PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Very short answer type questions

Question 1.
The motion of copper plate is damped when it is allowed to oscillate between the two poles of a magnet. What is the cause of this damping?
Answer:
As the plate oscillate, the changing magnetic flux through the plate produces a strong eddy current in the direction, which opposes the cause. Also, copper being substance, it gets magnetised in the opposite direction, so the plate motion gets damped.

Question 2.
On what factors does the magnitude of the emf induced in the circuit due to magnetic flux depend ?
Answer:
Depends on the time rate of change in magnetic flux (or simply change in Magnetic flux)
\(|\varepsilon|=\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}\)

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 3.
A light metal disc on the top of an electromagnet is thrown up as the current is switched on. Why? Give reason.
Answer:
When the current begins to grow through the electromagnet, the magnetic flux through the disc begins to increase. This sets up eddy current in the disc in the same direction as that of the electromagnetic current.

Thus, if the upper surface of electromagnetic acquires AT-polarity, the lower surface of the disc also acquires N-polarity. As, same magnetic poles repel each other, the light metallic disc is thrown up.

Question 4.
State the Faraday’s law’ of electromagnetic induction.
Answer:
On the basis of his experiment, Faraday gave the following two laws:
First Law: Whenever magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes, an emf is induced in it which lasts, so long as change in flux continuous.
Second Law: The emf induced in loop or closed circuit is directly proportional to the rate of change of magnetic flux linked with the loop
i.e., ε ∝ \(\frac{(-) d \phi}{d t}\) or ε = -N \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\)
where, N= number of turns in the coil. Negative sign indicates the Lenz’s law.

Question 5.
State Lenz’s law. A metallic rod held horizontally along East-West direction, is allowed to fall under gravity. Will there be an emf induced at its ends? Justify your answer.
Answer:
Lenz’s Law: The direction of the induced emf, or the current, in any circuit is such as to oppose the cause that produces it.

Yes, emf will be induced in the rod as there is change in magnetic flux. When a metallic rod held horizontally along East-West direction, is allowed to fall freely under gravity i.e., fall from North to South, the intensity of magnetic lines of the earth’s magnetic field changes through it, i.e., the magnetic flux changes and hence emf induced in it.

Question 6.
How does the mutual inductance of a pair of coils change, when
(i) distance between the coils is increased and
(ii) number of turns in the coils is increased?
Answer:
(i) AΦ = MI, with the increase in the distance between the coils the magnetic flux linked with the secondary coil decreases and hence, the mutual inductance of the two coils will decreases with the increase of separation between them.

(ii) Mutual inductance of two coils can be found out by
M = μ0N1N2 Al i.e.,
M ∝ N1N2, SO, with the increase in number of turns mutual inductance increases.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 7.
Why is the core of a transformer laminated?
Answer:
The core of a transformer is laminated because of preventing eddy current being produced in the core.

Question 8.
How can the self-inductance of a given coil having N number of turns, area of cross-section A and lengths l be increased?
Answer:
The self-inductance can be increased by the help of electric fields. It does not depend on the current through circuit but depends upon the permeability of material from which the core is made up off.

Question 9.
Consider a magnet surrounded by a wire with an on/off switch S (as shown in figure). If the switch is thrown from the off position (open circuit) to the on position (closed circuit), will a current ?Explain (NCERT Exemplar)
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 1
Answer:
No part of the wire is moving and so motional e.m.f. is zero. The magnet is stationary and hence the magnetic field does not change with time. This means no electromotive force is produced and hence no current will flow in the circuit.

Question 10.
A wire in the form of a tightly wound solenoid is connected to a DC source, and carries a current. If the coil is stretched so that there are gaps between successive elements of the spiral coil, will the current increase or decrease? Explain. (NCERT Exemplar)
Answer:
The current will increase. As the wires are pulled apart the flux will leak through the gaps. Lenz’s law demands that induced emf resist this decrease, which can be done by an increase in current.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 11.
A solenoid is connected to a battery so that a steady current flows through it. If an iron core is inserted into the solenoid, will the current increase or decrease? Explain. (NCERT Exemplar)
Answer:
The current will decrease. As the iron core is inserted in the solenoid, the magnetic field increases and the flux increases. Lenz’s law implies that induced emf should resist this increase, which can be achieved by a decrease in current. However, this change will be momentarily.

Question 12.
Consider a metal ring kept (supported by a cardboard) on top of a fixed solenoid carrying a current /. The centre of the ring coincides with the axis of the solenoid. If the current in the solenoid is switched off, what will happen to the ring? (NCERT Exemplar)
Answer:
When the current in the solenoid decreases a current flows in the same direction in the metal ring as in the solenoid. Thus there will be a downward force. This means the ring will remain on the cardboard. The upward reaction of the cardboard on the ring will increase.

Short answer type questions

Question 1.
Consider a closed loop C in a magnetic field (figure). The flux passing through the loop is defined by choosing a surface whose edge coincides with the loop and using the formula Φ = B1 dA1, B2 dA2…. Now, if we choose two different surfaces S1 and S2 having C as their edge, would we get the same answer for flux. Justify your answer. (NCERTExemplar)
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 2
The magnetic flux linked with the surface can considered as the number of magnetic field lines passing through the surface. So, let dΦ = BdA represents magnetic lines in an area A to B.

By the concept of continuity of lines B cannot end or start in space, therefore the number of lines passing through surface S1 must be the same as the number of lines passing through the surface S2. Therefore, in both the cases we gets the same answer for flux.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 2.
What are eddy currents? Write their two applications.
Answer:
Eddy Current: Eddy currents are the currents induced in the bulk pieces of conductors when the amount of magnetic flux linked with the conductor changes.

Eddy currents can be minimised by taking laminated core, consists of thin metallic sheet insulated from each other by varnish instead of a single solid mass. The plane of the sheets should be kept perpendicular to the direction of the currents. The insulation provides high resistance hence, eddy current gets minimised.

Applications
(i) Electromagnetic damping
(ii) Induction furnace.

Question 3.
(i) A rod of length l is moved horizontally with a uniform – velocity v in a direction perpendicular to its length through a region in which a uniform magnetic field is acting vertically downward. Derive the expression for the emf induced across the ends of the rod.

(ii) How does one understand this motional emf by invoking the Lorentz force acting on the free charge carriers of the conductor? Explain.
Answer:
(i) Consider a straight conductor moving with velocity v and U shaped conductor placed in perpendicular magnetic field as shown in the figure.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 3
Let conductor shifts from ab to a’ b’ in time dt, then change in magnetic flux
dΦ = B × change in area
= B × (areaa’b’ab)
= B × (l × vdt)
∴  \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) Bvl
∴  Induced emf lei \(|\varepsilon|=\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) = Bvl

(ii) During motion, free e are shifted at one end due to magnetic force so due to polarisation of rod electric field is produced which applies electric force on free e on opposite direction.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 4
At equilibrium of Lorentz force,
Fe + Fm = 0
qE + q(v × B) = 0
E = -v × B = B × v
\(|E|=|B v \sin 90|\)
\(\frac{d v}{d r}\) = Bv
PD = Bvl

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 4.
(a) How does the mutual inductance of a pair of coils change when
(i) distance between the coils is increased and
(ii) number of turns in the coils is increased?

(b) A plot of magnetic flux (Φ) versus current (I), is shown in the figure for two inductors A and B. Which of the two has large value of self-inductance?

(c) How is the mutual inductance of a pair of coils affected when
(i) separation between the coils is increased?
(ii) the number of turns in each coil is increased?
(iii) a thin iron sheet is placed between the two coils, other factors remaining the same?
Justify your answer in each case.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 5
Answer:
(a)
(i) Mutual inductance decreases.
(ii) Mutual inductance increases.
Concept
(i) If distance between two coils is increased as shown in figure.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 6
It causes decrease in magnetic flux linked with the coil C2. Hence induced emf in coil C2 decreases by relation ε2 = \(\frac{-d \phi_{2}}{d t}\). Hence mutual inductance decreases.
(ii) From relation M21 = μ0N1N2 Al, if number of turns in one of the coils or both increases, means mutual inductance will increase.

(b) Φ = LI ⇒ \(\frac{\phi}{I}\) = L
The slope of \(\frac{\phi}{I}\) of straight line is equal to self-inductance L. It is larger for inductor A; therefore inductor A has larger value of self inductanc ‘ L’.

(c)
(i) When the relative distance between the coil is increased, the leakage
of flux increases which reduces the magnetic coupling of the coils. So magnetic flux linked with all the turns decreases. Therefore, mutual inductance will be decreased.

(ii) Mutual inductance for a pair of coil is given by
M = K\(\sqrt{L_{1} L_{2}}\)
where, L = \(\frac{\mu N^{2} A}{l}\) and L is called self inductance. Therefore, when the number of turns in each coil increases, the mutual inductance also increases.

(iii) When a thin iron sheet is placed between the two coils, the mutual inductance increases because M ∝ permeability. The permeability of the medium between coils increases.

Question 5.
Consider a metallic pipe with an inner radius of 1 cm. If a cylindrical bar magnet of radius 0.8 cm is dropped through the pipe, It takes more time to come down than It takes for a similar
unmagnetised cylindrical iron bar dropped through the metallic pipe. Explain. (NCERT Exemplar)
Answer:
For the magnet, eddy currents are produced in the metallic pipe. These currents will oppose the motion of the magnet. Therefore magnet’s downward acceleration will be less than the acceleration due to gravity g. On the other hand, an unmagnetised iron bar will not produce eddy
currents and will fall an acceleration g. Thus the magnet will take more time.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 6.
A magnetic field B = B0 sin(ωt) k̂ covers a large region where a wire AB slides smoothly over two parallel conductors separated by a distance d (figure). The wires are in the x-y plane. The wire AB (of length d) has resistance R and the parallel wires have negligible resistance. If AB is moving with velocity y, what is the current in the circuit. What is the force needed to keep the wire moving at constant velocity? (NCERT Exemplar)
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 7
Answer:
Let us assume that the parallel wires are at y = 0 i. e., along x-axis and y = d. At t = 0, AB has x = 0, i. e., along y-axis and moves with a velocity v. Let at time t, wire is at x (t) = vt.
Now, the motional emf across AB is
= (B0sinωt) vd(-ĵ)
emf due to change in field (along OBAC)
= -B0ωcosωt (t)d
Total emf in the circuit = emf due to change in field (along OBAC) + the motional emf across AB = -B0d[ωxcos(ωt) + vsin (ωt)]
Electric current in clockwise direction is given by,
= \(\frac{B_{0} d}{R}\) = (ωxcosωt + vsinωt)
The force acting on the conductor is given by F = ilB sin 90° = ilB
Substituting the values, we have
Force needed along i = \(\frac{B_{0} d}{R}\) (ωx cos ωt + vsinωt) × d × B sinωt
= \(\frac{B_{0}^{2} d^{2}}{R}\)(ωx cos ωt + vsinωt) sinωt
This is the required expression for force.

Long answer type questions

Question 1.
(i) How is magnetic flux linked with the armature coil changed in a generator ?
(ii) Derive the expression for maximum value of the induced emf and state the rule that gives the direction of the induced emf.
(iii) Show the variation of the emf generated versus time as the armature is rotated with respect to the direction of the magnetic fields.
Answer:
(i) The direction of flow of current in resistance R get changed alternatively after every half cycle.
Thus, AC is produced in coil.

(ii) Let at any instant total magnetic flux linked with the armature coil is G. and θ = ωt is the angle made by area vector of coil with magnetic field.
Φ = NBA cosθ = NBA cosωt
\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) = -NBAω sin ωt
– \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) = NBAω sin ωt
By Faraday’s law of emf, e = \(\frac{-d \phi}{d t}\)
Induced emf in coil is given by,
e = NBAω sinωt
e = e0 sinωt
where, e0 = NBAω = peak value of induced emf

(iii) The mechanical energy spent in rotating the coil in magnetic field appears in the form of electrical energy.

Question 2.
State the working of AC generator with the help of a labelled diagram.
The coil of an AC generator having N turns, each of area A, is rotated with a constant angular velocity to. Deduce the expression for the alternating emf generated in the coil.
What is the source of energy generation in this device?
Answer:
AC Generator: A dynamo or generator is a device which converts mechanical energy into electrical energy.

Principle: It works on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a coil rotates continuously in a magnetic field, the effective area of the coil linked normally with the magnetic field lines, changes continuously with time. This variation of magnetic flux with time results in the production of an alternating emf in the coil.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 9
Construction: It consists of the four main parts
(i) Field magnet: It produces the magnetic field. In the case of a low power dynamo, the magnetic field is generated by a permanent magnet, while in the case of large power dynamo, the magnetic field is produced by an electromagnet.

(ii) Armature: It consists of a large number of turns of insulated wire in the soft iron drum or ring. It can revolve an axle between the two poles of the field magnet. The drum or ring serves the two purposes: (a) It serves as a support to coils and (b) It increases the magnetic field due to air core being replaced by an iron core.

(iii) Slip rings: The slip rings R1 and R2 are the two metal rings to which the ends of armature coil are connected. These rings are fixed to the shaft which rotates the armature coil so that the rings also rotate along with the armature.

(iv) Brushes: There are two flexible metal plates or carbon rods (B1 and B2) which are fixed and constantly touch the revolving rings. The output current in external load RL is taken through these brushes.

Working: When the armature coil is rotated in the strong magnetic field, the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes and the current is induced in the coil, its direction being given by Fleming’s right hand rule. Considering the armature to be in vertical position and as it rotates in anticlockwise direction, the wire ab moves upward and cd downward, so that the direction of induced current is shown in fig. In the external circuit, the current flows along B1RlB2. The direction of current remains unchanged during the first half turn of armature. During the second half revolution, the wire ab moves downward and cd upward, so the direction of current is reversed and in external circuit it flows along B2RLB1 Thus the direction of induced emf and current changes in the external circuit after each half revolution.

