Dimpi's class was shown a video on effects of magnetic field on a current carrying straight conductor. She noticed that the force on the straight current carrying conductor becomes zero when it is oriented parallel to the magnetic field and this force becomes maximum when it is perpendicular to the field. She shared this interesting information with her grandfather in the evening. The grandfather could immediately relate it to something similar in real life situations. He explained it to Dimpi that similar things happen in real life too. When we align and orient our thinking and actions in an adaptive and accommodating way our lives become more peaceful and happy. However, when we adopt an unaccommodating and stubborn attitude, life becomes troubled and miserable. We should therefore always be careful in our response to different situations in life and avoid unnecessary conflicts.
Answer the following based on above information:
(a) Express the force acting on a straight current carrying conductor kept in a magnetic field in vector form. State the rule used to find the direction of this force.
(b) Which one value is displayed and conveyed by the grandfather as well as Dimpi?
(c) Mention one specific situation from your own life which reflects similar values shown by you towards your elders.

Einstein was the first to establish the equivalence between mass energy. According to him, whenever a certain mass \(\left( \Delta m \right) \) disappears in some process, the amount of energy released is \(E=\left( \Delta m \right) { c }^{ 2 },\) where c is velocity of light vacuum \(\left( =3\times { 10 }^{ 8 }m/s \right) .\) The reverse is also true, i.e., whenever energy E disappears, an equivalent mass \(\left( \Delta m \right) ={ E/c }^{ 2 }\) appears.
Read the above passage and answer the following questions :
(i) What is the energy released when 1 a.m.u. of mass disappears in a nuclear reaction?
(ii) Do you know any phenomenon in which energy materialises?
(iii) What values of life do you learn from this famous relation?

The extent of localisation of a particle is determined by its de-Broglie wavelength.If an electron is localised within the nucleus(of size about \({ 10 }^{ -14 }\))of an atom, what is it energy? Compare this energy with the typical binding energies(of the order of a few MeV) in a nucleus and hence argue why electron cannot reside in a nucleus.

Magnetic field induction at a point on the axis at distance x from the centre of the circular coil carrying current is
\({ B }_{ 1 }=\cfrac { { \mu }_{ 0 } }{ 4\pi } .\cfrac { { 2\pi nIa }^{ 2 } }{ ({ a }^{ 2 }+{ x }^{ 2 })^{ 3/2 } } \)
Magnetic field induction at the centre of the circular coil carrying current is
\({ B }_{ 2 }=\cfrac { { \mu }_{ 0 } }{ 4\pi } .\cfrac { 2\pi nI }{ a } \)
But as per question,\({ B }_{ 1 }=\cfrac { { B }_{ 2 } }{ 8 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \ \cfrac { { \mu }_{ 0 } }{ 4\pi } .\cfrac { { 2\pi nIa }^{ 2 } }{ ({ a }^{ 2 }+{ x }^{ 2 })^{ 3/2 } } =\cfrac { { \mu }_{ 0 } }{ 4\pi } .\cfrac { 2\pi nl }{ a } X\frac { 1 }{ 8 } \)
\(\Rightarrow \ \cfrac { { a }^{ 2 } }{ ({ a }^{ 2 }+{ x }^{ 2 })^{ 3/2 } } =\cfrac { 1 }{ 8a } \quad \Rightarrow { 8 }a^{ 3 }=({ a }^{ 2 }+{ x }^{ 3 })^{ 3/2 }\)
\(\Rightarrow \) 2a = (a2 + x2)1/2
\(\Rightarrow \) 4a2 = a2+x2 \(\Rightarrow x=\sqrt { 3a }\)

The following figure shows a Cassegrain telescope consisting of a concave mirror and a convex mirror.
Distance between the objective mirror and the secondary mirror, d = 20 mm
Radius of curvature of the objective mirror, R1 = 220 mm
Hence, focal length of the objective mirror, \({ f }_{ 1 }=\frac { { R }_{ 1 } }{ 2 } =110\)
Radius of curvature of the secondary mirror, R1 = 140 mm
Hence, focal length of the secondary mirror, \({ f }_{ 2 }=\frac { { R }_{ 2 } }{ 2 } =\frac { 140 }{ 2 } \) = 70 mm
The image of an object placed at infinity, formed by the objective mirror, will act as a virtual object for the secondary mirror.
Hence, the virtual object distance for the secondary mirror, u = f1 - d
= 110 - 20
= 90 mm
Applying the mirror formula for the secondary mirror, we can calculate image distance (v) as:
\(\frac { 1 }{ v } +\frac { 1 }{ u } =\frac { 1 }{ { f }_{ 2 } } \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ v } =\frac { 1 }{ { f }_{ 2 } } -\frac { 1 }{ u } \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ 70 } -\frac { 1 }{ 90 } =\frac { 9-7 }{ 630 } =\frac { 2 }{ 630 } \)
∴ v = \(\frac{630}{2}\) = 315 mm
Hence, the final image will be formed 315 mm away from the secondary mirror.
25.
The focal length f = -15/2 cm = -7.5 cm
(i) The object distance u = -10 cm. Then Eq gives
\(\frac { 1 }{ v } +\frac { 1 }{ 10 } =\frac { 1 }{ -7.5 } \)
or \(v=\frac { 10\times 7.5 }{ -2.5 } =-30\) cm
The image is 30 cm from the mirror on the same side as the object
Also, magnification m = \(\frac { v }{ u } =-\frac { (-30) }{ (-10) } =-3\)
The image is magnified, real and inverted.
(ii) The object distance u = -5 cm. Then from Eq
\(\frac { 1 }{ v } +\frac { 1 }{ -5 } =\frac { 1 }{ -7.5 } \)
or \(v=\frac { 5\times 7.5 }{ (7.5-5) } =15\) cm
This image is formed at 15 cm behind the mirror. It is a virtual image.
Magnification m = 15 \(-\frac { v }{ u } =-\frac { 15 }{ (-5) } =3\)
The image is magnified, virtual and erect.
26.

