Preface

Physics is basic to the understanding of almost all the branches of science and technology. It is interesting to note that the ideas and concepts of physics are behavioural science too. The students may or may not continue to study physics beyond the higher secondary stage, but we feel that they will find the thought process of physics useful in any other branch they may like to pursuer, be it finance Administration, Social Science, Environment, Engineering, Technology, Biology or Medicine. Physics discovers new properties of particles and want to create a name for each one. Latest example of physics is the innovation of God Practice (Higgs Boson). Higgs boson is a hypothetical elementary practice, a boson, which is the quantum of the Higgs field. The filed and the particle provide a testable hypothesis for the origin of mass in elementary particles. God particle that helps to explain what gives all matter in the universe size and shape. Physics is not a mugging subject, we can not simply study it by the book. We must attempt questions from workbooks and do a lot of exercises. Only then we will be able to answer various types of questions no matter how tough they may seem. Interest plays a vital role in scoring in this subject. We must show keen interest in studying physics. Most people dislike the subject as it is far more complicating then the other science subjects. Therefore, they make no effort to master the subject. This book has some features which will help to service the contents in shorter time. After learning content one can answer question for self lest. Some exercises are given with art & pedagogical remark use of easily understandable language is taken care of suggestions to students from a teacher. Finally it must be remembered that entire physics is based on observations & experiments without which a theory does not get acceptance in to the domain of physics. We are thankful to all those who conveyed these inputs. We welcome suggestions and comments from our valued users, especially students and teachers at the email id scert.physics@gmail.com & can also post on www.scertdelhi.nic.in. We wish our readers a happy journey to the exciting realm of physics.

Safety Precautions for Students in Physics Laboratory

Designing of all science laboratories according to necessary norms and standards. Two wide doors for unobstructed exits from the laboratory. Adequate number of fire extinguishers near science laboratories. Periodical checking of vulnerable points in the laboratories in relation to possibility of any mishappening. Periodical checking of electrical fittings/ insulations for replacement and repairs. Timely and repeated instructions to students for careful handling of equipments in the laboratory. Display of do's and dont's in the laboratory at prominent places. Safe and secure storage of all Equipments Proper labelling and upkeep of Equipments Careful supervision of students while doing practical work. Advance precautionary arrangements to meet any emergency situations. Conduct of any additional experimental work only under supervision and with due advance permission. Availability of First Aid and basic medical facilities in the school. Proper location of the laboratories.

How to make the learning of the difficult topics easier?

Do's Und Dont's
1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. Do not take the word difficult while teaching and you be positive yourself. Do not place the topic on the board - After completing tell the students that this what it is For example topics like Potentiometer Try to build the topic from the basics of the basic while teaching. Do not draw the diagram on board before you start the topic Do build the same as the discussion continues. Do not forget to place the arrow in circuits and Ray diagrams A mistake which can be easily absorbed by the student. Do not postpone the topic for the end of the academic session Give 2-3 revision by asking question's from such identified topics at the beginning of the class on the subsequent days. Try to test these identified topics in almost all the tests if possible after prior information to the students. Do try to create interest on such topics before it is actually discussed. Try to adopt an interactive approach to deal with such topics. Very important a point is to think new and good approaches that may fit your students while dealing with such topics and popularize such method.

The Physics Student cannot afford to miss it

1. 2.

Identify the chapters in which the weight-age is more. Prepare those identified chapters having more weight-age with an eye to have a sure 5 mark question and do writing practice also with proper figures. Do the super hit questions/topics like Cyclotron, a.c.generator, Young's experiment, Gauss's theorem, Wheatstone's bridge, potentiometer etc.., many times before the examination, so that you do not flop during the examination because of the tilted nature of a question. Instead of leaving the topics like E.M. Waves, Principles of Communication understand to express all definitions, interpretation of figures, Advantages and disadvantages of various devices and Applications etc. Do all the worked examples and the graphs with their Interpretation (which you can easily understand) in a line or two from NCERT and practice them before hand. Go to the examination hall with a positive frame of mind - particularly on the Physics examination day, at least half an hour before without any books and please do not discuss any question with anyone in this period. Start the answer script with the best known question and complete all the questions that you know without cutting and overwriting. In case you are not having good Interpretation skill, first do the best known five mark questions and try to create a good impression in the minds of the paper checker. When you approach the numerical question always understand the question, recall the known concept of the question and never try to list the formula and substitute the values. Present the paper neatly and legibly without cutting and leaving space for anything that you plan to do later, since there will not be any time to do later. If you happen to cut, do it neatly such that the cut and the un-cut portions are distinguishable. Thinking and formatting the answer before writing will improve you on this front.

