Question
Figure shows a situation similar to the previous problem. All parameters are the same except that a battery of emf $\epsilon$ and a variable resistance R are connected between O and C. The connecting wires have zero resistance. No external force is applied on the rod (except gravity, forces by the magnetic field and by the pivot). In what way should the resistance R be changed so that the rod may rotate with uniform angular velocity in the clockwise direction? Express your answer in terms of the given quantities and the angle $\theta$ made by the rod OA with the horizontal.

Answer


$\text{emf}=\frac{1}{2}\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2$ [from previous problem]
Current $= \frac{\text{e}+\text{E}}{\text{R}}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\times\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2+\text{E}}{\text{R}}$
$=\frac{\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2 +2\text{E}}{2\text{R}}$
$\Rightarrow \text{mg} \cos \theta =\text{ilB}$ [Net force acting on the rod is O]
$\Rightarrow \text{mg}\cos\theta =\frac{\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2+2\text{E}}{2\text{R}}\text{a}\times\text{B}$
$\Rightarrow \text{R}=\frac{\big(\text{B}\omega\text{a}^2+2\text{E}\big)\text{ab}}{2\text{mg}\cos\theta}$

Ajit had a high tension tower erected on his farm land. He kept complaining to the authorities to remove it as it was occupying a large portion of his land. His uncle, who was a teacher, explained to him the need for erecting these towers for efficient transmission of power. As Ajit realised its significance, he stopped complaining. 
Answer the following questions:
  1. Why is it necessary to transport power at high voltage?
  2. A low power factor implies large power loss. Explain.
  3. Write two values each displayed by Ajit and his uncle.

$c$. Draw the ray diagram for the case $\mu_1>\frac{\left(\mu_2+1\right)}{2}$, when the object is kept far away from the lens. Point out the nature of the image formed by the system.
The optical properties of a medium are governed by the relative permitivity $(\epsilon_\text{r})$ and relative permeability $(\mu_\text{r})$. The refractive index is defined as $\sqrt{\mu_\text{r}\epsilon_\text{r}}=\text{n}$. For ordinary material $\epsilon_\text{r}=0$ and $\mu_\text{r}<0$ and the positive sign is taken for the square root. In $1964, $ a Russian scientist $V$. Veselago postulated the existence of material with $\epsilon_\text{r}=0$ and $\mu_\text{r}<0$. Since then such 'metamaterials' have been produced in the laboratories and their optical properties studied. For such materials $\text{n}=-\sqrt{\mu_1\epsilon_1}$. As light enters a medium of such refractive index the phases travel away from the direction of propagation.
