of angle theta and as a multiple of a basic amount F_(0). For example on curve 1, at theta=180^(@) we see that F_("net")=2F_(0).

Derive the equation for acceptanc angleand numerical aperture, of optical fiber. Acceptance angle in optical fibre:

Answer»

Solution :To ensure the cirtical angle INCIDENCE in the core - cladding boundary INSIDE the optical fibre, the light should be incident at a certain angle at the END of the optical while entering in to it. This angleis called acceptance angle. It dependson the refractiveincidens of the core`n_(1),` cladding `n_(2)` and the outer medium `n_(3)`, Assume the light is incident at an angle called acceptance angle `i_(a)` at the outer medium and core bounadary at A.
The Snell.s law in the product form, equation for this refraction at the POINT A.


`n_(3) sin i_(a) = n_(1) sin r_(a)`
To have the total interal reflection inside optical, fibre, the angle of incidence at the core-cadding INTERFACE at B should be atleastcritical angle `i_(c)`,. Snell.s law in the product form, equaiton for the refractionat point B is,
`n_(1) sin i_(c) = n_(2) 90^(@)`
`n_(1) sin i_(c) n_(2) "" therefore sin 90^(@) = 1`
`therefore sin i_(c) n (n_(2))/(n_(1))`
From the right angle triangle `DeltaABC`,
`i_(c) = 90^(@) - r_(a)`
Now, equation (3) becomes, `sin (90^(@) - r_(a)) = (n_(2))/(n_(1))`
Using trigonometry, `cos r_(a) = (n_(2))/(n_(1))`
`sin r_(a) = sqrt(1 - cos^(2) r_(a))`
Substituting for `cos r_(a)`
`sinr_(a)=sqrt(1-((n_(2))/(n_(1)))^(2))=sqrt((n_(1)^(2)-n_(2)^(2))/(n_(1)^(2)))`
Substituting this in equation (1) `n_(3)sini_(a)=n_(1)=n_(1)sqrt((n_(1)^(2)-n_(2)^(2))/(n_(1)^(2)))=sqrt(n_(1)^(2)-n_(2)^(2))`
On further simoplificaiton,
`sini_(a)=sqrt((n_(1)^(2)-n_(2)^(2))/(n_(3)))(or)sini_(a)=sqrt((n_(1)^(2)-n_(2)^(2))/(n_(3)^(2))`
`i_(a)=sini^(-1)(sqrt((n_(1)^(2)-n_(2)^(2))/(n_(3)^(2))))`
If outer medium is air, then `n_(3) = 1`. The acceptance angle `i_(a)` becomes,
`i_(a)=sini^(-1)(sqrt(n_(1)^(2)-n_(2)^(2)))`
Light can haveany angle of incidence from o to `i_(a)` with the normal at the end of the optical fibre forming a conical shape called acceptancecone. In the equation (6), the term `(n_(3)sini_(a))`
`NA=n_(3)sini_(a)sqrt(n_(1)^(2)-n_(2)^(2))`

Fusion processes, like combining two deutrons ot form a He nucleus are impossible at ordinary temperatures and pressure. The resons for this can be traced to the fact:

Answer»

nuclear forces have short RANGE
nuclei are positively CHARGED
the original nuclei must be COMPLETELY ionized before FUSION can take place
the original nuclei must first break up before combining with each other

Solution :Fusion PROCESSES are impossible at ordinary temperature and pressures. This is because nuclei are positively charged and nuclear forces are the strongest forces having short range. Choice (a) and (b) is correct.
