MUSING

hysics Musing was started in August 2013 issue of Physics For You with the suggestion of Shri Mahabir Singh. The aim of Physics Musing is to augment the chances of bright students preparing for JEE (Main and Advanced) / AIIMS / Other PMTs with additional study material. In every issue of Physics For You, 10 challenging problems are proposed in various topics of JEE (Main and Advanced) / various PMTs. The detailed solutions of these problems will be published in next issue of Physics For You. The readers who have solved five or more problems may send their detailed solutions with their names and complete address. The names of those who send atleast five correct solutions will be published in the next issue. We hope that our readers will enrich their problem solving skills through “Physics Musing” and stand in better stead while facing the competitive exams.

Pressure inside a liquid

We choose atmospheric pressure = P0 At a depth h below the free surface, pressure = P. P0

h P

To find P, we choose a liquid column of height h and crosssectional area A. Since the liquid column is unaccelerated, P0A + mg = PA ⇒ P = P0 +

mg r( Ah) = P0 + g A A

⇒ P = P0 + rgh The additional pressure with respect to atmospheric pressure is known as Gauge pressure. Hence we conclude that pressure changes by an amount rgh on moving through a distance h vertically. Note that this result has been derived from equilibrium of the liquid column. Hence if the container or liquid was vertically accelerated, it would not be applicable. In such cases if the container is vertically accelerated, say upward with a, then (Fnet)upward direction = ma ⇒ (PA) – (P0A + mg) = ma m ⇒ P = P0 + ( g + a) A ⇒ P = P0 + r(g + a)h \ We replace g with geff where,    g eff = g + (−a ) \ P = P0 + rgeff h So, it is interesting to see that we can also have a situation that all points inside a liquid irrespective of

their location, will have same pressure as atmospheric if geff = 0, as in case of free fall. Measurement of atmospheric pressure (P0)

We take a tub filled partially with mercury and a tube completely filled with mercury. We seal the mouth of the tube and invert it upside down with the mouth inside the mercury in the tub. The liquid in the tube drops down a little, creating almost vacuum in the upper closed end of the tube as shown. At equilibrium, PA + rgh = PB = PC = P0 ⇒ rgh = P0 [ PA = 0] Hence, measuring the length of the liquid column in the tube, P0 can easily be calculated. Taking P0 = 1 atm ≈ 105 N m–2 For Hg, r = 13.6 g cm–3, h comes out to be almost 760 mm or 76 cm. Hence you would often see that pressure is given in terms of length and not N m–2 or pascal. If instead of Hg, some other liquid is used, to find the height of liquid risen we can easily use, r1h1 = r2h2 Supposedly, we keep this set-up in an upward accelerating frame, then how will h change? Clearly, in such case also, atmospheric pressure does not change, we need to change g with geff. \ P1 = rgh = rg eff h′ = r(g + a)h′  g  \ h′ =  h  g + a  \ h′ < h ⇒ height of liquid column decreases.

Pressure difference in a horizontally accelerated container

In such case, clearly, the pressure at same horizontal level would not be same. To know the exact relation we consider a thin horizontal liquid column of length l as drawn. Hence from free body diagram,

Since, geff is perpendicular to inclined plane, hence free surface of liquid is parallel to inclined plane. Hence a = 0° U-tubes

(P2A – P1A) = ma ⇒ (P2 – P1)A = (rAl)a ⇒ P2 = P1 + ral \ DP = ral along horizontal, as DP = rgh along vertical. Vertically pressure increases in the direction of gravity, horizontally acceleration increases opposite to the direction of acceleration. Let us calculate the inclination of free surface with horizontal now. We can find pressure at B from A as well as C. PB = PA + rgh = PC + raL h a ⇒ tan q = = L g This could also have been found out using the fact that liquids cannot tolerate tangential force on its surface.  Hence the free surface should be perpendicular to g eff as below.    g eff = g + (−a ) [We revert the acceleration of container and add it vectorially to g ]

Let us apply this to a more complicated situation. Assume a container falling down on a smooth inclined plane. We have to find a. Clearly, a = gsinq downwards    Hence, g eff = g + (−a )

