A series LCR circuit contains a pure inductor of inductance 5.0H, a capacitor of capacitance 20mu F and a resistor 40Omega. Find the resonant frequency of the circuit. Calculate the quality factor (Q- factor ) of the circuit. What is the impedance at resonant condition?

Answer»

Solution :`L= 5H, C= 20 XX 10^(6)F, R= 40 Omega`
Resonant FREQUENCY `f_(0)= (1)/(2pi sqrt(LC))`
`f_(0)= (1)/(2 xx 3.14 sqrt(5 xx 20 xx 10^(-6)))`
`f_(0)= 15.91 Hz or 16Hz`
`Q= (1)/(R )sqrt((L)/(C ))= (1)/(40) sqrt((5)/(20 xx 10^(-6))) = 12.5`
Impedance at resonant Z= R
`Z= 40Omega`

Explain Mass defect and Binding energy and establish a relation between them.

Answer»



Solution :MASS defect. It is found that the mass of a stable nucleus is always less than the sum of masses of its constituent protons and neutrons in their free state.
The difference between the sum of the masses of nucleons constituting it and the rest mass of the nucleus is called mass defect.
Let `M_(N)=` mass of neutrons
`Z=` number of protons
`A=` TOTAL number of nucleons
`:.` The mass defect,
`Deltam=ZM_(p)+(Z-A)M_(n)-M_("nucleus")`
Binding ENERGY. The binding energy of a nucleus may be defined as the energy required to break up a nucleus into its constituent protons and neutrons at infinite distance apart.

In the LCR circuit shown in figure unknown resistance and alternating voltage source are connected.When swith S is closed then there is a phase difference of pi/4 between current and applied voltage and voltage across resister is 100/sqrt2 V.When switch is open current and applied voltage are in same phase.Neglecting resistance of connecting wire answer the following questions : Average power consumption in the circuit when S is open:

Answer»

`2500 W`
`3000 W`
`5000 W`
`1250 W`

Solution :When SWITCH is closed
`V_(rms(applied))=100` volts
`V_(peak(applied))=100sqrt2`
When switch is open `f=1/(2pisqrt(1/(25pi)xx1/(100pi)))=50/2=25 HZ`
Resistance `R=X_(L)=X_(C)=2pifL=2Omega`
Average POWER consumption =`(100/2)^(2)2=10000/2=5000 W`

When two resistances connected in series and parallel their equivalent resistances are 15Omega and (56)/(15)Omega respectively. Find the individual resistances.

Answer»

<P>

Solution :`R_(s)=R_(1)+R_(2)=15Omega "" …(1)`
`R_(p)=(R_(1)R_(2))/(R_(1)+R_(2))=(56)/(15)Omega""…(2)`
From equation (1) substituting for `R_(1)+R_(2)` in equation (2)
`(R_(1)R_(2))/(15)=(56)/(15)Omega "" therefore R_(1)R_(2)=56`
`R_(2)=(56)/(15)Omega ""...(3)`
Substituting for `R_(2)` in equation (1) from equation (3)
`R_(1)+(56)/(15)=15`then, `(R_(1)^(2)+56)/(R_(1))=15`
`R_(1)^(2)+56=15R_(1) RARR R_(1)^(2)-15R_(1)+56=0`
The above equation can be SOLVED USING factorisation.
`R_(1)^(2)-8R_(1)-7R_(1)+56=0`
`R_(1)(R_(1)-8)-7(R_(1)-8)=0 rArr (R_(1)-8) (R_(1)-7)=0`
If `(R_(1)=8Omega)`, using in equation (1)
`8+R_(2)=15 rArr R_(2)=15-8=7Omega`
`R_(2)=7Omega` i.e, (when `R_(1)=8Omega, R_(2)=7Omega`)
If `(R_(1)=7Omega)`, substituting in equation (1)
`7+R_(2)=15 rArr R_(2)=8Omega`, i.e, (when `R_(1)=8Omega, R_(2)=7Omega`)

Answer»

Solution :(i) All the points on the string
(a) have the same FREQUENCY except at the nodes( wherefrequency is `costheta `)
(b) have the same PHASE every where in one loop exceptat the nodes.
(c ) however, the amplitudeof VIBRATION at different points is different.

A beam of light consisting of two wavelengths 500 nm and 400 nm is used to obtain interference fringes in Young's double slit experiment. The distance between the slits is 0.3 mm and the distance between the slits and the screen is 1.5 m. Compute the least distance of the point from the central maximum, where the bright fringes due to both the wavelengths coincide.

Answer»

Solution :`lambda_(1)=500nm`
`lambda_(2)=400nm`
`d=0.3mm`
`D=1.5m`
Here
`Xn_(1)=Xn_(2)`
`(n_(1)lambda_(1)D)/(d)=(n_(2)lambda_(2)D)/(d)`
`n_(1)xx500=n_(2)xx400`
`(n_(1))/(n_(2))=(4)/(5)`
Hence `n_(1)=4`
Now
`Xn_(1)=(n_(1)lambda_(1)D)/(d)`
`=(4xx500xx10^(-9)xx1.5)/(0.3xx10^(-3))`
`=0.01m`