Suggestions to Students from a Teacher

Sleep

It is important to be well rested. Make sure to get a good night's sleep in the few days before the test. If you don't sleep well the night before the test, don't worry about it! It is more important to sleep well two and three nights before. You should still have the energy you need to perform at your best.

Diet

Don't change your diet right before the test. Now's not the time to try new foods, even if they are healthier. You don't want to find out on test morning that yesterday's energy bar didn't go down well. In the few weeks before the test, try to work a light, healthy breakfast into your daily routine. If you already eat breakfast, good for you - don't change a thing.

Stress

Try to be aware of whatever anxiety you're feeling before test day. The first thing to remember is that this is a natural phenomenon; your body is conditioned to raise the alarm whenever something important is about to happen. However, because you are aware of what your body and mind are doing, you can compensate for it. Spend some time each day relaxing. Try to let go of all the pressures that build up during your average day. Visualize a successful test day experience. You already know what to expect on test day: when you'll get each test section, how many questions there are, how much time you'll have, etc. You also know where you are strong and where you are weak. Picture yourself confidently answering questions correctly, and smoothly moving past trouble spots - you can come back to those questions later. Find a family member or trusted friend with whom you can talk about the things that stress you out about the test. When this person tells you that everything is going to be OK, believe it!

Writing Questions

Remember that a few spelling or grammar mistakes are tolerable, but you want to try to eliminate as many of those as you can. Try to vary your sentence length and word choice. Before you begin to write, spend a few minutes brainstorming ideas and outlining the argument you want to make. Planning will help you to write a well-organized and cohesive essay.

Practice and Review

Whatever you do, don't cram for the test! It is a bad strategy because you aren't going to remember most of what you "learn" while cramming, and the odds are slim that the few things it will help you to remember will happen to be on the test. Save the energy you would have used to cram for test day. In the few days before the test, do a review of the skills and concepts in which you are strong. Be confident as you review everything that you know - and remember that confident feeling as you take the test.

Electric Charge
Charge is the property associated with matter due to which it produces and experiences electrical and magnetic effects. The charge on a body arises from an excess or deficit of electrons. Positive charge Glass Rod Fur Wool Wool Dry hair Negative charge Silk Ebonite Plastic Rubber Comb

Magnitude of electronic charge is e =(1.6 1019C) S.I. unit of charge is coulomb.

Point Charge
A finite size body may behave like a point charge if it produces an inverse square electric field. For example an isolated charged sphere behave like a point charge at very large distance.

Methods of Charging
(i) By friction (ii) By conduction (by contact)In this case transfer of charge takes place by contact. (iii) By induction (without contact)In this case charges are Induced by external effect without any physical contact.

Properties of Charge
(i) AdditivityTotal electric charge of a system = algebraic sum of all the positive and negative charges contained in that system. (ii) Conservationcharge can neither be created nor destroyed. It means that total charge of an isolated system always remains constant. (iii) QuantisationIt is the property due to which all free charges are integral multiple of electronic charge. Symbolically, q = ne where q = total charge on a body e = charge on an electron 1

The cause of quantization is that only integral number of electrons can be transferred from one body to another. (iv) Charge of body does not depend upon its speed. (v) Charge can not exist without mass though mass can exist without charge.

Coulombs Law
According to Coulombs law, If two point charges q1, q2 are separated by a distance r, the magnitude of the force (F) between them is given by q1q 2 F = k 2 r where k is constant of proportionality, its value in S.I. System is 9 109 Nm2c2. In vector form = k If both charges are of same sign then force will be repulsive other wise attractive.

Permittivity
Value of k is also represented as k = 1/4o where o is called the permittivity of free space or vacuum. Value of o = 8.854 1012 C2N1m2. Coulombs law is written as F = If the medium between the two charges is other than vacuum, the formula becomes 1 q1q 2 F = 4 . r 2 m The force between the charges is reduced. m is called the permittivity of the medium.

Relative permittivity or dielectric constant

It is the ratio of permittivity of the medium to permittivity of free space. m r = o r = 1 for vacuum, 1 for air, 81 for water

Principle of Super Position

Force on any charge due to a number of other charges is the vector sum of all the forces on that charge due to the other charges, taking one at a time. The individual forces are unaffected due to the presence of other charges.

