Here we calculate on instantaneous work - that is, the rate at which work is being done at any given instant rather than averaged over a time interval. Figure 8-34 shows constant forces vec(F)_(1) and vec(F)_(2) acting onabox as the box slides rightward across a frictionless floor. Force vec(F)_(1) is horizontal , with magnitude 2.0 N, force vec(F)_(2) is angled upward by 60^(@) to the floor and has magnitude 4.0 N. The speed v of the box at a certain instant is 3.0 m/s. What is the power due to each force acting on the box at that instant, and what is the net power? Is the net power changing at that instant?

Answer»

Solution :KEY IDEAS
We want an instantaneous power, not an average power over a time period. Also, we KNOW the box.s velocity (rather than the work done on it).
Calculation: We use Eq. 8-87 for each force, For force `vec(F)_(1)` at angle `phi_(1)=180^(@)` to velocity `vec(v)` , we have
`P_(1) = F_(1) v cos phi_(1) = (2.0N)(3.0 m//s) cos 180^(@)`
` = -6.0` W.
This negative result tells us that force `vec(F)_(1)` is TRANSFERRING energy from the box at the rate of 6.0 J/s.
For force `vec(F)_(2)`, at angle `phi_(2)=60^(@)` to velocity `vec(v)`, we have
`P_(2)= F_(2) v cos phi_(2)=(4.0 N) (3.0 m//s) cos 60^(@)`
`= 6.0 W`.

Figure 8-34 Two forces `vec(F)_(1)` and `vec(F)_(2)` act on a box that slides reightward across a frictionless floor. The velocity of the box is `vec(v)`.
This positive result tells us that force `vec(F)_(2)` is transferring energy to the box at the rate of 6.0 J/s.
The net power is the sum of theindividual powers ( complete with their algebraic SIGNS):
` P_("net")=P_(1)+P_(2)`
` = -60 W + 6.0 W = 0`,
Which tells us that the net rate of transfer of energy to or fromthe box is zero. Thus, the kinetic energy `(K=1//2 mv^(2))` of the box is not changing, and so the speed of the box will remain at 3.0 m//s. With neither the forces `vec(F)_(1)` and `vec(F)_(2)` nor HTE velocity `vec(v)` changing , We see from Eq. 8-88 that `P_(1)` and `P_(2)` are constant and thus So is `P_("net")`.

An electromagnetic wave of wavelength lamda is incident on a photosensitive surface of negligible work function. If the photoelectrons emitted from this surface have the de-Broglie wavelength lamda_(1), prove that lamda=((2mc)/(h))lamda_(1)^(2).

Answer»

Solution :As per Einstein.s PHOTOELECTRIC equation, we know that
`(hc)/(lamda)-phi_(0)=K`
If WORK function `phi_(0)` is negligible, then `(hc)/(lamda)=K`
where K is the maximum vlaue of KINETIC energy of ejected photoelectrons
If de-Broglie WAVELENGTH of ejected photoelectrons be `lamda_(1)`, then
`lamda_(1)=(h)/(p)=(h)/(SQRT(2mK))implies K=(h^(2))/(2mlamda_(1)^(2))`
Comparing two expressions for K, we have
`(hc)/(lamda)=(h^(2))/(2mlamda_(1)^(2))implies lamda=((2mc)/(h))lamda_(1)^(2)`.

Obtain Gauss's law from Coulomb's law.

Answer»

SOLUTION :Coulombian force acting between charges Q +q is,
`F = 1/(4PI epsilon_(0)).(Qq)/r^(2)`
`F/Q =q/(4pi epsilon_(0).r^(2))`
But, `F/Q =vecE`
[Force acting on Q charge placed in ELECTRIC FIELD of q means intensity of electric field E]
`THEREFORE E = 1/(4pi epsilon_(0)).q/r^(2)`
`therefore E xx 4pir^(2) =q/epsilon_(0)`
`therefore intEds = q/epsilon_(0)`, where `4pir^(2) = ds`
As E and ds are vectors.
`intvecE.vec(ds) =q/epsilon_(0)`. This is Gauss.s law.

Draw a labelled circuit diagram of n - p - n germanium transistor in common emitter configuration. Explainbriegfly , how this transistor is used as a voltage amplifier.

Answer»

Solution :Transistor as an amplifier is based on the principle that a weak input signal given to a base region produces an amplified out signal in the collector region.
The input voltage signal`V_("i")` is connected between base and emitter through a capacitor `C_(1)` which filters d .cvoltage `V_(BB)` from going towards a . c input source . The output is taken from the collector resistance `R_(c)`. The capacitor `c_(2)` filters the dc voltage `V_( c c)` from the output signal `V_(0)`.
Applying kirchhoff 's second law on input loop
`V_(BB)=V_(BE)+I_(B)R_(B)`. . . (i)
Applying Kirchhoff 's second law on output loop
`V_(C C)=V_(CE)+I_(C)R_(C)` . . . (ii)
From equation (i) ,`V_(BB)+V_("i")=V_(BE)+(I_(B)+DeltaI_(B))R_(B)` . . . (iii)
Subtracting (i) from (iii) ,`V_("i")=DeltaI_(B)R_(B)rArrDeltaI_(B)=(V_("i"))/(R_(B))`