Expression for Induced emf: If N is number of turns in coil, f the frequency of rotation, A area of coil and B the magnetic induction, then induced emf
e = – \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) = –\(\frac{d}{d t}\) {NBA (cos 2π ft)} dt dt
= 2π NBA f sin 2π ft
Obviously, the emf produced is alternating and hence the current is also alternating.
Current produced by an AC generator cannot be measured by moving coil ammeter; because the average value of AC over full cycle is zero.
The source of energy generation is the mechanical energy of rotation of armature coil.

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 8 The d-and f-Block Elements

Very Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Why first ionisation enthalpy of Cr is lower than that of Zn?
Answer:
Ionisation enthalpy of Cr is less than that of Zn configuration. In case of zinc, electron comes out from completely filled 4s-orbital. So, removal of electron from zinc requires more energy as compared to the chromium.

Question 2.
Zn, Cd and Hg are soft metals. Why?
Answer:
Because they have one or more typical metallic structures at normal temperatures.

Question 3.
Although fluorine is more electronegative than oxygen, but the ability of oxygen to stabilise higher oxidation states exceeds that of fluorine. Why?
Answer:
Oxygen can form multiple bonds with metals, while fluorine can’t form multiple bond with metals. Hence, oxygen has more ability to stabilise higher oxidation state rather than fluorine.

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 8 The d-and f-Block Elements

Question 4.
Mn shows the highest oxidation state of + 7 with oxygen but with fluorine it shows the highest oxidation state of +4. Why?
Answer:
This is due to ability of oxygen to form pπ – dπ bond.

Question 5.
Mn2O7 is acidic whereas MnO is basic.
Answer:
Mn has +7 oxidation state in Mn2O7 and +2 in MnO. In low oxidation state of the metal, some of the valence electrons of the metal atom are not involved in bonding. Hence, it can donate electrons and behave as a base. On the other hand, in higher oxidation state of the metal, valence electrons are involved on bonding and are not available. Instead effective nuclear charge is high and hence it can accept electrons and behave as an acid.

Question 6.
Copper atom has completely filled d-orbitals in its ground state but it is a transition element. Why?
Answer:
Copper exhibits +2 oxidation state wherein it has incompletely filled d orbitals (3d9 4s0) hence a transition elements.

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 8 The d-and f-Block Elements

Question 7.
Why is zinc not regarded as a transition element?
Answer:
As zinc atom has completely filled d-orbitals (3d10) in its ground state as well as oxidised state, therefore, it is not regarded as transition element.

Question 8.
Zn2+ salts are white while Cu2+ salts are coloured. Why?
Answer:
Cu2+(3d94s0) has one unpaired electron in d-subshell which absorbs radiation in visible region resulting in d-d transition and hence Cu2+ salts are coloured. Zn2+(3d104s0) has completely filled d-orbitals. No radiation is absorbed for d-d transition and hence Zn2+ salts are colourless.

Question 9.
The second and third row of transition elements resemble each other much more than they resemble the first row. Explain, why?
Answer:
Due to lanthanoid contraction, the atomic radii of the second and third row transition elements is almost same. So, they resemble each other much more as compared to first row elements and show similar character.

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 8 The d-and f-Block Elements

Question 10.
Why does copper not replace hydrogen from acids?
Answer:
Because Cu shows E positive value.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Why do transition elements show variable oxidation states? How is the variability in oxidation states of d-block different from that of the p-block elements?
Answer:
In transition elements, the energies of (n – 1)d orbitals and ns orbitals are nearly same. Therefore, electrons from both can participate in bond formation and hence show variable oxidation states.

In transition elements, the oxidation states differ from each other by unity e.g., Fe2+ and Fe3+, Cu+ and Cu2+ etc., while in p-block elements the oxidation state differ by units of two, e.g., Sn2+ and Sn4+, Pb2+ and Pb4+ etc. In transition elements, the higher oxidation states are more stable for heavier elements in a group e.g., Mo(VI) and W(VI) are more stable than Cr(VI) in group 6 whereas in p-block, elements the lower oxidation states are more stable for heavier elements due to the inert pair effect, e.g., Pb(II) is more stable than Pb(IV) in group 16.

Explain:
(i) E0 value for copper is positive.
(ii) E0 value of Mn is more negative as expected from the trend.
(iii) Cr2+ is a stronger reducing agent than Fe2+.
Answer:
(i) E0 value for copper is positive because the high energy to transform Cu(s) to Cu2+(aq) is not balanced by its hydration enthalpy.
(ii) E0 value of Mn is more negative as expected from the trend because Mn2+ has d5 configuration i. e., stable half-filled configuration.
(iii) Cr2+ is a stronger reducing agent than Fe2+ because d4 to d3 occurs in case of Cr2+ to Cr3+ (more stable \(t_{2 g}^{3}\)) while it changes from d6 to d5 in case of Fe2+ to Fe3+.

Punjab State Board PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current Important Questions and Answers.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current

Very short answer type questions

Question 1.
Why is the use of AC voltage preferred over DC voltage? Give two reasons.
Answer:
The use of AC voltage is preferred over DC voltage because of

  • the loss of energy in transmitting the AC voltage over long distance with the help of step-up transformers is negligible as compared to DC voltage.
  • AC voltage can be stepped up and stepped down as per the requirement by using a transformer.

Question 2.
Explain why current flows through an ideal capacitor when it is connected to an AC source, but not when it is connected to a DC source in a steady state.
Answer:
For AC source, circuit is complete due to the presence of displacement current in the capacitor. For steady DC, there is no displacement current, therefore, circuit is not complete.
Mathematically, capacitive reactance
XC = \(\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}=\frac{1}{\omega C}\)
So, capacitor allows easy path for AC source.
For DC, / = 0, so XC = infinity.
So, capacitor blocks DC.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current

Question 3.
Define capacitor reactance. Write its SI units.
Answer:
Capacitor reactance is the resistance offered by a capacitor, when it is connected to an electric circuit. It is given by XC = \(\frac{1}{\omega C}\)
where, ω = angular frequency of the source
C = capacitance of the capacitor
The SI unit of capacitor reactance is ohm (Ω).

Question 4.
In a series LCR circuit, VL = VC ≠ VR What is the value of power factor for this circuit?
Answer:
Power factor = 1
Since VL = VC, the inductor and capacitor will nullify the effect of each other and it will be a resistive circuit.
For Φ =0; power factor cosΦ = 1

Question 5.
The power factor of an AC circuit is 0.5. What is the phase difference between voltage and current in this circuit?
Answer:
Power factor between voltage and current is given by cosΦ, where Φ is phase difference
cosΦ = 0.5 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) ⇒ Φ = cos-1 (\(\frac{1}{2}\)) = \(\frac{\pi}{3}\)

Question 6.
What is wattless current?

Question 8.
Define ‘quality factor’ of resonance in series LCR circuit. What is its SI unit?
Answer:
The quality factor (Q) of series LCR circuit is defined as the ratio of the resonant frequency to frequency band width of the resonant curve.
Q = \(\frac{\omega_{r}}{\omega_{2}-\omega_{1}}=\frac{\omega_{r} L}{R}\)

Clearly, smaller the value of R, larger is the quality factor and sharper the resonance. Thus, quality factor determines the nature of sharpness of resonance. It has no units.

(b) What is the average power consumption over a cycle?
(c) Identify the device ‘X’. (NCERT Exemplar)
Answer:
(a) A
(b) Zero
(c) L or C or LC

Short answer type questions

Question 1.
Prove that an ideal capacitor in an AC circuit does not dissipate power.
Answer:
Since, average power consumption in an AC circuit is given by
Pav = Vrms × Irms × cosΦ
But in pure capacitive circuit, phase difference between voltage and current is given by
Φ = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
∴ Pav = Vrms × Irms × cos \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
⇒ Pav = 0 ( ∵ cos \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = 0)
Thus, no power is consumed in pure capacitive AC circuit.

Question 3.
A series L-C-R circuit is connected to an AC source. Using the phasor diagram, derive the expression for the impedance of the circuit. Plot a graph to show the variation of current with frequency of the source, explaining the nature of its variation.
Answer:
Assuming XL > XC
⇒ VL > VC
∵ Net voltage, V = \(\sqrt{V_{R}^{2}+\left(V_{L}-V_{C}\right)^{2}}\)
where, VL, VC and are alternating voltages across L,C and R respectively.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 4
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 5
But, VR= IR,VL = IXL,
VC = IXC
∴ Net voltage, V = \(\sqrt{(I R)^{2}+\left(I X_{L}-I X_{C}\right)^{2}}\)
\(\frac{V}{I}\) = \(\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(X_{L}-X_{C}\right)^{2}}\)
Impedance of LCR circuit,
Z = \(\frac{V}{I}\) = \(\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(X_{L}-X_{C}\right)^{2}}\)

Question 4.
In a series LCR circuit connected to an AC source of variable frequency and voltage V = Vm sin ωt, draw a graph showing the variation of current (I) with angular frequency (ω) for two different values of resistance R1 and R2 (R1 > R2 ). Write the condition under which the phenomenon of resonance occurs. For which value of the resistance out of the two curves, a sharper resonance is produced? Define Q-factor of the circuit and give its significance.
Answer:
Figure shows the variation of im with ω in a LCR series circuit for two values of resistance R1 and R2 (R1 > R2).
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 6
The condition for resonance in the LCR circuit is
ω0 = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\)
We see that the current amplitude is maximum at the resonant frequencyω. Since im = vm / R at resonance, the current amplitude for case R2 is sharper to that for case R1.

Quality factor or simply the Q-factor of a resonant LCR circuit is defined as the ratio of voltage drop across the capacitor (or inductor) to that of applied voltage.
It is given by Q = \(\frac{1}{R} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}\)
The Q-factor determines the sharpness of the resonance curve. Less sharp the resonance, less is the selectivity of the circuit while higher is the Q, sharper is the resonance curve and lesser will be the loss in energy of the circuit.

Question 5.
Both alternating current and direct current y, are measured in amperes. But how is the ampere defined for an alternating current? (NCERT Exemplar)
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 7
Answer:
An ac current changes direction with the source frequency and the attractive force would average to zero. Thus, the ac ampere must be defined in terms vc of some property that is independent of the direction of current. Joule’s heating effect is such property and hence it is used to define rms value of ac.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current

Question 6.
Explain why the reactance provided by a capacitor to an alternating current decreases with increasing frequency. (NCERT Exemplar)
Answer:
A capacitor does not allow flow of direct current through it as the resistance across the gap is infinite. When an alternating voltage is applied across the capacitor plates, the plates are alternately charged and discharged. The current through the capacitor is a result of this changing voltage (or charge). Thus, a capacitor will pass more current through it if the voltage is changing at a faster rate, i. e., if the frequency of supply is higher. This implies that the reactance offered by a capacitor is less with increasing frequency, it is given byl/©C.

Question 7.
Explain why the reactance offered by an inductor increases with increasing frequency of an alternating voltage.
(NCERT Exemplar)
Answer:
An inductor opposes flow of current through it by developing an induced emf according to Lenz’s law. The induced voltage has a polarity so as to maintain the current at its present value. If the current is decreasing, the polarity of the induced emf will be so as to increase the current and vice versa. Since the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of current, it will provide greater reactance to the flow of current if the rate of change is faster, i.e., if the frequency is higher. The reactance of an inductor, therefore, is proportional to the frequency, being given by ωL.

(b) In a series LR circuit XL = R and power factor of the circuit is P1. When capacitor with capacitance C such that XL = XC is put in series, the power factor becomes P2. Calculate \(\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}\).
Answer:
(a) Expression for Impedance in LCR Series Circuit : Suppose resistance R, inductance L and capacitance C are connected in series and an alternating source of voltage V = V0 sin ωt is applied across it. (fig. a) On account of being in series, the current (i) flowing through all of them is the same.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 8
Suppose, the voltage across resistance R isVR, voltage across inductance L is VL and voltage across capacitance C is VC. The voltage VR and current i are in the same phase, the voltage VL will lead the current by angle 90° while the voltage VC will lag behind the current by angle 90° (fig. b). Clearly,VC and VL are in opposite directions, therefore their resultant potential difference = VC – VL (if VC >,VL).

Thus, VR and (VC – VL) are mutually perpendicular and the phase difference between them is 90°. As applied voltage across the circuit is V, the resultant of VR and (VC – VL) will also be V. From fig.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 11
Answer:
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 12
The sharpness of resonance in series LCR circuit refers how quick fall of alternating current in circuit takes place when frequency of alternating voltage shifts away from resonant frequency. It is measured by quality factor (Q-factor) of circuit.

The Q-factor of series resonant circuit is defined as the ratio of the voltage developed across the capacitance or inductance at resonance to the impressed voltage which is the voltage applied.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 13
This is the required expression.

(ii) Let initially Ir current is flowing in all the three circuits. If frequency of applied AC source is increased, then the change in current will occur in the following manner.

I = \(\frac{V_{r m s}}{X_{L}}=\frac{V_{r m s}}{2 \pi f L}\)
For given circuit,

I = 2πfCVrms

Find the ratio of primary and secondary currents in terms of turn ratio in an ideal transformer.
How much current is drawn by the primary of a transformer connected to 220 V supply when it delivers power to a 110 V-550 W refrigerator?
Answer:
(a) Transformer: Transformer is a device by which an alternating voltage may be decreased or increased. It is based on the principle of mutual-induction.

Construction: It consists of laminated core of soft iron, on which two coils of insulated copper wire are separately wound. These coils are kept insulated from each other and from the iron-core, but are coupled through mutual induction. The number of turns in these coils are different. Out of these coils one coil is called primary coil and other is called the secondary coil. The terminals of primary coils are connected to AC mains and the terminals of the secondary coil are connected to external circuit in which alternating current of desired voltage is required. Transformers are of two types:
1. Step-up transformer: It transforms the alternating low voltage to alternating high voltage and in this the number of turns in secondary coil is more than that in primary coil. (i. e.,Ns> Np).
2. Step-down transformer: It transforms the alternating high voltage to alternating low voltage and in this the number of turns in secondary coil is less than that in primary coil (i. e.Ns < Np)
PSEB 12th Class Physics Important Questions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 17
Working: When alternating current source is connected to the ends of primary coil, the current changes continuously in the primary coil; due to which the magnetic flux linked with the secondary coil changes continuously, therefore the alternating emf of same frequency is developed across the secondary.

