When an electric cell is in use, .... Relation holds good.

Answer»

`EPSILON = V - Ir `
`epsilon = V + Ir`
`epsilon = V `
`epsilon = V + IR `

Solution :`epsilon = V + Ir`
When CURRENT flows AWAY from positive terminal of the cell, it gets discharged and so its tenninal voltage is,
V = `epsilon - Ir `
`THEREFORE epsilon = V + Ir `

its mass is m and its weight is `(w)/(2)`
its mass is `(m)/(2)` and its weight is `(w)/(4)`
its mass is m and its weight is `(w)/(9)`

SOLUTION :Along the Earth's surface (r= R), the gravitational pull is APPROXIMATELY `g=10 m//s^(2)`. When the satellite is at an altiude of twice the Earth's radius, the radius is ACTUALLY equal to 3 R (accounting for the radius from the center of the Earth to the surface). Since the radius is three times away, the inverse square law results in a gravitational acceleration that is `1//9` TH the normal gravitational pull oe Earth at the surface (r= R). This is (d).

A test charge 'q' is moved without acceleration from A to C along the path from A to B and then from B to C in electric field E as shows in the figure. (i) Calculate the potential difference between A and C. (ii) At which point (of the two) is the electric potential more and why ?

Answer»

Solution :(i) As electric field is a conservative field, work doene in MOVING the TEST charge q is exactly same along the path ABC or along straight path AC.
Distance`AC = vec R = - 4 hati`, and force applied against the electric field `vecF_("ext")= - vecE_q= -E_qhati`
`:.` Work done `W_(AC) = vec F_("ext").vecr = [-EQ hat i].[-4hati] = + 4 Eq`
`:.` Potential difference between C and A
`V_C - V_A= (W_(AC))/q = (4Eq)/q = + 4E`
(ii) Electric potential at point C is GREATER i.e., `V_C gt V_A`.

Find the current flowing through the branch AC in the steady state as also the charge on the capacitor C. If the externally applied potentials are now withdrawn, how will the charge on the capacitor vary as a function of time? (R = 1 kOmega, C = 10 muF)

Answer»

Solution :The current through `BA = (10V-5V)/(1) = 5 mA`
Similarly current through `AC = 5 mA, & BC = 10 mA`
steady state CHARGE on `C = 5V xx 10 muF = 50 muC`If the potential differences are withdrawn at time t = 0, the charge on the capacitor varies as a function of time as it discharges through the external resistance. The equivalent resistance of the circuit across AC is
`(2R.R)/(2R+R)=(2)/(3)xxR=667Omega(approx)`
The time CONSTANT `tau=(2//3R)XXC=6.67msec`
The charge across the capacitor decreases exponentially`q(t) 50 muC xsx e^(-t//6.67) MS`

The horizontal component of the earth's magnetic field at a place is 1/(sqrt(3)) times its vertical component there. Find the value of the angle of dip at that place. What is the ratio of the horizontal component to the total magnetic field of the earth at that place?

Answer»

Solution :As per question `B_H = 1/sqrt3B_V ` or `(B_V)/(V_H) = sqrt3`
But `(B_V)/(B_H)= tan DELTA` , where `delta` is the ANGLE of dip at given PLACE. HENCE,
`tan delta = sqrt3 ` or ` delta = tan^(-1) sqrt3 = pi/3 ` or `60^@`
Again `B_H = D_E cos delta = B_E cos 60^@ = (B_E)/(2) implies(B_H)/(B_E) =1/2`.

In a X-ray tube, after an electron has been removed from an inner shell of a target atom, an electron from outer shell falls into the vacancy and the excess energy is usually released in form of a photon. Many a times an atom chooses to release this excess energy by ejecting another electron. The ejected electron is called Auger electron. In one such event, the bombarding electron removed an electron from K shell of a target atom. An electron from L shell falls to occupy the vacant K shell position, and the excess energy is used by the atom to eject an Auger electron from L shell. What will be kinetic energy of such an Auger electron if the ionization energies for K and L shell of the atom is E_(k) and E_(L) respectively.