CHANGE in collector current`DeltaI_(c)=beta_(AC)=DeltaI_(B)=(beta_(ac)*V_("i"))/(R_(B))` . . . (iv)
Where ,`beta_(ac)=(DeltaI_(c))/(DeltaI_(B))=(I_(c))/(I_(B))`
From (ii) and (iv) ,Voltage gain`AV=(V_(0))/(V_("i"))=-beta_(ac)(R_(c))/(R_(B))`

Negative sign SHOWS that input and output signals differin phase by `pi` radian (out of phase).

Discuss the phenomenon of resonance in a LCR series a.c. circuit.

Answer»

Solution :We know that when an alternating voltage V=`V_(m) SIN omega t`is applied to a LCR series circuit, the current in the circuit is given by:
`I = V_(m)/sqrt(R^(2) + X_(L) - X_(C))^(2).sin(omegat-phi) = V_(m)/Z sin(omega t-phi)`
where impedance, `Z = sqrt(R^(2) + (X_(L)-X_(C))^(2))` and phase angle `phi = tan^(-1) (X_(L)-X_(C))/R`
If it so happens that `X_(L) = X_(C)`then Z=R= minimum and `phi = tan^(-1)(0)= 0^(@)`i.e., the current will have a maximum VALUE given by I = and will be in same phase as that of applied voltage. Such a situation is called the phenomenon of electrical resonance. For electrical resonance, the necessary CONDITION is:
`X_(L) = X_(C)` or `L omega_(0) = 1/(C omega_(0))`
Obviously as L and C are fixed for a circuit, resonance occurs for a PARTICULAR frequency known as "resonant frequency". `v_(0)`(or resonant ANGULAR frequency `omega_(0)` ) given by:
`Lomega_(0) = 1/(C omega_(0))` which leads us to `omega_(0) = 1/sqrt(LC)`
`rArr v_(0)=1/(C omega_(0)) =1/(2pi sqrt(LC))`

Answer»

<P>0°
30°
90°
180°

Solution :Here `VEC(p)=vec(p_(x))HATI + vec(p_(y))hatj=2costhati+2sinthatj`

`costheta=(-4sintcost + 4sintcost)/(Fxxp)`
`theta=90^@`

The displacemeent of a particle is given at time t by x = A sin(-2omega t) + B sin^(2)omegat. Then,

Answer»

the motion of the particle is SHM with an amplitude of `sqrt(A^(2) + B^(2)/4)`
the motion of the particle is not SHM, but OSCILLATORY with a TIME period of `T = pi/omega`.
the motion of the particle is oscillatory with a time period of `T = pi/(2 omega)`.
the motion of the particle is a not periodic

Solution :The displacement of the particle is given by `X = A sin(-2omega t) + B sin^(2) omega t`
`-A sin 2omega t + B/2 (1- cos2 omega t)`
`=(-A sin 2omegat + B/2 COS 2omegat) + B/2`
This motion represents SHM with an amplitude `sqrt(A^(2) + (B^(2)//4))`, and mean position of B/2.

(a) Explain, giving reasons, the basic difference in converting a galvanometer into (i) a voltmeter and (ii) an ammeter. (b) Two long straight parallel conductors carrying steady currents I_1 and I_2 are separeted by a distance 'd' . Explain briefly, with the help of a suitable diagram, how the magnetic field due to one conductor acts on the other. Hence, deduce the expression for the force acting between the two conductors. Mention the nature of this force.

Answer»

Solution :(a) (i) A galvanometer can be used as a VOLTMETER can be used as a voltmeter to measure the voltage across agiven section of an electric circuit. For this, it must be connected in a parallel with that section. Moreover, it must draw a very small CURRENT otherwise the voltage MEASUREMENT may disturb the original set up by a large amount. To ensure this, a large RESISTANCE R is connected is series with the galvanometer. If galvanometer has a resistance `R_G` and given full scale deflection for a current `I_g` then to convert it into a voltmeter of range 0 - V, we connect a resistance R in series so that
`V = I_g (R_G + R) implies R = V/(I_g) - R_G`
(ii) A galvanometer cannot be used as an ammeter to measure large currents because it is a very sensitive device giving full scale deflection for a small current `I_g` of the order of few microampere. Moreover, for MEASURING current the galvanometer should be connected in series. As galvanometer has large resistance, its joining in series affects the value of current in the circuit. To overcome these difficuilties , we attach a small shunt resistance `r_s` in parallel with the galvanometer coil. If we want to convert a galvanometer into an ammeter of range 0 - I, then value of shunt resistance
`r_s = (R_G cdot I_g)/(I - I_g)`
As net resistance of ammeter is extermely small, its presence in series does not affect the circuit current.
