        \n(a) Derive an expression for the torque experienced by a dipole due to a uniform electric field.
        \nAnswer:
        \n\"Tamil
        \nTorque experienced by an electric dipole in the uniform electric field: Consider an electric dipole of dipole moment \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{P}}\\) placed in a uniform electric field \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}}\\) whose field lines are equally spaced and point in the same direction. The charge +q will experience a force q \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}}\\) in the direction of the field and charge -q will experience a force -q \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}}\\) in a direction opposite to the field. Since the external field
        \n\\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}}\\) is uniform, the total force acting on the dipole is zero. These two forces acting at different points will constitute a couple and the dipole experience a torque. This torque tends to rotate the dipole. (Note that electric field lines of a uniform field are equally spaced and point in the same direction). The total torque on the dipole about the point O
        \n\\(\\vec{\\tau}=\\overrightarrow{O A} \\times(-q \\vec{E})+\\overrightarrow{O B} \\times q \\vec{E}\\)
        \nUsing right-hand corkscrew rule, it is found that total torque is perpendicular to the plane of the paper and is directed into it.
        \nThe magnitude of the total torque
        \n\\(\\vec{\\tau}=|\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{OA}}|(-q \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}}) \\sin \\theta+|\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{OB}} \\| q \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}}| \\sin \\theta\\)
        \n\\(\\vec{\\tau}\\) = qE 2a sin \u03b8
        \nwhere \u03b8 is the angle made by \\(\\vec{p}\\) with \\(\\vec{E}\\). Since p = 2aq, the torque is written in terms of the vector product as
        \n\\(\\vec{\\tau}=\\vec{p} \\times \\vec{E}\\)
        \nThe magnitude of this torque is \\(\\tau\\) =pE sin \u03b8 and is maximum when \u03b8 = 90\u00b0.
        \nThis torque tends to rotate the dipole and align it with the electric field \\(\\vec{E}\\) . Once \\(\\vec{p}\\) is aligned with \\(\\vec{E}\\), the total torque on the dipole becomes zero.<\/p>\n

        \n(b) Explain the determination of the internal resistance of a cell using voltmeter.
        \nAnswer:
        \n\"Tamil
        \nDetermination of internal resistance : The emf of cell \\(\\xi\\) is measured by connecting a high resistance voltmeter across it without connecting the external resistance R. Since the voltmeter draws very little current for deflection, the circuit may be considered as open. Hence, the voltmeter reading gives the emf of the cell. Then, external resistance R is included in the circuit and current I is established in the circuit. The potential difference across R is equal to the potential difference across the cell (V).
        \nThe potential drop across the resistor R is
        \nV = IR …………. (1)
        \nDue to internal resistance r of the cell, the voltmeter reads a value V, which is less than the emf of cell . It is because, certain amount of voltage (Ir) has dropped across the internal resistance r.
        \nThen V = \\(\\xi\\) – Ir
        \nIr = \\(\\xi\\) – V
        \nDividing equation (2) by equation (1). we get
        \n\\(\\begin{aligned}
        \n\\frac{I r}{I R} &=\\frac{\\xi-V}{V} \\\\
        \nr &=\\left|\\frac{\\xi-V}{V}\\right| R
        \n\\end{aligned}\\)

        \nAnswer:
        \nInduction of emf by changing the area of the coil: Consider a conducting rod of length 1 moving with a velocity v towards left on a rectangular metallic framework. The whole arrangement is placed in a uniform magnetic field B whose magnetic lines are perpendicularly directed into the plane of the paper. As the rod moves from AB to DC in a time dt , the area enclosed by the loop and hence the magnetic flux through the loop decreases.<\/p>\n

        Question 36.
        \n(a) Write down Maxwell equations in integral form.
        \nAnswer:
        \nMaxwell\u2019s equations in integral form: Electrodynamics can be summarized into four basic equations, known as Maxwell\u2019s equations. These equations are analogous to Newton\u2019s equations in mechanics. Maxwell\u2019s equations completely explain the behaviour of charges, currents and prop<\/p>\n

        1. First equation is nothing but the Gauss\u2019s law. It relates the net electric flux to net electric charge enclosed in a surface. Mathematically, it is expressed as
        \n\\(\\oint \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}} \\cdot d \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{A}}=\\frac{\\mathrm{Q}_{\\text {enclosed }}}{\\varepsilon_{0}}\\)
        \nWhere \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}}\\) is the electric field and Qenclosed<\/sub> is the charge enclosed. This equation is true for both discrete or continuous distribution of charges. It also indicates that the electric field lines start from positive charge and terminate at negative charge. This implies that the electric field lines do not form a continuous closed path. In other words, it means that isolated positive charge or negative charge can exist.<\/p>\n

