Question

Explain flow of current in different conductor.

✓

Answer

A current can be generated by positively or negatively charged particles.
In an electrolyte, both positively and negatively charged particles take part in the conduction.
In a metal, the free electrons are responsible for conduction. These electrons flow and generate a net current under the action of an applied electric field.
As long as a steady field exists, the electrons continue to flow in the form of a steady current.
Such steady electric fields are generated by cells

A girl stands 170 m away from a high wall and claps her hands at a steady rateso that each clap coincides with the echo of the one before.
a) If she makes 60 claps in 1 minute, what value should be the speed of sound in air?
b) Now, she moves to another location and finds that she should now make 45 claps in 1 minute to coincide with successive echoes. Calculate her distance for the new position from the wall.

Pluto has mean diameter of $2,300 \ km$ and very eccentric orbit $($oval shaped$)$ around the Sun, with a perihelion $($nearest$)$ distance of $4.4 \times 10^9 km$ and an aphelion $($farthest$)$ distance of $7.3 \times 10^9 km.$ What are the respective solid angles subtended by Pluto from Earth’s perspective? Assume that distance from the Sun can be neglected.

A 2 m long ladder of mass 10 kg is kept against a wall such that its base is 1.2 m away from the wall. The wall is smooth but the ground is rough. Roughness of the ground is such that it offers a maximum horizontal resistive force (for sliding motion) half that of normal reaction at the point of contact. A monkey of mass 20 kg starts climbing the ladder. How far can it climb along the ladder? How much is the horizontal reaction at the wall? [Ans: 1.5 m, 15 N]
