A steel wire of cross-sectional area 0.5mm2 is held between two fixed supports. If the wire is just taut at 20°C, determine the tension when the temperature falls to 0°C. Coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 1.2 × 10-5 °C-1 and its Young's modulus is 2.0 × 1011N m-2.
What is the unit of ratio $\frac{\text{E}}{\text{H}}?$
Show that the minimum energy needed to separate a proton from a nucleus with Z protons and N neutrons is:
$\Delta\text{E}=(\text{M}_{\text{Z}-1,\text{N}}+\text{M}_{\text{H}}-\text{M}_{\text{Z,N}})\text{c}^2$
where MZ,N = mass of an atom with Z protons and N neutrons in the nucleus and MH = mass of a hydrogen atom. This energy is known as proton-separation energy.

+Q charge is given on the positive plate of a capacitor and-Q charge is given on the negative plate. What will be the total charge on the capacitor?
Find the thickness of a plate which will produce a change in optical path equal to half the wavelength $\lambda$ of the light passing through it normally. The refractive index of the plate is $\mu$.
Suppose a charged particle moves with a velocity v near a wire carrying an electric current. A magnetic force, therefore, acts on it. If the same particle is seen from a frame moving with velocity v in the same direction, the charge will be found at rest. Will the magnetic force become zero in this frame? Will the magnetic field become zero in this frame?