Electric Field
It is the space around a charge (source charge) in which any other charge (test charge) experience an electric force due to source charge.

Intensity of electric field

Intensity of the electric field at a given point is defined as the electric force on unit positive charge placed at that point. Direction of electric field is same as the direction of electric force on unit positive charge. Its S.I. Unit is NC1 or volt per meter. 2

The electric force on a charge q placed in electric field E is given by

Electric field intensity due to a point charge.

Electric field intensity at any point P due to a point charge q at O, where OP = r is

Superposition principle
It is equal to the vector sum of the electric field intensities due to the individual charges at the same point.

Electric Field Lines

These are the path of unit positive test charge placed in any given electric field and free to move.

Properties of electric field lines

(i) They are hypothetical lines. (ii) The tangent to an electric field line gives direction of electric field at that point. (iii) The relative closeness of field lines indicates the relative strength of electric field at different points. (iv) All electric field lines originate from a positive charges and terminate on a negative charges. They are open curves. (v) The number of electric field lines of any charge is proportional to the magnitude of the charges. 1 q (vi) No two electric field lines ever cross each other because field cannot have two directions at F= = qE E r the same point. 4+q 0 r 2 (vii) They are continuous curves. (viii) These are always noamal to the surface of conductor. (ix) Number of fields lines passing perpendicular to unit area is equal to the magnitude of electric field.

(iv) Electric field lines of non-uniform electric field.

Electric Dipole
An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance. It the two charges are (q) and (+q) and a is the displacement between them, then the vector quantity is known as the electric dipole moment.

Dipole moment, p = 2qa Direction of electric dipole moment is from negative charge to positive charge. SI unit of dipole moments is coulomb-meter (C-m).

Electric Field Of a Dipole At a Point On Its Axis.

Consider an electric dipole consisting of two point charges q and +q separated by small distance 2a. P is the point where field is to be calculated. = Field at P due to +q = Field at P due to q

Electric Flux ( )
Electric flux is defined as number of electric field lines passing through the area placed normal to the field direction. Electric flux d through an area element d = = in an electric field is defined as

it is a scalar quantity.Its SI unit is Nm2 C1.

Gausss law holds good for any closed surface of any shape or size. It does not depend upon the location of charge inside the close surface.

Application of Gauss's Law

Steps for using gauss law(1) Assume observation point where electric field is to be determined. (2) Assume a close surface(gaussian surface) which passes from point P. (3) Calculate area of gaussian surface and qenclosed. (4) Draw electric filed lines for given distribution. (5) Determined angle between electric field and area vector at every point. (6) Use gauss law.

Let P is the observation point.Surface charge density of uniformly charged sheet is . Consider a Gaussian cylindrical surface of length 2l and cross section area S passing through point P as shown in figure.

By Gauss law or

Now, since dS1 and dS3 are taken at equal distance from the charged sheet so E1 = E3 = E(Let) 8

2ES = E =

This expression shows that electric field at a point very close to a metal sheet does not depends upon the distance.

Electric Potential & Capacitance Electrostatic Potential

The electric potential at a point in an electric field is the work done by an external force in bringing a unit positive test charge from infinity to that point without any acceleration. potential is a scalar quantity. potential V=

Unit of electric potential is volt. 1V = 1 volt = 1 NmC1 = 1JC1

Potential Due to a Point Charge

Let a small positive test charge q0 is brought from to A with a constant velocity.

Let electric field at any point P = E PQ = an infinitesimally small path element Electric force due to the field on q0 at P is = q0 Force to be applied on q0 to move it from P to Q without imparting any acceleration to it = q0 corresponding work, dW Potential at A, = q0 .

Equipotential Surfaces
The surface at which the value of potential at every point is same is called equipotential surface.

Properties of equipotential surface

(1) No work is required to be done in moving a charge from one point to another on an equipotential surface. (2) No two equipotential surface intersect each other. (3) For any charge configuration, equipotential surface through a point is normal to the electric field at that point.

Some equipotential surfaces:

(i) For single point charge equipotential surfaces are concentric spheres.

(ii) Equipotential surfaces in a uniform electric field are planes normal to field.

