Question
$a$. Draw graphs showing the variations of inductive reactance and capacitive reactance with the frequency of the applied ac source.
$b$. Draw the phasor diagram for a series $RC$ circuit connected to an ac source.
$c$. An alternating voltage of $220 V$ is applied across a device $X,$ a current of $0.25$ A flows, which lag behind the applied voltage in phase by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ radian. If the same voltage is applied across another device $Y,$ the same current flows but now it is in phase with the applied voltage.
$i$. Name the devices $X$ and $Y$.
$ii$. Calculate the current flowing in the circuit when the same voltage is applied across the series combination of $X$ and $Y$.

Answer

$a$. Drawing the two graphs the graph shows the variation of capacitive resistance with frequency and inductive resistance with frequency.
The two graphs are as shown

$b$. Drawing the phaser diagram
$($the current leads the voltage by an angle $\theta$ where $0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2} )$.
The required phaser diagram is as shown.

$[$Here, $\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{1}{\omega C R}\right]$
$c.i$. In device $X$ :
Current lags behind the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore X$ is an inductor.
In device $Y$ :
Current in phase with the applied voltage.
$\therefore Y$ is resistor.
$ii$. We are given that
$0.25=\frac{2 n 0}{X_L}$
or $ X _{ L }=\frac{2 n 0}{02} \Omega=880 \Omega$
Also $0.25=\frac{220}{X_R}$
$\therefore X_R=\frac{220}{0.25} \Omega=880 \Omega$
For the series combination of $X$ and $Y,$
Equivalent impedance $=\sqrt{X_L^2+X_R^2}=(880 \sqrt{2}) \Omega$
$\therefore $ Current flowing $ \frac{220}{880 \sqrt{2}} A=0.177 A$

Two fixed, identical conducting plates $(\alpha\ \&\ \beta)$, each of surface area S are charged to -Q and q, respectively, where Q > q > 0. A third identical plate $(\gamma)$, free to move is located on the other side of the plate with charge q at a distance d (Fig.). The third plate is released and collides with the plate $\beta$. Assume the collision is elastic and the time of collision is sufficient to redistribute charge amongst $\beta\ \&\ \gamma$.

The inverse square law in electrostatics is $|\text{F}|=\frac{\text{e}^2}{(4\pi\epsilon_0)\text{r}^2}$ for the force between an electron and a proton. The $\Big(\frac{1}{\text{r}}\Big)$ dependence of $|F|$ can be understood in quantum theory as being due to the fact that the 'particle' of light $($photon$)$ is massless. If photons had a mass $m_p$, force would be modified to $|\text{F}|=\frac{\text{e}^2}{(4\pi\epsilon_0)\text{r}^2}\Big[\frac{1}{\text{r}^2}+\frac{\lambda}{\text{r}}\Big].\text{e}\times\text{p}(-\lambda\text{r})$ where $\lambda=\frac{\text{m}_\text{p}\text{c}}{\text{h}}$ and $\text{h}=\frac{\text{h}}{2\pi}$. Estimate the change in the ground state energy of a $H-$ atom if $m_p$ were $10^{-6}$ times the mass of an electron.
