Let, l' be the length of the image, then
\(m=\cfrac { l' }{ l } =\cfrac { l' }{ f/3 } \) (or) \(l=\cfrac { m_lf }{ 3 } \)
Image of one end coincides with the object. Thus, the coinciding end must be at center of curvature.

(a) The velocity of an electron in nth orbit is
\(\upsilon _{ n }=\frac { h }{ 2\pi m{ a }_{ 0 } } \frac { Z }{ n } \)
Where \({ a }_{ 0 }=\frac { { \epsilon }_{ 0 }{ h }^{ 2 } }{ \pi { me }^{ 2 } } \) = Bohr radius. Substituting for a0 in ሀn,
\({ \upsilon }_{ n }=\frac { { e }^{ 2 } }{ 2{ \epsilon }_{ 0 }h } \frac { Z }{ n } =c\left( \frac { { e }^{ 2 } }{ 2{ \epsilon }_{ 0 }hc } \right) \frac { Z }{ n } =\frac { \alpha cZ }{ n } \)
where c is the speed of light in free space or vacuum and its value is c = 3 x 108 m s–1 and α is called fine structure constant.
For a hydrogen atom, Z = 1 and for the first orbit, n = 1, the ratio of velocity of electron in first orbit to the speed of light in vacuum or free space is
\(\frac { { \upsilon }_{ 1 } }{ c } =\alpha =\frac { { e }^{ 2 } }{ 2{ \epsilon }_{ 0 }hc } \)
\(\alpha =\frac { { (1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }C })^{ 2 } }{ 2\times (8.854\times { 10 }^{ -12 }{ C }^{ 2 }{ N }^{ -1 }{ m }^{ -2 }) } \) x \(\frac { 1 }{ (6.6\times { 10 }^{ -34 }{ Nms)\times (3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } }{ ms }^{ -1 }) } \)
≈ \(\frac{1}{136.9}=\frac{1}{137}\) which is a dimensionless number
⇒ α = \(\frac{1}{137}\)
(b) Using fine structure constant, the velocity of electron can be written as vn = \(\frac{αcZ}{n}\)
For hydrogen atom (Z = 1) the velocity of electron in nth orbit is vn = \(\frac{c}{137}\frac{1}{n}=(2.19\times10^6)\frac{1}{n}ms^{-1}\)
For the first orbit (ground state), the velocity of electron is v1 = 2.19 x 106ms−1
For the second orbit (first excited state), the velocity of electron is v2 = 1.095 x 106ms−1
For the third orbit (second excited state), the velocity of electron is v3 = 0.73 x 106ms−1
Here, v1 > v2 > v3

Relation between f and R:
C ⇒ Center of curvature
F ⇒ Principal focus
i ⇒ Angle of incidence

The angles
\(\tan i=\frac{P M}{P C} \text { and } \tan 2 i=\frac{P M}{P F}\)
As the angles are small, tan i = i and tan 2i = 2i.
\(\mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{PM}}{\mathrm{PC}} \text { and } 2 \mathrm{i}=\frac{\mathrm{PM}}{\mathrm{PF}}\)
Simplifying further,
\(2 \frac{\mathrm{PM}}{\mathrm{PC}}=\frac{\mathrm{PM}}{\mathrm{PF}} ; 2 \mathrm{PF}=\mathrm{PC}, \mathrm{R}=2 \mathrm{f}\)
PF is focal length f and PC is the radius of curvature R.

(v) The angular frequency of oscillations of a spring-mass is given by equation
\(\omega =\sqrt { \frac { k }{ m } } \)
k ⟶ \(\frac { 1 }{ C } \) and m ⟶ L. Therefore, the angular frequency of LC oscillations is given by
ω = \(\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { LC } } \)

