Answer

Pure tungsten:
$\phi=4.5\text{eV}$
$\text{A}=60\times10^{4}\text{A/m}^2-\text{k}^2$
$\text{i}=\text{AST}^2\text{e}^{\frac{\phi}{\text{KT}}}$
Thoriated tungsten:
$\phi=2.6\text{eV}$
$\text{A}=3\times10^{4}\text{A/m}^2-\text{k}^2$
$\text{i}_{\text{Thoriated Tungsten}}=5000\text{i}_{\text{Tungsten}}$
So, $5000\times\text{S}\times60\times10^{4}\times\text{T}_2\times\text{e}^{\frac{-4.5\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{t}\times10^{-23}}}$
$\Rightarrow\text{S}\times3\times10^{4}\times\text{T}^2\times\text{e}^{\frac{-2.56\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{T}\times10^{-23}}}$
$\Rightarrow3\times10^{8}\times\text{e}^{\frac{-4.5\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{t}\times10^{-23}}}=\text{e}^{\frac{-2.56\times1.6\times10^{-19}}{1.38\times\text{T}\times10^{-23}}}\times3\times10^4$
Taking 'in'
$\Rightarrow9.21\text{T}=220.29$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=\frac{22029}{9.21}=2391.856\text{K}$

Distance between two successive bright or dark fringes is called fringe width.
$\beta=\text{Y}_\text{n+1}-\text{Y}_\text{n}=\frac{(\text{n}+1)\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}-\frac{\text{n}\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}$

ln practice, we deal with charges much greater in magnitude than the charge on an electron, so we can ignore the quantum nature of charges and imagine that the charge is spread in a region in a continuous manner. Such a charge distribution is known as continuous charge distribution. There are three types of continuous charge distribution : $(i)$ Line charge distribution $(ii)$ Surface charge distribution $(iii)$ Volume charge distribution as shown in figure.

Currents can be induced not only in conducting coils, but also in conducting sheets or blocks. Current is induced in solid metallic masses when the magnetic flux threading through them changes. Such currents flow in the from of irregularly shaped loops throughout the body of the metal. These currents look like eddies or whirlpools in water so they are known as eddy currents. Eddy currents have both undesirable effects and practically useful applications. For example it causes unnecessary heating and wastage of power in electric motors, dynamos and in the cores of transformers.

The triboelectric series is a list that ranks materials according to their tendency to gain or lose electrons. The process of electron transfer as a result of two objects coming into contact with one another and then separating is called triboelectric charging. During such an interaction, one of the two objects will always gain electrons (becoming negatively charged) and the other object will lose electrons (becoming positively charged). The relative position of the two objects on the triboelectric series will define which object gains electrons and which object loses electrons.
In triboelectric series, materials are ranked from high to low in terms of the tendency for the material to lose electron. If an object high up on this list (Glass, for example) is rubbed with an object low down on the list (Teflon, for example), the glass will lose electrons to the teflon. The glass will, in this case, become positively charged and the teflon will become negatively charged. Materials in the middle of the list (steel and wood, for example) are items those do not have a strong tendency to give up or accept electrons.