Let us consider a U-tube filled with two immiscible liquids on two limbs. Note that, PC = PF but PA ≠ PD PB ≠ PE, even though (A, D) and (B, E) pair of points are at same level. Since if we move up from C to B and F to E, the change in height is same but we have different density of liquids hence r1h ≠ r2h. If difference in height of free surface of liquids is to be calculated in terms of H, PC = PF  r2  ⇒ P0 + r1gh1 = P0 + r2 gH ⇒ h1 =   H  r1   r  \ Dh = 1 − 2  H  r1  Archimedes’ principle

If an object is submerged inside a liquid, partially or completely, it experiences an upward force by the liquid due to pressure difference along the vertical column of the liquid, which is equal to the weight of liquid displaced by the object. To prove this, let us imagine an object of cross-sectional area A and height H partially submerged till height h as shown here.

\ By definition, force of upthrust (also known as buoyant force) is Fup = (P0 + rl gh)A – P0A = rl (hA)g = rlVsub g = weight of displaced liquid Physics for you | november ‘15

Note : This result is applicable only if the container is vertically unaccelerated, else we need to replace g with geff in the result. Now, let us see what would the condition of floatation for the object be. For equilibrium, Fup = mg ⇒ rl(Ah)g = rs(AH)g h rs ⇒ = ≤ 1 [ h ≤ H for floatation] H rl \ If rs ≤ rl, the object floats, else it sinks. Hence it does not matter how heavy an object is for floating, what matters is how dense the object is! h is Note here, that the fraction of submerged portion, H independent of g, hence even in accelerated containers, this same fraction will be submerged. Now, let us seen an application. Suppose a helium filled balloon is floating in air (their densities He air given as rHe and rair) with a string tied to a box as shown here. Now, if the box is accelerated towards right with acceleration a, we have to find the direction and angle with the vertical in which the string gets deflected at equilibrium. One would be tempted to say that the string will deflect towards left due to the pseudo force. But there is a basic point, one is missing here. As we saw force of upthrust being generated due to pressure difference along vertical column of liquid, similar to it a side thrust can also be generated if pressure difference is created along horizontal column and on similar approach it can be proved. Fside thrust = rl Vsub a Hence, since, rair > rHe, so side thrust will be greater than the pseudo force, so the  balloon deflects towards right. airVg

Force exerted by a liquid on a vertical surface

Let us assume, that the wall of a dam of width w stops a liquid of height h from flowing. It obviously is experiencing force due to the liquid’s pressure. To find this, let us consider a horizontal strip of height dy at a depth y below the free surface. The force experienced by this surface due to pressure of liquid is dF = (rgy)(dyw) (P0 is not considered since it is due to atmosphere) h

ElEctrostatics Electrostatics is the branch of science that deals with the study of electric charges at rest. Here we study the forces, fields and potentials associated with static charges.



Electric charges

Charges are of two types, positive charge and negative charge. The charge developed on a glass rod when rubbed with silk is positive charge. The charge developed on a plastic rod when rubbed with wool is negative charge.



Basic properties of charge • •









Charge is a scalar quantity. Charge is transferable : If a charged body is put in contact with an uncharged body, the uncharged body becomes charged due to transfer of electrons from one body to the other. Charge is always associated with mass, i.e., charge can not exist without mass though mass can exist without charge. So, the presence of charge itself is a convincing proof of existence of mass. Quantization of charge : Total charge on a body is always an integral multiple of a basic unit of charge denoted by e and is given by q = ne where n is any integer, positive or negative and e = 1.6 × 10–19 C. The basic unit of charge is the charge that an electron or proton carries . By convention the charge on electron is –e (–1.6 × 10–19 C) and charge on proton is +e (1.6 × 10–19 C). Additivity of charge : Total charge of a system is the algebraic sum (i.e. sum is taking into account



with proper signs) of all individual charges in the system. Conservation of charge : Total charge of an isolated system remains unchanged with time. In other words, charge can neither be created nor be destroyed. Conservation of charge is found to hold good in all types of reactions either chemical or nuclear. Charge is invariant : Charge is independent of the frame of reference. Like charges repel each other while unlike charges attract each other.