        2. Second equation has no name. But this law is similar to Gauss\u2019s law in electrostatics. So this law can also be called as Gauss\u2019s law in magnetism. The surface integral of ‘ magnetic field over a closed surface is zero. Mathematically,
        \n\\(\\oint \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{B}} \\cdot d \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{A}}=0\\)
        \nwhere \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{B}}\\) is the magnetic field. This equation implies that the magnetic lines of force form a continuous closed path. In other words, it means that no isolated magnetic monopole exists.<\/p>\n

        3. Third equation is Faraday\u2019s law of electromagnetic induction. This law relates electric field with the changing magnetic flux which is mathematically written as
        \n\\(\\oint \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}} \\cdot d \\vec{l}=\\frac{d}{d t} \\Phi_{\\mathrm{B}}\\)
        \nwhere \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}}\\) is the electric field. This equation implies that the line integral of the electric field around any closed path is equal to the rate of change of magnetic flux through the closed path bounded by the surface.<\/p>\n

        4. Fourth equation is modified Ampere\u2019s circuital law. This is also known as ampere Maxwell\u2019s law. This law relates the magnetic field around any closed path to the conduction current and displacement current through that path.
        \n\\(\\oint \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{B}} \\cdot d \\vec{l}=\\mu_{0} \\mathrm{I}_{\\text {enclosed }}+\\mu_{0} \\varepsilon_{0} \\int \\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{E}} \\cdot \\overrightarrow{d \\mathrm{A}}\\)
        \nWhere \\(\\overrightarrow{\\mathrm{B}}\\) is the magnetic field. This equation shows that both conduction and also displacement current produces magnetic field. These four equations are known as Maxwell\u2019s equations in electrodynamics.<\/p>\n

Let R1<\/sub> and R2<\/sub> be the radii of curvature of two spherical surfaces (1) and (2) respectively and P be the pole. Consider a point object O on the principal axis. The ray which falls very close to P, after refraction at the surface (1) forms image at I\u2019. Before it does so, it is again refracted by the surface (2). Therefore the final image is formed at I. The general equation for the refraction at a spherical surface is given by

        \n\"Tamil
        \nIf the refractive index of the lens is n2<\/sub> and it is placed in air, then n2<\/sub> = n and n1<\/sub> = 1. So the equation (4) becomes,
        \n\\(\\frac{1}{f}=(n-1)\\left(\\frac{1}{\\mathrm{R}_{1}}-\\frac{1}{\\mathrm{R}_{2}}\\right)\\)<\/p>\n

        The above equation is called the lens maker\u2019s formula, because it tells the lens manufactures what curvature is needed to make a lens of desired focal length with a material of particular refractive index. This formula holds good also for a concave lens. By comparing the equations (3) and (4) we can write,
        \n\\(\\frac{1}{v}-\\frac{1}{u}=\\frac{1}{f}\\) ……… (6)
        \nThis equation is known as lens equation which relates the object distance it and image distance v with the focal length \/ of the lens. This formula holds good for a any type of lens.<\/p>\n

        \nAnswer:
        \nHertz observation:<\/p>\n

          \n
        • In 1887, Heinrich Hertz first became successful in generating and detecting electromagnetic wave with his high voltage induction coil to cause a spark discharge between two metallic spheres.<\/li>\n
        • When a spark is formed, the charges will oscillate back and forth rapidly and the electromagnetic waves are produced.<\/li>\n
        • The electromagnetic waves thus produced were detected by a detector that has a copper wire bent in the shape of a circle. Although the detection of waves is successful, there is a problem in observing the tiny spark produced in the detector.<\/li>\n
        • In order to improve the visibility of the spark, Hertz made many attempts and finally noticed an important thing that small detector spark became more vigorous when it was exposed to ultraviolet light.<\/li>\n
        • The reason for this behaviour of the spark was not known at that time. Later it was found that it is due to the photoelectric emission.<\/li>\n
        • Whenever ultraviolet light is incident on the metallic sphere, the electrons on the outer surface are emitted which caused the spark to be more vigorous.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            \n
          • In 1888, Wilhelm Hallwachs, a German physicist, confirmed that the strange behaviour of the spark is due to the action of ultraviolet light with his simple experiment.<\/li>\n
          • A clean circular plate of zinc is mounted on an insulating stand and is attached to a gold leaf electroscope by a wire. When the uncharged zinc plate is irradiated by ultraviolet light from an arc lamp, it becomes positively charged and the leaves will open.<\/li>\n
          • Further, if the negatively charged zinc plate is exposed to ultraviolet light, the leaves will close as the charges leaked away quickly. If the plate is positively charged, it becomes more positive upon UV rays irradiation and the leaves will open further.<\/li>\n
          • From these observations, it was concluded that negatively charged electrons were emitted from the zinc plate under the action of ultraviolet light.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

