Question
If an automobile engine is overheated, it is cooled by putting water on it. It is advised that the water should be put slowly with engine running. Explain the reason.

Answer

In a hot engine the hot parts are expanded because of heat, if cold water is poured suddenly then there will be uneven thermal contraction in the parts. This will result in a stress to develop between the various parts of the engine and may let the engine to crack down.

When a pure resistance R, pure inductor L and an ideal capacitor of capacitance C is connected in series to a source of alternating e.m.f., then current at any instant through the three elements has the same amplitude and is represented as $\text{I} = \text{I}_0\sin\omega\text{t}.$ However, voltage across each element has a different phase relationship with the current as shown in graph. The effective resistance of RLC circuit is called impedance (Z) of the circuit and the voltage leads the current by a phase angle $\phi.$

A narrow tube is bent in the form of a circle of radius R, as shown in figure. Two small holes S and D are made in the tube at the positions at right angle to each other. A source placed at S generates a wave of intensity $I_0$ which is equally divided into two parts: one part travels along the longer path, while the other travels along the shorter path.

where $F$ denotes the force between two charges $q _1$ and $q _2$ separated by a distance $r$ in free space, $\varepsilon_0$ is a constant known as the permittivity of free space. Free space is a vacuum and may be taken to be air practically. If free space is replaced by a medium, then $\varepsilon_0$ is replaced by $\left(\varepsilon_0 k\right)$ or $\left(\varepsilon_0 \varepsilon_r\right)$ where $k$ is known as dielectric constant or relative permittivity.
$(i)$ In coulomb's law, $F =k \frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}$, then on which of the following factors does the proportionality constant $k$ depends?
$(a)$ Nature of the medium between the two charges
$(b)$ Distance between the two charges
$(c)$ Electrostatic force acting between the two charges
$(d)$ Magnitude of the two charges
$(ii)$ Dimensional formula for the permittivity constant $\varepsilon_0$ of free space is
$(a) \left[ M ^{-1} L^3 T^2 A^2\right]$
$(b) \left[ ML ^{-3} T^4 A^2\right]$
$(c) \left[ M ^{-1} L^{-3} T^4 A^2\right]$
$(d) \left[ ML ^{-3} T^4 A^{-2}\right]$
$(iii)$ The force of repulsion between two charges of $1 C$ each, kept $1m$ apart in vaccum is
$(a) \frac{1}{9 \times 10^9} N$
$(b) \frac{1}{9 \times 10^{12}} N$
$(c) 9 \times 10^7 N$
$(d) 9 \times 10^9 N$
$(iv)$ Two identical charges repel each other with a force equal to $10$ mgwt when they are $0.6 m$ apart in air.
$(g =10 m s ^{-2} ).$ The value of each charge is
$(a) 2 mC$

$(a)$ law of conservation of energy
$(b)$ Newton's $2^{nd}$ law of motion
$(c)$ law of conservation of charge .
$(d)$ Newton's law of gravitation
