The magnetic field lines prefer to pass through iron than air. Explain why?
✓
Answer
The magnetic field lines prefer to pass through iron than air because the permeability of iron is much larger than air.

A barometer is constructed with its tube having radius 1.0mm. Assume that the surface of mercury in the tube is spherical in shape. If the atmospheric pressure is equal to 76cm of mercury, what will be the height raised in the barometer tube. The contact angle of mercury with glass = 135º and surface tension of mercury = 0.465N/m. Density of mercury = 13600kg/m3.
The charge on a proton is +1.6 × 10-19C and that on an electron is -1.6 × 10-19C. Does it mean that the electron has a charge 3.2 × 10-19C less than the charge of a proton?
In 1959 Lyttleton and Bondi suggested that the expansion of the Universe could be explained if matter carried a net charge. Suppose that the Universe is made up of hydrogen atoms with a number density N, which is maintained a constant. Let the charge on the proton be: ep = -(1 + y)e where e is the electronic charge.
Show that the velocity of expansion is proportional to the distance from the centre.