charging of a Body

Charging a body means transfer of charges (electrons) from one body to the other. A body can be positively charged by losing some of its electrons and it can be negatively charged by gaining electrons. Methods of charging : A body can be charged by • Friction • Induction • Conduction Charging by induction is preferred because one charged body can be used to charge any number of uncharged bodies without any loss of charge. If q be the source of charge, then charge induced on a body of dielectric 1  constant K is given by q′ = − q 1 −  K For metals, K = ∞ \ q′ = –q Physics for you | november ‘15

i.e., charges induced are equal and opposite only in case of conductors. In general, magnitude of induced charge is less than that of inducing charge. coulomb’s law

It states that, the electrostatic force between two stationary charges is proportional to the product of magnitude of charges and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. qq i.e., F ∝ 1 2 2 r qq 1 . 1 2 F= 4 pe0 r 2 1 = k = 9 × 109 N m 2C −2 Here 4pe 0 is proportionality constant. e0 = 8.854 × 10–12 C 2 N–1 m–2 is permittivity of free space. Vectorially Coulomb’s law can be written as  q1q2   1 F12 = (r − r ) 4pe 0 | r1 − r2 |3 1 2 (The force on charge q1 due to charge q2)  q1q2   1 (r − r ) and F21 = 4pe 0 | r1 − r2 |3 2 1 (The force on charge q2 due to charge q1) where the position vectors of charges q1 and q2 are   r1 and r2. The Coulomb’s force between two charged particles in a medium is 1 q1q2 1 q1q2 Fmedium = = 4pe r 2 4pe 0e r r 2 F Fmedium = vacuum er KEY POINT • Permittivity is a measure of how an electric field

and

Coulomb force and gravitational force follow the same inverse square law. Coulomb force can be attractive or repulsive while gravitational force is always attractive. Coulomb force between the two charges depends on the medium between two charges while gravitational force is independent of the medium between the two bodies. The ratio of coulomb force to the gravitational force between two protons at same distance apart is e2 = 1.3 × 1036 4pe 0Gm pm p Physics for you | november ‘15

Superposition theorem : The interaction between any two charges is independent of the presence of all other charges. Electrical force is a vector quantity therefore, the net force on any one charge is the vector sum of all the forces exerted on it due to each of the other charges interacting with it independently i.e, Total force on charge q,     F = F1 + F2 + F3 + ....... continuous charge Distribution

Linear charge density : Charge per unit length is known as linear charge density. It is denoted by symbol l. Charge l= Length Its SI unit is C m–1. Surface charge density : Charge per unit area is known as surface charge density. It is denoted by symbol s. Charge s= Area Its SI unit is C m–2. Volume charge density : Charge per unit volume is known as volume charge density. It is denoted by symbol r. Charge r= Volume Its SI unit is C m–3.

An electric field is a region where an electric charge experiences a force. If a very small, positive point charge Q is placed at any point in an electric field and it experiences a force F, then the electric field at that point is defined as E=

F Q

The magnitude of E is the force per unit charge and its direction is that of F(i.e., of the force which acts on a positive charge). Thus, electric field is a vector quantity. If F is in newton (N) and Q is in coulomb (C) then the unit of E is newton per coulomb (N C–1).

By Coulomb’s law, the force F on q is  1 qq0 ,  F ∴ E = 1 q0 E= F= 4 pe r 2 q 4pe r 2  as shown. If a point charge E is directed away from +q  0 –q0 is replaced by +q0, E would be directed towards –q0 since unlike charges attract. Electric field lines

An electric field can be represented and so visualized by electric field lines. These are drawn so that, the field lines at a point, (or the tangent to it if it is curved) gives  the direction of E at that point, i.e., the direction in which positive charge would move and the number of lines per unit cross-section area is proportional to E. The field lines are imaginary but the field it represents is real. +q