            Lenard,s observation:
            \n1. In 1902, Lenard studied this electron emission phenomenon in detail. The apparatus consists of two metallic plates A and C placed in an evacuated quartz bulb. The galvanometer G and battery B are connected in the circuit.<\/p>\n

            2. When ultraviolet light is incident on the negative plate C, an electric current flows in the circuit that is indicated by the deflection in the galvanorneter. On other hand, if the positive plate is irradiated by
            \nthe ultraviolet light, no current is observed in the circuit.<\/p>\n

            3. From these observations, it is concluded that when ultraviolet light falls on the negative plate. electrons are ejected from it which are attracted by the positive plate A. On reaching the positive plate through the evacuated bulb, the circuit is completed and the current flows in it.<\/p>\n

            4. Thus, the ultraviolet light falling on the negative plate causes the electron emission from
            \nthe surface of the plate.

            Question 37.
            \n(b) Obtain the law of radioactivity.
            \nLaw of radioactive decay:
            \nAt any instant t, the number of decays per unit time, called rate of decay \\(\\left(\\frac{d \\mathrm{N}}{d t}\\right)\\) is proportional to the number of nuclei (N ) at the same instant.

            Here proportionality constant X is called decay constant which is different for different radioactive sample and the negative sign in the equation implies that the N is decreasing with time. By rewriting the equation (1), we get
            \ndN = -\u03bb Ndt …………(2)<\/p>\n

            Here dN represents the number of nuclei decaying in the time interval dt. Let us assume that at time t = 0 s, the number of nuclei present in the radioactive sample is N0<\/sub> . By integrating the equation (2), we can calculate the number of undecayed nuclei N at any time t.

            Equation (4) is called the law of radioactive decay. Here N denotes the number of undecayed nuclei present at any time t and N0 denotes the number of nuclei at initial time I = O. Note that the number of atoms is decreasing exponentially over the time. This implies that the time taken for all the radioactive nuclei to decay will be infinite. Equation (4) is plotted.
            \nWe can also define another useful quantity called activity (R) or decay rate which is the number of nuclei decayed per second and it is denoted as R = \\(\\left|\\frac{d \\mathbf{N}}{d t}\\right|\\)
            \nNote: that activity R is a positive quantity. From equation (4), we get

            \nwhere R0<\/sub> = \u03bbN0
            \n<\/sub>The equation (6) is also equivalent to radioactive law of decay. Here RQ is the activity of the sample at t = 0 and R is the activity of the sample at any time t. From equation (6), activity also shows exponential decay behavior. The activity R also can be expressed in terms of number of undecayed atoms present at any time t. From equation (6), since N = N0<\/sub> e-\u03bbt<\/sup> we write
            \nR = \u03bbN …………..(7)
            \nEquation (4) implies that the activity at any time t is equal to the product of decay constant and number of undecayed nuclei at the same time t. Since N decreases over time, R also decreases.<\/p>\n

            Question 38.
            \n(a) Describe the function of a transistor as an amplifier with the neat circuit diagram. Sketch the input and output wave form.
            \nAnswer:
            \nTransistor as an amplifier:
            \nA transistor operating in the active region has the capability to amplify weak signals. Amplification is the process of increasing the signal strength (increase in the amplitude). If a large amplification is required, the transistors are cascaded with coupling elements like resistors, capacitors, and transformers which is called as multistage amplifiers.<\/p>\n

            Here, the amplification of an electrical signal is explained with a single stage transistor amplifier as shown in figure (a). Single stage indicates that the circuit consists of one transistor with the allied components. An NPN transistor is connected in the common emitter configuration.
            \n\"Tamil
            \nTo start with, the Q point or the operating point of the transistor is fixed so as to get the maximum signal swing at the output (neither towards saturation point nor towards cut-off). A load resistance, Rc<\/sub> is connected in series with the collector circuit to measure the output voltage. The capacitor C1<\/sub> allows only the ac signal to pass through. The emitter bypass capacitor CE provides a low reactance path to the amplified ac signal. The coupling capacitor Cc<\/sub> is used to couple one stage of the amplifier with the next stage while constructing multistage amplifiers. Vs<\/sub> is the sinusoidal input signal source applied across the base-emitter. The output is taken across the collector-emitter.
            \n\"Tamil
            \nApplying Kirchhoff \u2019s voltage law in the output loop, the collector-emitter voltage is given by
            \nVCE<\/sub> = VCC<\/sub> – IC<\/sub> RC<\/sub><\/p>\n

