Anelectronandaprotonstarting from rest get accelerated through potential difference of 100 kV. The final speeds of the electron and the proton are ve and vp, respectively. Who has higher speed.
Here, we can see that mass of proton is very high than mass of electron
so velocity of electronis more than proton
If two vectors A and B are at an angle θ ≠ 0 °, then

The Hooke’s law is valid for
Hooke’s law is valid for only proportional region of the stress- strain curve.
Hooke’s law → stress ∝ strain

Define Convection
Convection is the process of heat transfer of the bulk movement of molecules within fluids such as gases and liquids.
In this process, the heat transfers is by the actual motion of matter. It happens in liquid and gases.
Boiling water, land and sea breeze, circulation of air around blast furnace, etc., are the example of convection.
____ represents a relation for ‘heat lost = heat gained’

Why is argon gas used along with
tungsten wire in an electric bulb?
Argon being an inert gas used in electric bulb to increase the life of the bulb. It prevents the tungsten filaments from descend too quickly.
Whichoneofthefollowingisthe correct relation between the Kelvin temperature T and the Celsius temperature t ?

vacuum.
Which one of the following is the
value of 1 nanometre?
10−7 cm
______ energy is the energy possessed by an object due to its motion.
Kinetic
only _____ energy of an object cannot be conserved but the sum of _____ and potential energies is conserved.

Working of safety fuses depends upon
Working of safety fuses depends upon magnitude of the current and heating effect of the current.
Resistance of wire,
R = ρ l/A
Arayoflightisincidentona plane mirror at an angle of 40° with respect to surface normal. When it gets reflected from the mirror, it undergoes a deviation of
100°
deviation =
δ = 180° − 2∠i
= 180° − 2 × 40°
= 180° − 80° = 100°
After using for some time,big transformers get heated up. This is due to the fact that
(i) The current flowing through the wire of resistance (R ) produces a heat (I2R ).
(ii) The magnetisation of the core
produces heat due to hysteresis
loss.
Joule-Thomsonprocessis extremely useful and economical for attaining low temperature. The process can be categorised as
In Joule-Thomson process, the temperature remains low. Thus, heat content of the process can be taken as constant. Therefore, the process can be categorised as adiabatic process.
Ultrasonicwavesareproducedby making use of
Piezoelectric effect is used in the production of ultrasonic sound waves. Therefore, piezoelectric material, i.e. compound of sodium or potassium can be utilised for the production of ultrasonic waves.
Define chain reaction
Chain reaction is the principle of nuclear reactors, while uncontrolled chain reaction is the principle of atom bomb.
In nuclear reactor, the reaction is controlled by control material like as _________.
cadmium rod or moderator
Whenapieceofpuresiliconis
doped with aluminium, then
the doped silicon piece will become p-type
This type of semiconductor, hence formed by doping of trivalent impurity atoms, i.e. Al is known as p-type semiconductor.
SupposevoltageVisapplied across a resistance R. The power dissipated in the resistance is P. Now, the same voltage V is applied across a parallel combination of three equal resistors each of resistance R. Then, the power dissipated in the second case will be
3P
For parallel combinations,
1/Req =1/R+1/R+1/R=3/R
Req =R/3
Power (P) = V2 / R
In total internal reflection, the
light travels from
denser to rarer medium and it occurs with loss of intensity
In total internal reflection, light travels from an optically denser medium to a rarer medium at the interface. It is partly reflected back into the same medium and partly refracted back to the second medium. The intensity of the reflected and refracted rays do not remain constant but reflection occurs with loss of intensity.
