Question
The current generator $I_g$ shown in figure, sends a constant current i through the circuit. The wire cd is fixed and ab is made to slide on the smooth, thick rails with a constant velocity v towards right. Each of these wires has resistance r. Find the current through the wire cd.

Answer



Initial current passing = i
Hence initial emf = ir
Emf due to motion of ab = Blv
Net emf = ir - Blv
Net resistance = 2r
Hence current passing $=\frac{\text{ir}-\text{Blv}}{2\text{r}}$

The density of water is 1000 $kg m ^{-3}$. The density of water vapour at $100^{\circ} C$ and $1 atm$ pressure is $0.6 kg m ^{-3}$. The volume of a molecule multiplied by the total number gives , what is called, molecular volume. The ratio (or fraction) of the molecular volume to the total volume occupied by the water vapour under the above conditions of temperature and pressure is $6 \times 10^{-4}$. Estimate the volume of a water molecule using this data.