Let Np be the number of turns in primary coil, Ns the number of turns in secondary coil and Φ the magnetic flux linked with each turn. We assume that there is no leakage of flux so that the flux linked with each turn of primary coil and secondary coil is the same. According to Faraday’s laws the emf induced in the primary coil
ε 0 = -Np\(\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}\) …………….. (1)
and emf induced in the secondary coil
ε s = -Np\(\frac{\Delta \phi}{\Delta t}\) ……………… (2)
From eq. (1) and eq, (2)
\(\frac{\varepsilon_{s}}{\varepsilon_{p}}=\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}\) …………………. (3)
If the resistance of primary coil is negligible, the emf (ε p) induced in the primary coil, will be equal to the applied potential difference (Vp) across its ends. Similarly if the secondary circuit is open, then the potential difference Vs across its ends will be equal to the emf (ε s) induced in it; therefore,
\(\frac{V_{s}}{V_{p}}=\frac{\varepsilon_{s}}{\varepsilon_{p}}=\frac{N_{s}}{N_{p}}\) r(say) …………… (4)
where r = \(\frac{N_{S}}{N_{P}}\) is called the transformation ratio. If ip and is are the instantaneous currents in primary and secondary coils and there is no loss of energy.
For about 100% efficiency,
Power in primary = Power in secondary
Vp ip = Vsis
∴ \(\frac{i_{s}}{i_{p}}=\frac{V_{p}^{F}}{V_{s}}=\frac{N_{p}}{N_{s}}=\frac{1}{r}\) ………….. (5)

In step-up transformer, Ns > Np → r > 1 ;
So Vs > Vp and is < ip
i.e., Step up transformer increases the voltage.

In step down transformer, Ns < Np → r < 1
So Vs < Vp and is > ip
i.e., step-up down transformer decreases the voltage, but increase the current.

Laminated Core: The core of a transformer is laminated to reduce the energy losses due to eddy currents. So, that its efficiency may remain nearly 100%.
In a transformer with 100% efficiency (say), Input power = output power dVpIp = VsIs
(b) The sources of energy loss in a transformer are, (i) eddy current losses due to iron core, (ii) flux leakage losses, (iii) copper losses due to heating up of copper wires, (iv) Hysteresis losses due to magnetisation and demagnetisation of core.

(c) When output voltage increases, the output current automatically decreases to keep the power same. Thus, there is no violation of conservation of energy in a step-up transformer.
We have, ip Vp = isVs = 550 W
Vp 220V
ip = \(\frac{550}{220}=\frac{5}{2}\) = 2.5A

Question 1.
Predict the direction of induced current in the situations described by the following Figs. 6.18 (a) to (f).
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 1
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 2
Answer:
(a) As the magnet moves towards the solenoid, the magnetic flux linked with the solenoid increases. According to Lenz’s law, the induced e.m.f. produced in the solenoid in such that it opposes the very cause producing it i. e., it opposes the motion of the magnet. Hence the face q of it becomes the south pole and p becomes north pole. Therefore, the current will flow along pqin the coili. e., along qrpqin this figurei. e., clockwise when seen from the side of the magnet according to clock rule.

(b) As the north pole moves away from xy coil, so the magnetic flux linked with this coil decreases. Thus according to Lenz’s law, the induced e.m.f. produced in the coil will oppose the motion of the magnet. Hence the face, X becomes S-pole, so the current will flow in the clockwise direction i.e., along yzx in the cone.

For coil pq, the south pole of the magnet moves towards end q and thus this end will acquire south polarity so as to oppose the motion of the magnet, hence the current will flow along prq in the coil.

(c) The induced current will be in the anticlockwise direction i.e., along yzx.

(d) The induced current will be in the clockwise direction i.e., along zyx.

(e) The battery current in the left coil will be from right to left, so by mutual induction, the induced current in the right coil will be in the opposite direction i.e., from left to right or along xry.

(f) In this case, there is no change in magnetic flux linked with the wire, so no current will flow through the wire since there is no induced current as the field lines lie in the plane of the loop.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 2.
Use Lenz’s law to determine the direction of induced current in the situations described by Fig. 6.19.
(a) A wire of irregular shape turning into a circular shape;
(b) A circular loop being deformed into a narrow straight wire.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 3
(a) When a wire of irregular shape turns into a circular loop, the magnetic flux linked with the loop increases due to increase in area. The circular loop has greater area than the loop of irregular shape. The induced e.m.f. will cause current to flow in such a direction so that the wire forming the loop is pulled inward from all sides i.e., current must flow in the direction adcba as shown in Fig. (a) i.e., in anticlock-wise direction so that the magnetic field produced by the current ((directed out of the paper) opposes the applied field.

In Fig. (b), a circular loop deforms into a narrow straight wire i.e., upper side of loop should move downwards and lower end should move upwards to oppose the motion of the circular loop, thus its area decreases as a result of which the magnetic flux linked with it decreases. To oppose the decrease in magnetic flux, the induced current should flow anti clockwise in the loop i. e., along a’d’ d b’ a’. Due to the flow of anti-clockwise current, the magnetic field produced will be out of the page and hence the applied field is supplemented.

Question 3.
A long solenoid with 15 turns per cm has a small loop of area 2.0 cm2 placed inside the solenoid normal to its axis. If the current carried hy the solenoid changes steadily from 2.0 A to
4.0 A in 0.1 s, what is the induced emf in the loop while the current is changing?
Answer:
Number of turns per unit length of the solenoid, n = 15 turns/cm = 1500 turns/m
The solenoid has a small loop of area, A = 2.0 cm2 = 2 × 10-4 m2
Current carried by the solenoid changes from 2 A to 4 A.
.-. Change in current in the solenoid, dI = 4 – 2 = 2A
Change in time, dt = 0.1 s
We know that the magnetic field produced inside the solenoid is given by
B = μ0nI
If Φ be the magnetic flux linked with the loop, then
Φ = BA = μ0nI A
Induced emf in the solenoid is given by Faraday’s law as
e = –\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\)
e = – \(\frac{d}{d t}\) (Φ) = –\(\frac{d}{d t}\) μ0nI A
μ0n A \(\frac{d I}{d t}\)
∴ Magnitude of e is given by
= A μ0n × (\(\frac{d I}{d t}\))
= 2 × 10-4 × 4π × 10-7 × 500 × \(\frac{2}{0.1}\)
7.54 × 10 -6 V
Hence, the induced voltage in the loop is = 7.54 × 10 -6 V

PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 4.
A rectangular wire loop of sides 8 cm and 2 cm with a small cut is moving out of a region of uniform magnetic field of magnitude 0.3 T directed normal to the loop. What is the emf developed across the cut if the velocity of the loop is 1 cm s-1 in a direction normal to the (a) longer side, (b) shorter side of the loop? For how long does the induced voltage last in each case?
Answer:
Length of the rectangular wire, l = 8 cm = 0.08 m
Width of the rectangular wire, b = 2 cm = 0.02 m
Hence, area of the rectangular loop A = lb
= 0.08 × 0.02
= 16 × 10-4 m2
Magnetic field strength, B = 0.3 T
Velocity of the loop, v = 1 cm/s = 0.01 m / s

(a) Emf developed in the loop is given as
e = Blv
= 0.3 × 0.08 × 0.01 = 2.4 × 10-4 V
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 4
= \(\frac{b}{v}\) = \(\frac{0.02}{0.01}\) = 2 s
Hence, the induced voltage is 2.4 × 10-4 V which lasts for 2s.

(b) Emf developed,
e = Bbv = 0.3 × 0.02 × 0.01 = 0.6 × 10-4 V
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 5
\(\frac{l}{v}\) = \(\frac{0.08}{0.01}\) 8s
Hence, the induced voltage is 0.6 × 10-4 V which lasts for 8 s.

Question 5.
A 1.0 m long metallic rod is rotated with an angular frequency of 400 rad s-1 about an axis normal to the rod passing through its one end. The other end of the rod is in contact with a circular metallic ring. A constant and uniform magnetic field of 0.5 T parallel to the axis exists everywhere. Calculate the emf developed between the centre and the ring.
Answer:
Length of the rod, l = 1m
Angular frequency, ω = 400 rad/s
Magnetic field strength, B = 0.5 T
One end of the rod has zero linear velocity, while the other end has a linear velocity of l ω.
Average linear velocity of the rod, v = \(\frac{l \omega+0}{2}=\frac{l \omega}{2}\)
Emf developed between the centre and the ring,
e = Blv = Bl(\(\frac{l \omega}{2}\)) = \(\frac{B l^{2} \omega}{2}\)
= \(\frac{0.5 \times(1)^{2} \times 400}{2}\) = 100V
Hence, the emf developed between the centre and the ring is 100 V.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 6.
A circular coil of radius 8.0 cm and 20 turns is rotated about its vertical diameter with an angular speed of 50 rad s-1 in a uniform horizontal magnetic field of magnitude 3.0 × 10-2 T. Obtain the maximum and average emf induced in the coil. If the coil forms a closed loop of resistance 10 Ω, calculate the maximum value of current in the coil. Calculate the average power loss due to Joule heating. Where does this power come from?
Answer:
Here, n = number of turns in the coil = 20
r = radius ofcoil = 8.0 cm = 8 × 10-2 m
ω = angular speed of the coil = 50 rad s-1.
B = magnetic field = 3.0 × 10-2 T
Let e0 be the maximum e.m.f. in the coil = ?
and eav be the average e.m.f. in the coil = ?
We know that the instantaneous e.m.f. produced in a coil is given by
e = BA ω sinωt.
for e to be maximum emax, sin ωt = 1.
∴ emax = B A n ω = B.πr2
where A = πr2 is the area of the coil
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 6
i.e., eav is zero as the average value of sincot for one complete cycle is always zero.
Now R = resistance of the closed loop formed by the coil = 10 Ω
Let Imax = maximum current in the coil = ?
∴ Using the relation,
Imax = \(\frac{e_{\max }}{R}\), we get
Imax = \(\frac{0.603}{10}\) = 0.0603 A
Let Pav be the average power loss due to Joule heating = ?
∴ Pav = \(\frac{e_{\max } \cdot I_{\max }}{2}\) = \(\frac{0.603 \times 0.0603}{2}\)
= 0.018 Watt
The induced current causes a torque opposing the rotation of the coil. An external agent must supply torque and do work to counter this torque in order to keep the coil rotating uniformly. Thus the source of the power dissipated as heat in the coil is the external agent i. e., rotor.

Question 7.
A horizontal straight wire 10 m long extending from east to west is falling with a speed of 5.0 m s-1, at right angles to the horizontal component of the earth’s magnetic field, 0.30 × 10-4 Wb m-2.
(a) What is the instantaneous value of the emf induced in the wire?
(b) What is the direction of the emf?
(c) Which end of the wire is at the higher electrical potential?
Answer:
Length of the wire, l = 10 m
Falling speed of the wire, v = 5.0 m/s
Magnetic field strength, B = 0.3 × 10-4 Wb m-2

(a) emf induced in the wire,
e = Blv = 0.3 × 10-4 × 5 × 10
= 1.5 × 10-3 V

(b) Using Fleming’s right hand rule, it can be inferred that the direction of the induced emf is from west to east.

(c) The eastern end of the wire is at a higher electrical potential.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction

Question 8.
Current in a circuit falls from 5.0 A to 0.0 A in 0.1 s. If an average emf of 200 V induced, give an estimate of the self-inductance of the circuit.
Initial current, I1 = 5.0 A
Final current, I2 = 0.0 A
Change in current, dl = I1 – I2 = 5 – 0 = 5 A
Time taken for the change, dt = 0.1 s
Average emf, e = 200 V
For self-inductance (I) of the circuit, we have the relation for average emf as
e = L\(\frac{d I}{d t}\)
L = \(\frac{e}{\left(\frac{d I}{d t}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{200}{\frac{5}{0.1}}=\frac{200 \times 0.1}{5}\) 4H
Hence, the self induction of the circuit is 4 H.

Question 9.
A pair of adjacent coils has a mutual inductance of 1.5 H. If the current in one coil changes from 0 to 20 A in 0.5 s, what is the change of flux linkage with the other coil?
Answer:
Mutual inductance of the pair of coils, μ = 1.5 H
Initial current, I1 = 0 A
Final current, I2 – 20 A
Change in current, dI = I2 – I1 = 20 – 0 = 20 A
Time taken for the change, dt = 0.5 s
Induced emf, e = \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) ………… (1)

Where d Φ is the change in the flux linkage with the coil.
Emf is related with mutual inductance as
e = μ\(\frac{d I}{d t}\) ……………. (2)
Equating equations (1) and (2), we get
\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) = μ\(\frac{d I}{d t}\)
or dΦ = μdI
∴ dΦ = 1.5 × (20) = 30 Wb
Hence, the change in the flux linkage is 30 Wb.

Speed of the jet plane, v = 1800 km/h = 1800 × \(\frac{5}{18}\) = 500 m/s
Wing span of the jet plane, l = 25 m
Earth’s magnetic field strength, B = 5.0 × 10-4 T
Angle of dip, δ = 30°
Vertical component of Earth’s magnetic field,
BV = B sinδ
= 5 × 10-4 × sin30°
= 5 × 10-4 × \(\frac{1}{2}\) = 2.5 × 10-4 T
Voltage difference between the ends of the wing can be calculated as
e = (BV) × l × v
= 2.5 × 10-4 × 25 × 500 = 3.125 V
Hence, the voltage difference developed between the ends of the wings is 3.125 V.

