When a coil joined to a cell, the current through the coil grows with a time constant tau . After what time, the current will reach 10% of its steady-state value ?

Answer»

Solution :Given by `i=i_0 (1-E^(t/TAU)), (i_0)/(10) = i_0 (1-e^(t/tau)) , 9/10 = e^(-t/tau)`
`10/9 = e^(t/tau) ` , applying log on both sides
`ln(10/9) = t/tau , t = tau ln (10/9)`

The radius of earth is about 6400 km and that of mars is 3200 km. The mass of the earth is about 10 times mass of mars. An object weighs 200 N on the surface of earth. Its weight on the surface of mars will be

Answer»

20 N
8 h
80 N
40 N

Solution :Radius of earth `(R_(e ))=6400" km"`,
Radius of mars `(R_(m))=3200" km"`, Mass of earth `(M_(e ))=10 M_(m)`
and weight of the object on earth `(W_(e ))=200" N"`.
`(W_(m))/(W_(e ))=(mg_(m))/(mg_(e ))=(M_(m))/(M_(e ))xx((R_(e ))/(R_(m)))^(2)=(1)/(10)xx(2)^(2)=(4)/(10)=(2)/(5)`
or`W_(m)=W_(e )xx(2)/(5)=200xx0.4=80" N"`.

Ground/ surface wave propagation is a mode of propagation in which the signal wave glides over thesurface of earth, while going from transmitter to receiver. In this mode, there is a loss of power (i.e., attenuation) of signal wave due to diffraction and absorption of signal wave energy by ground. The attenuation of ground / surface wave signal increases very rapidly with the increase in its frequency. Therefore, the ground/ surface wave propagation is not suitable for the propagation of high frequency signal wave and for very long range communication. Read the above passage and answer the following questions: (i) What is the frequency range of a signal wave employed for the ground wave propagation? (ii) For what purpose the ground wave propagation is used? (iii) What does the study of ground wave propagation imply in day to day life?

Answer»

SOLUTION :(i) For ground wave propagation, the frequency range of signal wave is `530 kHz "to" 1710 kHz.`
(ii) The ground wave propagation is used for local BROADCASTING as a medium wave broadcast service.
(iii) In day to day life, the ground wave propagation can be compared to the movement of a small child ALONG the
surface of ground. As child can go only upto certain distance on ground and GETS exhausted, similarly the
ground wave frequency signal loses its energy while gliding over the surface, of earth and HENCE can go up to
limited distance. As ground wave propagation is for local broadcasting, similarly, the small child movement
is confined with in home under the supervision of some elders.

Two identical capacitors of plate dimensions l xx b and plate separation 'd' have dielectric slabs filled in between the space of the plates as shown in Fig Obtain the relation between the dielectric constants K , K_1 and K_2.

Answer»

Solution :For capacitor shown in FIG area of each plate of capacitor `A_1 = lb` and capacitance `C_1 = (K in_(0) A_(1))/(d)`
The capacitor shown in Fig is equivalent to two capacitors each of plate area `A_(2) = (l)/(2).b = (lb)/(2) = (A_(1))/(2)` but FILLED with dielectrics of dielectric constants `K_1` and `K_2` respectively JOINED in series . Therefore , net capacitance of this arrangement is
`C_(2) = (K_(1) in_(0) (A_(1)//2))/(d) + (K_(2) in_(0) (A_(1)//2))/(d) = (in_0 A_(1))/(d) [ (K_(1) + K_(2))/(2)]`
Since `C_(1) = C_(2)` hence we CONCLUDE that `(K in_(0) A_(1))/(d) = (in_(0) A_(1))/(d) [ (K_(1) + K_(2))/(2)] implies K= (K_(1) + K_(2))/(2)`

Explain n and p-type semiconductor based on band theory.

Answer»

Solution :In EXTRINSIC semiconductor because of the abundance of majority current carriers the minority carriers produced thermally have more chance of meeting majority carriers and thus getting destroyed and indirectly helps to REDUCE the intrinsic concentration of minority carriers.
The semiconductor.senergy band structureis affected by doping. In extrinsic semiconductor, additionalenergy states due to donor impurities `E_(D)` and acceptor impurities `E_(A)` also exist.
In n-type of Si semiconductor, the donor energy level `E_(D)` is slightly below the bottom `E_(C )` of the CONDUCTION band and electrons from this level move into the conduction band with very small of energy.
At room temperature most of donor atoms get ionised but very few `(~10^(12))` atoms of Si get ionised so the conduction band will have most electrons coming from the donor impurities as shown in figure (a).

For p-type semiconductor the acceptor energy level `E_(A)` is slightly above the top `E_(V)` of the valence band. With very small supply of energy an electron from the valence band can jump to the level `E_(A)` and ionise the acceptor negatively.
In other words,withvery small supply of energy the hole from level `E_(A)` sinks down into the valence band `E_(V)` and electron comes up. This is shown in figure (b).

At room temperature, most of the acceptor atoms get ionised leaving holes in the valence band `E_(V)`.
Thus, at room temperaturethe density of holes in the valence band is mostly due to impurity in the extrinsic semiconductor.
The above description is grossly approximate and hypothetical it helps in understanding the difference between metals, insulators and semiconductors (extrinsic and intrinsic) in a simple manner.
The energy difference between `E_(V)` and `E_(C )` for C (diamond) is 5.4 eV, for Si is 1.1 eV and for Ge it is 0.7 eV and Sn is also a GROUP IV element but it is a metal because the energygap in its case is 0 eV.

A lens having focal length f and aperture of diameter d forms an image of intensity I. Aperture of diameter (d)/(2) is central region of lens is covered by a black paper. Focal length of lens and intensity of image now will be respectively.

Answer»

`f and (3I)/(4)`
`(f)/(2) and (I)/(2)`
`f and (I)/(4)`
`2f`

Solution :When a part of LENS aperture is covered by a black paper, the focal length of lens remains UNCHANGED. However, when central portion of diameter `(d)/(2)` is covered out of diameter d, then area `A.=(1)/(4)pi((d)/(2))^(2)=(1)/(4)A` is blackened and light rays can PAS through remaining area `A-A.=(3)/(4)A`. Hence, INTENSITY of final image is `(2I)/(4)`.

A tiny particle of mass4 mugis kept over a large horizontal sheet of charge density4 xx 10 ^(-6)Cm ^(-1)What charge should be given to the particle so that if released it does not fall down?

Answer»

Solution :Let charge q be GIVEN to the particle. As particle close not fall, hence downward weight of particle mg = upward force due to electric field of charged plate ` q_E =q . (SIGMA)/( 2 in _0) `
` therefore "" q= ( 2 mg in_0)/( sigma ) `
Here , m ` mug= 5 XX 10 ^(-6) g = 5 xx 10 ^(-9) kg , sigma= 4 xx 10 ^(-6)C m^(-1) `
` therefore"" q= ( 2xx 5 xx 10 ^(-9)xx 9.81 xx 8.85 xx 10 ^(-12)) /( 4 xx 10 ^(-6)) = 2.17 xx 10 ^(-13)C . `
