Temperature, T1 = 27.5°C
Resistance of the silver wire at T1, R1 = 2.1 Ω
Temperature, T2 = 100°C
Resistance of the silver wire at T2, R2 = 2.7 Ω
Temperature coefficient of silver = α
It is related with temperature and resistance as
\(\alpha=\frac{R_{2}-R_{1}}{R_{2}\left(T_{2}-T_{1}\right)}\)
\(=\frac{2.7-2.1}{2.1(100-27.5)}=0.0039^{\circ} \mathrm{C}^{-1}\)
Therefore, the temperature coefficient of silver is 0.0039°C−1.

3.
Here, M = 2.5 Am2, m = 6.6 g = 6.6 x 10-3 kg
\(\rho =7.9\times { 10 }^{ 3 }kg/{ m }^{ 3 },\)
\(V=\frac { m }{ \rho } =\frac { 6.6\times { 10 }^{ -3 } }{ 7.9\times { 10 }^{ 3 } } =0.835\times { 10 }^{ -6 }{ m }^{ 3 }\)
\(I=\frac { M }{ V } =\frac { 2.5 }{ 0.835\times { 10 }^{ -6 } } =3.0\times { 10 }^{ 6 }{ Am }^{ -1 }\)
4.
(i) Magnetic flux versus current
(ii)
Alternatively

