Question
A collision experiment is done on a horizontal table kept in an elevator. Do you expect a change in the results if the elevator is accelerated up or down because of the noninertial character of the frame?

Answer

Velocity and mass are only two components that affect collision between two bodies so in this change in acceleration due to gravity will not affect the collision between two bodies. (if kept horizontally)

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force that is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the component of the velocity that is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the charge of the particle.

This force is given by $\vec{\text{F}}=\text{q}(\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}})$ where q is the electric charge of the particle, v is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, and Bis the magnetic field (in tesla).

The direction of force is determined by the rules of cross product of two vectors.

Force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field. Its direction is same as $\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}}$ if q is positive and opposite of $\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}}$ if q is negative.

The force is always perpendicular to both the velocity of the particle and the magnetic field that created it. Because the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the motion, the magnetic field can do no work on an isolated charge. It can only do work indirectly, via the electric field generated by a changing magnetic field.

A charge is a property associated with the matter due to which it experiences and produces an electric and magnetic field. Charges are scalar in nature and they add up like real numbers. Also, the total charge of an isolated system is always conserved. When the objects rub against each other charges acquired by them must be equal and opposite.

A transformer is an electrical device which is used for changing the a.c. voltages. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction i.e. whenever the amount of magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an e.m.f. is induced in the neighbouring coil. For an ideal transformer, the resistances of the primary and secondary windings are negligible.

It can be shown that $\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}}{\text{E}_\text{P}}=\frac{\text{I}_\text{P}}{\text{I}_\text{S}}=\frac{\text{n}_\text{S}}{\text{n}_\text{P}}=\text{K}$

where the symbols have their standard meanings.

For a step up transformer, $\text{n}_\text{S} > \text{n}_\text{P}; \text{E}_\text{S} > \text{E}_\text{P}; \text{k} > \text{I}; \therefore \text{I}_\text{S} < \text{I}_\text{P}$

For a step down transformer, $\text{n}_\text{S} > \text{n}_\text{P}; \text{E}_\text{S} > \text{E}_\text{P}; \text{k} > \text{I};$

The above relations are on the assumptions that efficiency of transfonner is 100%.

lnfact, efficiency $\eta=\frac{\text{output power}}{\text{intput power }}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}\text{I}_\text{S}}{\text{E}_\text{P}\text{I}_\text{P}}$
