MCQ
The energy which an ${e^ - }$ acquires when accelerated through a potential difference of $1 \,volt$ is called
  • A
    $1 \,Joule$
  • $1$ $ Electron volt$ 
  • C
    $1\, Erg$
  • D
    $1\, Watt$.

Answer

Correct option: B.
$1$ $ Electron volt$ 
b
(b) this question can be solved by using the formula, $K . E=e V,$ where $e$ is the charge of an electron and $V$ is voltage. so here the kinetic energy would be equal to $\left(1.6 \times 10^{-19}\right) \times 1$ which is $1 e V$

A person of mass $M$ is, sitting on a swing of length $L$ and swinging with an angular amplitude $\theta_0$. If the person stands up when the swing passes through its lowest point, the work done by him, assuming that his centre of mass moves by a distance $l\, ( l < < L)$, is close to
A cylinder made of perfectly non conducting material closed at both ends is divided into two equal parts by a heat proof piston. Both parts of the cylinder contain the same masses of a gas at a temperature $t_0 = 27^o$ and pressure $P_0 = 1$ atm. Now if the gas in one of the parts is slowly heated to $t = 57^oC$ while the temperature of first part is maintained at $t_0$ the distance moved by the piston from the middle of the cylinder will be.... $cm$ (length of the cylinder $= 84\,\, cm$)