(iii) Magnetic energy stored
5.
Since magnetic field is brought to zero in time \(\triangle t\), the magnetic flux also reduces from maximum to zero and hence induced emf is produced in the ring.
Induced emf \(=E\left( 2\pi b \right) \) ........(i) \(\left[ \therefore \ V=Ed \right] \)
E is electric field generated around the ring.
Also induced emf = rate of change of magnetic field \(\times\) area
\(=\frac { B\pi { r }^{ 2 } }{ \triangle t } \) .......(ii)
From eqn. (i) and (ii), we have
\(2\pi bE=\frac { B\pi { a }^{ 2 } }{ 2\triangle t } \)
or \(bE=\frac { B{ a }^{ 2 } }{ 2\triangle t } \) .......(iii)
Torque acting on the ring
\(\tau =b\times force=bQE\)
Using eqn. (iii), we get
\(\tau =\frac { QB{ a }^{ 2 } }{ 2\left( \Delta t \right) } \)
If \(\Delta L\) is the change in angular momentum, then
\(\Delta L=\tau \times \Delta t=\frac { QB{ a }^{ 2 } }{ 2 } \)
Initial angular momentum = 0
Final angular momentum = \(m{ b }^{ 2 }\omega =\frac { QB{ a }^{ 2 } }{ 2 } \)
or \(\omega =\frac { QB{ a }^{ 2 } }{ 2m{ b }^{ 2 } } \)
6.
\(C=2.0\mu F=2\times { 10 }^{ -6 }F,\)
\(\frac { dV }{ dt } =6V{ s }^{ -1 }\)
Displacement current,
\({ I }_{ D }={ \epsilon }_{ 0 }A\frac { dE }{ dt } ={ \epsilon }_{ 0 }A\frac { d }{ dt } \left( \frac { V }{ d } \right) \)
\(=\frac { { \epsilon }_{ 0 }A }{ d } \frac { dV }{ dt } =C\frac { dV }{ dt } \)
\(=\left( 2\times { 10 }^{ -6 } \right) \times 6=12\times { 10 }^{ -6 }A\)
\(=12\mu A\)
7.
Here, I = 3.0 x 1014 M m-2 , E0 = ?, B0 = ?
Intensity of the plane electromagnetic wave is
\(I={ u }_{ av }c=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { \epsilon }_{ 0 }{ E }_{ 0 }^{ 2 }c\)
\(\therefore { E }_{ 0 }=\sqrt { \frac { 2I }{ { \epsilon }_{ 0 }c } = } \sqrt { \frac { 2\times 3\times { 10 }^{ 14 } }{ \left( 8.85\times { 10 }^{ -12 } \right) \times \left( 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } \right) } } \)
= 4.75 x 108 V m-1
\({ B }_{ 0 }=\frac { { E }_{ 0 } }{ c } =\frac { 4.75\times { 10 }^{ 8 } }{ 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } } =1.58T\)
8.
The coil draws lesser current in 2nd case because of inductive reactance of the coil.
In 1st case,\( \ R=\frac { V }{ I } =\frac { 10 }{ 2 } =5\Omega \)
In second case,\( \ Z=\frac { V }{ I } =\frac { 10 }{ 1 } =10\Omega \)
Inductive reactance,
\({ X }_{ L }=\sqrt { { Z }^{ 2 }-{ R }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { { 10 }^{ 2 }-{ 5 }^{ 2 } } =5\sqrt { 3 } \)
\(\\ 2\pi vL=5\sqrt { 3 } \ L=\frac { 5\sqrt { 3 } }{ 2\pi v } =\frac { 5\sqrt { 3 } }{ 2\times 3.14\times 50 } =0.0288 \ H\)
9.
\(Here, \ R=200 \ ohm, \ C=15.0\mu F=15\times { 10 }^{ -6 }F\)
\({ E }_{ v }=220V, \ v=50Hz, \ { I }_{ v }=? \ { V }_{ R }=?, \ { V }_{ C }=?\)
\( Now \ { X }_{ C }=\frac { 1 }{ \omega C } =\frac { 1 }{ 2\pi vC } =\frac { 1 }{ 2\times 3.14\times 50\times 15\times { 10 }^{ -6 } } =212.2\Omega \)
\((a) \ Impedance \ of \ the \ circuit,\)
\(Z=\sqrt { { R }^{ 2 }+{ X }_{ C }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { { 200 }^{ 2 }+\left( 212.3 \right) ^{ 2 } } =291.7 \ ohm\)
\( \therefore \ \ Current \ in \ the \ circuit, \ { I }_{ v }=\frac { { E }_{ v } }{ Z } =\frac { 220 }{ 291.7 } =0.75A\)
\( (b) \ { V }_{ R }={ I }_{ v }\times R=0.75\times 200=150.8 \ V\)
\({ V }_{ C }={ I }_{ v }{ X }_{ C }=0.75\times 212.3=159.2 \ V\)
\( { V }_{ R }+{ V }_{ C }=150.8+159.2=310V, \ which \ is \ more \ than \ the \ source \ voltage \ of \ 220 \ V.\)
This paradox is resolved by the fact that the two voltage are not in same phase. Therefore, they cannot be added like ordinary numbers. As VR and VC are out of phase by \({ 90 }^{ \circ }\), therefore
\({ V }_{ RC }=\sqrt { { V }_{ R }^{ 2 }+{ V }_{ C }^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { \left( 150.8 \right) ^{ 2 }+\left( 159.2 \right) ^{ 2 } }\)
\(=220V,\ the\ source\ voltage\)
10.
The point (0, 0, -a) lies on z-axis. Therefore the magnetic field induction at the given point due to current along z-axis is zero.
The magnetic field induction due to current along x-axis at the given point is \(\overset { \rightarrow }{ { B }_{ x } } ={ \frac { { \mu }_{ 0 } }{ 4\pi } }\frac { I }{ a } \overset { \Lambda }{ j } \)

\(\overset { \rightarrow }{ { B }_{ y } } ={ \frac { { \mu }_{ 0 } }{ 4\pi } }\frac { I }{ a } \overset { \Lambda }{ (-i) } \)
Total magnetic field induction,
\(\overset { \rightarrow }{ B } =\overset { \rightarrow }{ { B }_{ x } } +\overset { \rightarrow }{ { B }_{ y } } =\frac { { \mu }_{ 0 } }{ 4\pi } \frac { I }{ a } (\overset { \Lambda }{ j } -\overset { \Lambda }{ i } )\)

19.
Let r be the radius of each small drop and R be the radius of bigger drop.
As volume of bigger drop = volume of n small drops
\({4\over 3}\pi R^3=n\times{4\over 3}r^3\)
\(R=n^{1/3}r\)
Also, potential of bigger drop = \(total \ charge\over capacity\)
\(V={nq\over 4\pi\epsilon_o R}={nq\over 4\pi\epsilon_on^{1/3}r}=n^{2/3}{q\over 4\pi\epsilon_o r}\)
\(=n^{2/3}\) times the potential of each small drop.

=\frac { { Q }^{ 2 } }{ \left( 8\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } \right) } \left( \frac { 1 }{ a } -\frac { 1 }{ b } \right) \)