Electric field due to a Point charge

The magnitude of E due to an isolated positive point

The friction caused by rapidly rising and falling currents of moving air creates electrical charges within a cloud. Water droplets and ice pellets fall, carrying charged electrons to the lower portion of the cloud, where a negative charge builds. A positive charge builds up near the top of a cloud. most of the electrical energy in a thunderstorm is dissipated within the clouds, as lightning hops between the positively and negatively charged areas. Lightning becomes dangerous, though, when it reaches earth. When the negative charge in the cloud becomes great enough, it seeks an easy path to the positively charged ground below. The current looks for a good conductor of electricity, or a tall structure anchored to the ground. As negative charges collect at the bottom of a storm cloud, a change happens on the ground below. electrons on the ground feel the power of the cloud’s negative charges. The electrons are pushed away from the area underneath the cloud. The ground and the objects on it are left with a positive charge. If you were standing on the ground below a storm cloud, you wouldn’t be able to see electrons move. but you might feel your skin tingle or your hair stand on end. As the ground becomes positively charged, the attraction between the cloud and the ground grows stronger. Suddenly, electrons shoot down from the cloud. They move in a path that reaches out in different directions—like the branches of a tree. each branch, or step, is about 45 m long. This branching path is called a stepped leader. After the first electrons have blasted their way through the air, other electrons from the cloud follow and make new branches. A stepped leader cuts through the air very quickly. Its average speed is about 1.2 × 105 m s–1. As the stepped leader nears the ground, a positive streamer reaches up for it. only then, once this channel is made, does the visible lightning happen. A return stroke runs from the ground to the clouds in a spectacular flash. Though the bolt appears continuous, it is actually a series of short bursts. most lightning strikes occur in less than a half second and the bolt is usually less than 5 cm in diameter.

The electric field due to a positive point charge is represented by straight lines originating from the charge as shown in figure (i). The electric field due to a negative point charge is represented by straight lines terminating at the charge as shown in figure (ii). The lines of force for a charge distribution containing more than one charge, is such that from each charge we can draw the lines isotropically. The lines may not be straight as one moves away from a charge. The shape of lines for some charge distribution is shown below.

  φ= ∫ E ⋅ dS where ∫ represents closed integral done for a closed surface. The SI unit of electric flux is N m2 C–1 and its dimensional formula is [ML3T–3A–1]. ElEctric DiPolE

It is a pair of two equal and opposite charges separated by a small distance. Electric Dipole Moment

It is a vector quantity whose magnitude is equal to product of the magnitude of either charge and distance  between the charges. i.e. | p | = q2a .

By convention the direction of dipole moment is from negative charge to positive charge. The SI unit of electric dipole moment is C m and its dimensional formula is [M0LAT]. The practical unit of electrical dipole moment is debye. Electric field intensity on axial line (End on Position) of the Electric Dipole

The lines of force are purely a geometrical construction which help us to visualise the nature of electric field in the region. They have no physical existence. The number of lines originating or terminating on a charge is proportional to the magnitude of charge. In rationalised MKS system (1/e0) electric lines are associated with unit charge. So if a body encloses a charge q, total lines of force associated with it (called flux) will be q/e0. Lines of force per unit area normal to the area of a point represents magnitude of intensity, crowded lines represent strong field while distant lines represent weak field. Electric flux

If the lines of force pass through a surface then the surface is said to have flux linked with it. It is given by   dφ = E ⋅ dS  where dS is the area vector of the small area element. The area vector of a closed surface is always in the direction of outward drawn normal. The total flux linked with whole of the body 34

On the basis of conductivity, all bodies can be divided in two classes, conductors and insulators. In conductors, electric charges are free to move throughout the volume. Insulators do not have free charges to move. Basic electrostatics properties of a conductor • Inside a conductor, electric field is zero. • At the surface of a charged conductor, electric field must be normal to the surface at every point. • The interior of a conductor can have no excess charge in the static situation. • Electric potential is constant throughout the volume of the conductor and has the same value (as inside) on its surface. • Electric field at the surface of a charged conductor  s E = n^ e0 where s is the surface charge density and n^ is a unit vector normal to the surface in the outward direction. Electrostatic shielding : It is the phenomenon of protecting a certain region of space from external electric field. Polar and non-Polar Molecules Dielectrics : Dielectrics are non conducting substances. In contrast to conductors, they have no (or negligible number of) charge carriers. Polar molecule : A polar molecule is one in which the centres of positive and negative charges are separated (even when there is no external field). A polar molecule has a permanent dipole moment e.g., water (H2O) and HCl. Non-polar molecule : A non-polar molecule is one in which the centres of positive and negative charges coincide. A non-polar molecule has no permanent dipole moment. e.g., oxygen (O2) and hydrogen (H2). Polarisation : The dipole moment per unit volume  is called polarisation and is denoted by P. For linear   isotropic dielectrics P = c e E , where ce is a constant characteristic of the dielectric and is called the electric susceptibility of the dielectric medium.