Since isotopes are singly ionized, they have equal charge which is equal to the charge of an electron, q = - 1.6 x 10-19 C. Mass of uranium \(_{ 92 }^{ 235 }{ U and _{ 92 }^{ 238 }{ U } }\) are 3.90 x 10-25 kg and 3.95 x 10-25 kg respectively. Magnetic field applied, B = 0.500 T. Velocity of the electron is 1.00 x 105 m s-1, then
(a) the radius of the path of \(_{ 92 }^{ 235 }{ U }\) is r235
\({ r }_{ 235 }=\frac { { m }_{ 235 }v }{ \left| q \right| B } =\frac { 3.90\times { 10 }^{ -25 }\times 1.00\times { 10 }^{ 5 } }{ 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }\times 0.500 } =48.8\times { 10 }^{ -2 }m\)
r235 = 48.8cm
The diameter of the semi-circle due to \(_{ 92 }^{ 235 }{ U\ \ is \ \ { d }_{ 235 }=2{ r }_{ 235 } }\) = 97.6 cm
The radius of the path of \(_{ 92 }^{ 238 }{ U\ is\ 2{ r }_{ 238 }\ then}\)
\({ r }_{ 238 }=\frac { { m }_{ 238 }v }{ \left| q \right| B } =\frac { 3.90\times { 10 }^{ -25 }\times 1.00\times { 10 }^{ 5 } }{ 1.6\times { 10 }^{ -19 }\times 0.500 } =49.4\times { 10 }^{ -2 }m\)
r238 = 49.4 cm
The diameter of the semi-circle due to \(^{ 238 }_{92}{ U\ is \ 2{ r }_{ 238 } \ =98.8 \ cm}\)
Therefore the separation distance between the isotopes is \(\triangle d={ d }_{ 238 }-{ d }_{ 235 }=1.2 \ cm\)
(b) The time taken by each isotope to complete one semi-circular path are
\({ t }_{ 235 }=\frac { \text{ magnitude of the displacement} }{ velocity } \)
\(=\frac { 97.6\times { 10 }^{ -2 } }{ 1.00\times { 10 }^{ 5 } } =9.76\times { 10 }^{ -6 }s=9.76\mu s\)
\({ t }_{ 238 }=\frac { \text{magnitude of the displacement }}{ velocity } \)
\(=\frac { 98.8\times { 10 }^{ -2 } }{ 1.00\times { 10 }^{ 5 } } =9.88\times { 10 }^{ -6 }s=9.88\mu s\)

Gravitational force \(F_{g}=\frac{G m_{E} \times m_{M}}{r^{2}}\); Electro static force \(F_e=k\frac{q \times q}{r^2}\)
By equating the forces, \( k\frac{q \times q}{r^{2}}=G \cdot \frac{m_{E} \times m_{M}}{r^{2}} \)
\(\because k=\frac{1}{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0}}=9 \times 10^{9} \)
\( 4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} =0.11 \times 10^{-9} \)
\(q =\sqrt{4 \pi \varepsilon_{0} G m_{E} \cdot m_{M}} \) ....(1)
\(=\sqrt{0.11 \times 10^{-9} \times 6.67 \times 10^{-11} \times 5.9 \times 10^{24} \times 7.9 \times 10^{22}}\)

(a) The charge q on any object is equal to an integral multiple of this fundamental unit of charge.
(b) q = ne
(c) Here, n is any integer \((0, \pm 1, \pm 2, \pm 3, \pm 4 \ldots)\) This is called Quantisation of electric charge.

The diameter of the coil is 0.24 m. Therefore, radius of the coil is 0.12 m.
Number of turns is 100 turns. Earth’s magnetic field is 25 x 10-6 T
Deflection is
\(\theta =60°\Rightarrow tan60°=\sqrt { 3 } =1.732\)
\(I=\frac { 2R{ B }_{ H } }{ { \mu }_{ ° }N } tan\theta \)
\(=\frac { 2\times 0.12\times 25\times 1{ 0 }^{ -6 } }{ 4\times 1{ 0 }^{ -7 }\times 3.14\times 100 } \times 1.732=0.82\times 1{ 0 }^{ -1 }A\)
I = 0.082 A

