  • Question 1
    1 / -0

    A capacitor is made of two square plates each of side ‘a’ making a very small angle a between them, as shown in figure. The capacitance will be close to:

    Solution

    Consider an infinitesimal strip of capacitor of thickness \(\mathrm{dx}\) at a distance \(x\) as shown.

    Capacitance of parallel plate capacitor of area \(\mathrm{A}\) is given by

    \(\mathrm{C}=\frac{\varepsilon_0 \mathrm{~A}}{\mathrm{t}}\)

    [Here \(t=\) seperation between plates]

    So, capacitance of thickness \(\mathrm{dx}\) will be

    \(\therefore \mathrm{dC}=\frac{\varepsilon_0 \mathrm{ad} \mathrm{x}}{\mathrm{d}+\mathrm{x} \tan \alpha}\)

    Total capacitance of system can be obtained by integrating with

    limits \(x=0\) to \(x=a\)

    \(\therefore \mathrm{C}_{\text {eq }}=\int \mathrm{d} C=a \varepsilon_0 \int_{\mathrm{x}=0}^{x=\mathrm{a}} \frac{\mathrm{dx}}{\mathrm{xtan} \alpha+\mathrm{d}}\) [By Binomial expansion]

    \(\Rightarrow C_{e q}=\frac{\mathrm{a} \varepsilon_0}{\mathrm{~d}} \int_0^{\mathrm{a}}\left(1-\frac{\mathrm{x} \tan \alpha}{\mathrm{d}}\right) \mathrm{dx}=\frac{\mathrm{a} \varepsilon_0}{\mathrm{~d}}\left(\mathrm{x}-\frac{\mathrm{x}^2 \tan \alpha}{2 \mathrm{~d}}\right)_0^2\)

    \(\Rightarrow C_{e q}=\frac{a^2 \varepsilon_0}{d}=\left(1-\frac{a \tan \alpha}{2 d}\right)=\frac{\varepsilon_0 a^2}{d}\left(1-\frac{\alpha a}{2 d}\right)\)

  • Question 2
    1 / -0

    What is the force between two small charged spheres having charges of \(2 × 10^{–7}\)C and \(3 × 10^{–7}\) C placed 30 cm apart in the air?

    Solution

    Given,

    The Charge on the \(1^{\text {st }}\) sphere and \(2^{\text {nd }}\) sphere is \(q_1=2\times10^{-7} \mathrm{C}\) and \(\mathrm{q}_2=3 \times 10^{-7} \mathrm{C}\)

    The distance between two charges is given by \(r=30 \mathrm{~cm}=0.3 \mathrm{~m}\)

    The electrostatic force between the spheres is given by the relation:

    \(\mathrm{F}=\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0} \cdot \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}\)

    Here,

    \(\epsilon_o=\) permittivity of free space and,

    \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_o}=9 \times 10^9\mathrm{~Nm}^2 \mathrm{C}^{-2}\)

    Force, \(\mathrm{F}=\frac{9 \times 10^9 \times 2 \times 10^{-7} \times 3 \times 10^{-7}}{(0.3)^2}=6 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~N}\).

    The force between the charges will be repulsive as they have the same nature.

  • Question 3
    1 / -0

    Find the acceleration of B.

    Solution

    Free body diagram of the system,

    As the acceleration along normal to surface in contact shall be same.

    \(a \cos \alpha_{1}=a_{B} \cos \alpha_{2}\)

    \(a_{B}=\frac{a \cos \alpha_{1}}{\cos \alpha_{2}}\)

  • Question 4
    1 / -0

    A block of weight W rests on a horizontal floor with coefficient of static friction µ. It is desired to make the block move by applying minimum amount of force. The angle θ from the horizontal at which the force should be applied and magnitude of the force F are respectively.

    Solution

    Let the force F is applied at an angle θ with the horizontal.

    For horizontal equilibrium,

    \(\mathrm{F} \cos \theta=\mu \mathrm{R} \text {.............(i)}\)

    For vertical equilibrium,

    \(R+F \sin \theta=m g\)

    or, \(R=m g-F \sin \theta\text {.............(ii)}\)

    Substituting this value of \(R\) in eq. (i), we get

    \(F \cos \theta=\mu(m g-F \sin \theta) \)

    \(=\mu m g-\mu F \sin \theta\)

    or, \(\mathrm{F}(\cos \theta+\mu \sin \theta)=\mu \mathrm{mg}\)

    or, \(\mathrm{F}=\frac{\mu \mathrm{mg}}{\cos \theta+\mu \sin \theta}\)

    For \(F\) to be minimum, the denominator \((\cos \theta+\mu \sin \theta)\) should be maximum.

