Two elelctric bulbs P and Q have their resistance in the ratio of 1: 2. They are connected in series across a battery. Find the ratio of the power dissipation in these bulbs.

Answer» Let P=x and Q= 2x
Given `P : Q = x : 2x - 1:2`
For bulb P power loss `P_(1) = (V_(2))/(R_(1)) = (V_(2))/(P)`
`P_(1) = (V^(2))/(x)`
Similarly `P_(2) = (V^(2))/(Q) = (V^(2))/(2x)`
Ratio of power loss `(P_(1))/(P_(2)) = (cancel(V)^(cancel(2))/(cancel(H)))/((cancel(V)^(2))/(2cancel(H))`
`P_(1) : P_(2) = 2:1`

Derive an expression for the magnetic moment `(vec mu)` of an electron revolving around the nucleus in termsof its angular momentum `(vecl)`. What is the direction of the magnetic moment of the electron with respect to its angular momentum?

Answer» We have `mu=iA(ev)/(2pir)xxpir^(2)=(evr)/(2)`
`"Since "l=mvr`
`"or "vr=(1)/(m)" "therefore(vec mu)=-(evecl)/(2m)" "[therefore" electron has a negative charge"]`
The direction of `(vec mu)` is opposite to that of `vecl`, because of the negative charge of the electron.

(i) An a.c. Source of voltage `V = V_(0) " sin " omegat` is connected to a series combination of L,C and R . Use the phasor diagram to obtain expression for impedance of the circuit and phase angle between voltage and current . Find the condition when current will be phase with the voltage . What is the circuit in this condition called ? (ii) In a series LR circuit `X_(L) = R` and power factor of the circuit is `P_(1)`. When capacitor which capacitance C such that `X_(L) =X_(C)` is put in series , the power factor becomes `P_(2)` .Calculate `P_(1)//P_(2)`

Answer» (i) from the phasor diagram `V^(2) =V_(4)^(2) + (V_(L) -V_(C ))^(2)`
`rArr V = sqrt(V_(R )^(2)+(V_( C) -V_(C ))^(2))`
` V_( R ) =R I , V_( C ) =X_( C ) I , V_(L ) = X_(L ) I`
`rArr V = sqrt(R^(2) I^(2) +(X_(C ) -X_(L))^(2)I^(2))=I sqrt(R^(2) (X_( C) -X_(L)))^(2)`
` (V)/(I)= sqrt(R^(2)(X_(C ) -X_(L))^(2)) rArr Z = sqrt(R^(2)( X_(C ) - X_(L)))^(2)`
This is required impedance of the circuit .
Now ` " tan " phi = (V_(C ) -V_(L))/(V_(R )) =(IX_(C ) -I X_(L))/(IR)`
`" tan " phi = (X_(C ) -X_( L))/(R )`
When `X_( C) = X_(L)` impedance of circuit beomes minimum and current becomes maximum this condition is called condition of resonance
`X_(C ) - X_(L) " " rArr omegaC = 1//omegaL rArr omega^(2) = (1)/(LC ) rArr omega = sqrt((1)/(LC))`
this is resonance fruquency
(ii) For LR series circuit . ,
Power factor `P_(1)=( R)/(Z) = (R )/(sqrt(X_(L)^(2) +R^(2))) =(R )/(sqrt(R^(2) +R^(2))) =(R )/(sqrt(2R^(2))) =(1)/(sqrt(2))`
For LCr series
`P_(2) = (R )/(sqrt((X_(L) -X_(C))^(2)+R^(2)) )=(R )/(sqrt((R-R)^(2) +R^(2)))=1 rArr P_(1): P_(2) =1 : sqrt(2)`

(c ) Two factors which reduce the efficiency of transformer :
(i) Magnetic flux leakage (ii) Eddy current (iii) Magnetic hysteresis / Resistance of winding
(d) `V_(s)=22V,n=90%=0.90,R_(0)=440Omega, V_(s)=I_(s)R_(0)`
`I_(s)=(V_(s))/(R_(0))=(22)/(440)=(1)/(20)A=(V_(s)I_(s))/(V_(p)I_(s))rArr0.90=(22xx(1)/(20))/(220xxI_(p))`
`I_(p)=(22xx(1)/(20))/(220xx0.90)=(cancel(22))/(20)xx(1)/(cancel(220)_(10)xx0.9)=(1)/(200xx0.9)=(1)/(180.0)`
`I_(p)=(1)/(180)A`

Why are the enviromentalists worried about the considerable increase in the level of green house gases ? List the different green house gases other than carbon dioxide.

Answer» Increase in the level of green house has led to considerable heating of Earth leading to global warming. Scientists believe that this rise in temperature is the cause of harmful changes in the environment and resulting in old climatic changes (example :El Nino effect), thus leading to melting of Himalayan and polar ice caps. Over many years, this can result in a rise in sea level that can submerge many coastal areas. Methane, Nitrous oxide and chloroflurocarbons are the green house gases other than carbon dioxide.

How are primary and secondary immune responses carried out in the human body ? Explain.

Answer» The primary and secondary immune responses are carried out with the help of two special types of lymphocytes, the B-lymphocytes and the T-lymphocytes.
B-lymphocytes : These produce an army of proteins in response to pathogens in blood. These are called antibodies. The different types of antibodies secreted are IgA, Igm, IgE and IgG. This response by the immune system is also called the humoral immune response.
T-lymphocytes : These mediate the cell-mediated immunity (CMI).The cell mediated immune response in responsible for the graft refection.