            Working of the amplifier:
            \nDuring the positive half cycle
            \nInput signal (Vs<\/sub>) increases the forward voltage across the emitter-base. As a result, the base current (IB<\/sub>) increases. Consequently, the collector current (IC<\/sub>) increases p times. This increases the voltage drop across RC<\/sub> which in mm decreases the collector-emitter voltage (VCE<\/sub>). Therefore, the input signal in the positive direction produces an amplified signal in the negative direction at the output. Hence, the output signal is reversed by 180\u00b0 as shown in figure (b).<\/p>\n

            During the negative half cycle
            \nInput signal (Vs<\/sub>) decreases the forward voltage across the emitter-base. As a result, base current (IB<\/sub>) decreases and in turn increases the collector current (IC<\/sub>). The increase in collector current (IC<\/sub>) decreases the potential drop across Rc<\/sub> and increases the collector-emitter voltage ( VCE<\/sub>). Thus, the input signal in the negative direction produces an amplified signal in the positive direction at the output. Therefore, 180\u00b0 phase reversal is observed during the negative half cycle of the input signal.<\/p>\n

            Question 38.
            \n(b) Explain the three modes of propagation of electromagnetic waves through space.
            \nAnswer:
            \nPropagation of electromagnetic waves:
            \nThe electromagnetic wave transmitted by the transmitter travels in three different modes to reach the receiver according to its frequency range:
            \n1. Ground wave propagation (or) surface wave propagation (nearly 2 kHz to 2 MHz)
            \n2. Sky wave propagation (or) ionospheric propagation (nearly 3 MHz to 30 MHz)
            \n3. Space wave propagation (nearly 30 MHz to 400 GHz)<\/p>\n

            1. Ground wave propagation:
            \nIf the electromagnetic waves transmitted by the transmitter glide over the surface of the earth to reach the receiver, then the propagation is called ground wave propagation. The corresponding waves are called ground waves or surface waves.<\/p>\n

            Both transmitting and receiving antennas must be close to the earth. The size of the antenna plays a major role in deciding the efficiency of the radiation of signals. During transmission, the electrical signals are attenuated over a distance. Some reasons for attenuation are as follows:
            \n\"Tamil
            \nIncreasing distance: The attenuation of the signal depends on<\/p>\n

              \n
            • power of the transmitter<\/li>\n
            • frequency of the transmitter, and<\/li>\n
            • condition of the earth surface.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

              Absorption of energy by the Earth: When the transmitted signal in the form of EM wave is in contact with the Earth, it induces charges in the Earth and constitutes a current. Due to this, the earth behaves like a leaky capacitor which leads to the attenuation of the wave.<\/p>\n

              Tilting of the wave: As the wave progresses, the wavefront starts gradually tilting according to the curvature of the Earth. This increase in the ti It decreases the electric field strength of the wave. Finally, at some distance, the surface wave dies out due to energy loss.<\/p>\n

              The frequency of the ground waves is mostly less than 2 MHz as high frequency waves undergo more absorption of energy at the earth\u2019s atmosphere. The medium wave signals received during the day time use surface wave propagation.<\/p>\n

              It is mainly used in local broadcasting, radio navigation, for ship-to-ship, ship-to-shore communication and mobile communication.<\/p>\n

              2. Sky Wave Propagation:
              \nThe mode of propagation in which the electromagnetic waves radiated from an antenna, directed upwards at large angles gets reflected by the ionosphere back to earth is called sky wave propagation or ionospheric propagation. The corresponding waves are called sky waves.<\/p>\n

              The frequency range of EM waves in this mode of propagation is 3 to 30 MHz. EM waves of frequency more than 30 MHz can easily penetrate through the ionosphere and does not undergo reflection. It is used for short wave broadcast services. Medium and high frequencies are for long-distance radio communication. Extremely long distance communication is also possible as the radio waves can undergo multiple reflections between the earth and the ionosphere. A single reflection helps the radio waves to travel a distance of approximately 4000 km.
              \n\"Tamil
              \nIonosphere acts as a reflecting surface. It is at a distance of approximately 50 km and spreads up to 400 km above the Earth surface. Due to the absorption of ultraviolet rays, cosmic ray, and other high energy radiations like a, p rays from sun, the air molecules in the ionosphere get ionized. This produces charged ions and these ions provide a reflecting medium for the reflection of radio waves or communication waves back to earth within the permitted frequency range. The phenomenon of bending the radio waves back to earth is nothing but the total internal reflection.<\/p>\n

              3. Space wave propagation:
              \nThe process of sending and receiving information signal through space is called space wave communication. The electromagnetic waves of very high frequencies above 30 MHz are called as space waves. These waves travel in a straight line from the transmitter to the receiver. Hence, it is used for a line of sight communication (LOS).
              \n\"Tamil
              \nFor high frequencies, the transmission towers must be high enough so that the transmitted and received signals (direct waves) will not encounter the curvature of the earth and hence travel with less attenuation and loss of signal strength. Certain waves reach the receiver after getting reflected from the ground.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
