(a) Two charged bodies, A and B are suspended from a fixed point with the help of silk threads as shown in the figure. If A is positively charged can we identify the nature of charge on 'B' ? (b) A negatively charged conducting sphere A and a neutral sphere B are kepton insulating stands and brought cose to each other. The charge distri-bution is as shown in the figure. Is B charged ? What type of force exists between A and B ?

Answer»

Solution :(a) From the figure, we know that there is a repul-sive force between A and B, A repulsive force exist between like charges. Since A is POSITIVELY charged, B must be positively charged.
(b) If we observe the figure, we see that on B, positivechrage is distributed on left SIDE WHEREAS, negative charge is distributed on the RIGHT side. As they are equal in magnitudes , the net charge on B is zeor. Redistribution of charges has TAKEN place in B when it is placed near a negatively charged body A because of electric induction.
There will be attractive force between A and B.

A test tube is filled with some water .A small piece of wax is fixed at the bottom of the test tube and small piece of wax is made to float on the water what happens to the wax at the top and bottom of the test tube if the test tube is heated at the top middle and bottom?

Answer»

Solution :By heating the test TUBE at its top the wax present at top surface will only melt but the wax present at the bottom of the test tube in water does not melt as thereris no transfer of HEAT in the donnword DIRECTION by convection so the temperture of water at the bottom of the test tube remains constant and there is no change in the state of wax present at the bottomby heating the test tube at the middle the wax at the top surface will melt but the wax present at the bottom surface remains same because heat covection takes place in upwared direction only by heating the test tube at bottom both the wax present at top and bottom melt because heat gets transferred from bottom to top DUE to convection

A sound wave is travelling from a metallic rod to water. What changes will occur in the velocity and frequency of the sound ?

Answer»

Solution :As the sound is produced by a vibrating source, the number of vibrations COMPLETED by that source in 1 s remains same, i.e., the frequency of sound wave remains constant even THOUGH it travels from one medium to another. Sound travels with different speeds in different MEDIA. As it is ENTERING from solid (metalic rod) to water (liquid), its VELOCITY (speed) decreases.

Rahul, by using a hace salw blade,was cutting metal pipes to supply water to house. What will happen if he starts moving the hack saw blade very fast over the metal, due to lack of time

Answer»

SOLUTION : If we move the hack saw blade very fast over the WORK piece, due to friction, the blade GETS heated up and it willdemate the shapnees of teethc, So, the efficiency of the blade will be REDUCED, and when we move it very fast over the cutting METAL, there is a chance of breaking the hack saw balde.

What will happen to the strips of a positively charged electroscope when a positively charged and another negtively charged bodies with equal magnitude of charge are brought simultaneously in contact with the cap of a positively charged electroscope?

Answer»

move apart.
come closer.
remains uneffected
Cannot be DETERMINED

Solution :When prositively charged and netgatively charged bodies are brought in contact with the brass cap of the gold leaf electroscope-both the CHARGE neutral-ize each other and the net charge will be ZERO on the cap of electroscope,and hence the charge on strips flows to the bodies brought in CONTACTWITH the cap and due to this the grap between strips decreases.

Raghavan found a metallic rod AB and a glass rod CD both positively charged and placed on an insulat-ing table. He wanted to know what would happen to the charges on AB and CD if he touched both the rod at A and C ? Discuss.

Answer»

Solution :Metals are conductors and glass is an insulator. If a person TOUCHES a charged body, the body LOSES to charge to ground and this is known as 'earthing'. In case of a metallic rod, charges are free to move through the body, and even if the person touches the body at 'A', the body loses its WHOLE charge to the earth. Where as in case of glass rod,only the charge that is in CONTACT with the person gets earthed and the remaining charge on 'CD' will REMAIN as it is.
