    When an electric dipole of moment \(\left| P \right| \) = q \(\times\) 2a is held at an angle \(\theta\), with the direction of uniform external electric field E, a torque \(\tau \) = pE sin\(\theta\) acts on the dipole. This torque tries to align the electric dipole in the direction of the field. When p is along E, \(\theta=0^{o}\)\(\tau \) = pE sin\(0^{o}\) = zero.

    In 1909, Robert Millikan was the first to find the charge of an electron in his now-famous oil-drop experiment. In that experiment, tiny oil drops were sprayed into a uniform electric field between a horizontal pair of oppositely charged plates. The drops were observed with a magnifying eyepiece, and the electric field was adjusted so that the upward force on some negatively charged oil drops was just sufficient to balance the downward force of gravity. That is, when suspended, upward force qE just equaled Mg. Millikan accurately measured the charges on many oil drops and found the values to be whole number multiples of 1.6 x 10-19 C the charge of the electron. For this, he won the Nobel prize.

It was observed that, the sum of the masses of new fragments formed were less than the mass of the original nuclei. This difference in the mass appeared as the energy released in the process.

    The density of nuclear matter is the ratio of the mass of a nucleus to its volume. As the volume of a nucleus is directly proportional to its mass number A, so the density of nuclear matter is independent of the size of the nucleus. Thus, the nuclear matter behaves like a liquid of constant density. Different nuclei are like drops of this liquid, of different sizes but of same density.
    Let A be the mass number and R be the radius of a nucleus. If m is the average mass of a nucleon, then
    Mass of nucleus = mA
    \(\text { Volume of nucleus }=\frac{4}{3} \pi R^{3}=\frac{4}{3} \pi\left(R_{0} A^{1 / 3}\right)^{3}=\frac{4}{3} \pi R_{0}^{3} A\)

    Niels Bohr introduced the atomic Hydrogen model in 1913. He described it as a positively charged nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. In the model, electrons orbit the nucleus in atomic shells. The atom is held together by electrostatic forces between the positive nucleus and negative surroundings.

    Bohr correctly proposed that the energy and radii of the orbits of electrons in atoms are quantized, with energy for transitions between orbits given by
    \(\Delta E=h v=E_{i}-E_{f}\) Where \(\Delta E\) is the change in energy between the initial and final orbits and hv is the energy of an absorbed or emitted photon.

    In 1911, Rutherford, along with his assistants, H. Geiger and E. Marsden, performed the alpha particle scattering experiment. H. Geiger and E. Marsden took radioactive source \(\left(\begin{array}{c} 214 \\ 83 \end{array} \mathrm{Bi}\right)\) for a-particles. A collimated beam of a-particles of energy 5.5 MeV was allowed to fall on 2.1 x 10-7 m thick gold foil. The a-particles were observed through a rotatable detector consisting of a Zinc sulphide screen and microscope. It was found that a-particles got scattered. These scattered a-particles produced scintillations on the zinc sulphide screen. Observations of this experiment are as follows.
    (I) Most of the a-particles passed through the foil without deflection.
    (II) Only about 0.14% of the incident a-particles scattered by more than 1°.

    At room temperature, most of the H-atoms are in ground state. When an atom receives some energy (i.e., by electron collisions), the atom may acquire sufficient energy to raise electron to higher energy state.

Each photon has energy \(E(=h v=h c / \lambda)\) and momentum \(p\left(=\frac{h v}{c}=\frac{h}{\lambda}\right)\) where h is Planck's constant, v and A are the frequency and wavelength of radiation and c is the velocity of light. The photon energy is independent of the intensity of radiations. All the photons emitted from a source of radiations travel through space with the same speed c.

    To study photoelectric effect, an emitting electrode C of a photosensitive material is kept at negative potential and collecting electrode A is kept at positive potential in an evacuated tube. When light of sufficiently high frequency falls on emitting electrode, photoelectrons are emitted which travel directly to collecting electrode and hence an electric cusrent called photoelectric current starts flowing in the circuit, which is directly proportional to the number of photoelectrons emitted by emitting electrode C.

    While demonstrating the existence of electromagnetic waves, Hertz found that high voltage sparks passed across the metal electrodes of the detector loop more easily when the cathode was illuminated by ultraviolet light from an arc lamp. The ultraviolet light falling on the metal surface caused the emission of negatively charged particles,which are now known to be electrons, into the surrounding space and hence enhanced the high voltage sparks.

    Lenz's law states that the direction of induced current in a circuit is such that it opposes the change which produces it. Thus, if the magnetic flux linked with a closed circuit increases, the induced current flows in such a direction that magnetic flux is created in the opposite direction of the original magnetic flux.

    The plane of the circle is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the axis of the helix is parallel to the magnetic field. The charged particle. moves along helical path touching the line parallel to the magnetic field passing through the starting point after each rotation.
    Radius of circular path is \(r=\frac{m v \sin \theta}{1 v_{q} B}\)