Question 11.
Suppose the loop in Exercise 6.4 is stationary but the current feeding the electromagnet that produces the magnetic field is gradually reduced so that.the field decreases from its initial value of 0.3 T at the rate of 0.02 Ts-1. If the cut is joined and the loop has a resistance of 1.6 Ω, how much power is dissipated by the loop as heat? What is the source of this power?
Answer:
Sides of the rectangular wire loop are 8 cm and 2 cm.
Hence, area of the rectangular wire loop,
A = length × width = 8 × 2 = 16 cm
= 16 × 10-4 m2
Initial value of the magnetic field, B = 0.3 T
Rate of decrease of the magnetic field, \(\frac{d B}{d t}\) = 0.02 T/s
emf developed in the loop is given as
e = \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\)
where, Φ = Change in flux through the loop area
= AB
∴ e = \(\frac{d(A B)}{d t}=\frac{A d B}{d t}\)
= 16 × 10-4 × 0.02 =0.32 × 10-4 V
= 3.2 × 10-5 V
Resistance of the loop, R = 1.6 Ω
The current induced in the loop is given as
i = \(\frac{e}{R}\)
= \(\frac{0.32 \times 10^{-4}}{1.6}\) = 2 × 10-5A
Power dissipated in the loop in the form of heat is given as
P = i2R
= (2 × 10-5)2 × 1.6
= 6.4 × 10-10 W
The source of this heat loss is an external agent, which is responsible for changing the magnetic field with time.

Question 12.
A square loop of side 12 cm with its sides parallel to X and F axes is moved with a velocity of 8 cm s-1 in the positive x-direction in an environment containing a magnetic field in the positive 2-direction. The field is neither uniform in space nor constant in time. It has a gradient of 10-3 T cm-1 along the negative jtr-direction (that is it increases by 10-3 T cm-1 as one moves in the negative x-direction), and it is decreasing in time at the rate of 10-3 T s1. Determine the direction and magnitude of the induced current in the loop if its resistance is 4.50 mΩ.
Answer:
Here, a = side of the square loop = 12 cm = 12 × 10-2 m
\(\vec{v}\) = velocity of loop parallel to x-axis = 8 cms-1
= 8 × 10-2 ms-1.
Let B = variable magnetic field acting away from us ⊥ ar to the XY plane along z axis i. e., plane of paper represented by x.
\(\) = 10-3 Tcm-1
= 10-3 × 102 Tm-1
= 0.1 Tm-1
= field gradient along – ve x direction.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 7
\(\frac{d B}{d t}\) = rate of variation with me
= 10-3 Ts-1
R = resistance of the loop = 4.5 mΩ = 4.5 × 10-3 Ω
Let I = induced current = ? and its direction = ?
∴ A = area of loop = a2 = (12 × 10-2)2 m2 = 144 × 10-4 m2.
The magnetic flux changes (i) due, to the variation of B with time and
(ii) due to motion of the loop in non-uniform \(\vec{B}\).
Thus if Φ be the total magnetic flux of the loop, then Φ is calculated as Area of shaded part = adx
Let dΦ = magnetic flux linked with shaded part = B(x,t)adx
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 8
∴ From (3), \(\) = 144 × 10-7 + 1152 × 10-7
= 1296 × 10-7 Wbs-1
Clearly the two effect add up as these cause a decrease in flux along the + z direction.
∴ If e be the induced e.m.f. produced, then
e = –\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) = -1296 × 10-7 V
= -12.96 × 10-5 V
∴ e = 12.96 × 10-5 V
∴ I = \(\frac{e}{R}\) = \(\frac{12.96 \times 10^{-5}}{4.5 \times 10^{-3}}\) 2.88 × 10-2 A.
The direction of induced current is such as to increase the flux through the loop along +z-direction. Thus if for the observer, the loop moves to the right, the current will be seen to be anti-clockwise.

Question 13.
It is desired to measure the magnitude of field between the poles of a powerful loud speaker magnet. A small fiat search coil of area 2 cm2 with 25 closely wound turns, is positioned normal to the field direction, and then quickly snatched out of the field region. Equivalently, one can give it a quick 90° turn to bring its plane parallel to the field direction. The total charge flown in the coil (measured by a ballistic galvanometer connected to coil) is 7.5 mC. The combined resistance of the coil and the galvanometer is 0.50 Q. Estimate the field strength of magnet.
Answer:
Area of the small flat search coil, A = 2cm2 = 2 × 10-4m2
Number of turns on the coil, N = 25
Total charge flown in the coil, Q = 7.5 mC = 7.5 × 10 -3 C
Total resistance of the coil and galvanometer, R = 0.50 Ω
Induced current in the coil,
I = \(\frac{\text { Induced emf }(e)}{R}\) ………….. (1)
Induced emf is given us
e = -N\(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) ……………… (2)
Combining equations (1) and (2), we get
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 9
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 10
Hence, the field strength of the magnet is 0.75 T.

Question 14.
Figure 6.20 shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod, and the magnetic Held are in three mutual perpendicular directions. A galvanometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of the rod = 15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod = 9.0 mfl. Assume the field to be uniform.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 6 Electromagnetic Induction 11
(a) Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of 12 cm s-1 in me airection snown. dive me polarity ana magnitude of the induced emf.

(b) Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rods when K is open? What if K is closed?

(c) With K open and the rod moving uniformly, there is no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ even though they do experience magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain.

(d) What is the retarding force on the rod when K is closed?

(e) How much power is required (by an external agent) to keep the rod moving at the same speed (= 12 cm s-1) when K is closed? How much power is required when K is open?

(f) How much power is dissipated as heat in the closed circuit? What is the source of this power?

(g) What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular?
Answer:
Here, B = 0.50 T
l = length of the rod = 15 cm = 15 × 10-2 m
R = resistance of the closed loop containing the rod = 9.0 mΩ
= 9 × 10-3 Ω.

(a) v = speed of the rod = 12 cms-1 = 12 × 10-2 ms-1.
The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. is
E = Blv = 0.50 × 15 × 10-2 × 12 × 10-12 = 9 × 10-3 V
According to Fleming’s left hand rule, the direction of Lorentz force —^ ^ ^
\(\vec{F}\) = -e(\(\vec{V} \times \vec{B}\)) on electrons in PQ is from P to Q. So the end P of the rod will acquire positive charge and Q will acquire negative charge,

(b) Yes. When the switch K is open, the electrons collect at the end Q, so excess charge is built up at the end Q. But when the switch K is closed, the accumulated charge at the end Q is maintained by the continuous flow of current.

(c) This is because the presence of excess charge at the ends P and Q of the rod sets up an electric field \(\vec{E}\). The force due to the electric field (q\(\vec{E}\)) balances the Lorentz magnetic force q(\(\vec{V} \times \vec{B}\)). Hence the net force on the electrons is zero.

(d) When the key K is closed, current flows through the rod. The retarding force experienced by the rod is
F = BIl = B(\(\frac{E}{R}\)) l
where, I = \(\) is the induced current. R
F = \(\frac{0.50 \times 9 \times 10^{-3} \times 15 \times 10^{-2}}{9 \times 10^{-3}}\)
= 7.5 × 10-2 N.

(e) The power required by the external agent against the above retarding force to keep the rod moving uniformly at speed 12 cms-1 (= 12 × 10-2 m/s) when K is closed is given by
p = FV = 7. 5 × 10-2 × 12 × 10-2
= 90 × 10-4 W
= 9 × 10-3 W

(f) Power dissipated as heat is given by
P = I2R = (\(\frac{E}{R}\))2 R = \(\frac{E^{2}}{R}\)
= \(\frac{\left(9 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}}{9 \times 10^{-3}}\)
= 9 × 10-3 W.
The source of this power is the power provided by the external agent calculated in (e).

Zero. This is because when the magnetic field is parallel to the rails, θ = 0°, so induced e.m.f. E = Blv sinθ = Blv sin 0 = 0. In this situation, the moving rod does not cut the field lines, so there is no change in the magnetic flux, hence E = 0.

Question 15.
An air-cored solenoid with length 30 cm, area of cross-section 25 cm2 and number of turns 500, carries a current of 2.5 A. The current is suddenly switched off in a brief time of 10-3 s. How much is the average back emf induced across the ends of the open switch in the circuit? Ignore the variation in magnetic Held near the ends of the solenoid.
Answer:
Length of the solenoid, l = 30 cm = 0.3 m
Area of cross-section, A = 25 cm2 = 25 x 10-4 m2
Number of turns on the solenoid, N = 500
Current in the solenoid, I = 2.5 A

Average back emf, e = \(\frac{d \phi}{d t}\) ……………. (1)
where,
dΦ = NAB ………….. (2)
and B = μ0 \(\frac{N I}{l}\) …………. (3)
Using equations (2) and (3) in equation (1), we get
e = \(\frac{\mu_{0} N^{2} I A}{l t}\)
\(=\frac{4 \pi \times 10^{-7} \times(500)^{2} \times 2.5 \times 25 \times 10^{-4}}{0.3 \times 10^{-3}}\)
= 6.5 V
Hence, the average back emf induced in the solenoid is 6.5 V.

We know that the e.m.f. of a rod rotating in a uniform magnetic field is
given by \(\frac{1}{2}\) Bωa2 , since here the magnetic field is changing, we assume the average over the time span and thus average value of e.m.f. is given by

Question 1
What do you understand by the ‘order of a reaction’? Identify the reaction order from each of the following units of reaction rate constant:
(i) L-1mols-1
(ii) Lmol-1s-1.
Solution:
The sum of powers of the concentration of the reactants in the rate law expression is called order of reaction.
For a general reaction: aA + bB → Products
If rate = k[A]m [B]n; order of reaction = m + n

(i) General unit of rate constant, k = (mol L-1 )1-ns-1
L-1mol s-1 = (mol L-1 )1-ns-1
-1 = -1 + n ⇒ n = 0 ∴ Reaction order = 0

(ii) L mol-1 s-1 = (mol L-1)1-n s-1
1 = -1 + n ⇒ n = 2 ∴ Reaction order = 2

Question 2.
The rate constant for the first order decomposition of H2O2 is given by the following equation :
log k = 14.2 – \(\frac{1.0 \times 10^{4}}{T}\)K
Calculate Ea for this reaction and rate constant k if its half-life period be 200 minutes.
(Given: R = 8.314 JK-1 mol-1)

Comparing the equation, log k = 14.2 – \(\frac{1.0 \times 10^{4}}{T}\) K with the equation,
log k = log A = \(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R T}\), we get
\(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R}\) = 1.0 × 104 K or Ea = 1.0 × 104 K × 2.303 × R
Ea = 1.0 × 104 K × 2.303 × 8.314 JK-1
= 19.1471 × 104 Jmol-1
= 191.47 kJ mol-1
For a first order reaction, tt/2 = \(\frac{0.693}{k}\) or k = \(\frac{0.693}{t_{1 / 2}}\)

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics

Question 2.
Describe how does the enthalpy of reaction remain unchanged when a catalyst is used in the reaction?
Answer:
A catalyst is a substance which increases the speed of a reaction without itself undergoing any chemical change.
According to “intermediate complex formation theory” reactants first combine with the catalyst to form an intermediate complex which is short-lived and decomposes to form the products and regenerating the catalyst.

The intermediate formed has much lower potential energy than the intermediate complex formed between the reactants in the absence of the catalyst.

Thus, the presence of catalyst lowers the potential energy barrier and the reaction follows a new alternate pathway which require less activation energy.

We know that, lower the activation energy, faster is the reaction because more reactant molecules can cross the energy barrier and change into products.

Enthalpy, △H is a ‘state function. Enthalpy of reaction, i.e., difference in energy between reactants and product is constant, which is clear from potential energy diagram.
Potential energy diagram of catalysed reaction is given as:

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics

Question 3.
All energetically effective collisions do not result in a chemical change. Explain with the help of an example.
Answer:
Only effective collision lead to the formation of products. It means that collisions in which molecules collide with sufficient kinetic energy (called threshold energy = activation energy + energy possessed by reacting species).

And proper orientation lead to a chemical change because it facilitates the breaking of old bonds between (reactant) molecules and formation of the new ones i.e., in products.
e.g., formation of methanol from bromomethane depends upon the orientation of the reactant molecules.
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 5
The proper orientation of reactant molecules leads to bond formation whereas improper orientation makes them simply back and no products are formed.

To account for effective collisions, another factor P (probability of steric factor) is introduced K = PZABe-Ea/RT.

Answer:
In the inductive circuit,

Hence, P = 0 i. e., the net power is zero.

In the capacitive circuit,
rms value of current, I = 2.49 A
rms value of voltage, V = 110 V
Hence, the net power absorbed by the circuit, can be obtained as
P = VIcosΦ
For a pure capacitive circuit, the phase difference between alternating voltage and current is 90°i. e., Φ = 90 °
Hence, P = 0 i. e., the net power is zero.

Question 6.
Obtain the resonant frequency ωr of a series LCR circuit with L = 2.0 H, C = 32 μF and R = 10 Ω. What is the Q-value of this circuit?
Answer:
Resonant frequency,
ωr = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2.0 \times 32 \times 10^{-6}}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{8}\) × 103 = 125 rads-1
Q = \(\frac{\omega_{r} L}{R}\) = \(\frac{125 \times 2.0}{10}\) = 25

Question 7.
A charged 30 μF capacitor is connected to a 27 mH inductor.
What is the angular frequency of free oscillations of the circuit?
Answer:
Capacitance of the capacitor, C = 30 μF = 30 × 10-6 F,
Inductance of the inductor, L = 27 mH = 27 × 10-3H
Angular frequency is given as
ωr = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{27 \times 10^{-3} \times 30 \times 10^{-6}}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{9 \times 10^{-4}}=\frac{10^{4}}{9}\)
= 1.11 × 103 rad/s
Hence, the angular frequency of free oscillations of the circuit is 1.11 × 103 rad/s.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current

Question 8.
Suppose the initial charge on the capacitor in Exercise 7.7 is 6 mC. What is the total energy stored in the circuit initially? What is the total energy at later time?
Answer:
Capacitance of the capacitor, C = 30 μF = 30 × 10-6F
Inductance of the inductor, L = 27 mH = 27 × 10-3 H
Charge on the capacitor, Q = 6 mC = 6 × 10-3 C
Total energy stored in the capacitor can be calculated as
E = \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^{2}}{C}\) = \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{\left(6 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}}{\left(30 \times 10^{-6}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{36 \times 10^{-6}}{2\left(30 \times 10^{-6}\right)}\)
= \(\frac{6}{10}\) = 0.6 J
Total energy at a later time will remain the same because energy is shared between the capacitor and the inductor.

