The current in a conductor and the potential difference across it… - Vidyadip

Question

The current in a conductor and the potential difference across its ends are measured by an ammeter and a voltmeter. The meters draw negligible currents. The ammeter is accurate but the voltmeter has a zero error (that is, it does not read zero when no potential difference is applied). Calculate the zero error if the readings for two different conditions are 1.75A, 14.4V and 2.75A, 22.4V.

Answer

Let the voltmeter reading when, the voltage is 0 be X.

$\frac{\text{l}_1\text{R}}{\text{l}_2\text{R}}=\frac{\text{V}_1}{\text{V}_2}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{1.75}{2.75}=\frac{14.4-\text{V}}{22.4-\text{V}}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{0.35}{0.55}=\frac{14.4-\text{V}}{22.4-\text{V}}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{0.07}{0.11}=\frac{14.4-\text{V}}{22.4-\text{V}}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{7}{11}=\frac{14.4-\text{V}}{22.4-\text{V}}$

$\Rightarrow7(22.4-\text{V})=11(14.4-\text{V})$

$\Rightarrow156.8-7\text{V}=158.4-11\text{V}$

$\Rightarrow(7-11)\text{V}=156.8-158.4\Rightarrow-4\text{V}=-1.6$

$\Rightarrow\text{V}=0.4\text{V}.$

Einstein’s mass - energy relation emerging out of his famous theory of relativity relates mass (m) to energy (E) as E = mc², where c is speed of light in vacuum. At the nuclear level, the magnitudes of energy are very small. The energy at nuclear level is usually measured in MeV, where 1MeV = 1.6 × 10^-13J; the masses are measured in unified atomic mass unit (u) where 1u = 1.67 × 10^-27kg.

Show that the energy equivalent of 1u is 931.5MeV.
A student writes the relation as 1u = 931.5MeV. The teacher points out that the relation is dimensionally incorrect. Write the correct relation.
