Car ~ Turning OR Braking

A car driver going at some speed v engaged in phone call all of a sudden finds a wide wall at a distance d. Are hard brakes applied in panic or car suddenly turned in a circle of radius d more likely to avoid collision with the wall? Assume that the driving balance is not lost.

The first three spectral lines of H-atom ….

The first three spectral lines of H-atom in the Balmer series are given by $\lambda_1,\lambda_2,\lambda_3$ respectively. Considering the Bohr atomic model, the ratio of wave lengths of first and third spectral lines $\frac {\lambda_1}{\lambda_3}$ is approximately given by $’x’ \times 10^{-1}$.

The value of x, to the nearest integer is———–. Continue reading The first three spectral lines of H-atom ….

A capacitor of capacitance ‘C’, is connected ….

A capacitor of capacitance ‘C’, is connected across an AC source of voltage V, given by $V=V_0 sin \omega t $. The displacement current between the plates of the capacitor, would then be given by:

(1) $I_d = V_0 \omega C cos \omega t $
(2) $I_d = \frac {V_0}{\omega C} cos \omega t $
(3) $I_d = \frac {V_0}{\omega C} sin \omega t$
(4) $I_d = V_0 \omega C sin \omega t $ Continue reading A capacitor of capacitance ‘C’, is connected ….