Question 9.
A series LCR circuit with R = 20 Ω, L = 1.5 H and C = 35 μF is connected to a variable frequency 200 V ac supply. When the frequency of the supply equals the natural frequency of the circuit, what is the average power transferred to the circuit in one complete cycle?
Answer:
When frequency of supply is equal to natural frequency of circuit, then resonance is obtained. At resonance XC = XL
⇒ Impedance, Z = \(\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(X_{C}-X_{L}\right)^{2}}\)
= R = 20Ω
Current in circuit,
Irms = \(\frac{V_{r m s}}{R}\) = \(\frac{200}{20}\) = 10A
Power factor
cosΦ = \(\frac{R}{Z}=\frac{R}{R}\) = 1
∴ Average power pav = Vrms Irms cosΦ = Vrms Irms
= 20 × 10 = 2000 W = 2 kW

Question 10.
A radio can tune over the frequency range of a portion of MW broadcast band : (800 kHz to 1200 kHz). If its LC circuit has an effective inductance of 200 μH, what must be the range of its variable capacitor?
[Hint: For timing, the natural frequency i. e., the frequency of free oscillations of the LC circuit should be equal to the frequency of the radiowave.]
Answer:
The range of frequency (v) of the radio is 800 kHz to 1200 kHz
Lower tuning frequency, v1 = 800 kHz = 800 × 103 Hz
Upper tuning frequency, v2 = 1200 kHz = 1200 × 106 Hz
Effective inductance of circuit, L = 200 μH = 200 × 10-6 H
Capacitance of variable capacitor for v1 is given as
C1 = \(\frac{1}{\omega_{1}^{2} L}\)
where, ω1 = Angular frequency for capacitor C1
= 2 πv1
= 2 π × 800 × 103 rad/s
∴ C1 = \(\frac{1}{\left(2 \pi \times 800 \times 10^{3}\right)^{2} \times 200 \times 10^{-6}}\)
= 197.8 × 10-12F
= 197.8 pF
Capacitance of variable capacitor for v2 is given as
C2 = \(\frac{1}{\omega_{2}^{2} L}\)
where,
ω2 = Angular frequency for capacitor C2
= 2πv2
= 2 π × 1200 × 103 rad/s
∴ C 2 = \(\frac{1}{\left(2 \pi \times 1200 \times 10^{3}\right)^{2} \times 200 \times 10^{-6}}\)
= 87.95 × 10-12 F = 87.95 pF
Hence, the range of the variable capacitor is from 87.95 pF to 197.8 pF.

Question 11.
Figure 7.21 shows a series LCR circuit connected to a variable frequency 230 V source. Z, = 5.0H, C = 80 μF, R = 40Ω.
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 1
(a) Determine the source frequency which drives the circuit in resonance.
(b) Obtain the impedance of the circuit and the amplitude of current at the resonating frequency.
(c) Determine the rms potential drops across the three elements of the circuit. Show that the potential drop across the LC combination is zero at the resonating frequency.
Answer:
Given, the rms value of voltage Vrms = 230 V
Inductance L = 5H
Capacitance C = 80 μF = 80 × 10-6 F
Resistance R = 40 Ω

(a) For resonance frequency of circuit
ωr = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{5 \times 80 \times 10^{-6}}}\) = 50 rad/s
Source frequency at resonance, then
v0 = \(\frac{\omega_{0}}{2 \pi}\) = \(\frac{50}{2 \times 3.14}\) = 7.76 Hz

(b) At the resonant frequency, XL = XC
So, impedance of the circuit Z = R
∴ Impedance Z = 40 Ω
The rms value of current in the circuit
Irms = \(\frac{V_{r m s}}{Z}\) = \(\frac{230}{40}\) = 5.75 A
Amplitude of current, I0 = Irms √2
= 5.75 × √2 = 8.13 A

(c) The rms potential drop across I,
VL = Irms × XL = Irms × ωrL
= 5.75 × 50 × 5 = 1437.5V
The rms potential drop across R
VR = Irms R = 5.75 × 40 = 230 V
The rms potential drop across C,
VC = Irms × XC = Irms × \(\frac{1}{\omega_{r} C}\)
= 5.75 × \(\frac{1}{50 \times 80 \times 10^{-6}}\)
= 1437.5V
Potential drop across LC combinations
= Irms(XL – XC)
= Irms (XL – XL) = 0
(∵ XL = XC in resonance)

Question 12.
An LC circuit contains a 20 mH inductor and a 50 μF capacitor with an initial charge of 10 mC. The resistance of the circuit is negligible. Let the instant the circuit is closed be t = 0.
(a) What is the total energy stored initially? Is it conserved during LC oscillations?
(b) What is the natural frequency of the circuit?
(c) At what time is the energy stored (i) completely electrical (Lestored in the capacitor)? (ii) completely magnetic (i.e., stored in the inductor)?
(d) At what times is the total energy shared equally between the inductor and the capacitor?
(e) If a resistor is inserted in the circuit, how much energy is eventually dissipated as heat?
Answer:
Inductance of the inductor, L = 20 mH = 20 × 10-3H
Capacitance of the capacitor, C = 50 μF = 50 × 10-6 F
Initial charge on the capacitor, Q = 10 mC = 10 × 10-3C

(a) Total energy stored initially in the circuit is given as
E = \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{Q^{2}}{C}\)
= \(\frac{\left(10 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}}{2 \times 50 \times 10^{-6}}=\frac{10^{-4}}{10^{-4}}\) = 1J
Hence, the total energy stored in the LC circuit will be conserved because there is no resistor connected in the circuit.

(b) Natural frequency of the circuit is given by the relation,
v = \(\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{L C}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{2 \pi \sqrt{20 \times 10^{-3} \times 50 \times 10^{-6}}}\)
= \(\frac{10^{3}}{2 \pi}\) = 159.24 Hz
Natural angular frequency,
ωc = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{20 \times 10^{-3} \times 50 \times 10^{-6}}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{10^{-6}}}\) = 103 rad/s
Hence, the natural frequency of the circuit is 10 rad/s.

(c) (i) For time period (T = \(\frac{1}{v}\) = \(\frac{1}{159.24}\) = 6.28 ms), total charge on the
capacitor at time t,
Q’ = Q cos\(\frac{2 \pi}{T}\)t
For energy stored is electrical, we can write Q’ = Q
Hence, it can be inferred that the energy stored in the capacitor is completely electrical at time, t = 0, \(\frac{T}{2}\), T, \(\frac{3 T}{2}\),…

(ii) Magnetic energy is the maximum when electrical energy, Q’ is equal to 0.
Hence, it can be inferred that the energy stored in the capacitor is
completely magnetic at time, t = \(\frac{T}{4}\), \(\frac{3 T}{4}\), \(\frac{5 T}{4}\),….

(d) Q’ = Charge on the capacitor when total energy is equally shared between the capacitor and the inductor at time t.
When total energy is equally shared between the inductor and capacitor,
the energy stored in the capacitor = \(\frac{1}{2}\) (maximum energy)
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 2
Hence, total energy is equally shared between the inductor and the capacitor at time,
t = \(\frac{T}{8}\), \(\frac{3 T}{8}\),\(\frac{5 T}{8}\)

(e) If a resistor is inserted in the circuit, then total initial energy is dissipated as heat energy in the circuit. The resistance damps out the LC oscillation.

Question 13.
A coil of inductance 0.50 H and resistance 100 Ω is connected to a 240 V, 50 Hz ac supply.
(a) What is the maximum current in the coil?
(b) What is the time lag between the voltage maximum and the current maximum?
Answer:
Given, L = 0.50 H ,R = 100 Ω, V = 240 V, v = 50 Hz
(a) Maximum (or peak) voltage V0 = V – √2
Maximum current, I0 = \(\frac{V_{0}}{Z}\)
Inductive reactance, XL = ωL = 2πvL
= 2 × 3.14 × 50 × 0.50
= 157 Ω.
Z = \(\sqrt{R^{2}+X_{L}^{2}}\)
= \(\sqrt{(100)^{2}+(157)^{2}}\) = 186 Ω

Question 14.
Obtain the answers (a) to (b) in Exercise 7.13 if the circuit is connected to a high frequency supply (240 V, 10 kHz). Hence, explain the statement that at very high frequency, an inductor in a circuit nearly amounts to an open circuit. How does an inductor behave in a dc circuit after the steady state?
Answer:
Inductance of the inductor, L = 0.5 Hz
Resistance of the resistor, R = 100 Ω
Potential of the supply voltage, V = 240 V
Frequency of the supply, v = 10 kHz = 104 Hz
Angular frequency, ω = 2πv = 2 π × 104 rad/s

(a) Peak voltage, V0 = √2 × V = 240√2 V
Maximum current, I0 = \(\frac{V_{0}}{\sqrt{R^{2}+\omega^{2} L^{2}}}\)
= \(\frac{240 \sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{(100)^{2}+\left(2 \pi \times 10^{4}\right)^{2} \times(0.50)^{2}}}\)
= 1.1 × 10-2 A

(b) For phase difference, Φ, we have the relation
tanΦ = \(\frac{\omega L}{R}\) = \(\frac{2 \pi \times 10^{4} \times 0.5}{100}\) = 100π
Φ = 89.82° = \(\frac{89.82 \pi}{180}\) rad
ωt = \(\frac{89.82 \pi}{180}\)
t = \(\frac{89.82 \pi}{180 \times 2 \pi \times 10^{4}}\) = 25 μs

It can be observed that I0 is very small in this case. Hence, at high frequencies, the inductor amounts to an open circuit.
In a dc circuit, after a steady state is achieved, ω = 0. Hence, inductor L behaves like a pure conducting object.

Question 15.
A 100 μF capacitor in series with a 40 Ω resistance is connected to a 110 V, 60 Hz supply.
(a) What is the maximum current in the circuit?
(b) What is the time lag between the current maximum and the voltage maximum?
Answer:
Capacitance of the capacitor, C = 100 μF = 100 × 10-6 F = 10-4 F
Resistance of the resistor, R = 40 Ω
Supply voltage, V = 110 V
Frequency of oscillations, v = 60 Hz
Angular frequency, co = 2πv = 2π × 60 rad/s = 120 π rad/s
For a RC circuit, we have the relation for impedance as
Z = \(\sqrt{R^{2}+\frac{1}{\omega^{2} C^{2}}}\)
peak voltage V0 = V√2 = 110√2
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 4

(b) In an RC circuit, the voltage lags behind the current by a phase angle of Φ. This angle is given by the relation
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 5
= 1.55 × 10-3 s
= 1.55 ms
Hence, the time lag between maximum current and maximum voltage is 1.55 ms.

Question 16.
Obtain the answers to (a) and (b) in Exercise 7.15 if the circuit is connected to a 110 V, 12 kHz supply? Hence, explain the statement that a capacitor is a conductor at very high frequencies. Compare this behaviour with that of a capacitor in a dc circuit after the steady state.
Answer:
Capacitance of the capacitor, C = 100 μF = 100 × 10-6 F
Resistance of the resistor, R = 40 Ω
Supply voltage, V = 110 V
Frequency of the supply, v = 12 kHz = 12 × 103 Hz
Angular frequency, ω = 2πv = 2 × π × 12 × 103
= 24 π × 103 rad/s
Peak voltage, V0 = V√2 = 110 √2V
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 6
= 0.04 μs
Hence, Φ tends to become zero at high frequencies. At a high frequency, capacitor C acts as a conductor.
In a dc circuit, after the steady state is achieved, ω = 0. Hence, capacitor C acts an open circuit.

(a) Obtain the current amplitude and rms values.
(b) Obtain the rms values of potential drops across each element.
(c) What is the average power transferred to the inductor?
(d) What is the average power transferred to the capacitor?
(e) What is the total average power absorbed by the circuit?
[‘Average’ implies ‘averaged over one cycle’.]
Answer:
Given,
V = 230 V, v = 50 Hz, L = 80 mH = 80 × 10-3 H,
C = 60µF = 60 × 10-6 F

(a) Inductive reactance XL = ωL = 2πvL
= 2 × 3.14 × 50 × 80 × 10-3
= 25.1 Ω
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 8
(b) RMS value of potential drops across L and C are
VL = XL Irms = 25.1 × 8.23 = 207 V
VC = XC Irms = 53.1 × 8.23 = 437 V
Net voltage = VC – VL = 230 V

(c) The voltage across L leads the current by angle \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) , therefore, average
power
Pav Vrms Irms cos \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = 0 (zero)

(d) The voltage across C lags behind the current by angle \(\frac{\pi}{2}\),
∴ pav = Vrms Irms cos \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = 0

(e) As circuit contains pure I and pure C, average power consumed by LC circuit is zero.