The dimentional formula of current is [M°L°T°A] Drift Velocity

It is defined as the average velocity with which free electrons get drifted towards the positive end of the conductor under the influence of an external electric field. Drift velocity of electrons is given by  eE  vd = − t m where –e is the charge and m is the mass of an electron,  E is the electric field applied and t is known as relaxation time. The value of drift velocity of an electron is about 10–4 m s–1 and value of relaxation time is about 10–14 second. The direction of drift velocity of electrons in a metal  conductor is opposite to that of electric field applied E. Drift velocity depends on electric field as vd ∝ E.

O The slope of V-I graph gives resistance. V R = = tan q (slope of V -I graph) I Electrical resistance The resistance of a conductor is the obstruction posed by the conductor to the flow of current through it. Resistance of a conductor (R) is defined as the ratio of potential difference (V) applied across the ends of conductor to the current (I) flowing through it. V R= I Resistance is a property of the conductor and is not related to the circuit in which the conductor is connected. The V equation R = can be used to calculate the current in I a conductor if we know the resistance and the potential difference across the conductor. The SI unit of resistance is ohm (W) and its dimensional formula is [ML2T–3A–2]. The resistance of a conductor not only depends on the material of the conductor but also on the dimensions of the conductor. The resistance of a conductor is proportional to its length and inversely proportional to its area of crosssection. l l R∝ or R = r A A where constant of proportionality r is called resistivity. The SI unit of resistivity is W m and its dimensional formula is [ML3T–3A–2]. m The resistivity of a conductor is r = 2 ne t where m is the mass and e is the magnitude of charge of an electron, n is the number density of electrons, t is the relaxation time. The resistivity of a conductor is independent of its dimensions but depends on the material of the conductor. A perfect conductor would have zero resistivity and a perfect insulator would have infinite resistivity. 42

Ohmic conductors : Those conductors which obey Ohm’s law are called ohmic conductors, e.g. metals. For Ohmic conductors, V-I graph is a straight line passing through the origin. Non-ohmic conductors : Those conductors which do not obey Ohm’s law are called non-ohmic conductors e.g. diode valve, junction diode. For non-ohmic conductors V-I graph is non-linear. Effect of temperature on resistance

The resistance of a metallic conductor increases with increase in temperature. The resistance of a conductor at temperature T°C is given by RT = R0 (1 + aT + bT2) where RT is the resistance at T°C, R0 is the resistance at 0°C and a and b are the characteristics constants of the material of the conductor. If the temperature T°C is not sufficiently large, b is negligible, the above relation can be written as

RT = R0 (1 + aT) where a is the temperature coefficient of resistance. Its unit is K–1 or °C–1. For metals, a is positive, therefore resistance of a metal increases with rise in temperature. For insulators and semiconductors, a is negative therefore their resistance decreases with rise in temperature. For alloys like manganin and constantan, the value of a is very small as compared to that for metals. Due to high resistivity and low temperature coefficient of resistance, these alloys are used in making standard resistance coils. thermistors

A thermistor is a heat sensitive device whose resistivity changes very rapidly with change of temperature. colour code for resistors

A colour code is used to indicate the resistance value and its percentage accuracy. Every resistor has a set of coloured rings on it.