(iii) Equipotential surface between two point charges + q and q is as follows:

Electric Potential Energy

Potential energy of a point charge at a point is defined as the amount of work done in bringing the charge from an infinite distance to thet point . S.I. unit of potential energy is joule (J).Other unit of P.E. is eV(electron volt)

Electric potential energy of a point charge in an external electric field

Potential energy U of a single charge q at a point P at distance r in an external electric field U = q(potential at P)=qVp Work done by or on a charge q in moving it from (V1) to V2 will be equal to the P.E. lost or gained by the charge. Thus U = q(V2 V1)

Electrostatics of Conductors
(i) Electrostatic field inside a conductor is zero. (ii) At the surface of a charged conductor, electrostatic field must be normal to the surface at every point. (iii) Inside the conductor charge is zero. Charge reside only at the surface of cinductor. (iv) Electrostatic potential is constant throughout the volume of the conductor and has the same value as on its surface. (v) Electric field at the surface of a charged conductor = where is the surface charge density and is a unit vector normal to the surface. (iv) The surface charge density () is high where the radius of curvature of the surface of the conductor is small. (vii) Electrostatic shielding: It is the process in which any object or region is protected from electric field. It is done by enclosing that object or region by conducting surface.

Dielectric and Polarisation

Dielectrics are non conducting substances which transmit electric effect without any actual conduction of electricity. e.g., vacuum, paper (waxed or oiled), mica, glass, plastic foil, fused ceramic, or air etc. There are two type of dielectric medium. (i) Polar dielectric: In this dielectric center of positive charge and centre of negative charge does not coincide with each other e.g. water, HCl etc. (liquids). (ii) Non polar dielectric: In this dielectric center of positive charge and centre of negative charge coincide with each other. e.g. gases.

Dielectric polarisation
When a dielectric is placed in a uniform electric field then the centres of positive and negative charges in the molecule are separated, and dielectric is said to be polarised. The polarized dielectric is equivalent to two charged surfaces with induced surface charge densities, say + p and p. The field produced by these surface charges opposes the external field. The total field in the dielectric is, thereby, reduced from the case when no dielectric is present. 14

Dielectric strength
The maximum value of the electric field at which the dielectric withstand without break down, is called the dielectric strength of the material.

Electrostatic Capacitance
Capacitance is the capacity to store electric charges by any conductor and such conductor are known as capacitor. If we give some charge Q to an isolated conductor, its potential increases to V. then Q V or, Q = CV where C is the constant of proportionality called capacitance. S.I. unit of capacitance is farad, F.(1 farad = 1 coulomb/volt).A conductor is said to have a capacity of 1farad when a charge of 1 coulomb increases its potential by 1 volt.

Capacitance of an isolated conducting sphere

If a conducting sphere of radius r is given a charge Q, then the potential on the surface of the sphere is V=
Q Q0 r 4 = 4 0 r V 0 r 4

= C=

since

Q/V = C

Estimation of one farad

If we use C = 1 farad in above relation then r = 9 109m hence farad is a very large unit. Farad being a very large unit, other practical units are 1 microfarad = 1F = 106 farad 1 milifarad = 1mF = 103 farad 1 picofarad = 1pF = 1012 farad

Parallel plate Capacitor

In this capacitor one or more pairs of plates of conductors are seperated by a dielectric medium.

Principle
The principle of parallel plate capacitor is based on the fact that potential of a insulated conductor is decreased when an uncharged earthed conductor is kept close to it.In this case charge of insulated conductor remains same and more charges can be added to it.This is the way to increase the capacitance of an insulated conductor.

It is a device used to accelerate charge partical. It is used in high energy nuclear physics experiments. Principle: It is based upon the principle of electrostatic induction and corona discharge. (action of sharp point). Corona discharge: When a conductor carries a charge then leakage of charge takes place from its pointed ends. The process of spraying charge is called corona discharge (Action of sharp point). 18

Construction: Motor drives the pulley P1 and P1 drives pulley P2 through an insulating belt. P2 is inside an air evacuated spherical metallic shell. There are two metallic brushes placed near the insulating belt. The lower brush is connected to high voltage battery. The upper brush is connected with the inner surface of the spherical shell. Working: The lower metal brush is kept at a positive potential (104 volt). Due to discharging action of sharp points, it sprays positive charge on the belt.

As the belt moves, and reaches the sphere, a negative charge is induced on the sharp ends of the upper collecting metal brush and an equal positive charge is induced on the farther end of that brush. This positive charge shifts immediately to the outer surface of the shell. Due to action of sharp points of the upper metal brush, a negatively charges are sprayed on the belt. This neutralizes the positive charge on the belt. This is repeated again and again. Thus the positive charge on the metallic shell goes on accumulating. Hence the potential of the spherical shell goes on increasing up to 6-8 million volts.