(a) The electrostatic potential on the surface of the sphere A is VA = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \epsilon }_{ 0 } } \frac { { q }_{ 1 } }{ { r }_{ 1 } } \)
The electrostatic potential on the surface of the sphere A is VB = \(\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \epsilon }_{ 0 } } \frac { { q }_{ 2 } }{ { r }_{ 2 } } \)
Since VA = VB. We have
\(\frac { { q }_{ 1 } }{ { r }_{ 1 } } =\frac { { q }_{ 2 } }{ { r }_{ 2 } } \Rightarrow { q }_{ 1 }=\left( \frac { { r }_{ 1 } }{ { r }_{ 2 } } \right) { q }_{ 2 }\)
But from the conservation of total charge, Q = q1 + q2, we get q1 = Q – q2. By substituting this in the above equation,
Q - q2 = \(\left( \frac { { r }_{ 1 } }{ { r }_{ 2 } } \right) { q }_{ 2 }\)
so that q2 = Q\(\left( \frac { { r }_{ 2 } }{ { r }_{ 1 }+{ r }_{ 2 } } \right) \)
Therefore,
q2 = 100 x 10-9 x \(\left( \frac { 2 }{ 10 } \right) \) = 20nC and q1 = Q - q2 = 80nC
The electric charge density for sphere A is σ1 = \(\frac { { q }_{ 1 } }{ 4\pi { r }_{ 1 }^{ 2 } } \)
The electric charge density for sphere B is σ2 = \(\frac { { q }_{ 2 } }{ 4\pi { r }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } \)
Therefore,
σ1 = \(\frac { 80\times 10^{ -9 } }{ 4 \pi \times 64\times 10^{ -4 } } \) = 0.99 x 10-6 Cm-2 and
σ2 =\(\frac { 20\times 10^{ -9 } }{ 4\pi \times 4\times 10^{ -4 } } \) = 3.9 x 10-6 Cm-2
Note that the surface charge density is greater on the smaller sphere compared to the larger sphere (σ2 ≈ 4σ1) which confirms the result \(\frac { { \sigma }_{ 1 } }{ \sigma _{ 2 } } =\frac { { r }_{ 2 } }{ { r }_{ 1 } } \)
The potential on both spheres is the same. So we can calculate the potential on any one of the spheres
VA=\(\frac { 1 }{ 4\pi { \varepsilon }_{ 0 } } \frac { { q }_{ 1 } }{ { r }_{ 1 } } =\frac { 9\times 10^{ 9 }\times 80\times { 10 }^{ -9 } }{ 8\times 10^{ -2 } } \) = 9kV

(i) Consider a parallel beam of light, incident on a reflecting plane surface such as a plane mirror XY as shown in Figure.
(ii) The incident wavefront is AB and the reflected wavefront is A'B' in the same medium. These wavefronts are perpendicular to the incident rays L, M and reflected rays L', M' respectively.
(iii) By the time point A of the incident wavefront touches the reflecting surface, point B is yet to travel a distance BB' to touch the reflecting surface a B'.
(iv) When point B falls on the reflecting surface at H', point A would have reached A.
(v) This is applicable to all the points on the wavefront. Thus, the reflected wavefront A'B' emanates as a plane wavefront. The two normals Nand N' are considered at the points where the rays Land Mfallon the reflecting surface.
(vi) As reflection happens in the same medium, the speed of light is the same before and after the reflection.
(vii) Hence, the time is taken for the ray to travel from B to B' is the same as the time taken for the ray to travel from A to A'.
(viii) Thus, the distance BB' is equal to the distance AA'; (A~A' = BB').
(a) The incident rays, the reflected rays, and the normal are in the same plane.
(b) Angle of incidence,\(\angle i=\angle NAL={ 90 }^{ o }-\angle NAB=\angle BAB'\)
Angle of reflection,
∠r= ∠N' B' M' = 900 - ∠N' B' A' = A' B' A'
(ix) For the two right-angle triangles, ΔABB' and ΔB' A' A', the right angles, ∠B and ∠A' are equal, (∠B and∠A = 900); the two sides, ∠A' and ∠B' are equal, (AA'= BB'); the side AB' is common.
(x) Thus, the two triangles are congruent. As per the property of congruency, the two angles, ∠BAB' and A' B' A' must also be equal.
i = r
Hence, the laws of reflection are proved.

