5. What are the advantages of heating effect of current? |
|
Answer» Advantages of Heating effect of current: 1. The heating effect of electric current is put to good use in room heaters and water heating coils where electricity is converted into heat energy. 2. An electric bulb also exploits the effect. The filament of the bulb is made of Tungsten metal, which glows when heated by the electric current flowing through it, thus giving out light. 3. An electric fuse also uses the heating effect of electric current. A fuse is rated for a specific amperage. When the current through it exceeds its rating, the heat produced melts the fuse wire thus opening the circuit. |

Answer» Magnetic Fieldis said to exist in a region if a (Magnetic) Force can be exerted on aMagnet.Magnetic FieldLines (Flux Lines) are imaginary lines representing the direction and strength of theMagnetic Field. ... When placing like Poles of twoMagnetstogether, theMagnetsrepel each other, Figure 2 Amagnetic fieldis the area around amagnet,magneticobject, or an electric charge in whichmagneticforce is exerted.” Let's put it this way. The invisible area around amagneticobject that can pull anothermagneticobject toward it or push anothermagneticobject away from it is called amagnetic field.

(a)Explain Halogen Lamp. |
|
Answer» A halogen lamp is an incandescent light source. It consists of a tungsten filament, enclosed in an environment of an inert gas and a small amount of a halogen (bromine or iodine). The combination of the tungsten filament and the halogen results in a chemical reaction called the halogen cycle, which increases the lifetime of the filament. Halogen lamps are widely used in optical systems, mainly due to their compact size and efficient casting of light. Enhancements in the design of the halogen lamps, such as the provision of integral reflectors, enable redirection of light into the illumination system in an orderly manner. This datasheet will look into the working, construction, and application areas of these lamps. |

Derive formula for charging and discharging of a capacitor. |

Derive formula for charging and discharging of a capacitor |
|
Answer» It's a pretty straightforward process. There are three steps: Write a KVL equation. Because there's a capacitor, this will be a differential equation.Solve the differential equation to get a general solution.Apply the initial condition of the circuit to get the particular solution. In this case, the conditions tell us whether the capacitor will charge or discharge.Let's go through this. Instead of using an actual step function, I'm going to use a DC input and assume the capacitor starts out discharged. First, you write a KVL equation: Vi=vR+vCIn circuit analysis, we like to use current instead of charge. So instead of Q=CV, we use i=CdVdt. The resistor and capacitor share the same current, so: iR=iC=CdvCdtYou can put this into the KVL equation: vR=RiR=RiC=RCdvCdtVi=RCdvCdt+vCThis is a first-order linear differential equation. Using, some algebra, you can rearrange it into a solvable form: RCdvCdt=Vi−vcdvCVi−vC=dtRCIntegrating both sides gives: −ln(Vi−vC)=tRC+C0You can get rid of the ln by moving the negative sign and making both sides a power of e: Vi−vC=e−t/RC+C0=e−t/RCeC0C0 is a constant of integration, so eC0 is also a constant. Let's rename it to C1 for convenience: Vi−vC=C1e−t/RCThe differential equation is solved, but there's still an unknown (C1). You can find its value if you know the initial condition of the circuit. In this case, I said that the capacitor started out discharged (vC=0 at t=0), so let's use that: Vi−0=C1e−0/RC=C1⋅1C1=ViNow you can find the fully-solved equation: Vi−vC=Vie−t/RCvC=Vi−Vie−t/RCvC=Vi(1−e−t/RC)Is this correct? At t=0, you have: vC=Vi(1−1)=0and at t=∞, you have: vC=Vi(1−0)=ViSo the capacitor starts out discharged, ends up fully-charged, and in between there's an exponential decay. That's correct! For the discharge, Vi=0 and the initial condition is that the capacitor is charged to a nonzero value, which I'll call V0. You can use these to solve for C1 again: 0−V0=C1e−0/RCC1=−V0−vC=−V0e−t/RCvC=V0e−t/RC |

Q.1.12.Whatistheadvantageofusingaconcavemirror(in place of convex lens) as objective in a telescope? |
|
Answer» The reflector telescope uses a mirror to gather and focus light. All celestial objects (including those in our solar system) are so far away that all of the light rays coming from them reach the Earth as parallel rays. Because the light rays are parallel to each other, the reflector telescope's mirror has a parabolic shape. The parabolic-shaped mirror focusses the parallel lights rays to a single point. All modern research telescopes and large amateur ones are of the reflector type because of its advantages over the refractor telescope.Advantages Reflector telescopes do not suffer from chromatic aberration because all wavelengths will reflect off the mirror in the same way. Support for the objective mirror is all along the back side so they can be made very BIG! Reflector telescopes are cheaper to make than refractors of the same size. Because light is reflecting off the objective, rather than passing through it, only one side of the reflector telescope's objective needs to be perfect. thankyou |

) Explain the working of an astronomical telescope usingrefraction of light. |
|
Answer» A parallel beam of light from a heavenly body such as stars, planets or satellites fall on the objective lens of the telescope. The objective lens forms a real, inverted and diminished image A’B’ of the heavenly body. This image (A’B’) now acts as an object for the eye piece E, whose position is adjusted so that the image lies between the focus fe’ and the optical centre C2 of the eye piece. Now the eye piece forms a virtual, inverted and highly magnified image of object at infinity. When the final image of an object is formed at infinity, the telescope is said to be in ‘normal adjustment’. It should be noted that, the final image of object (such as stars, planets or satellites) formed by an astronomical telescope is always inverted with respect to the object. But it does not matter whether the image formed by an astronomical telescope is inverted or not, as all the heavenly bodies are usually spherical is shape. |

|
Answer» Earthquakes are tremors or shaking of the earth which lasts for a short time. It can cause the ground to tremble and shake. They occur all the time at different places around the earth. Earthquake can occur on land or under the sea floor. They occur at different intensities, some being strong, most being weak. Strong earthquakes can damage buildings, roads, dams and other constructions and can make them fall. Due to this many people can get hurt or killed. Earthquakes also cause landslides, flood and tsunamis when they occur. |
