Question
(I) (a) Write two limitations of ohm’s law. Plot their I-V characteristics.
(b) A heating element connected across a battery of 100 V having an internal resistance of $1 \Omega$ draws an initial current of 10 A at room temperature 20.0 °C which settles after a few seconds to a steady value. What is the power consumed by battery itself after the steady temperature of 320.0 °C is attained? Temperature coefficient of resistance averaged over the temperature range involved is $3.70 \times 10^{-4}{ }^{\circ} C ^{-1}$.

Answer

(I) (a) Kirchhoff’s I Law : The algebraic sum of all the currents meeting at a point in an electrical circuit is always equal to zero.

$\left[+l_1\right]+\left[+I_2\right]+\left[-I_3\right]+\left[-l_4\right]+\left[-I_5\right]=0$
OR $l_1+I_2=I_3+l_4+I_5$
Kirchhoff’s II Law : The algebraic sum of the changes in potential around any closed resistor loop must be zero.

$\left[+E_1\right]\left[-I_1 R_1\right]+\left[-E_2\right]+\left[+I_2 R\right]=0$ ..(1)
closed mesh FCDEF
$\left[+E_2\right]+\left[-\left(I_1+I_2\right)\right] R_3+\left[-I_2 R_2\right]=0$ ..(2)

(b) $I=\frac{\varepsilon}{R_0+r} \quad$ Where $R_0$ is resistor at room tempere $20^{\circ}$
$\begin{array}{c}\Rightarrow R_0=\frac{\varepsilon}{L}-1 \\ \text { OR } \quad R_0=\frac{100}{10}-1=R_0=9 \Omega\end{array}$
Now Final temperature is $320^{\circ} C$
$\begin{aligned} R & =R_0(1+\alpha \Delta T) \\ & =9\left(\left(1+3.7 \times 10^{-4} \times 300\right)\right. \\ & =10 Ohm \end{aligned}$
$\begin{aligned} \text { Power Consumed by cell }(P) & =t^2 r \\ & =\left(\frac{t}{k_0+r}\right)^2 \times r \quad \text { Watt } \\ & =\left(\frac{100}{11}\right)^2=82.64 W\end{aligned}$

During a thunderstorm the ‘live' wire of the transmission line fell down on the ground. A group of boys passing through noticed it and some of them wanted to place the wire by the side. As they were approaching the wire and trying to lift it, Bari noticed it and immediately pushed them away to prevent them from touching the wire. Two of them got hunt in the process. Bari took them to a doctor to get medical aid.
Based on the above paragraph, answer the following:
  1. Write two values which Bari displayed during the incident.

In a Young's double slit experiment using monochromatic light, the fringe pattern shifts by a certain distance on the screen when a mica sheet of refractive index 1.6 and thickness 1.964 micron $(1$ micron $= 10^{-6}m)$ is introduced in the path of one of the interfering waves. The mica sheet is then removed and the distance between the screen and the slits is doubled. It is found that the distance between the successive maxima now is the same as the observed fringe-shift upon the introduction of the mica sheet. Calculate the wavelength of the monochromatic light used in the experiment.