(i)The lateral or transverse magnification is defined as the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object.
(ii) The height of the object and image are measured perpendicular to the principal axis
\(magnification(m)=\cfrac { height \ of\ the\ image(h') }{ heigh \ of\ the\ object(h) } \)
\(m=\cfrac { h' }{ h } \)
Applying proper sign conventions for equation (1),
\(\cfrac { A'B' }{ AB } =\cfrac { PA' }{ PA } \)
A'B' = -h, AB = h, PA' = -v, PA = -u
\(\cfrac { -h' }{ h } =\cfrac { -v }{ -u } \)
On simplifying we get,
\(m=\cfrac { h' }{ h } =-\cfrac { v }{ u } \)
Using mirror equation, we can further write the magnification as, magnification as,
\(m=\cfrac { h' }{ h } =\cfrac { f-v }{ f } =\cfrac { f }{ f-u } \) ...(3)

(i) At a minimum deviation \(\mu =\cfrac { sin\left( \frac { A+{ \delta }_{ m } }{ 2 } \right) }{ sin\left( \cfrac { A }{ 2 } \right) } \)
Given \({ \delta }_{ m }=A\)
\(\mu =\cfrac { sinA }{ sin\cfrac { A }{ 2 } } =\cfrac { 2sin\cfrac { A }{ 2 } cos\cfrac { A }{ 2 } }{ sin\cfrac { A }{ 2 } } \)
= \(2cos\cfrac { A }{ 2 } \)
\(\therefore cos\cfrac { A }{ 2 } =\cfrac { \sqrt { 3 } }{ 2 } \cfrac { A }{ 2 } =30\) A = 6o
(iii) \(\mu =\sqrt { 3 } \cfrac { 1 }{ { sini }_{ c } } \Rightarrow { sini }_{ c }=\cfrac { 1 }{ \sqrt { 3 } } \)

X-rays are being used in many fields. Let us list a few of them.
(i) Medical diagnosis X-rays can pass through flesh more easily than through bones. Thus an x-ray radiograph containing a deep shadow of the bones and a light shadow of the flesh may be obtained. X-ray radiographs are used to detect fractures, foreign bodies, diseased organs, etc.
(ii) Medical therapy Since x-rays can kill diseased tissues, they are employed to cure skin diseases, malignant tumors, etc.
(iii) Industry X-rays are used to check for flaws in welded joints, motor tires, tennis balls, and wood. At the customs post, they are used for the detection of contraband goods.
(iv) Scientific research X-ray diffraction is an important tool to study the structure of the crystalline materials - that is, the arrangement of atoms and molecules in crystals.

From the Snell's law in product form, n1 sini = n2 sinr ....(1)
The equation for this refraction at the point A is as shown in the Figure
n3sin ia = n1sin ra ........(1)
(vi) To have the total internal reflection inside optical fibre, the angle of incidence at the core-cladding interface at B should be at least critical angle ie' From equation (1), for equation for the refraction at point B is,
n1 sin ic = n2 sin 90o ...(3)
n1sin ic = n2 ∵ sin 90o=1
\(sin{ i }_{ c }=\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } \) ...(4)
From the right angle triangle Δ ABC,
ic = 90o - ra
Now, equation (4) becomes
\(sin\left( { 90 }^{ o }-{ r }_{ a } \right) =\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } \) (or) \(cos{ r }_{ a }=\cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } \) ...(5)
\(sin{ r }_{ a }=\sqrt { 1-{ cos }^{ 2 }{ r }_{ a } } \)
Substituting for cos ra
\(sin{ r }_{ a }=\sqrt { 1-\left( \cfrac { { n }_{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 } } \right) ^{ 2 } } =\sqrt { \cfrac { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 } } } \) ...(6)
Substituting this in equation
\({ n }_{ 3 }{ sini }_{ a }={ n }_{ 1 }\sqrt { \cfrac { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 } } } =\sqrt { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } \) ...(7)
On further simplification
\(sini_{ a }=\cfrac { \sqrt { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } }{ n_{ 3 } } \) (or) \(\quad { i }_{ a }=\sqrt { \cfrac { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 3 }^{ 2 } } } \) ...(8)
\(\therefore{ i }_{ a }={ sin }^{ -1 }\left( \sqrt { \cfrac { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } }{ { n }_{ 3 }^{ 2 } } } \right) \) ...(9)
If outer medium is air, then n3 = 1. The acceptance angle ia becomes
\({ i }_{ a }={ sin }^{ -1 }\left( \sqrt { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } \right) \) ..(10)
Light can have any angle of incidence from 0 to ia with the normal at the end of the optical fibre forming a conical shape called acceptance cone. In the equation (6), the term (n3sinia) is called numerical aperture NA of the optical fibre.
\(NA={ n }_{ 3 }{ sini }_{ a }=\sqrt { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } \)
If outer medium is ab then n3 = 1
The numerical aperture NA becomes,
\(NA={ sini }_{ a }=\sqrt { { n }_{ 1 }^{ 2 }-{ n }_{ 2 }^{ 2 } } \)

