A rectangular conducting loop consists of two wires on two opposite sides of length $l$ joined together by rods of length $d.$ The wires are each of the same material but with cross$-$sections differing by a factor of $2.$ The thicker wire has a resistance $R$ and the rods are of low resistance, which in turn are connected to a constant voltage source $V_0.$ The loop is placed in uniform a magnetic field $B$ at $45^\circ$ to its plane. Find $\tau$, the torque exerted by the magnetic field on the loop about an axis through the centres of rods.
→The coil of an electric bulb takes 40 watts to start glowing. If more than 40W is supplied, 60% of the extra power is converted into light and the remaining into heat. The bulb consumes 100W at 220V. Find the percentage drop in the light intensity at a point if the supply voltage changes from 220V to 200V.
A pendulum clock gives correct time at $20^\circ C$ at a place where $g = 9.800\ m s^{-2}$. The pendulum consists of a light steel rod connected to a heavy ball. It is taken to a different place where $g = 9.788\ m s^{-2}$. At what temperature will it give correct time ? Coefficient of linear expansion of steel $= 12 \times 10^{-6^\circ} C^{-1}$.
→The conductivity of an intrinsic samiconductor depends on temperature as $\sigma=\sigma_0\text{ e}^{\frac{-\Delta\text{E}}{2\text{kT}}}$ where $\sigma_0$ is a constant. Find the temperature at which the conductivity pf an intrinsic germanium semiconductor will be double of its value at T = 300K. Assume that the gap for germanium is 0.650eV and remains constant as the temperature is increased.
→A neutron star has a density equal to that of the nuclear matter. Assuming the star to be spherical, find the radius of a neutron star whose mass is $4.0 \times 10^{30}kg ($twice the mass of the sun$).$
→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.

- What is the value $\varepsilon?$
- What purpose does the high resistance of $600\ \text{k}\Omega$ have?
- Is the balance point affected by this high resistance?
- Is the balance point affected by the internal resistance of the driver cell?
- Would the method work in the above situation if the driver cell of the potentiometer had an emf of $1.0 V$ instead of $2.0 V$?
- 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?
- Two insulated charged copper spheres $A$ and $B$ have their centres separated by a distance of $50 \ cm$. What is the mutual force of electrostatic repulsion if the charge on each is $6.5 \times 10^{-7} C?$ The radii of A and B are negligible compared to the distance of separation.
- What is the force of repulsion if each sphere is charged double the above amount, and the distance between them is halved?