    \(\therefore \frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d} \theta}(\cos \theta+\mu \sin \theta)=0\)

    or, \(-\sin \theta+\mu \cos \theta=0\)

    or, \(\tan \theta=\mu\)

    or, \(\theta=\tan ^{-1}(\mu)\)

    Then, \(\sin \theta=\frac{\mu}{\sqrt{1+\mu^2}}\) and

    \(\cos \theta=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\mu^2}}\)

    Hence, \(\mathrm{F}_{\min }=\frac{\mu \mathrm{w}}{\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+\mu^2}}+\frac{\mu^2}{\sqrt{1+\mu^2}}}=\frac{\mu \mathrm{w}}{\sqrt{1+\mu^2}}\)

  • Question 5
    1 / -0

    What amount of heat must be supplied to \(2.0 \times 10^{-2} kg\) of Nitrogen (at room temperature) to raise its temperature by \(45^{\circ} C\) at constant pressure? (Molecular mass of \(\left.N_{2}=28 ; R=8.3 J m o l^{-1} K^{-1} .\right)\)

    Solution

    Given that,

    Mass of Nitrogen, \(m=2.0 \times 10^{-2} kg =20 g\).

    Rise in temperature, \(\Delta T=45^{\circ} C\).

    Molecular mass of \(N_{2}, M=28\)

    Universal gas constant, \(R=8.3 J \operatorname{mol}^{-1} K^{-1}\)

    Number of moles, \(n=\frac{m}{M}\)

    \(n=\frac{2 \times 10^{-2} \times 10^{3}}{28}\)

    \( n=0.714\)

    Now, molar specific heat at constant pressure for nitrogen,

    \(C_{p}=\frac{7}{2} R \)

    \(C_{p}=\frac{7}{2} \times 8.3 \)

    \( C_{p}=29.05 J mol ^{-1} K ^{-1}\)

    The total amount of heat to be supplied is given by the relation:

    \(\Delta Q=n C_{p} \Delta T \)

    \(\Delta Q=0.714 \times 29.05 \times 45 \)

    \( \Delta Q=933.38 J\)

    Clearly, the amount of heat to be supplied is \(933.38 J\).

  • Question 6
    1 / -0

    A stone dropped from the top of a tower reaches ground in \(4 \mathrm{~s}\). Height of the tower is \(\left(g=10 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\right)\)

    Solution

    As,

    \(h=u t+\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}\)

    Here, \(u=0, g=10 m s^{-2}, t=4 s\)

    \(\therefore h=0 \times 4+\frac{1}{2} \times 10 \times 4^{2}=80\)m

  • Question 7
    1 / -0

    In a potentiometer, for a cell of emf \(1.5 {~V}\), the balance point is obtained at \(42.0 {~cm}\) length. If the cell is replaced by another cell, the balance point is obtained at \(63.0 {~cm}\) length. Find the emf of the second cell.

    Solution

    Given,

    Emf of the cell, \({E}_{1}=1.5 {V}\)

    Balance point of the potentiometer, \(l_{1}=42 {~cm}\)

    The cell is replaced by another cell of emf \({E}_{2}\).

    New balance point of the potentiometer, \(l_{2}=63 {~cm}\)

    The balance condition is given by the relation, 

    \(\frac{E_{1}}{E_{2}}=\frac{l_{1}}{l_{2}}\)

    \({E}_{2}={E}_{1} \times \frac{{l}_{2}}{l_{1}}=1.5 \times \frac{63}{42}=2.25 {~V}\)

    Therefore, emf of the second cell is \(2.25 {~V}\).

  • Question 8
    1 / -0

    What is the effect on the interference fringes in Young's double slit experiment if the width of the source slit is increased?

    Solution

    When the widths of the two slits are increased, the fringes become brighter. However, the width of each slit should be considerably smaller than the separation between the slits. When the slits become so wide that this condition is not satisfied, the interference pattern disappears i.e., The fringes become less distinct.

  • Question 9
    1 / -0

    An infinite line charge produces a field of \(9 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{C}\) at a distance of \(2 \mathrm{~cm}\). Calculate the linear charge density.

    Solution

    Electric field produced by the infinite line charges at a distance \(d\) having linear charge density \(\lambda\) is given by the relation,

    \(E=\frac{\lambda}{2 \pi \epsilon_0 d}\)

    \(\lambda=2 \pi \epsilon_0 d E\)

    Here,

    \(d=2 \mathrm{~cm}=0.02 \mathrm{~m} \)

    \(E=9 \times 10^4 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{C}\)

    \(\varepsilon_0=\) Permittivity of free space and \(\frac{1}{4 \pi \epsilon_0}=9 \times10^9 \mathrm{~Nm}^2 \mathrm{C}^{-2}\)

    So,

    \(\lambda=\frac{0.02 \times 9 \times 10^4}{2 \times 9 \times 10^9}\)

    \(\lambda=10 ~\mu \mathrm{C / m}\)