Kirchhoff’s Laws

There are two laws given by Kirchhoff for determination of potential difference and current in different branches of any complicated network. first law (Junction rule)

In an electric circuit, the algebraic sum of the current meeting at any junction is zero. I2 Sum of the currents entering I3 the junction is equal to sum I1 of the currents leaving I5 the junction. SI = 0 48

In any closed circuit, the algebraic sum of emfs and algebraic sum of potential drop is zero. SIR + Se = 0 This law is based on law of conservation of energy. While moving from negative to positive terminal inside the cell, emf is taken as positive while moving in the direction of current in a circuit the potential drop (i.e., IR) across resistance is taken as negative. When we move through a resistor in the same direction as current, the IR term is negative because the current goes in the direction of decreasing potential. When we move through a resistor in the direction opposite to the assumed current, the IR term is positive because this represents a rise of potential. According to sign convention while traversing a closed loop (in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction), if negative pole of the cell is encountered first then its emf is positive, otherwise negative. The product of resistance and current in an arm of the circuit is taken positive if the direction of current in that arm is in the same sense as one moves in a closed loop and is taken negative if the direction of current in that arm is opposite to the sense as one moves in the closed loop.

Wheatstone’s Bridge

It is an arrangement of four resistances P, Q, R and S connected as shown in the figure. Their values are so adjusted that the galvanometer G shows no deflection. The bridge is then said to be balanced. When this happens, the points B and D are at the same potential and no current flows through galvanometer and it can P R be shown that = Q S This is called the balancing condition. If any three resistances are known, the fourth can be found.

e1 l1 = e 2 l2

where l1, l2 are the balancing lengths of potentiometer wire for the emfs e1 and e2 of two cells respectively. Determination of internal resistance of a cell by potentiometer

Metre bridge or slide metre bridge

It is based on the principle of Wheatstone’s bridge.

 l1 − l2  R Internal resistance of cell, r =   l2  where l1 = balancing length of potentiometer wire corresponding to emf of the cell, l2 = balancing length of potentiometer wire corresponding to terminal potential difference of the cell when a resistance R is connected in series with the cell whose internal resistance is to be determined. Joule’s Law of heating

The unknown resistance, R = Sl 100 − l where l is the balancing length of metre bridge. Potentiometer

Principle of potentiometer : It is based on the fact that the fall of potential across any portion of the wire is directly proportional to the length of that portion provided the wire is of uniform area of cross-section and a constant current is flowing through it. i.e., V ∝ l (If I and A are constants) or V = Kl

According to Joule’s heating effect of current, the amount of heat produced (H) in a conductor of resistance R, carrying current I for time t is H = I2Rt (in joule) I 2Rt (in calorie) or H = J where J is Joule’s mechanical equivalent of heat (= 4.2 J/cal). Electric Power

1. Two equal masses of 6.4 kg are separated by a distance of 0.16 m. A small body of mass M = 0.10 kg is released from a point P equidistant from the two masses and a distance 0.06 m from the line joining them, as shown in figure.

(a) Calculate the velocity of this body when it passes through point Q. (b) Compute the acceleration of this body at P and Q. 2. A cosmic body P coming from infinity with velocity v0 is approaching the Sun of mass M, with its line of motion at distance d from the Sun as shown in figure. When it gets closest to the Sun, i.e. at point O, what will be its distance from the Sun?

3. A planet moves around the Sun in an elliptical orbit of semi-major axis a and eccentricity e. If the mass of the Sun is M, find the velocity of the planet at the perigee and apogee.

4. Two particles of masses m and 2m are placed at a distance d apart. Initially 2m is given a velocity u away from m and m is at rest. Find the minimum separation between the particles. 5.

The figure shows a semicircle of mass m and radius r. Find the gravitational field intensity at centre O of the semicircle ? 6. Light from a massive star suffers gravitational red shift, i.e., its wavelength changes towards the red end due to the gravitational attraction of the star. Obtain the formula for this gravitational red shift using the simple consideration that a photon of frequency u has energy hu and mass = hu/c2. 7. Two equal masses m each are hung from a balance whose scale pans differ in vertical height by h. Find the error in weighing, if any, in terms of earth’s density r. SOLUTIONS

When the body is at point P, then there are two forces of equal magnitude along PA and PB. The magnitude of either force is GMm F= 2 r The resultant force along PQ is given by FR = Fcosq + Fcosq = 2Fcosq, 0.06 0.06 where, cosq = = = 0.6 r 0.1 ⇒ FR = 1.2F = =