The flow of charge is known as current electricity. The rate of flow of charge is called electric current. q I = t q = ne where n is an integer and e = 1.6 1019C. The SI unit of electric current is ampere (A).

In metals or conductors free electrons move randomely in all possible directions and collide with atoms of the matter. They move in straight line between two successive collisions. When electric field is applied across a conductor the electrons get accelerated which may not be in the direction of velocity of electron in absence of electric field. Hence the electrons do not follow straight line path in presence of electric field.

(a)
Fig. 2.1

(b)

The average velocity of all free electrons in a conductor in presence of electric field is called drift velocity. The velocity of free electron just after the collision becomes zero and just before the collision remains maximum i.e., v = a where is the time between two sucessive collision and called relaxation time.

called resistivity or specific resistance. It depends upon the material and temperature.

Ohm's law states that the ratio of potential difference and current flowing though a conductor is constant if all external condition like temperature, etc., are remain unchanged. = R The conductors who obey the Ohm's law are called Ohmic and those do not Obey are called nonohmic conductor. 25

When resistances are connected in series the equivalent resistance,

R = R1 + R2 + R3

In series the equivalent resistance is greater than the largest resistance present in the combination. The current in all resistances remains same and potential difference distributes in direct ratio of their resistances. I1 = I2 and =

When resistances are connected across two same points, the combination is called parallel combination. Fig. 2.6. In paralle combination the equivalent resistance, R in given by = in parallel combination the equivalent resistance is less than the smallest resistance present in the combination.

The code of first second and third coloured bands give the first digit, second digit and number of zeroes followed by second digit of the resistance value. Electric cell is the simplest source of electrical energy. The cell consists of electrolyte and electrodes. The resistance offered by cell (electrolyte and electrods) is called internal resistance of the cell (r). 27
Fig. 2.9

The internal resistance depends upon the nature of material of electrodes and electrolyte. Concentration of electrolyte. It increases with increase in concentration. Surface area of electrodes. It decreases with increase in surface area of electrodes. Seperation of the electrodes. It increase with increase in seperation of electrodes. Temperature. It decrease with increase in temperature.

The amount of worce done in circulating a unit positive charge in a closed circuit including the cell is called electro motive force (emf).

Current drawn from the cell I = I = where If R = external resistance and r is internal resistance IR + Ir = V = IR = V + Ir I = 0, = V

emf can also be defined as the terminal voltage of the cell when no current is drawn from the cell. If n identical cells each of emf and internal resistance r are connected in series with external resistance R, the current I can be given by I = If r << R, I will be maximum and I =

Similarly. If m identical cells are connected in parallel, then I = If R << r, I will be maximum and can be given by I =

The current in the circuit is maximum when internal resistance and external resistance are equal. 28

When the cell is short-circuited, the external resistance becomes zero. I=

i.e., short-circuit current of a cell is maximum while terminal voltage is zero. Power transfer to the load by the cell will be

Wheat stone Bridge. In 1843 charles wheatstone devised that an arrangment of four resistances which can be used to measure one of them in terms of the rest.

Potentiometer : The potentiometer, one of the most important electrical instrument, consists basically of a resistance R through which a steady current flows as shown in fig. 2.15.

Es = Potential gradient. ...(iii) Ls Though the driving emf E and resistance r and R do not need to be known, they must remain same during the whole experiment from the time the first balnace is achieved (otherwise I will not remain same and so theory will not apply) Usually the first balance (called standardisation) is achieved by fixing the tapping point B at a given length Ls and adjusting I by means of r so that K= Es/Ls becomes simple ratio such as 102 or 103 (V cm1). A balance point will be achieved only if the source of potential difference V is connected between A and B with the same polarity and its potential difference V is lesser than that across R. As in this method no current is drawn from the source of potential difference V, the potentiometer acts like a voltmeter of infinite resistance (i.e. ideal voltmeter) and hence can measure emf of a cell of potential difference most accurately.

Fleming's Left Hand Rule

If we stretch the fore finger, the central finger and the thumb of left hand such that they are mutually perpendicular to each other and the fore finger indicates the direction of magnetic field, the central finger indicates the direction of electric current (direction of velocity of positive charge) then the thumb represents the direction of force experienced by the charged particle.