Mirror Equation :

(i) AB is an object which is placed on the principal axis of a concave mirror beyond the center of curvature C. A' B' is an image which is formed between the point pole P, and the centre of curvature.
(ii) From the figure As per law of reflection, the angle of incidence ∠BPA is equal to the angle of reflection ∠B'PA'.
(iii) The triangles ∠BPA and ∠B'PA' are similar. Thus, from the rule of similar triangles,
\(\cfrac { { A }^{ ' }{ B }^{ ' } }{ AB } =\cfrac { { PA }^{ ' } }{ PA } \) ................(1)
(iv) The other set of similar triangles are, ΔDPF and ΔB'A'F. (PD is almost a straight vertical line)
\(\cfrac { { A }^{ ' }B' }{ PD } =\cfrac { A'F }{ PF } \)
(v) As, PD = AB the above equation becomes,
\(\cfrac { A'B' }{ AB } =\cfrac { A'F }{ PF } \) ......(2)
(vi) From equations (1) and (2) we can write,
\(\cfrac { PA' }{ PA } =\cfrac { A'F }{ PF } \)
(vii) As, A'F = PA' - PF, the above equation becomes,
\(\cfrac { PA' }{ PA } =\cfrac { PA'-PF }{ PF } \) .....(3)
(viii) We can apply the sign conventions for the various distances in the above equation
PA = - u, PA' = -v, PF = - f
(ix) All the three distances are negative as per sign convention, because they are measured to the left of the pole. Now, the equation (3) becomes,
\(\cfrac { -v }{ -u } =\cfrac { -v-\left( -f \right) }{ -f } \)
On further simplification,
\(\cfrac { v }{ u } =\cfrac { v-f }{ f } ;\cfrac { v }{ u } =\cfrac { v }{ f } -1 \)
Dividing either side with v,
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ u } =\cfrac { 1 }{ f } -\cfrac { 1 }{ v } \)
After rearranging,
\(\cfrac { 1 }{ v } +\cfrac { 1 }{ u } =\cfrac { 1 }{ f } \)
The above equation is called mirror equation.
Lateral magnification:
The lateral or transverse magnification is defined as the ratio of the height of the image to the height of the object. The height of the object and image are measured perpendicular to the principal axis.
Magnification (m) \(=\frac{\text { height of the image }\left(h^{\prime}\right)}{\text { height of the image }(h)} \)
\(m=\frac{h^{\prime}}{h} \) ....(1)
Applying proper sign conventions for equation,
\(\frac{A^{\prime} B^{\prime}}{A B}=\frac{P A^{\prime}}{P A} \)
\(A^{\prime} B^{\prime}=-h^{\prime}, A B=h, P A^{\prime}=-v, P A=-u \)
\(-\frac{h}{h}=\frac{-v}{-u} \)
On simplifying we get,
\(\mathrm{m}=\frac{\mathrm{h}^{\prime}}{\mathrm{h}}=-\frac{\mathrm{v}}{\mathrm{u}}\) ...(2)
Using mirror equation, we can further write the magnification as,
\(m=\frac{h^{\prime}}{h}=\frac{f-v}{f}=\frac{f}{f-u}\) ..(3)