The first refracting ABC forms the image I1 of the object O. The image I1 acts as virtual object for the second refracting surface ADC, which forms the real image I as shown in the diagram
For refraction at ABC
\(\frac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { v }_{ 1 } } -\frac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ u } =\frac { { n }_{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 1 } }{ { R }_{ 1 } } \)
For refraction at ADC
\(\frac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ v } -\frac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { v }_{ 1 } } =\frac { { n }_{ 1 }-{ n }_{ 2 } }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \)
Adding equation (i) and equation (ii)
\(\frac { { n }_{ 1 } }{ v } -\frac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ u } =\left( { n }_{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 1 } \right) \left( \frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ v } -\frac { 1 }{ u } =\left( \frac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } -1 \right) \left( \frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \)
We know, If \(u=\infty ,v=f\)
\(\frac { 1 }{ v } -\frac { 1 }{ u } =\frac { 1 }{ f } \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ f } =\left( \frac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } -1 \right) \frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ f } =\left( { \mu }_{ 21 }-1 \right) \left( \frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ f } =\left( { \mu }_{ 21 }-1 \right) \left( \frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 1 } } -\frac { 1 }{ { R }_{ 2 } } \right) \)
\(\frac { 1 }{ f } =\left( 1.55-1 \right) \left( \frac { 1 }{ R } -\frac { 1 }{ -R } \right) \)
\(=0.55\times \frac { 2 }{ R } \)
\(R=0.55\times 2\times 20=22 \ cm\)

(a) \(\overrightarrow{F}=I(\overrightarrow{l} \times \overrightarrow{B})\), where \(\overrightarrow{l}\) is a vector of magnitude l, the length of the rod, and with a direction identical to the current I. Note that the current I is not a vector. According to Fleming's left hand rule,\(\overrightarrow{B}\) must act horizontally in a direction perpendicular to the wire carrying current.
(b) Adaptation to different situations and flexible and adjustable attitude.
(c) Avoiding unnecessary arguments in conflicting situations in everyday life.
28.
(i) Here, \(\Delta m=1\quad a.m.u.=1.66\times { 10 }^{ -27 }kg\)
\(E=\left( \Delta m \right) { c }^{ 2 }=1.66\times { 10 }^{ -27 }{ \left( 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } \right) }^{ 2 }=1.49\times { 10 }^{ -10 }J\)
(ii) Yes, in the phenomenon of pair production. Under suitable conditions, a photon materialises into an electron and a position : \(\gamma ={ e }^{ -1 }+{ e }^{ +1 }\)
(iii) Einstein's relation, \(E=\left( \Delta m \right) { c }^{ 2 }\) emphasis that when certain mass disappears, an equivalent amount of energy appears. The reverse is also true. It Implies that to gain something, you have to lose another in equivalent amount. No one can have all gains together or all losses together. It also implies that nothing come for free. You have to pay the price in one form and acquire something in the desired form.
29.
Since the electron has been localised within the nucleus (of size about \({ 10 }^{ -14 }\) m)of an atom, so \({ \lambda =10 }^{ -14 }\)
Momentum of electron,
\(p=\frac { h }{ \lambda } =\frac { 6.63\times { 10 }^{ -34 } }{ { 10 }^{ -14 } } =6.63\times { 10 }^{ -20 }kg{ ms }^{ -1 }\)
The relativistic relation for the energy of an electron is
\(E=\sqrt { { p }^{ 2 }{ c }^{ 2 }+{ { m }_{ 0 } }^{ 2 }{ c }^{ 4 } } \)
Neglecting the rest-mass energy term(i.e., second term), we have
\(E=pc=(6.63\times { 10 }^{ -20 })\times (3\times { 10 }^{ 8 })J\)
\( =\frac { 6.63\times 3\times { 10 }^{ -12 } }{ 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -13 } } MeV=124.3MeV\)
This energy E(=124.3MeV) is very large as compared to the binding energy which is provided by Coulomb's force within the nucleus. Since the energy of electron inside the nucleus, hence the electron does not reside the nucleus.