Question 19.
Suppose the circuit in Exercise 7.18 has a resistance of 15 Ω. Obtain the average power transferred to each element of the circuit, and the total power absorbed.
Answer:
Here, R – 15Ω, L = 80 mH = 80 × 10-3 H
C = 60 μF = 60 × 10-6 F.
Er.m.s. = 230 V
v = 50 Hz
> ω = 2πv = 2π × 50 =100 π
Z = impedance of LCR circuit
= \(\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}\right)^{2}}\)
PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current 9
= 7.258 = 7.26 A
∴ Average power consumed by R or transferred to R is given by
(Pav)R = I2r.m.s..R = (7.26)2 × 15 = 790.614 W
= 791 W.
Also (Pav)L and (Pav)C be the average power transferred to I and C respectively.
(Pav)L = Er.m.s. . Ir.m.s. cosΦ
Here e.m.f. leads current by \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
∴ (Pav)L= Er.m.s. . Ir.m.s. cos \(\frac{\pi}{2}\)
= 0
and (Pav )C = = Er.m.s. . Ir.m.s. cosΦ
= 0
( ∵ Φ = \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) and cos \(\frac{\pi}{2}\) = 0

If Pav be the total power absorbed in the circuit, then
Pav = (Pav)L + (Pav )C + (Pav )R
= 0 + 0 + 791
= 791 W

Question 20.
A series LCR circuit with L = 0.12 H, C = 480 nF, R = 23 Ω is connected to a 230 V variable frequency supply.
(a) What is the source frequency for which current amplitude is maximum? Obtain this maximum value.
(b) What is the source frequency for which average power absorbed by the circuit is maximum? Obtain the value of this maximum power.
(c) For which frequencies of the source is the power transferred to the circuit half the power at resonant frequency? What is the current amplitude at these frequencies?
(d) What is the Q-factor of the given circuit?
Answer:
Inductance, L = 0.12 H
Capacitance, C = 480 nF = 480 × 10-9 F
Resistance, R = 23 Ω
Supply voltage, V = 230 V
Peak voltage is given as V0 = √2V
V0 = √2 × 230 = 325.22 V

(a) Current flowing in the circuit is given by the relation,
I0 = \(\frac{V_{0}}{\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(\omega L-\frac{1}{\omega C}\right)^{2}}}\)
where, I0 = maximum at resonance
At resonance, we have
ωRL – \(\frac{1}{\omega_{R} C}[latex] = 0
where, ωR = Resonance angular frequency
∴ ωR = [latex]\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\)
= \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{0.12 \times 480 \times 10^{-9}}}\)
= \(\frac{10^{5}}{\sqrt{12 \times 48}}=\frac{10^{5}}{24}\)
= 4166.67 rad/s
∴ Resonant frequency; vR = \(\frac{\omega_{R}}{2 \pi}\) = \(\frac{4166.67}{2 \times 3.14}\) = 663.48 HZ
and, maximum current (I0)max = \(\frac{V_{0}}{R}\) = \(\frac{325.22}{23}\) 14.14 A

(b) Average power absorbed by the circuit is given as
Pav = \(\frac{1}{2}\)I02R

The average power is maximum at ω = ω0 at which I0 = (I0)max
∴ (pav )max = \(\frac{1}{2}\)(I0)2maxR
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (14.14)2 × 23 = 2299.3 W
= 2300 W

(c) The power transferred to the circuit is half the power at resonant frequency.
Frequencies at which power transferred is half, ω = ωR ± Δ ω
= 2π (vR ± Δv)
where, Δω = \(\frac{R}{2 L}\)
= \(\frac{23}{2 \times 0.12}\) = 95.83 rad/s
Hence, change in frequency, Δ v = \(\frac{1}{2 \pi}\) Δω = \(\frac{95.83}{2 \pi}\) = 15.26 Hz
Thus power absorbed is half the peak power at
vR + Δv = 663.48 + 15.26 = 678.74 Hz
and, vR ΔV = 663.48 – 15.26 = 648.22 Hz
Hence, at 648.22 Hz and 678.74 Hz frequencies, the power transferred is half.
At these frequencies, current amplitude can be given as
I’ = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) × (I0)max = \(\frac{14.14}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{14.14}{1.414}\) = 10 A

(d) Q-factor of the given circuit can be obtained using the relation,
Q = \(\frac{\omega_{R} L}{R}\) = \(\frac{4166.67 \times 0.12}{23}\) = 21.74
Hence, the Q-factor of the given circuit is 21.74.

Question 21.
Obtain the resonant frequency and Q-factor of a series LCR circuit with L = 3.0 H, C = 27 μF and R = 7.4 Ω. It is desired to improve the sharpness of the resonance of the circuit by reducing its ‘full width at half maximum’ by a factor of 2. Suggest a suitable way.
Answer:
Inductance, L = 3.0 H
Capacitance, C = 27 μF = 27 × 10-6F
Resistance, R = 7.4 Ω
At resonance, resonant frequency of the source for the given LCR series circuit is given as
ωr = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{L C}}\) = \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{3 \times 27 \times 10^{-6}}}\)
\(\frac{10^{3}}{9}\) = 111.11 rad s-1
Q-factor of the series
Q = \(\frac{\omega_{r} L}{R}\) = \(\frac{111.11 \times 3}{7.4}\) = 45.0446
To improve the sharpness of the resonance by reducing its ‘full width at half maximum’ by a factor of 2 without changing cor, we need to reduce R to half i. e., Resistance = \(\frac{R}{2}=\frac{7.4}{2}\) = 3.7 Ω.

Question 22.
Answer the following questions :
(a) In any ac circuit, is the applied instantaneous voltage equal to the algebraic sum of the instantaneous voltages across the series elements of the circuit? Is the same true for rms voltage?

(b) A capacitor is used in the primary circuit of an induction coil.

(c) An applied voltage signal consists of a superposition of a dc voltage and an ac voltage of high frequency. The circuit consists of an inductor and a capacitor in series. Show that the dc signal will appear across C and the ac signal across L.

(d) A choke coil in series with a lamp is connected to a dc line. The lamp is seen to shine brightly. Insertion of an iron core in the choke causes no change in the lamp’s brightness. Predict the corresponding observations if the connection is to an ac line.

(e) Why is choke coil needed in the use of fluorescent tubes with ac mains? Why can we not use an ordinary resistor instead of the choke coil?
Answer:
(a) Yes; the statement is not true for rms voltage.
It is true that in any ac circuit, the applied voltage is equal to the average sum of the instantaneous voltages across the series elements of the circuit. However, this is not true for rms voltage because voltages across different elements may not be in phase.

(b) High induced voltage is used to charge the capacitor.
A capacitor is used in the primary circuit of an induction coil. This is because when the circuit is broken, a high induced voltage is used to charge the capacitor to avoid sparks.

(c) The dc signal will appear across capacitor C because for dc signals, the impedance of an inductor (L) is negligible while the impedance of a capacitor (C) is very high (almost infinite). Hence, a dc signal appears across C. For an ac signal of high frequency, the impedance of L is high and that of C is very low. Hence, an ac signal of high frequency appears across L.

(d) If an iron core is inserted in the choke coil (which is in series with a lamp connected to the ac line), then the lamp will glow dimly. This is because the choke coil and the iron core increase the impedance of the circuit.

(e) A choke coil is needed in the use of fluorescent tubes with ac mains because it reduces the voltage across the tube without wasting much power. An ordinary resistor cannot be used instead of a choke coil for this purpose because it wastes power in the form of heat.

Question 23.
A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300 V to a stepdown transformer with its primary windings having 4000 turns. What should be the number of turns in the secondary in order to get output power at 230 V?
Answer:
Input voltage, V1 = 2300 V
Number of turns in primary coil, n1 = 4000
Output voltage, V2 = 230 V
Number of turns in secondary coil = n2
Voltage is related to the number of turns as
\(\frac{V_{1}}{V_{2}}=\frac{n_{1}}{n_{2}}\)
\(\frac{2300}{230}=\frac{4000}{n_{2}}\)
n2 = \(\frac{4000 \times 230}{2300}\) = 400
Hence, there are 400 turns in the second winding.

At a hydroelectric power plant, the water pressure head is at a height of 300 m and the water flow available is 100 m3s-1 . If the turbine generator efficiency is 60%, estimate the electric power available from the plant (g = 9.8 ms-2).
Answer:
Height of the water pressure head, h = 300 m
Volume of water flow per second, V = 100 m3/s
Efficiency of turbine generator, η = 60% = 0.6
Acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/ s2
Density of water, ρ = 103 kg/m3
Electric power available from the plant = η × h ρ gV
= 0.6 × 300 × 103 × 9.8 × 100
= 176.4 × 106 W
= 176.4 MW

Question 25.
A small town with a demand of 800 kW of electric power at 220 V is situated 15 km away from an electric plant generating power at 440 V. The resistance of the two wire line carrying power is 0.5 Ω per km. The town gets power from the line through a 4000-220 V step-down transformer at a sub-station in the town.
(a) Estimate the line power loss in the form of heat.
(b) How much power must the plant supply, assuming there is negligible power loss due to leakage?
(c) Characterise the step up transformer at the plant.
Answer:
Total electric power required, P = 800 kW = 800 × 103 W
Supply voltage, V = 220 V
Voltage at which electric plant is generating power, V’ = 440 V
Distance between the town and power generating station, d = 15 km
Resistance of the two wire lines carrying power = 0.5 Ω/km
Total resistance of the wires, R = (15 + 15)0.5 = 15Ω
A step-down transformer of rating 4000 – 220 V is used in the sub-station.
Input voltage, V1 = 4000 V
Output voltage, V2 = 220 V
rms current in the wire lines is given as
I = \(\frac{P}{V_{1}}\) = \(\frac{800 \times 10^{3}}{4000}\) = 200 A

(a) Line power loss = I2R = (200)2 × 15 = 600 × 103 W = 600 kW

(b) Assuming that the power loss is negligible due to the leakage of the current.
Total power supplied by the plant = 800 kW + 600 kW = 1400 kW

(c) Voltage drop in the power line = IR = 200 × 15 = 3000 V
Hence, total voltage transmitted from the plant = 3000 + 4000 = 7000 V Also, the power generated is 440 V.
Hence, the rating of the step-up transformer situated at the power plant is 440 V – 7000 V.

PSEB 12th Class Physics Solutions Chapter 7 Alternating Current

Question 26.
Do the same exercise as above with the replacement of the earlier transformer by a 40,000-220 V step-down transformer (Neglect, as before, leakage losses though this may not be a good assumption any longer because of the very high voltage transmission involved). Hence, explain why high voltage transmission is preffered?
Answer:
The rating of the step-down transformer is 40000 V – 220 V
Input voltage, V1 = 40000 V
Output voltage, V2 = 220 V
Total electric power required, P = 800 kW = 800 × 103 W
Source potential, V = 220 V
Voltage at which the electric plant generates power, V’ = 440 V
Distance between the town and power generating station, d = 15 km
Resistance of the two wire lines carrying power = 0.5 Ω/km
Total resistance of the wire lines, R = (15 + 15)0.5 = 15 Ω
rms current in the wire line is given as
I = \(\frac{P}{V_{1}}\) = \(\frac{800 \times 10^{3}}{40000}\) = 20A

(a) Line power loss = I2R
= (20)2 × 15 = 6000 W = 6 kW

(b) Assuming that the power loss is negligible due to the leakage of current.
Hence, total power supplied by the plant = 800 kW + 6 kW = 806 kW

(c) Voltage drop in the power line = 7R = 20 × 15 = 300 V
Hence, voltage that is transmitted by the power plant
= 300 + 40000 = 40300 V
The power is being generated in the plant at 440 V.
Hence, the rating of the step-up transformer needed at the plant is 440 V – 40300 V. ‘
Hence, power loss during transmission = \(\frac{600}{1400}\) x 100 = 42.8%
In the previous exercise, the power loss due to the same reason is
\(\frac{6}{800}\) × 100 = 0.744%
Since the power loss is less for a high voltage transmission, high voltage transmissions are preferred for this purpose.

Answer:
[Fe(CN)6]3- involves d2sp3 hybridisation with one unpaired electron and [Fe(H2O)6]3+ involves sp3d2 hybridisation with five unpaired electrons. This difference is due to the presence of strong CN and weak ligand H2O in these complexes.

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 9 Coordination Compounds

Question 4.
CuSO4∙5H2O is blue in colour while CuSO4 is colourless. Why?
Answer:
In CuSO4∙5H2O, water acts as ligand as a result it causes crystal field splitting. Hence, d-d transition is possible in CuSO4∙5H2O and shows colour. In the anhydrous CuSO4 due to the absence of water (ligand), crystal field splitting is not possible and hence it is colourless.

Question 5.
Why do compounds having similar geometry have different magnetic moment?
Answer:
It is due to the presence of weak and strong ligands in complexes, if CFSE is high, the complex will show low value of magnetic moment and vice versa, e.g., [CoF6]3- and [Co(NH3)6]3+, the former is paramagnetic and the latter is diamagnetic.

Short Answer Type Questions

Question 1.
Why is the reactivity of all the three classes of alcohols with cone. HCl and ZnCl2 (Lucas reagent) different ?
Answer:
The reaction of alcohols with Lucas reagent (cone. HCl and ZnCl2) follow SN1 mechanism. SN1 mechanism depends upon the stability of carbocations (intermediate). More stable the intermediate carbocation, more reactive is the alcohol.

Tertiary carbocations are most stable among the three classes of carbocations and the order of the stability of carbocation is 3° > 2° > 1°. This order, intum, reflects the order of reactivity of three classes of alcohols i. e., 3° > 2° > 1°.

Thus , as the stability of carbocations are different so the reactivity of all the three classes of alcohols with Lucas reagent is different.

Question 3.
Explain a process in which a biocatalyst is used in industrial preparation of a compound known to you.
Answer:
Enzymes are biocatalyst. These biocatalysts (enzymes) are used in the industrial preparation of ethanol. Ethanol is prepared by the fermentation of molasses—a dark brown coloured syrup left after crystallisation of sugar which still contains about 40% of sugar.

