Answer


Image

→ The circuit diagram of the full-wave rectifier is shown in the figure. In full wave rectifier, two $p-n$ junction diodes are used.
→ In this type of rectifier, the rectified output voltage is obtained during both the positive as well as negative half of ac cycle. Hence, it is known as full-wave rectifier.
→ As shown in fig., the $p$-side of the two diodes are connected to the ends of the secondary of the transformer. The $n$-side of the diodes are connected together and the output is taken between this common point of diodes and the mid-point of the secondary of the transformer. So for a full wave rectifier the secondary of the transformer is provided with a centre tapping and so it is called centre-tap transformer.
→ As can be seen from fig. (c), the voltage rectified by each diode is only half the total secondary voltage. Each diode rectifies only for half the cycle, but the two do so for alternate cycles. Thus the output between their common terminals and the centre tap of the transformer becomes a full-wave rectifier output.
→ Suppose the input voltage to $A$ with respect to centre tap at any instant is positive. At that instant, voltage $B$ being out of phase should be negative. In this case, diode $D_1$ gets forward biased and conducts, while $D_2$ gets reverse biased and does not conduct. Hence, as shown in fig. c, output current is obtained between two terminals of $R_L$ during this half-cycle.
→ During the other half-cycle, voltage at $A$ is negative and voltage at $B$ is positive. In this case diode $D_1$ is in reverse bias condition and $D_2$ is in forward bias. Hence, in this part of cycle, $D_2$ conducts and output voltage is obtained.
→ Thus, we get output voltage during both positive as well as negative half of the cycle.

The density of nuclear matter is the ratio of the mass of a nucleus to its volume. As the volume of a nucleus is directly proportional to its mass number A, so the density of nuclear matter is independent of the size of the nucleus. Thus, the nuclear matter behaves like a liquid of constant density. Different nuclei are like drops of this liquid, of different sizes but of same density. Let A be the mass number and R be the radius of a nucleus. If m is the average mass of a nucleon, then.

Mass of nucleus = mA

$\text{Volume of nucleus }=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^3=\frac{4}{3}\pi\big(\text{R}_0\text{A}\frac{1}{3}\big)=\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}^3_0\text{A}$

$\therefore\text{Nuclear density},\rho\text{nu}=\frac{\text{Mass of nucleus}}{\text{Volume of nucleus}}\text{or}\ \rho\text{nu}$

$=\frac{\text{MA}}{\frac{4}{3}\pi\text{R}_0^3\text{A}}=\frac{3\text{m}}{4\pi\text{R}_0^3}$

Clearly, nuclear density is independent of mass number A or the size of the nucleus. The nuclear mass density is of the order 1017kg m-3 This density is very large as compared to the density of ordinary matter, say water, for which $\rho$ = 1.0 × 103kg m-3

In the year 1939, German scientist Otto Hahn and Strassmann discovered that when an uranium isotope was bombarded with a neutron, it breaks into two intermediate mass fragments. It was observed that, the sum of the masses of new fragments formed were less than the mass of the original nuclei. This difference in the mass appeared as the energy released in the process. Thus, the phenomenon of splitting of a heavy nucleus (usually A > 230) into two or more lighter nuclei by the bombardment of proton, neutron $\alpha$-particle, etc. with liberation of energy is called nuclear fission.
