As shown in the figure, AB is a rod of length 30 cm and area of cross section 1.0 cm2 and thermal conductivity 336 SI units. The ends A and B are maintained at temperatures 20degreeC and 40degreeC , respectively. A point C of this rod is connected to a box D, containing ice at 0degreeC , through a highly conducting wire of negligible heat capacity. The rate at which ice melts in the box is (assume latent heat of fusion for ice Lf= 80 cal/g)

Fourier’s law states that the negative gradient of temperature and the time rate of heat transfer is proportional to the area at right angles of... View Article

The north pole of a bar magnet is rapidly introduced into a solenoid at one end (say a). which of the following statements correctly depicts the phenomenon taking placea) No induced emf is developed b) The end A of the solenoid behave as south pole c) The end A of the solenoid behave as north pole d) The end A of the solenoid acquires positive potential

Answer:(c) It happens in accordance with the Lenzs law. The end A becomes north pole, to oppose the motion of the magnet. Lenz’s law states... View Article
