MCQ
The given graph illustrates a transverse wave travelling on a string at a particular instant, and the points $P, Q, R$ and $S$ represent elements of the string. Which of the following statements about the motion of the elements is correct?
  • A
    The speed of the element at $P$ is a maximum
  • B
    The displacement of the element at $Q$ is always zero.
  • C
    The energy of the element at $R$ is entirely kinetic
  • The acceleration of the element at $S$ is maximum.

Answer

Correct option: D.
The acceleration of the element at $S$ is maximum.
d
Acceleration is maximum at extreme position. Velocity is maximum at mean position.

A potential $V_0$ is applied across a uniform wire of resistance $R$. The power dissipation is $P_1$. The wire is then cut into two equal halves and a potential of $V _0$ is applied across the length of each half. The total power dissipation across two wires is $P_2$. The ratio $P_2: P_1$ is $\sqrt{x}: 1$. The value of $x$ is $.............$.
