$i=\dfrac {dQ}{dt}$

According to question:

$\Rightarrow dQ=idt\Rightarrow Q=\displaystyle \int_{r_1}^{r_2}idt =\displaystyle \int_{0}^{5}(1.2t+3)dt$

$=\left[\dfrac {1.2t^2}{2}+3t \right]_0^5 =30\ C$

Explanation

The voltage of the battery

$V_1=10 \ V$ and that of the battery

$V_2=4 \ V$ get added as they are connected in series with same polarity.

Net emf

$V_{net}=10\,V+4\,V=14\,V$

The resistances

$1 \Omega, 3 \Omega$ and

$2 \Omega$ are connected in series.

Total resistance

$R_{series}=1+3+2=6\Omega$

By Ohm's law,

$V_{net}=IR_{series}$

$\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{V_{net}}{R_{series}}$

Hence, Current

$I=\dfrac {14}{6}=2.3\,A$

For the direction of current, we can see net emf is in the same sense of the individual batteries because

$10\,V$ battery and

$4\,V$ battery are connected back-to-back. So

$2.3\,A$ current will flow in the direction

$A$ to

$B$ via

$E$ .

A short-circuited coil is placed in a time-varying magnetic field. Electrical power is dissipated due to the current induced in the coil. If the number of turns was to be quadrupled and the wire radius halved, the electric power dissipated would be

0%
Halved
0%
The same
0%
Doubled
0%
Quadrupled

Explanation

Power dissipated,

$P=\dfrac{e^2}{R}$

where,

$e=$ Induced emf

$=-(\dfrac{d\phi}{dt})$

and

$\phi=NBA$

Therefore,

$e=-NA(\dfrac{dB}{dt})$

Also,

$R\propto \dfrac 1a\propto \dfrac{1}{r^2}$

Therefore,

$P=\dfrac{e^2}{R}\propto \dfrac{N^2A^2r^2}{l}\propto \dfrac{N^2r^4}{l}$

$r$ is halved, then

$N$ is quadruples.

Therefore,

$P$ remains the same.

$E=\dfrac{\sigma}{2\times \epsilon_0}$

$=\dfrac{1\times 10^{-7}}{2\times 8.854\times 10^{-12}}=5649.71\,C^2/Nm^2$

The potential difference of any equipotential surface,

$V=E\Delta s$

Then,

$\Delta s=\dfrac VE$

$=\dfrac{5}{5649.72}=8.8\,mm$

In metre bridge experiment, with a standard resistance in the right gap and a resistance coil dipped in water (in a beaker) in the left gap, the balancing length obtained is 'l'. If the temperature of water is increased, the new balancing length is

An electrical conductor has a resistance of

$5.6k\Omega$ . A potential difference (p.d.) of

$9.0V$ is applied
across its ends.
How many electrons pass a point in the conductor in one minute?

0%

0%
$1.0\times 10^{19}$
0%
$6.0\times 10^{17}$
0%
$1.0\times 10^{16}$

Explanation

We know that

$V = IR$

$\implies I = \dfrac{V}{R}$

$\implies I = \dfrac{9}{5.6 \times 10^3}$ A

This means that no.of electron passes through a point in one second =

$\dfrac{9}{5.6 \times 10^3 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}}$

$\implies$ no. of electron passes through a point in one minute =

$\dfrac{9}{5.6 \times 10^3 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19}} \times 60$

$6.0 \times 10^{17 }$ electrons

$220 \ V$ and

$100 \ W$ lamp is connected to

$220 \ V$ power supply. What is the power consumed?

0%
$100$ W
0%
$200$ W
0%
More than $100$ W
0%
None of these

Explanation

The power consumed would be obviously

$100 \ W$ .

It is because the lamp is operated at its rated voltage

$V =220 \ V$ . So the power consumed will be equal to its power rating, i.e.

$100 \ W.$

Let us solve it to prove it.

We know, power

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}$

Putting

$P=100 \ W$ and

$V =220 \ V$

$\Rightarrow R=\dfrac{(220)^2}{100}=484 \ \Omega$

By Ohm's law,

Current in the circuit

$I=\dfrac{\text{power supply voltage V}}{\text{resistance R}}$

$\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{220}{484} \ A$

Power consumed, P can be calculated as

$I^2R.$

$P={\left( \dfrac{220}{484}\right)}^2 \times 484=\dfrac{(220)^2}{484}=100 \ W$

Hence, option (A) is correct.

Explanation

Drift velocity,

$V_d=\dfrac{1}{n\in A}$

Given,

$n=5\times 10^{22}/cm^3$

$=5\times 10^{22}\times 10^6/m^3$

$e=1.6\times 10^{-19}C$

$A=2\times 10^6m^2$

$I=16A$

$v_d=\dfrac{16}{5\times 10^{28}\times 16\times 10^{-19}\times 2\times 10^{-6}}$

$=\dfrac{1}{10^3}=0.001 m/s$ .

Explanation

Given :

$\alpha = 0.00125/^oC$

Using

$R_T = R_{273} (1 + \alpha (T- 273) )$

For

$T = 300$ ,

$R_{300} = 1\Omega$

$\therefore$

$R_{300} = R_{273} (1 + \alpha (300- 273) )$

$1 = R_{273} (1 + 0.00125 (300- 273) )$

$\implies R_{273} = 0.967\Omega$

Let at temperature be

$T$ when

$R_T = 2\Omega$

$\therefore$

$R_T = R_{273} (1 + \alpha (T- 273) )$

$2 = 0.967(1 + 0.00125 (T- 273) )$

$T- 273 = 854.6$

$\implies$

$T = 273 + 854.6 = 1127.6 K$

When temperature of the conductor is increased, then the collision frequency between current carries ( electrons ) and atoms increases. This results in

0%
decreased in the resistance of the conductor
0%
increase in the resistance of the conductor
0%
no change in the resistance
0%
decrease or increase in the resistance depending upon the type of the conductor

Explanation

When temperature increases,collision frequency increases, it means more number of collisions per time. Time will decrease the relaxation time. But

$R \propto \dfrac{1}{\tau }$ , so

$R$ increases.

$dt$ time, the energy spent is given by:

$dE = Pdt$

$dE = i^2 Rdt$

Integrating both sides to get the Total Energy in time t:

$E = \displaystyle \int dE = \int_0^t i^2 Rdt = i^2R \int_0^t dt = i^2 Rt$

Hence, Option A is correct
