Question
What is perfectly black body? Explain Ferry's black body.
✓
Answer
A perfectly black body which absorbs all the energy incident on it. The coefficient of absorption of lamp black is 98%.
(i) It consist of double walled hollow metal sphere having small aperture.
(ii) Inner surface is coated with lamp black.
(iii) Outer surface is Nickel polished.
(iv) The space between sphere is evacuated.
(v) The radiant energy entering suffers multiple reflection and get 98% absorbed at each reflection.
(vi) Thus the aperture acts as perfectly black body.

How does the coil in a motor rotate by a full rotation? In a motor, we require continuous rotation of the current carrying coil. As the plane of the coil tends to become parallel to the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, the current in the coil is reversed externally. Referring to Fig. the segment ab occupies the position cd. At this position of rotation, the current is reversed. Instead of from $b$ to $a$, it flows from $a$ to $b$, force $\vec{F}_{ m }$ continues to act in the same direction so that the torque continues to rotate the coil. The reversal of the current is achieved by using a commutator which connects the wires of the power supply to the coil via carbon brush contacts.