Cyclotron
It is a device used to accelerate charged particle to a very high energies.

Principle
It is based on the principle of lorentz force. The electric field accelerates the particle and magnetic field makes it move in a circular orbit.

Construction

4.

Source of charged particles at the centre of the Dees.(Ion source)

The whole assembly is placed in a vacuum chamber maintained at very low pressure of about 10 mm of Hg.

Working
Suppose a positive ion P is generated from ion source when D1 is at a (+) potential & D2 at () potential. Positive ion will be accelerated due to this polarity and enter in D2 with increased speed. Inside Dee electric field is zero and due to magnetic field it will move in a circular path. mv radius of path r= ...(i) Bq After moving the semi circular path in time t inside D2, (p) reaches at the edge of D2 .In this time, t the polarities of D1 & D2 are reversed and again particle get accelerated and enter in to D1.This whole process repeats again and again and finally the particle obtain a sufficiently high kinetic energy. The accelerated particle is removed out of Dees. Time spent inside a Dee in semicircular path, t = r/v = m/Bq ...(ii) If T = Time period of the electric field,then or T= ...(iii)

The cyclotron's angular frequency c is 2 Bq = c = ...(iv) T m The cyclotron frequency is 1 Bq = f= T 2m kinetic energy of ions is maximum when it moves along the largest circular path i.e. radius of Dees.

Limitations of cyclotron
1. 2. 3. Speed of charged particle can be increased up to a certain limit(Not beyond the speed of light). Very light particle like electron can not be accelerated because it go quickly out of step with electric field. It cannot accelerate uncharged particles. 44

Moving Coil Galvanometer

(In radial magnetic field angle between the area vector A of the coil and the magnetic field is 90, i.e. torque on coil is maximum.The coil is wound on soft iron cylinderical core (which increases the intensity of magnetic field at the place of coil). This coil is attached with a phosphor bronze wire. The other side of the coil is attached with a spring. Spring restores the position of coil by its restoring torque. The deflection is indicated on the scale by a mirror (which behave as pointer) attached to the spring.

It is the phenomenon of generating e.m.f. in a conductor when there is a change of magnetic flux linked with the conductor. The e.m.f. so developed is called induced e.m.f. If the conductor is a closed circuit, a current also flows in the circuit (called induced current).

Magnetic Flux
The magnetic flux () is the measure of total number of magnetic field lines crossing through any surface A placed in magnetic field . It is given by flux is Weber. , where is the angle between area vector A and B. S.I. unit of

Faraday's Laws of Electromagnetic Induction

First law: Whenever there is a change in magnetic flux linked with a circuit, an induced e.m.f. and hence induced current is produced in the circuit. It lasts only till the magnetic flux changes. Second law: The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the circuit. e= = Here negative sign shows that induced e.m.f. is always opposite to change in magnetic flux (Lenz's law). e=

Lenz's Law
According to this law, the direction of the induced e.m.f. is in such a way that it always opposes the reason due to which change in magnetic flux takes place. Lenz's law is in accordance with the law of conservation of energy.

Fleming's Right Hand Rule

It is used to know the direction of induced current produced in a conductor when the magnetic flux associated with it changes. According to this rule, if we stretch the first finger, central finger and thumb of our right hand in mutually perpendicular directions such that first finger points out in the direction of magnetic fied, thumb points out in the direction of motion (or force) of the conductor, then the central finger gives the direction of induced current. 62

(Motional emf) (iii) By changing orientation () of coil keeping both area (A) and magnetic field (B) constant.

At any instant t, flux linked with the circuit = B.A = Blx where A = Area in magnetic field At time (t + t), flux is given by Bl (x +x) Change in flux in time t = [Bl (x + x) Blx] = Blx Induced emf = Rate of change of flux e = Bl. = Blv

Hence, magnitude of induced e.m.f., e = Bvl Direction of induced emf and corresponding induced current is determined by Flemmings right hand rule which is shown in figure given earlier.

It is a device which converts the chemical energy into electrical energy. Working Principle: It is based upon the principle of electromagnetic induction. Construction: It has three main components (i) Permanent magnet NS (ii) Armature coil PQRS (iii) Slip rings (S1 & S2) with carbon brushes (B1 & B2) Working: When the coil is rotated in a magnetic field, the magnetic flux associated with if changes.