The process of fermentation actually involves breaking down of large molecules into simple ones in the presence of enzymes. The source of these enzymes is yeast. The various reactions taking place during fermentation of carbohydrates are :
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 10
In wine making, grapes are the source of sugars and yeast. As grapes ripen, the quantity of sugar increases and yeast grows on the outer skin. When grapes are crushed, sugar and the enzyme come in contact and fermentation starts. Fermentation takes place in anaerobic conditions i.e., in absence of air. CO2 gas is released during fermentation.

The action of zymase is inhibited once the percentage of alcohol ,formed exceeds 14 per cent. If air gets into fermentation mixture, the oxygen of air oxidises ethanol to ethanoic acid which in turn destroys the taste of alcoholic drinks.

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers

Question 4.
Explain why alcohols and ethers of comparable molecular mass have different boiling points ?
Answer:
Boiling point depends upon the strength of intermolecular forces of attraction. Higher these forces of attraction, more will be the boiling point. Alcohols undergo intermolecular hydrogen bonding. So, the molecules of alcohols are held together by strong intermolecular forces of attraction.

But in ethers no hydrogen atom is bonded to oxygen. Therefore, ethers are held together by weak dipole-dipole forces, not by strong hydrogen bond.

Since, lesser amount of energy is required than to break weak dipole-dipole forces in ethers than to break strong hydrogen bonds in alcohol.
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 11

Question 5.
Explain why is O = C = O non-polar while R—O—R is polar ?
Answer:
CO2 is a linear molecule. The dipole moment of two C —O bonds are equal and opposite and they cancel each other and hence the dipole moment of CO2 is zero and it is a non-polar molecule.
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 12
While for ethers, two dipoles are pointing in the same direction. These two dipoles do not cancel the effect of each other. Therefore, there is a finite resultant dipoles and hence R—O—R is a polar molecule.
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 13

Question 6.
Give reasons for the following:
(i) p-Nitrophenol is more acidic than o-nitrophenol
(ii) Bond angle C—O—C in ethers is slightly higher than the tetrahedral angle (109°28′).
(iii) (CH3)3C—Br on reaction with NaOCH3 gives an alkene instead of an ether.
Answer:
(i) PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 14
Intramolecular H-bonding in o-nitrophenol makes loss of proton difficult. Therefore, p-nitrophenol is more acidic than o-nitrophenol.

(ii) The PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 15 bond angle in ether is slightly higher than 109 °28′ due to repulsive interaction between the two bulky alkyl groups.

(iii) It is because NaOCH3 is a strong nucleophile as well as a strong base. Thus, elimination reaction predominates over substitution reaction.

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers

Question 7.
Explain the following behaviours :
(i) Alcohols are more soluble in water than the hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses.
(ii) Ortho-nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol.
(iii) Cumene is a better starting material for the preparation of phenol.
Answer:
(i) Alcohols are more soluble in water than the hydrocarbons of comparable molecular masses because of H-bond formation between alcohol and water molecules.
(ii) Ortho-nitrophenol is more acidic than ortho-methoxyphenol because nitro being the electron with drawing group stabilises the phenoxids ion.
(iii) Cumene is a better starting material for the preparation of phenol because side product formed in this reaction is acetone which is another important organic compound.

Answer:
(a) The starting material used in the industrial preparation of phenol is cumene.
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 16

(b) Phenols when treated with bromine water gives polyhalogen derivatives in which all the hydrogen atoms present at ortho and para positions with respect to —OH group are replaced by bromine atoms.
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 17
However, in non-aqueous medium such as CS2, CCl4, CHCl3 monobromophenols are obtained.
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Important Questions Chapter 11 Alcohols, Phenols and Ethers 18
In aqueous solution, phenol ionises to form phenoxide ion. This ion activates the benzene ring to a very large extent and hence the substitution of halogen takes place at all three positions.

On the other hand, in non-aqueous solution ionisation of phenol is greatly suppressed. Therefore, ring is activated slightly and hence monosubstitution occur.

(c) Lewis acid is an electron deficient molecule. In bromination of benzene, Lewis acid is used-to polarise Br2 to form Br+ electrophile.

In case of phenol, oxygen atom of phenol itself polarises the bromine molecule to form Br+ ion (electrophile). So, Lewis acid is not required in the bromination of phenol.

Question 1.
From the rate expression for the following reactions, determine their order of reaction and the dimensions of the rate constants.
(i) 3 NO(g) → N2O(g) Rate = k[NO]2
(ii) H2O2 (aq) +3I (aq) + 2H+ → 2H2O (l) + \(\mathbf{I}_{3}^{-}\)

Dimension of rate constant (k) = \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{[\mathrm{NO}]^{2}}\)
= \(\frac{m o l L^{-1} s^{-1}}{\left(m o l L^{-1}\right)^{2}}\)

Therefore, order of the reaction = 2
Dimension of k = \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{\left[\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}\right]\left[\mathrm{I}^{-}\right]}\)

Therefore, order of the reaction = \(\frac{3}{2}\)
Dimension of k = \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{\left[\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CHO}\right]^{3 / 2}}\)
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 9
= \(\frac{\text { mol L }^{-1} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}{\mathrm{~mol}^{\frac{3}{2}} \mathrm{~L}^{-\frac{3}{2}}}\)
= mol -1/2L1/2 s-1

the rate = k[A] [B]2 with k = 2.0 x 10-6 mol-2L2s-1. Calculate the initial rate of the reaction when [A] = 0.1 mol L-1, [B] = 0.2 mol L-1. Calculate the rate of reaction after [A] is reduced to 0.06 mol L-1.
Solution:
The initial rate of the reaction is
Rate = k [A][B]2
= (2.0 × 10-6 mol-2 L2 s-1) (0.1 mol L-11) (0.2 mol L-1 )2
= 8.0 × 10-9 mol L-1 s-1
When [A] is reduced from 0.1 mol L-1 to 0.06 molL-1, the concentration of A reacted = (0.1 – 0.06) mol L-1 = 0.04 mol L-1 Therefore, concentration of B reacted
= \(\frac{1}{2}\) × 0.04 mol L-1 = 0.02 mol L-1
Then, concentration of B available, [B] = (0.2 -0.02) mol L-1
= 0.18 mol L-1
After [A] is reduced to 0.06 mol L-1, the rate of the reaction is given by,
Rate = k [A][B]2
= (2.0 × 10-6 mol-2 L2 s-1) (0.06 mol L-1) (0.18 mol L-1)2
= 3.89 × 10-9 mol L-1 s-1

Question 3.
The decomposition of NH3 on platinum surface is zero order reaction. What are the rates of production of N2 and H2 if k = 2.5 x 10-4 mol-1 L s-1?
Solution:
The decomposition of NH3 on platinum surface is represented by the following equation
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 1
For zero order reaction, rate = k
∴ \(-\frac{1}{2} \frac{d\left[\mathrm{NH}_{3}\right]}{d t}=\frac{d\left[\mathrm{~N}_{2}\right]}{d t}=\frac{1}{3} \frac{d\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]}{d t}\)
= 2.5 × 10-4 mol L-1 s-1
Therefore, the rate of production of N2
\(\frac{d\left[\mathrm{~N}_{2}\right]}{d t}\) = 2.5 × 10-4 mol L-1 s-1
The rate of production of H2
\(\frac{d\left[\mathrm{H}_{2}\right]}{d t}\) = 3 × 2.5 × 10-4 mol L-1 s-1
= 7.5 × 10-4 mol L-1 s-1

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics

Question 4.
The decomposition of dimethyl ether leads to the formation of CH4, H2 and CO and the reaction rate is given by
Rate = k [CH3OCH3]3/2
The rate of reaction is followed by increase in pressure in a closed vessel, so the rate can also be expressed in terms of the partial pressure of dimethyl ether, i.e.,
Rate = k(PCH3OCH3 )3/2
If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then what are the units of rate and rate constants?
Solution:
If the pressure is measured in bar and time in minutes, then
Unit of rate = bar min-1
Rate = k(PCH3OCH3 )3/2
⇒ k = \(\frac{\text { Rate }}{\left(p_{\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OCH}_{3}}\right)^{3 / 2}}\)
= PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 10

Question 5.
Mention the factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction.
Answer:
The factors that affect the rate of a chemical reaction are as follows :
(i) Nature of reactants: Ionic substances react more rapidly than covalent compounds because ions produced after dissociation are immediately available for reaction.

(ii) Concentration of reactants: Rate of a chemical reaction is direcdy proportional to the concentration of reactants.

(iii) Temperature: Generally rate of a reaction increases on increasing the temperature.

(iv) Presence of catalyst: In presence of catalyst, the rate of reaction generally increase and the equilibrium state is attained quickly in reversible reactions.

(v) Surface area of the reactants: Rate of reaction increases with increase in surface area of the reactants. That is why powdered form of reactants is preffered than their granular form.

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics

Question 6.
A reaction is second order with respect to a reactant. How is the rate of reaction affected if the concentration of the reactant is (i) doubled (ii) reduced to half?
Solution:
Let the concentration of the reactant be [A] = a
Rate of reaction, R = k [A]2 = ka2
(i) If the concentration of the reactant is doubled, i.e. [A] = 2a, then the rate of the reaction would be
R’ = k (2a)2
= 4ka2 = 4R
Therefore, the rate of the reaction would increase by 4 times.

Question 7.
What is the effect of temperature on the rate constant of a reaction? How can this effect of temperature on rate constant be represented quantitatively?
Answer:
The rate constant is nearly doubled with a rise in temperature by 10° for a chemical reaction.

The temperature effect on the rate constant can be represented quantitatively by Arrhenius equation, k = Ae-Ea/RT

Where, k is the rate constant, A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor, R is the gas constant, T is the temperature, and Ea is the energy of activation for the reaction.

(i) Calculate the average rate of reaction between the time interval 30 to 60 seconds.
(ii) Calculate the pseudo first order rate constant for the hydrolysis of ester.
Solution:
(i) Average rate of reaction between the time interval, 30 to 60 seconds
= \(\frac{d[\text { Ester }]}{d t}\)
= \(\frac{0.31-0.17}{60-30}\)
= \(\frac{0.14}{30}\)
= 4.67 × 10-3 mol L-1 s-1

Question 9.
A reaction is first order in A and second order in B.
(i) Write the differential rate equation.
(ii) How is the rate affected on increasing the concentration of B three times?
(iii) How is the rate affected when the concentrations of both A and B are doubled?
Solution:
(i) The differential rate equation will be
– \(\frac{d[\mathrm{R}]}{d t}\) = k[A][B]2

(ii) If the concentration of B is increased three times, then
– \(\frac{d[\mathrm{R}]}{d t}\) = k[A][3B]2
= 9.k [A][B]2
Therefore, the rate of reaction will increase 9 times.

(iii) When the concentrations of both A and B are doubled,
– \(\frac{d[\mathrm{R}]}{d t}\) = k[2A][2B]2
= 8.k [A] [B]2
Therefore, the rate of reaction will increase 8 times.

Question 10.
In a reaction between A and B, the initial rate of reaction (r0) was measured for different initial concentrations of A and B as given below:

A/mol L-1 0.20 0.20 0.40
B/mol L-1 0.30 0.10 0.05
r0/mol L-1 s-1 5.07 × 10-5 5.07 × 105 1.43 × 10-4

What is the order of the reaction with respect to A and B?
Solution:
Let the order of the reaction with respect to A be x and with respect to B be y.
Therefore
r0 = k [A]x [B]y
5.07 × 10-5 = k[0.20]x [0.30]y …………. (i)
5.07 × 10-5 = k[0.20]x [0.10]y …………. (ii)
1.43 × 10-4 = k[0.40]x [0.05]y ……….. (iii)
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 3
Hence, the order of the reaction with respect to A is 1.5 and with respect to B is 0.

Question 11.

2A + B → C + D
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 11
Determine the rate law and the rate constant for the reaction.
Solution:
Let the order of the-reaction with respect to A be x and with respect to B be y.
Therefore, rate of the reaction is given by,
Rate = k [A]x [B]y According to the question,
6.0 × 10-3; = k[0.1]x [0.1]y …………. (i)
7.2 × 10-2 = k[0.3]x [0.2]y …………… (ii)
2.88 × 10-1 = k[0.3]x [0.4]y ………….. (iii)
2.40 × 10-2 = k[0.4]x [0.1]y …………… (iv)
Dividing equation (iv) by (i), we get

Question 12.
The reaction between A and B is first order with respect to A and zero order with respect to B. Fill in the blanks in the following table:
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 12
Solution:
The given reaction is of the first order with respect to A and of zero order with respect to B.
Therefore, the rate of the reaction is given by,
Rate = k[A]1[B]0
⇒ Rate = fc[A]
From experiment I, we get
2.0 × 10-2 molL-1 min-1 = k(0.1 molL-1)
⇒ k = 0.2 min-1

From experiment II, we get
4.0 × 10-2 molL-1 min-1 = 0.2 min-1 [A]
⇒ [A] = 0.2 mol L-1

From experiment III, we get
Rate = 0.2 min-1; × 0.4 mol L-1
= 0.08 mol L-1 min-1

From experiment IV, we get
2.0 × 10-2 molL-1 min-1 = 0.2 min-1 [A]
⇒ [A] = 0.1 mol L-1

(i) t1/2 = \(\frac{0.693}{200 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\) = 0.347 × 10-2 s
= 3.47 × 10-3 s
(ii) t1/2 = \(\frac{0.693}{2 \min ^{-1}}\) = 0.35 mm
(iii) t1/2 = \(\frac{0.693}{4 \text { years }^{-1}}\)= 0.173 years 4 years-1

Question 14.
The half-life for radioactive decay of 14C is 5730 years. An archaeological artifact containing wood had only 80% of the 14C found in a living tree. Estimate the age of the sample.
Solution:
Decay constant (k) = \(\frac{0.693}{t_{1 / 2}}\)
\(\frac{0.693}{5730}\) = years -1
Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics
t = \(\frac{2.303}{k}\) = log\(\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}\)
= \(\frac{\frac{2.303}{0.693}}{5730}\) × log \(\frac{100}{80}\)
= 1845 years
Hence, the age of the sample is 1845 years.

