The ionisation energy required to remove an electron from ground state of hydrogen atom is E = E∞ – E1 = 0 – (–13.6) eV = 13.6 eV 6. Since the wires are connected in series, current I through both is same. Therefore ratio of drift velocities vX I / nX eAX = vY I / nY eAY

12. Consider an elementary area dS on the surface of the charged conductor. Enclose this area element with a cylindrical gaussian surface as shown in figure.

(ii) As energy of a photon depends on the frequency of light, so the maximum kinetic energy with which photoelectron is emitted depends only on the energy of photon or on the frequency of incident radiation. (ii) As the number of photons in light depend on its intensity, and one photon liberates one photoelectron, so number of photoelectrons emitted depend only on the intensity of incident light. 17.

Sky wave propagation is used by short wave broadcast services having frequency range from a few MHz upto 30 MHz. Sky waves are used for long distance radio communication. The successive reflection of these radiowaves at the earth’s surface and the ionosphere make it possible to transmit these waves from one part to another part of the earth.
These waves are reflected by ionosphere by means of total internal reflection, which arises due to change in refractive indices of different layers of ionosphere. Critical frequency of reflection for a particular layer is given by fc = 9 N max where Nmax = maximum electron density in the given layer. For any frequency greater than fc ionosphere is not able to reflect the radiowave. Hence there exists an upper limits to frequency of waves used in this mode. 20.

When unpolarised light is made to pass through a polaroid, only those electric field vectors, parallel to its crystallographic axis emerge out of it. Thus the emerging light is plane polarised. Such a crystal is called polariser. If the emergent plane polarised light is passed through another crystal called analyser with its plane of transmission normal to that of polariser then no light emerges from it, as it is completely absorbed by the analyser.

Working :
When a rectangular loop PQRS (suspended through a torison head) of sides ‘a’ and ‘b’ carrying current I is placed in uniform magnetic field B, such that area vector A makes an angle q with direction of magnetic field, then forces on the arms QR and SP of loop are equal, opposite and collinear, thereby perfectly cancel each other, whereas forces on the arms PQ and RS of loop are equal and opposite but not collinear, so they give rise to torque on the loop. or t = IABsin q [where A = ab] and if loop has N turns, then t = NIABsinq Due to this torque, the coil is deflected by an angle a, where it is balanced by restoring torque Ca, developed in suspension strip. C is restoring torque per unit deflection or torsional constant of the strip. NIAB = Ca C I= a NAB So, by measuring a, we can measure current I in the coil. (b) In order to make torque on the coil independent of angle q, the plane of coil should always remain parallel to the field. For this purpose a radial magnetic field is applied. (c) A galvanometer can be converted into a voltmeter by connecting high resistance in series with it, so that most of the voltage applied drops across it, enabling the galvanometer to measure much larger voltages.

As the image of the object is formed by the lens on the screen, therefore the image is real. Let the object is placed at a distance x from the lens. As the distance between the object and the screen is 90 cm.

Faraday’s law of electromagnetic induction states that whenever there is a change in the magnetic flux linked with a circuit an induced emf is set up in it, which lasts as long as the magnetic flux linked with it is changing and the magnitude of induced emf ‘e’ is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with it i.e., df | e |∝ dt According to the data given in question, during the motion from x = 0 to x = b Initial flux = 0 Final flux = Blb Motional emf in the arm PQ, e = –Bvl e = − df dt During the motion from x = b to x = 2b, Flux remains constant which is f = Blb \ Motional emf, e = 0 Above values remain same, for the motion of arm PQ, from x = 2b to b. During motion from x = b to x = 0, initial flux f = Blb, final flux = 0 df \ Motional emf e = − = + Blv (direction dt reversed)
Variation of these quantities is shown in following graph.
OR A schematic diagram of step-up transformer is shown below.
Working Principle It works on the principle of mutual induction. It consists of two coils primary P and secondary S wound on a laminated soft iron core. The input voltage is applied across the primary coil and output voltage is obtained across the secondary coil. Magnetic flux fS and fP linked with secondary and primary coils at any instant are proportional to the number of turns NS and NP in secondary and primary coils i.e., fS NS df N −dfP = or − S = S fP N P dt N P dt NS eS NS or eS = e P or = NP eP NP NS where is called transformation ratio of NP transformer. In step up transformer eS > eP and NS > NP and transformation ratio > 1 In an ideal transformer, there is no loss of energy or it is 100% efficient. Then Power input = Power output e I or e P I P = eS IS ⇒ S = P e P IS where IS and IP are currents in secondary and primary coils of transformer. Transformer is mainly used in long distance transmission of electrical energy. At the electric power producing station, a step-up transformer is used which increases the alternating voltage upto several kilo volts, thereby decreasing the electric current flowing through transmission wires, As Joul’s heating is proportional to square of current, so this decreases the loss of electrical energy across transmission wires. Further a step-down transformer is used to decrease the alternating voltage at sub-station before distributing electrical energy for domestic use.
30. (a) Biasing of a pn junction diode: Forward Biasing: When an external voltage (V) is applied across the diode such that p-side is connected with positive or at a higher potential and n-side is connected with negative or at a lower potential, the diode is called “Forward Biased”
Reverse Biasing: When the external voltage (V) is applied across the diode such that p side is connected with negative or at a lower potential and n side is connected with positive or at a higher potential, the diode is called “Reverse Biased”.
By changing the biasing voltage in both circuits above, corresponding readings of voltmeter and ammeter are observed, and graphs are plotted between them for both the circuits. These graphs are known as VI characteristics.
(b) Light emitting diode (LED) is a junction diode made of gallium arsenide or indium phosphide in which when hole-electron pairs recombine at forward biased pn-junction, energy is released in the form of light. physics for you | MaY ’10

Two advantages of LED over conventional incandescent lamps are: (i) In LED energy is produced in the form of light only, whereas in incandescent lamp energy is produced in the form of heat and light. Thus, there is no energy loss in LED. (ii) To operate LED, very small voltage (≈ 1 V) is required, whereas for the incandescent lamp higher voltages are required.

Input resistance (ri): This is defined as the ratio of change in base-emitter voltage (DVBE) to the resulting change in base current (DIB) at constant collector-emitter voltage (VCE). This is dynamic (ac resistance) and as its value varies with the operating current in the transistor: DV 1 ri = BE = D I Slope of input characteristic B V CE

When key K is closed, IC starts increasing in the circuit. The changing current through inductance L1 induces an emf across the inductor L, which further increase the base current IB and hence IE. The upper plate of the capacitor gets positively charged. As the current through inductor L 1 becomes steady, the mutual induction stops and induced emf across inductor L becomes zero and capacitor starts getting discharged through inductor L, thereby decreasing the base current IB and hence emitter current IE and collector current IC till IC becomes zero. Thus collector current oscillates between maximum and zero values. mm