In the diagram, PQRS is Armature coil: R1, R2 are the Slip rings; C1,C2 are Carbon brushes; RL is Load resistance (i) During1st half cycle of rotation of coil, side PQ is moving outward in the magnetic field, so using Fleming right hand rule direction of induced current is from P to Q.Hence direction of current in RL is from M to N.

This analysis shows that direction of current in RL changes with time and hence output is alternating current i.e. the direction of flow of induced current in the external circuit changes periodically..

Eddy Currents
Current induced in bulk piece of a conducting material kept is a clanging magnetic field is called eddy current. Its magnitude is usually very large and it flows in closed loops.

Uses of eddy currents

(i) Electromagnetic damping in galvanometers. (ii) Heating and even melting of metals as in the induction furnace. (iii) Electric or eddy current brakes in electric trains. (iv) In electric power meters. We can minimise eddy current, but cannot eliminate them. 65

(a) Self inductance (or coefficient of self induction)

It is the property of a coil due to which it opposes the change in magnetic flux through itself. If = magnetic flux linked with the coil at time t when current flowing through it is I, then I or = LI where L is constant of proportionality, known as coefficient of self induction, or self inductance or simply inductance of the coil. Using Faraday lawd dI = L e= dt dt Dimensions of L = [ML2T2A2] The SI unit of inductance is Henry. Thus, if rate of change of current of one ampere per second induces an e.m.f. of one volt in a coil, the inductance of that coil is one henry.

(a) Mutual inductance (M) (or Coefficient of matual induction)

It is the property of a coil due to which it opposes the change in magnetic flux associated through another neighbouring coil. Any change of current in coil-1 results in a change of magnetic flux linked with coil-2 (&viceversa). This process is called mutual induction. Let I1 = current in coil-1 2 = total flux linked with coil-2 due to I1, then 2 I1 2 = M I1 where M is constant of proportionality called coefficient of mutual induction. Also if e = induced e.m.f. in coil-2 due to rate of change of I1, then d 21 e= dt 66

Alternating Current
If direction of current in circuit changes continuously with time then current is known as alternating current. I = I0 sin t or I = I0 cos t Here, I is instantaneous value of current(value of current at time t) and I0 is the peak value or maximum value or amplitude of a.c., is called angular frequency of a.c. Also, =

Similarly, the mean or average value of a.c. over 2nd half cycle is 0.637 I0. Hence the mean or average value of a.c. over one complete cycle is 0.637 I0 0.637 I0 = zero. Similarly, 2E o = 2E o = hence average value of alternating voltage over complete cycle is also zero. So ordinary d.c. instrument(ammeter and voltmeter) will show zero reading.The instruments used to measure a.c. based on heating effect of current so division on scale on such instrument are not equally spaced.

Power Factor of an A.C. Circuit and Wattless Current

In eqn. P is called true power and ( ) is called apparent power or virtual power. cos is the ratio of true power and apparent power and called power factor of the circuit. So, Power factor power factor = = cos = [from phasor diagram]

In a non-inductive circuit, XL = XC Power factor = cos = 1 This is the maximum value of power factor. In a pure inductor or an ideal capacitor, = 90 Power factor = cos = cos 90 = 0. Average power consumed in a pure inductor or ideal capacitor, P = Erms Irms cos 90 = Zero. Therefore, current through pure L or pure C, which consumes no power for its maintenance in the circuit is called Idle current or Wattless current. At resonance, XL = XC and = 0. cos = cos 0 = 1 Therefore, maximum power is dissipated in a circuit at resonance. Power dissipation is always through resistance R.

Transformer
A transformer is an electrical device which is used for changing the a.c. voltages and current. A transformer which increases the a.c. voltages is called a step up transformer. A transformer which decreases the a.c. voltages is called a step down transformer.

Two coils P1 P2 and S1 S2 are wound on the same core, but are well insulated from each other. The source of alternating e.m.f. is connected to P1 P2 (the primary coil) and a load resistance R is S1 P1 connected to S1 S2 (secondary coil), Input Output R Assume that the energy losses is negligible.

