FORCE ON CURRENT CARRIYING CONDUCTOR

 Q: Why does a current carrying conductor placed in an magnetic field experiences force ?

Ans: Moving charges experience force in magnetic field. So when a current carrying conductor is placed in the magnetic field,it experiences force due to the force on moving charges inside it.

The formula F=IBLsin@, I= Current,  B =external magnetic field 

L is the length of conductor inside the magnetic field.

MAXIMUM FORCE

When the  conductor is placed perpendicular to the magnetic field.

MINIMUM FORCE

When the conductor is placed parallel to the magnetic fields 

SUBJECTIVE AND OBJECTIVE PROPERTIES OF A SOUND

 Question: What are subjective and objective properties of sound ?

Answer : Subjective properties are basically the properties which can be measured directly. Loudness, pitch (shrillness) and quality(Timbre) of sound are subjective properties. But these properties  are related to the the measurable quantities  called objective properties. 

Objective properties are the properties which can be measured. Intensity,  Amplitude, frequency, wavelength,  time period, intensity, fundamental frequency,  subsidiary frequencies are objective properties. 

Loudness depends on amplitude,  intensity of the sound.

Pitch(shrillness) depends on frequency.

Quality (Timbre) depends on waveform( combination of primary and subsidiary notes).

LOUD SOUND IS HEARD DURING RESONANCE

 QUESTION: Why is loud sound heard at RESONANCE?

 ANSWER: Loud sound is heard at RESONANCE because  amplitude increases when external  frequency is equal or integral multiple of the natural frequency of vibrating body.

EFFECTIVE COOLANT - WATER

Water has high specific heat capacity 4200J/(Kg°C) so it can absorb large amount of heat without much rise in it's own temperature.

ISLANDS ENJOY MODERATE CLIMATE

 Islands or coastal areas enjoy moderate climate. Why?

Ans. Water has higher heat specific capacity than the land due to which there is the continuous formation of sea breeze and land breeze near the coastal areas. This keeps the temperature moderate.

PRINCIPLE OF CALORIMETRY

If no heat is exchanged with surrounding, heat lost by the hot body is equal to heat gained by the cold body. 

70 to 80% water in plants and animals. Why?

Plants and animals have 70-80% water so that they can maintain body temperature as water has high specific heat capacity.

FARMERS FILL THEIR FIELDS WITH WATER.

Farmers fill their crop fields with water to protect from frost: why?

Water has high specific heat capacity so it delays the surrounding temperature to fall to zero degree Celsius ,thus protecting the crops from frost

FOMENTATION

Why is water used in fomentation ?

Water has high specific capacity due to which it cools slowly and imparts large amount of heat to our body.

Why are there only two types of electric charges?

There are two types of charges because we can establish charges only by loss or gain of electrons present in the orbits of an atom. 

By losing electrons  a body gets positively charged and by gaining electrons it gets negatively charged. 

Electron is the fundamental charge. It's taken as negatively charged.
