Question
A solid wire of radius 10cm carries a current 5.0A distributed uniformly over its cross-section. Find the magnetic field B at a point at a distance (a) 2cm (b) 10cm and (c) 20cm away from the axis. Sketch a graph of B versus x for 0 < x < 20cm.

Answer

  1. $r = 10cm = 10 \times 10^{-2}m$
$x = 2 \times 10^{-2}m,$
i = 5A
i in the region of radius 2cm
$\frac{5}{\pi(10\times\times10^{-2})^2}\times\pi(2\times10^{-2})^2=0.2\text{A}$
$\text{B}\times\pi(2\times10^{-2})^2=\mu_0(0-2)$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times0.2}{\pi\times4\times10^{-4}}=\frac{0.2\times10^{-7}}{10^{-4}}=2\times10^{-4}$
  1. 10cm radius
$\text{B}\times\pi(10\times10^{-2})^2=\mu_0\times5$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{4\pi\times10^{-7}\times5}{\pi\times10^{-2}}=20\times10^{-5}$
  1. x = 20cm
$\text{B}\times\pi(20\times10^{-2})^2=\mu_0\times5$
$\Rightarrow\text{B}=\frac{\mu_0\times5}{\pi\times(20\times10^{-2})^2}=\frac{4\pi10^{-7}\times5}{\pi\times400\times10^{-4}}=5\times10^{-5}$

Two concave mirrors of equal radii of curvature R are fixed on a stand facing opposite directions. The whole system has a mass m and is kept on a frictionless horizontal table.

Two blocks A and B, each of mass m, are placed on the two sides of the stand. At t = 0, the separation between A and the mirrors is 2 R and also the separation between B and the mirrors is 2 R. The block B moves towards the mirror at a speed v. All collisions which take place are elastic. Taking the original position of the mirrors-stand system to be x = 0 and X-axis along AB, find the position of the images of A and B at t =

Deutrium was discovered in 1932 by Harold Urey by measuring the small change in wavelength for a particular transition in ${ }^1 \mathrm{H}$ and ${ }^2 \mathrm{H}$. This is because, the wavelength of transition depend to a certain extent on the nuclear mass. If nuclear motion is taken into account then the electrons and nucleus revolve around their common centre of mass. Such a system is equivalent to a single particle with a reduced mass $\mu$, revolving around the nucleus at a distance equal to the electron-nucleus separation. Here $\mu=\frac{m_e M}{m_e+M}$ where $M$ is the nuclear mass and me is the electronic mass. Estimate the percentage difference in wavelength for the $1^{\text {st }}$ line of the Lyman series in ${ }^1 \mathrm{H}$ and ${ }^2 \mathrm{H}$. (Mass of ${ }^1 \mathrm{H}$ nucleus is $1.6725 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$, Mass of ${ }^2 \mathrm{H}$ nucleus is $3.3374 \times 10^{-27} \mathrm{~kg}$, Mass of electron $=9.109 \times 10^{-31} \mathrm{~kg}$ ).

Do the same exercise as above with the replacement of the earlier transformer by a 40, 000-220V step-down transformer (Neglect, as before, leakage losses though this may not be a good assumption any longer because of the very high voltage transmission involved). Hence, explain why high voltage transmission is preferred?

Nuclei with magic no. of proton Z = 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 52 and magic no. of neutrons N = 2, 8, 20, 28, 50, 82 and 126 are found to be very stable.
  1. Verify this by calculating the proton separation energy Sp for $^{120}Sn (Z = 50)$ and $^{121}Sb = (Z = 51)$. The proton separation energy for a nuclide is the minimum energy required to separate the least tightly bound proton from a nucleus of that nuclide. It is given by,
$Sp = (M_{Z-1'\ N} + M_H - M_{Z,N}) c^2.$
Given $^{119}In = 118.9058u, ^{120}Sn = 119.902199u, ^{121}Sb = 120.903824u, ^1H = 1.0078252u.$