Pedagogical Remark
(a) No. However strong the magnet may be, current can be induced only by changing the magnetic flux through the loop. (b) No current is induced in either case. Current cannot be induced by changing the electric flux. dt 2. E.M.F., e = L dt 5 200 = L 0.1 Hence, L = 4 H. 3. For steady state DC, there will be no change in the brightness of the bulb, as there is no change in current and hence in the flux. When iron core is inserted, the magnetic flux increases suddenly, the lamp will shine less brightly for a moment and then there will be no change in the brightness of the bulb as long as current is not changed. 4. If the observer is looking at the loop from the side, from which the bar enters the loop: The direction of current will be clockwise, when bar magnet is moving towards the loop. The direction of current will be anticlockwise, when bar magnet is moving away from the loop. 5. Yes, the applied instantaneous voltage is equal to the algebraic sum of the instantaneous voltages across the series elements of the given a.c. circuit. The same is not true for rms voltage, because voltages across different elements may not be in phase. 6. For a steady state d.c., inductance of the choke coil has no effect, even if it is increased by inserting an iron-core. For the lamp will shine dimly because of additional impedance of the choke. It V = 220 2 sin 2 (50) t = 311 sina.c., 314t. will dim further when the iron core is inserted which increases the choke's impedance. 7. As voltage is leading the current by 90 hence power factor cos = cos 90 = 0. Consequently power dissipation in the circuit is zero. 8. 9. Maximum value of power factor is 1 and its minimum value is zero i.e., 0 cos 1 . With increase in frequency, current in a.c. circuit first increases, attains a maximum value at resonant frequency and then again decreases. 10. Because by using a capacitor of appropriate capacitance the effect of inductive reactance can be nullified or reduced and consequently power factor increases. 11.

Hence, the E.M.F. will be 6.28 105V As the bar magnet accelerates, its velocity keeps increasing, hence the rate of change of flux increases. Hence, (a) As magnet approaches the coil, E.M.F. increases (A to B) (b) The magnet enters the coil and rate of change of flux becomes constant, hence, the E.M.F. reduces to zero (B to O) (c) The magnet emerges out of the coil, hence, the direction of E.M.F. reverses and peak becomes sharp as the velocity has raised further (O to C) (d) As the magnet goes away from the coil, the E.M.F. subsequently decreases to zero (C to D). The negative peak is longer than the positive peak, because the velocity of magnet increases with time, giving rise to faster rate of magnetic flux change.

Important facts about electromagnetic waves

The accelerated electric charges radiate electromagnetic waves. A linearly polarized electromagnetic wave, propagating in the z-direction with the oscillating electric field E along the x-direction and the oscillating magnetic field B along the y-direction. Both electric and magnetic field vary in phase with each other. Ex = E0 sin (kz t), By = B0 sin (kz t), k= is the angular frequency, k is the magnitude of the wave vector (or propagation

vector) and its direction describes the direction of propagation of the wave. The speed of propagation of the wave is (co/k). The velocity of electromagnetic waves depends on electric& magnetic properties of the medium, and is given by , where and are the permittivity and permeability of the dielectric

2 1 v =, 1 ( )2

medium respectively. It does not depend upon the amplitude of the field vectors. They cannot propagate within a conductor; they are totally reflected when they strike a conducting surface. The wave is a transverse wave, since the fields are perpendicular to the direction in which the wave travels. All electromagnetic waves, regardless of their frequency, travel through vacuum at the same speed, the speed of light. They travel with a constant velocity of 3 108 m s1 in vacuum. The magnitude of the electric and the magnetic fields in an electromagnetic wave are related as B0 = (E0/c) They are not deflected by electric or magnetic field. They can show interference or diffraction. They may be polarized. They need no medium of propagation. The energy from the sun is received by the earth through electromagnetic waves. A single unit, or quantum, of electromagnetic radiation is called a photon. The wavelength ( ) and the frequency (v) of electromagnetic wave is related as c = v = /k, = ck, v = /2, = 2/k The SI unit of frequency is hertz wiht unit symbol Hz The SI unit of wavelength is metre with unit symbol m. They carry energy with them which is equally divided between electric energy and magnetic energy. Only electric field vector is responsible for the optical effects of electromagnetic waves so it is named as optical or light vector. They transport energy and momentum and can exert pressure on the surface on which it falls. Orderly distribution of electromagnetic radiations according to their wavelength or frequency is called electromagnetic spectrum. 91

4. 5. 6. One, as speed of em waves in vacuum is independent of wavelenght or frequency. Electric current produces a magnetic field around it. Maxwell showed that for logical consistency, a changing electric field must also produce a magnetic field. This effect explains existance of em waves. increases means XC decreases, ID increases. They are mechanical waves hence require material medium for their propagation, can not be considered as em waves. They are in same phase. Sun light is em wave, use 95
