Question
A simple microscope is rated 5 for a normal relaxed eye. What will be its magnifying power for a relaxed farsighted eye whose near point is 40cm?
✓

Answer

The simple microscope has magnification of 5 for normal relaxed eye (D = 25cm).Because, the eye is relaxed the image is formed at infinity (normal adjustment)
So, $\text{m}=5=\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}=\frac{25}{\text{f}}\Rightarrow\text{f}=5\text{cm}$
For the relaxed farsighted eye, $\text{D} = 40\text{cm}$
So, $\text{m}=\frac{\text{D}}{\text{f}}=\frac{40}{5}=8$
So, its magnifying power is 8X.

A cell of emf $E$ and internal resistance $r$ is connected to two external resistances $R_1$ and $R_2$ and a perfect ammeter.The current in the circuit is measured in four different situations:
i. Without any external resistance in the circuit.
ii. With resistance $\mathrm{R}_1$ only.
iii. With $R_1$ and $R_2$ in series combination.
iv. With $R_1$ and $R_2$ in parallel combination.

A molecule of a substance has a permanent electric dipole moment of magnitude $10^{-29} C m$. A mole of this substance is polarised (at low temperature) by applying a strong electrostatic field of magnitude $10^6 V m ^{-1}$. The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of $60^{\circ}$. Estimate the heat released by the substance in aligning its dipoles along the new direction of the field. For simplicity, assume $100 \%$ polarisation of the sample.