Given: Velocity of electromagnetic wave is
c = 3 x 108 m/s.
Relative electric permittivity εr = 2
Relative magnetic permeability μr = 1
To find:
Velocity of Electromagnetic in a medium is
\(v=\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ \varepsilon }_{ r }.{ \mu }_{ 0 }{ \mu }_{ r } } } =\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ \mu }_{ 0 } } \times \sqrt { { \varepsilon }_{ r }{ \varepsilon }_{ r } } } \)
Solution:
\(\therefore v=\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { { \varepsilon }_{ 0 }{ \mu }_{ 0 } } } ,v=\frac { 1 }{ \sqrt { { \varepsilon }_{ r }{ \mu }_{ R } } } \)
\(\therefore v=\frac { 3\times { 10 }^{ 8 } }{ \sqrt { 2\times 1 } } =\frac { 3 }{ \sqrt { 2 } } \times 10^{ 8 }m/s\)
53.
(i) The energy E remains constant for varying values of x and v. Differentiating E with respect to time, we get \(\frac { dE }{ dt } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( 2v\frac { dv }{ dt } \right) +\frac { 1 }{ 2 } k\left( \frac { dx }{ dt } \right) =0\)
or m \(\frac { { d }^{ 2 }x }{ { dt }^{ 2 } } +kx=0\)
since \(\frac { dx }{ dt } =\nu \) and \(\frac { dv }{ dt } =\frac { { d }^{ 2 }x }{ d{ t }^{ 2 } } \)
(ii) This is the differential equation of the oscillations of the spring-mass system. The general solution of an equation is of the form
x(t) = Xm cos (ωt + Φ)
where X is the maximum value of x(t), ω the angular frequency, and Φ the phase constant.
(iii) Similarly, the electromagnetic energy of the LC system is given by
\(U=\frac { 1 }{ 2 } { Li }^{ 2 }+\frac { 1 }{ 2 } \left( \frac { 1 }{ C } \right) { q }^{ 2 }\) = constant
Differentiating U with respect to time, we get
\(\frac { dU }{ dt } =\frac { 1 }{ 2 } L\left( 2i\frac { di }{ dt } \right) +\frac { 1 }{ 2C } \left( 2q\frac { dq }{ dt } \right) =0\)
(or) \(\frac { { d }^{ 2 }q }{ { dt }^{ 2 } } +\frac { 1 }{ C } q=0\) ....(1)
since \(i=\frac { dq }{ dt } \frac { di }{ dt } =\frac { { d }^{ 2 }q }{ d{ t }^{ 2 } } \)
(iv) The general solution of equation (1) is of the form
q(t) = Qm cos (ωt + Φ)
(v) where Qm is the maximum value of q(t), ω the angular frequency, and Φ the phase constant.

According to Wheatstone bridge \(\cfrac { P }{ Q } =\cfrac { R }{ S } \)
\(\cfrac { R }{ S } =\cfrac { OA }{ OB } =\cfrac { 40 }{ 60 } \)
\(\cfrac { R }{ S } =\cfrac { OA }{ OB } =\cfrac { 40 }{ 60 } \)
If resistance 10 \(\Omega \) connected in series with R, the balance length is 60 cm.
\(\cfrac { R+10 }{ S } =\cfrac { 60 }{ 40 } \Rightarrow 2R+20=3S\)
From (1) & (2) \(\Rightarrow \left[ \cfrac { 4S }{ 3 } +20=3S \right] \)
45 + 60 = 95
55 = 60
\(S=\cfrac { 60 }{ 5 } =12\)
\(2\times \cfrac { 2S }{ 3 } +20=3S\)
\(s=12\Omega \)
From equation (1)
\(R=2\times \cfrac { 12 }{ 3 } =8\Omega \)
\(R=8\Omega \)

Length, I = 2a = 4cm = 4 x 10-2m
Angle, θ = 60°
torque ፔ = 4√3 Nm
Charge, Q = 8 x 10-9C
We know that, ፔ = pE sine [where p = Q x 2a]
ፔ = (Q x 2a)E sinθ
\(\tau =\frac { \partial }{ Q\times (2a)sin\theta } \)
\(=\frac { 4\sqrt { 3 } }{ 8\times { 10 }^{ -9 }\times 4\times { 10 }^{ -2 }\times { sin\quad 60 }^{ 0 } } \)
∴ Potential energy, U = -pE cosθ
= -Q(2a) x E x cosθ
\(=-8\times { 10 }^{ -9 }\times 4\times { 10 }^{ -2 }\times \frac { 4\sqrt { 3 } \times cos{ 60 }^{ 0 } }{ 8\times { 10 }^{ -9 }\times 4\times { 10 }^{ -2 }sin{ 60 }^{ 0 } } \)
\(U=\frac { -4\sqrt { 3 } }{ \sqrt { 3 } } =-4J\)
