Question
How will the thermionic current vary if the filament current is increased?
✓

Answer

If the filament current is increased, it will increase the temperature of the cathode (metal) and the cathode will emit more electrons. This will lead to an increase in the number of thermions emitted per unit time. As a result, the thermionic current will increase.

In a gas the particles are always in a state of random motion, all the particles move at different speed constantly colliding and changing their speed and direction, as speed increases it will result in an increase in its kinetic energy.

Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.
Relative velocity is velocity of any object with respect to other object which may be stationary or moving. Consider two objects A and B moving uniformly with average velocities vA and vB in one dimension, say along x-axis. (Unless otherwise specified, the velocities mentioned in this chapter are measured with reference to the ground). If xA (0) and xB (0) are positions of objects A and B, respectively at time t = 0, their positions xA (t) and xB (t) at time t are given by
xA (t) = xA (0) + vA t
xB (t) = xB (0) + vB t
Then, the displacement from object A to object B is given by
xBA(t) = xB (t) – xA (t)
= [xB (0) – xA (0) ] + (vB – vA) t.
It tells us that as seen from object A, object B has a velocity vB – vA because the displacement from A to B changes steadily by the amount vB – vA in each unit of time. We say that the velocity of object B relative to object A is vB – vA
VBA = vB – vA
Similarly, velocity of object A relative to object B is:
VAB = vA – vB
This shows VBA= – VAB.
  1. Velocity of object A relative to object B is:
  1. VAB = vA – vB
  2. VBA = vB – vA
  3. None of these

Indian style of cooling drinking water is to keep it in a pitcher having porous walls. Water comes to the outer surface very slowly and evaporates. Most of energy needed for evaporation is taken from the water itself and the water is cooled down. Assume that a pitcher contains 10kg of water and 0.2g of water comes out per second. Assuming no backward heat transfer from the atmosphere to the water, calculate the time in which the temperature decrease by 5°C. Specific heat capacity of water = 4200J kg-1°C-1 and latent heat of vaporization of water = 2.27 × 106 J kg-1.

PE of Spring

There are many types of spring. Important among these are helical and spiral springs as shown in figure.

Usually, we assume that the springs are massless. Therefore, work done is stored in the spring in the form of elastic potential energy of the spring. Thus, potential energy of a spring is the energy associated with the state of compression or expansion of an elastic spring.

 

  1. The potential energy of a body is increases in which of the following cases?
  1. If work is done by conservative force
  2. If work is done against conservative force
  3. If work is done by non-conservative force
  4. If work is done against non- conservative force
  1. The potential energy, i.e. U (x) can be assumed zero when:
