The ratio of the radius of the tube of a venturimeter is eta (eta gt 1) . The ratio of the densities of the liquid in the manometer and the moving fluidis eta _(1) . If the differencein heights of the liquid column in the manometer is h , find the minimum speed of flow of the fluid .

Answer»

Solution :The speed of FLOW is minimum whenthe cross - sectional AREA of the tube is maximum . The equation foe minimumspeed of FLOWOF the liquidin a venturimeter is GIVEN as
`v_(1) = A_(2) sqrt((2rho_(0)gh)/(rho(A_(1)^(2)-A_(2)^(2))))= sqrt((2(rho_(0)//rho)gh)/(((A_(1))/(A_(2)))^(2)-1))`
Putting `rho_(0)//rho = eta_(1) , (A_(1))/(A_(2))= (pir_(1)^(2))/(pir_(2)^(2)) = (r_(1)/(r_(2)))^(2) = ETA^(2)` ,
we obtain , `v_(1) = sqrt((2eta_(1)gh)/(eta^(4)-1))`

Consider the following R-L-C circuit in which R = 12 Omega, X_(L) =24Omega, X_(C) =8Omega The emf of source is given by V =10 sin (100pit)V (a) Find the energey dissipated in 10 min (b) If resistance is removed from the circuit and value of inductance is doubled express variation of current with time t in the new circuit . .

Answer»

Solution :Inpedance `Z = sqrt(R^(2) + (X_(L) - X_(C)^(2))) = sqrt((12)^(2) + (24 - 8)^(2)) = 20Omega`
`cops phi = ( R)/(Z) = (12)/(20) = (3)/(5)`
Power consumed
` P = (1)/(2) V_(0)i_(0) cos phi = (1)/(2) V_(0) . V_(0)/(Z) cos phi`
` = (1)/(2) (10)^(2)/((20)) xx (3)/(5) = 1.5W`
Energy dissipated `E = Pt = (1.5)(10 xx 60) =900J`
`Z = X_(L) - X_(C) = 48 -8 =40 Omega`
`i_(0) = (V_(0))/(Z) = (10)/(40) = (1)/(4) A`
Current lags the voltage by `pi//2`
`i = i_(0) SIN (omegat -pi//2)`
`= (1)/(4) sin (100 pit - 2)`

a) Determine the 'eefective focal length' of the combination of the two lenses in Exercise 10, if they are placed 8.0 cm apart with their principal axes coincident. Does the answer depend on which side of the combination a beam of parallel light is incident ? Is the notion of effective focal length of this system useful at all ?

Answer»

Solution :i) Let a parallel beam be incident on the convex LENS first. If 2nd lens were absent, then
`u_(1)=oo and f_(1)=30cm`
As `(1)/(upsilon_(1))-(1)/(u_(1))=(1)/(f_(1))`
`(1)/(upsilon_(1))=(1)/(oo)=(1)/(30)`
`upsilon_(1)=30cm`
The image would now act as a virtual object for 2nd lens.
`u_(2)=+(30-8)=+22cm`
`upsilon_(2)=?, f_(2)=-20cm`
As `(1)/(upsilon_(2))=(1)/(f_(2))+(1)/(u_(2))`
`(1)/(upsilon_(2))=(1)/(-20)+(1)/(22)=(-11+10)/(220)=(-1)/(220)`
`upsilon_(2)=-220cm`
`therefore` Parallel incident beam would appear to diverge from a point `220-4=216cm` from the centre of the two lens system.
ii) Suppose a parallel beam of light fromthe LEFT is incident first on the concave lens.
`u_(1)=-oo, f_(1)=-20cm, upsilon=?`
As `(1)/(upsilon_(1))-(1)/(u_(1))=(1)/(f_(1))`
`(1)/(upsilon_(1))=(1)/(f_(1))+(1)/(u_(1))=(-1)/(20)+(1)/(-oo)=(-1)/(20)`
This image acts as a real object for the 2nd lens.
`u_(2)=-(20+8)=-28cm, f_(2)=30cm,`
`upsilon_(2)=?`
As `(1)/(upsilon_(2))-(1)/(u_(2))=(1)/(f_(2))`
`(1)/(upsilon_(2))=(1)/(f_(2))+(1)/(u_(2))=(1)/(30)-(1)/(28)=(14-15)/(420)`
`upsilon_(2)=-420 CM`
`therefore` The parallel beam appears to diverge from a point `420-4=416cm`, on the left of the centre of the two lens system.
From the above discussion, we observe that the anwer depends on which side of the lens system the parallel beam is incident. Therefore, the notion of effective focal length does not SEEM to be useful here.

(a) Magnetic field lines show the direction (at every point) along which a small magnetised needle aligns at the point). Do the magnetic field lines also represent the lines of force on a moving charged particle at every point? (b) Magnetic field lines can be entirely confined within the core of a toroid, but not within a straight solenoid. Why? (c) If magnetic monopoles existed, how would the Gauss's law of magnetism be modified? (d) Does a bar magnet exert a torque on itsell due to its own field? Does one element of a current-carrying wire exert a force on another element of the same wtre? (e) Magnetic field arises due to charges in motion. Can a system have magnetic moments even though its net charge is zero?

Answer»

Solution :(a) No. The MAGNETIC force is always normal to B (remember magnette force `=qv xx B).` It is misleading to call magiette fteld ithes as lines of force.
(b) If field lines were ENTIRELY confined between two ends of a straight solenoid, the flux through the cross-section at each end would be non-zero. But the flux of field B through any closed surface must always be zero. For a toroid, this difficulty is absent because it has no .ends..
(c) Gauss.s law of magnetism states that the flux of B through any closed surface is always zero `int_(s) B. triangleS=0`
If monopoles EXISTED, the right hand side would be equal to the monopole (magnetic charge) `q_(m)` enclosed by S. (Analogous to Gauss.s law of electrostaties, `int_(S) B. triangleS=mu_(0)q_(m)" where "q_(m)` is the (monopole) magnetic charge enclosed by S.)
(d) No. There is no force or torque on an element due to the field produced by that element itself. But there is a force (or torque) on an element of the same wire. (For the special case of a straight wire, this force is zero.)
(E) Yes. THe average of the charge in the system may be zer. Yet, the mean of the magnetic moments due to various current loops may not be zero. We will come across such examples in connection with paramagnetic material where atoms have net dipole moment thorugh their net charge is zero.
