6. Principle of a capacitor , capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor.

Principle of a capacitor:-Capacitor is a device for storing electric charges.
Consider an insulated conductor (Plate A) with a positive charge
q having potential l V . The capacitance
of A is C=q/V.
When another insulated metal plate B is brought near A, negative charges are induced on
the side of B near A. An equal amount of positive charge is induced on the other side of
B. The negative charge in B decreases the potential of A, and the capacitance of A is
increased.
21
If the plate B is earthed, positive charges get neutralized. Then the potential of A
decreases further, and capacitance of A is considerably increased.
The capacitance depends on the geometry of the conductors and nature of the
medium.

parallel metal plates X
and Y each of area A, separated by a distanced, having a surface charge

7. The principle , construction and working of Van de Graaff Generator.

It is used to produce electrostatic potential difference of the order of 10 7 V.
Principle : Electrostatic induction , action of points.
Construction :
A hollow metallic sphere A is
mounted on insulating pillars
A pulley B is mounted at the
centre of the sphere and another
pulley C is mounted near the
bottom. A belt made of silk
moves over the pulleys.
The pulley C is driven by an
electric motor.
Two comb shaped conductors D
and E having number of needles
are mounted near the pulleys.
104 volt is given to the comb D
by a power supply.
The comb E is connected to the
inner side of the sphere
23
Working :
Because of the high electric field near the comb D, the air gets ionised due to
action of points, the negative charges in air move towards the needles and
positive charges are repelled on towards the belt. These positive charges stick
to the belt, moves up and reaches near the comb E.
As a result of electrostatic induction, the comb E acquires negative charge

and the sphere acquires positive charge. The high electric field at the comb E
ionizes the air. Hence, negative charges are repelled to the belt, neutralizes the
positive charge on the belt b efore t he b elt p asses o ver t he p ulley. H ence
t he d escending b elt will b e l eft u ncharged.
The machine, continuously transfers the positive charge to the sphere. After
this stage no more charge can be placed on the sphere, it starts leaking to the
surrounding due to ionization of the air.
The leakage of charge from the sphere can be reduced by enclosing it in a

gas filled steel chamber at a very high pressure.
The high voltage produced in this generator can be used to accelerate positive
ions (protons, deuterons) for the purpose of nuclear disintegration.

1. Explanation of binding energy curve.
BE/A sharply with mass number A upto20. It increases slowly after
A=20.ForA<20, there exists recurrence of peaks corresponding to those
nuclei, whose mass numbers are multiples of four and they contain not
only equal but also even number of protons and neutrons.
becomes almost flat for mass number between 40 and 120.
36
The BE/A8.8 MeV at A=56, (26Fe56). Hence, iron nucleus is the most stable.
The average B.E./A value is about 8.5 MeV for nuclei having mass number ranging
between 40 and 120. These elements are comparatively more stable and non radio
active.
For higher mass numbers the curve drops slowly and the BE/A is
about 7.6 MeV for uranium. Hence, they are unstable and radioactive.
The lesser amount of binding energy for lighter and heavier nuclei explains nuclear
fusion and fission respectively.

Biological hazards of nuclear radiations
The biological effects of nuclear radiation can be divided into three groups
(i)Short term recoverable effects
(ii)long term irrecoverable effect sand
(iii)genetic effect.
The extent to which the human organism is damaged depends upon (i) the dose and
the rate at which the radiation is given and (ii)the part of the body exposed to it.
Short term recoverable effects :
Smaller doses of radiation exposure produce skin disorder and loss of hair.
Long term irrecoverable effects :If the exposure is 100 R*, it may cause diseases like leukemia (death of red blood
corpuscle in the blood) or cancer. When it U 600 R, ultimately it causes death. Safe
38
limit is about 250 milli roentgen per week.

Genetic effect :The radiations cause injury to genes in the reproductive cells and gives rise
to mutations which pass on from generation to generation.

Constructions :- An atom bomb consists of two hemispheres of U235 (or 94Pu239),

Cosmic ray showers

The cascade theory shows that the shower production involves two
processes. (i) radio active collision and (ii) pair production.
An energetic electron (e-) or positron (e+)present in cosmic rays loses energy,
when it collides with the nuclei of atoms in earths atmosphere. This energy loss
appears as high energy photon.
This photon interacts with an atomic nucleus and produce an electron (e-)
positron (e+) pair.
The electron and positron, produce more photons on interaction with nuclei,
which are further capable of bringing about pair production.
The multiplication will continue until the initial energy becomes divided and
the individual energy of the particles fall below the critical energy.

