Question
A cylindrical vessel, whose diameter and height both are equal to 30cm, is placed on a horizontal surface and a small particle P is placed in it at a distance of 5.0cm from the centre. An eye is placed at a position such that the edge of the bottom is just visible. The particle P is in the plane of drawing. Up to what minimum height should water be poured in the vessel to make the particle P visible?

Answer

For the given cylindrical vessel, dimetre = 30cm ⇒ r = 15cm and h = 30cm Now, $\frac{\sin\text{i}}{\sin\text{r}}=\frac{3}{4}\Big[\mu_{\text{w}}=1.33=\frac{4}{3}\Big]$$\Rightarrow\sin\text{i}=\frac{3}{4\sqrt{2}} \ \big[\because \text{r}=45^{\circ}\big]$
The point P will be visible when the refracted ray makes angle 45° at point of refraction. Let x = distance of point P from X. Now, $\tan45^{\circ}=\frac{\text{x}+10}{\text{d}}$$\Rightarrow\text{d}=\text{x}+10 \ ...(1)$
Again, $\tan\text{i}=\frac{\text{x}}{\text{d}}$$\Rightarrow\frac{3}{\sqrt{23}}=\frac{\text{d}-10}{\text{d}} \ \Big[\text{Since,} \ \sin\text{i}=\frac{3}{4\sqrt{2}}\Rightarrow\tan\text{i}=\frac{3}{4\sqrt{2}}\Big]$
$\Rightarrow\frac{3}{\sqrt{23}}-1=-\frac{10}{\text{d}}\Rightarrow\text{d}=\frac{\sqrt{23}\times10}{\sqrt{23}-3}=26.7\text{cm}$

You are given two sets of potentiometer circuits to measure the emf $E_1$ of a cell. Set $A$: consists of a potentiometer wire of a material of resistivity $\rho_1$, area of cross $-$ section $A_1$ and length $l$. Set $B$: consists of a potentiometer of two composite wire of equal lengths $\frac{\text{l}}{2}$ each, of resistivity $\rho_1,\rho_2$ and area of cross $-$ section $A_1, A_2$ respectively.
Find the relation between resistivity of the two wires with respect to their area of cross section, if the current flowing in the two sets is same. Compare the balancing length obtained in the two sets.

Figure shows a potentiometer with a cell of $2.0 V$ and internal resistance $0.04\ \Omega$ maintaining a potential drop across the resistor wire $AB$. A standard cell which maintains a constant emf of $1.02 V ($for very moderate currents upto a few $mA)$ gives a balance point at $67.3 \ cm$ length of the wire. To ensure very low currents drawn from the standard cell, a very high resistance of $600\ \text{k}\Omega$ is put in series with it, which is shorted close to the balance point. The standard cell is then replaced by a cell of unknown emf $\varepsilon$ and the balance point found similarly, turns out to be at $82.3 \ cm$ length of the wire.
  1. What is the value $\varepsilon?$
  2. What purpose does the high resistance of $600\ \text{k}\Omega$ have?
  3. Is the balance point affected by this high resistance?
  4. Is the balance point affected by the internal resistance of the driver cell?
  5. Would the method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an emf of $1.0 V$ instead of $2.0 V$?
  6. Would the circuit work well for determining an extremely small emf, say of the order of a few $mV ($such as the typical emf of a thermo$-$couple$)$? If not, how will you modify the circuit?