Question 15.
The experimental data for decomposition of N205
[2N2O5 → 4NO2 + O2]
in gas phase at 318K are given below:
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 13
(i) Plot [N2O5] against t.
(ii) Find the half-life period for the reaction.
(iii) Draw a graph between log [N2O5 ] and t.
(iv) What is the rate law?
(v) Calculate the rate constant
(vi) Calculate the half-life period from k and compare it with (ii).
Solution:
(i) The plot of [N2O5] against time is given below:
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 6

(ii) Initial concentration of N2O5 = 1.63 x 10-2 M
Half of this concentration = 0.815 x 10-2 M
Time corresponding to this concentration = 1440 s
Hence t1/2 = 1440 s

(iii) For graph between log[N2O5] and time, we first find the values of log[N2O5]

Time (s) 102 × [N2O5] mol L-1 log [N2O5]
0 1.63 -1.79
400 1.36 -1.87
800 1.14 -1.94
1200 0.93 -2.03
1600 0.78 -2.11
2000 0.64 -2.19
2400 0.53 -2.28
2800 0.43 -2.37
3200 0.35 -2.46

PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 14
(iv) The given reaction is of the first order as the plot, log [N205] v/s t, is a straight line. Therefore, the rate law of the reaction is
Rate = k [N2O5]

(v) From the plot, log [N2O5] v/s t, we get
Slope = \(\frac{-2.46-(-1.79)}{3200-0}\)
= \(\frac{-0.67}{3200}\)
Again, slope of the line of the plot log [N2O5] v/s t is given by
– \(\frac{k}{2.303}\)
Therefore we get
\(-\frac{k}{2.303}=-\frac{0.67}{3200}\)
k = \(\frac{0.67 \times 2.303}{3200}\)
= 4.82 × 10-4s-1

(vi) Half-life period (t1/2) = \(\)
= \(\frac{0.693}{4.82 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\) = 1438 s
Half-life period (t1/2) is calculated from the formula and slopes are approximately the same.

Question 16.
The rate constant for a first order reaction is 60 s-1. How much time will it take to reduce the initial concentration of the reactant to its 1/16th value?
Solution:
For first order reaction
t = \(\frac{2.303}{k}\) log \(\frac{1}{(a-x)}\) …………. (i)
Given (a – x) = \(\frac{1}{16}\); k= 60 s-1
Placing the values in equation (i)
t = \(\frac{2.303}{60 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\) log \(\frac{a \times 16}{a}\)
= \(\frac{2.303}{60 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\) log16 \(\frac{2.303}{60 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\) × 4 log 2
= \(\frac{2.303}{60 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}}\) × 4 × 0.3010
= 4.6 × 10-2s
Hence, the required time is 4.6 × 10-2 s.

Question 17.
During nuclear explosion, one of the products is 90Sr with half-life of 28.1 years. If 1μ g of 90Sr was absorbed in the bones of a newly born baby instead of calcium, how much of it will remain after 10 years and 60 years if it is not lost metabolically.
Solution:
As radioactive disintegration follows first order kinetics,
∴ Decay constant of 90Sr, k = \(\frac{0.693}{t_{1 / 2}}\)
= \(\frac{0.693}{28.1 \mathrm{y}}\) = 2.466 × 10-2y-1

To calculate the amount left after 10 years
[R]0 = 1μg, t = 10 years, k = 2.466 × 10-2y-1,[R] =?
k = \(\frac{2.303}{t}\) log \(\frac{[R]_{0}}{[R]}\)
2.466 × 10-2 = \(\frac{2.303}{10}\) log \(\frac{1}{[R]}\)
or log[R] = – 0.1071
or [Rl = Antilog \(\overline{1}\).8929 = 0.78 14 μg

To calculate the amount left after 60 years
2.466 × 10-2 = \(\frac{2.303}{60}\) log \(\frac{1}{[R]}\)
or log[R] = – 0.6425
or [R] = Antilog \(\overline{1}\).3575 = 0.2278 μg

Question 18.

Solution:
For a first order reaction, the time required for 99% completion is
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 7
Therefore, t1 = 2t2
Hence, the time required for 99% completion of a first order reaction is twice the time required for the completion of 90% of the reaction.

Calculate the rate constant.
Solution:
The decomposition of azoisopropane to hexane and nitrogen at 543 K is represented by the following equation:
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 15
Hence, the average value of rate constant
k = \(\frac{\left(2.175 \times 10^{-3}\right)+\left(2.235 \times 10^{-3}\right)}{2} s^{-1}\)
= 2.21 × 10-3s-1

Question 21.

Experiment Time/s-1 Total pressure/atm
1 0 0.5
2 100 0.6

Calculate the rate of the reaction when total pressure is 0.65 atm.
Solution:
The first order thermal decomposition of SO2cl2 at a constant volume is represented by the following equation:
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 16
= 2.23 × 10-3s-1

When Pt = 0.65 atm,
P0 + p = 0.65
⇒ p = 0.65 – P0
= 0.65 – 0.5
= 0.15 atm
Pressure of SO2Cl2 at time t (PSO2Cl2 SO2Cl2
= P0 – P
= 0.5 – 0.15
= 0.35 atm

Therefore, the rate of equation, when total pressure is 0.65 atm, is given by,
Rate = k × (PSO2Cl2 SO2Cl2)
= (2.23 × 10-3 s-1) (0.35 atm)
= 7.8 × 10-5 atm s-1

Draw a graph between In k and 1/T and calculate the values of A and Ea.
Predict the rate constant at 30° and 50°C.
Solution:
To draw the plot of log k versus 1/T, we can rewrite the given data as follows:
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 18
From graph, we find
Slope = \(\frac{-2.4}{0.00047}\) = 5106.38
Ea = – Slope × 2.303 × R
= – (- 5106.38) × 2.303 × 8.314
= 97772.58 J mol-1
= 97.77258 kJ mol-1

We know that,
log k = log A – \(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R T}\)
log k = log \(\left[-\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R}\right] \frac{1}{T}\) = log A
Compare it with y = mx + c (which is equation of line in intercept form)
log A = value of intercept on y-axis i.e.
on log k-axis [y2 – y1 = -1 – (-7.2)]
= (-1 + 7.2) = 6.2 ,
log A = 6.2
A = Antilog 6.2
= 1.585 × 106 s-1
The values of rate constant k can be found from graph as follows:

The rate constant for the decomposition of hydrocarbons is 2.418 × 10-5 s-1 at 546 K. If the energy of activation is 179.9 kJ/mol, what will be the value of pre-exponential factor.
Solution:
Given, k = 2.418 × 10-5s-1, T = 546 K
Ea = 179.9 kJ mol-1 = 179.9 × 103 J mol-1
According to the Arrhenius equation,
k = Ae-Ea/RT
ln k = ln A – \(\frac{E_{a}}{R T}\)
log k = log A – \(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R T}\)
log A = log K + \(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R T}\)
= log(2.418 × 1015s-1) + \(\frac{179.9 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}{2.303 \times 8.314 \mathrm{Jk}^{-1} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \times 546 \mathrm{~K}}\)
= (0.3835 – 5) +17.2082 = 12.5917
Therefore, A = antilog (12.5917) = 3.9 × 1012s-1

Hence, the fraction of sample of sucrose that remains after 8 hours is 0.158 M.

Question 26.
The decomposition of hydrocarbon follows the equation k = (45 × 1011 s1)e-28000k/T

k = (45 × 1011 s1)e-28000k/T …(i)
Arrhenius equation is given by,
k = AeEa/RT …(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
\(\frac{E_{a}}{R T}\) = \(\frac{28000 \mathrm{~K}}{T}\)
⇒ Ea = R × 28000 K
= 8.314 J K-1 mol-1 × 28000 K

log k = 14.34 – 1.25 × 104 K/T
Calculate Ea for this reaction and at what temperature will its half-period be 256 minutes?
Solution:
Arrhenius equation is given by,
k = Ae-Ea/RT
⇒ log k = log A – \(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 \mathrm{RT}}\) …(i)
log k = 14.34 – 1.25 × 104 K/T …(ii)
From equation (i) and (ii), we get
\(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 \mathrm{RT}}\) = \(\frac{1.25 \times 10^{4} \mathrm{~K}}{T}\)
⇒ Ea = 1.25 × 104K × 2.303 × R
= 1.25 × 104K × 2.303 × 8.314 J K-1 mol-1
= 239339.3 J mol-1
= 239.34 kJ mol-1
Also, when t1/2 = 256 minutes,
For first order reaction
k = \(\frac{0.693}{t_{1 / 2}}\)
= \(\frac{0.693}{256}\)
= 2.707 × 10-13 min-1
= 4.51 × 10-5 s-1
According to Arrhenius theory,
log k = 14.34 – 1.25 × 10,4K/T

Question 28.
The decomposition of A into product has value of & as 45 × 103 s-1 at 10°C and energy of activation 60 kJ mol-1. At what temperature would k be 1.5 × 104 s-1.
Solution:
From Arrhenius equation, we get
\(\log \frac{k_{2}}{k_{1}}\) = \(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 \mathrm{R}}\left(\frac{T_{2}-T_{1}}{T_{1} T_{2}}\right)\)
Also, k1 = 4.5 × 103 s-1
T1 = 273 + 10 = 283k
k2 = 1.5 × 104 s-1
Ea = 60 kJmol-1 = 6.0 × 104 Jmol-1
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 23
⇒ 0.0472T2 = T2 – 283
⇒ 0.9528T2 = 283
⇒ T2 = 297.019 K
= 297K = (297 – 273)0C
= 240C
Hence, k would be 1.5 × 104 s-1 at 240C.

Solution:
For a first order reaction,
PSEB 12th Class Chemistry Solutions Chapter 4 Chemical Kinetics 24
To calculate k at 318 K,
It is given that, A = 4 × 1010 s-1, T = 318 K
Again, from Arrhenius equation, we get
log k = log A – \(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 \mathrm{RT}}\)
= log (4 × 1010) – \(\frac{76.64 \times 10^{3}}{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 318}\)
= (0.6021 + 10) – 12.5870 = -1.9849 k
k = Antilog (-1.9849)
= Antilog (2.0151) = 1.035 × 10-2s-1

Question 2.
In a reaction, 2A → Products, the concentration of A decreases from 0.5 mol L-1 to 0.4 mol L-1 in 10 minutes. Calculate the rate during this interval?
Solution:
Rate of reaction = Rate of disappearance of A = – \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{\Delta[A]}{\Delta t}\)
= – \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{[A]_{2}-[A]_{1}}{t_{2}-t_{1}}\)
= – \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{(0.4-0.5) \mathrm{mol} \mathrm{L}^{-1}}{10 \mathrm{~min}}\)
= – \(\frac{1}{2} \frac{-0.1}{10}\)
= 0.005 mol L-1 min-1
= 5 × 10-3 M min-1

Question 3.
For a reaction, A + B → Product; the rate law is given by,
r = k [A]1/2 [B]2. What is the order of the reaction?
Solution:
The order of the reaction = \(\frac{1}{2}\) + 2
= 2\(\frac{1}{2}\) = 2.5

Question 4.
The conversion of molecules X to Y follows second order kinetics. If concentration of X is increased to three times how will it affect the rate of formation of Y? ‘
Solution:
The reaction X → Y follows second order kinetics.
Therefore, the rate equation for this reaction will be:
Rate (r) = k[X]2 = k × X2 …………. (i)
If the concentration of X is increased to three times, then
Rate (r’) = fc(3X)2 = k × 9X2 ………….. (ii)
Dividing eq. (ii) by eq. (i)
\(\frac{r^{\prime}}{r}=\frac{k \times 9 X^{2}}{k \times X^{2}}\) = 9
It means that the rate of formation of Y will increase by nine times.

= 444.38 s
= 444 s

Question 6.
Time required to decompose SO2Cl2 to half of its initial amount is 60 minutes. If the decomposition is a first order reaction, calculate the rate constant of the reaction.
Solution:
We know that for a 1st order reaction,
t1/2 = \(\frac{0.693}{k}\)
> k = \(\frac{0.693}{t_{1 / 2}}\)
= \(\frac{0.693}{60 \mathrm{~min}}\) = \(\frac{0.693}{(60 \times 60) \mathrm{s}}\)
or k = 1.925 × 10-4 s-1]

Question 7.
What will be the effect of temperature on rate constant?
Answer:
The rate constant of a reaction is nearly doubled with a 10° rise in temperature. However, the exact dependence of the rate of a chemical reaction on temperature is given by Arrhenius equation,
k = Ae-Ea/RT
Where, A is the Arrhenius factor or the frequency factor, T is the temperature, R is the gas constant, Ea is the activation energy.

Question 8.
The rate of the chemical reaction doubles for an increase of 10 K in absolute temperature from 298 K. Calculate Ea.
Solution:
Given, T1 = 298 K
∴ T2 = (298 + 10)K = 308K
We also know that the rate of the reaction doubles when temperature is increased by 10°.
Therefore, let us take the value of k1 = k and that of k2 = 2k
Also, R =8.314 JK-1 mol-1
Now, substituting these values in the equation:

Question 9.
The activation energy for the reaction
2HI (g) → H2 + I2(g)
is 209.5 kJ mol-1 at 58IK. Calculate the fraction of molecules of reactants having energy equal to or greater than activation energy?
Solution:
Fraction of molecules of reactants (x) having energy equal to or greater than activation energy may be calculated as follows
or log x = \(\frac{-E_{a}}{R T}\) or log x = –\(\frac{E_{a}}{2.303 R T}\)
or log x = – \(\frac{209.5 \times 10^{3}}{2.303 \times 8.314 \times 581}\)
= -18.8323
x = Antilog (-18.8323) = Antilog (\(\overline{19}\).1677)
= 1.471 × 10-19
Hence, fraction of molecules of reactants having energy equal to or greater than activation energy = 1.471 × 10-19