1. Bainbridge mass spectrometer Determination of isotopic masses of nuclei
Bainbridge
mass spectrometer is an instrument used for the accurate
determination of atomic masses.
Construction :
A beam of positive ions produced in a discharge tube is collimated in total fine
beam by two narrow slits S1 and S2.
This fine beam enters into a velocity selector.
The velocity selector allows the ions of a particular velocity of to come out of it.
40
Working :The electric field (E) and magnetic field (B) are perpendicular to each other.
They are adjusted that the deflection so that the ions do not suffer any deflection
within the velocity selector.
qE=Bqv
v=E/B
Ions having this velocity v, pass out of the velocity selector and then through
the slit S3, to enter the evacuated chamber D.
These positive ions are subjected to another strong uniform magnetic field of
induction B at right angles to the plane of the paper acting in wards.
These ions are deflected along circular path of radius R and strike the
photographic plate.
The force due to magnetic field Bqv provides the centripetal force.
B qv=mv2/R
m= B qR/v
Substituting v=E/B
m=B B qR/E
Ions with different masses trace semi-circular paths of different radii and produce
dark lines on the plate.
The distance between the opening of the chamber and the position of the dark line
gives the diameter 2 R.
Since q, B, B, E and R are known, the mass of the positive ions
and hence isotopic masses can be calculated.
2. Obtain an expression to deduce the amount of the radioactive substance present at

highly penetrating radiation was emitted. Which were capable of traversing through
at hick layer of lead and was unaffected by electric and magnetic fields.
The radiation was thought to be rays.

4. GeigerMuller counter
Principle :When nuclear radiations pass through gas, ionization is produced.
Construction:tube with glass envelope (C) acts as the cathode.
A metal
A fine tungsten wire (W) along the axis of the tube acts as anode.
The tube is filled with an inert gas like argon at a low pressure.
One end is fitted with a thin mica sheet and this end acts as a window through which
radiations enter the tube.
A high potential difference of about 1000 V is applied between the electrodes
through a high resistance R of about 100 mega ohm.
Operation:
A ionizing radiation enters the counter.
Primary ionisation takes place and a few ions are produced.
Due to the high potential difference and they cause further ionisation
These ions are multiplied by further collisions.

An avalanche of electrons is produced and this avalanche of electrons on
reaching the anode generates a current pulse.
This current when passing through R develops a potential difference,
amplified by electronic circuits and is used to operate an electronic counter.
The counts in the counter is directly
proportional to the intensity of the
ionizing radiation.
The ionisation of the gas is
independent of the type of the incident
radiation.
Wilson cloud chamber detects the type
of particle.

7. Cosmic Rays Latitude effect , Altitude effect .
Cosmic Rays:
The ionising radiation many times stronger than -rays entering the earth from
all the directions from cosmic or inter stellar space is known as cosmic rays.
Latitude effect :
The variation of cosmic ray intensity with geo magnetic latitude is known as
latitude effect.
Intensity is maximum at the poles (=900), minimum at the equator(=0) and
constant between latitudes of 420 and 900.
The decrease in cosmic ray intensity at the earths equator is be due to the earths
magnetic field.
The charged particles approaching poles travel almost along the direction of the
magnetic lines of force and hence maximum intensity at poles.
The charged particles approaching equator have to travel in a perpendicular
direction to the field and hence minimum intensity at the equator.
45
Altitude effect :
The study of variation of cosmic ray intensity (I) with altitude (h) is known as altitude
effect.
The intensity increases with altitude and reaches a maximum at a height of about 20 km.
Above this height there is a fall in intensity.

3. Eddy currents - methods to reduce , applications

When a mass of metal moves in a magnetic field or when the magnetic field through a
stationary mass of metal is altered, induced current is produced in the metal. This induced
current flows in the metal hence this current is called eddy current.
Methods to reduce ;i) using thin laminated sheets instead of solid metal.
ii) holes drilled in the plates
Applications of Eddy current :
(i)Dead beat galvanometer
When current is passed through a galvanometer the coil
oscillates.
Eddy currents are set up in the metallic frame, which opposes

further oscillations of the coil.
The oscillations of the coil die out instantaneously, the

galvanometer is called dead beat galvanometer.
(ii)Induction furnace
The material to be melted is placed in a varying magnetic field
of high frequency.
A strong eddy current is developed inside the metal. Due to the

heating effect of the current, the metal melts.
(iii) Induction motors
Eddy currents are produced in a metallic cylinder called rotor,

when it is placed in a rotating magnetic field.
75
The eddy current initially tries to decrease the relative motion

between the cylinder and the rotating magnetic field and metallic
cylinder is set in to rotation.
These motors are used in fans.
(iv)Electrom agnetic brakes
The drum rotates along with the wheel when the train is in
motion.
When the brake is applied, a strong magnetic field is developed
and eddy currents are produced in the drum .
The eddy current oppose the motion of the drum and the train
comes to rest.
(v)Speedometer
A magnet rotates inside an aluminium cylinder (drum)

according to the speed of the vehicle.
Eddy currents produced in the drum makes it deflected through a certain angle .
A pointer attached to the drum move so vera
Calibrated scale which indicates the speed of the vehicle.

7. What is nuclear fusion reaction?

When lighter nuclei moving at a high speed are fused together to form a
heavy nucleus, the process is called nuclear fusion.
In fusion reaction, the mass of heaver nucleus formed less than the total mass
of two lighter nuclei. Thus, just like a fission reaction, the source of energy in a fusion
reaction is also the disappearance of mass, which gets converted into energy.
Nuclear fusion reaction takes place at very high temperature of about 108K.
Therefore, this reaction is called thermonuclear reaction.
