Study Notes
Resultant of Two Vectors
- When the resultant of two vectors is equal to the magnitude of either vector, the angle between the vectors is 120 degrees.
- This can be visualized using the parallelogram law of vector addition.
Rectangular Components of a Vector
- The angle between the rectangular components of a vector is always 90 degrees.
- This is because the components are perpendicular to each other.
Maximum Resultant of Two Forces
- The maximum value of the resultant of two forces is obtained when they act in the same direction.
- Therefore, the maximum resultant of 10N and 8N forces is 18N.
Velocity-Time Graph
- A uniform acceleration is represented by a velocity-time graph with a constant slope (tanθ = 1).
Acceleration and Force
- Acceleration is always produced in the direction of the net force acting on an object.
Work Done
- No work is done when an object is held stationary, regardless of the time or height.
Conservative Field
- A conservative field is a field where the work done in moving an object from one point to another is independent of the path taken.
Angular Speed of Earth's Rotation
- The angular speed of the Earth's daily rotation is π/12 radians per hour.
Spring Constant in Series
- When three identical springs with spring constant 'k' are connected in series, the resultant spring constant becomes k/3.
Simple Pendulum at Earth's Center
- At the center of the Earth, a simple pendulum will not move due to the absence of gravitational force.
Transverse Waves
- Transverse waves cannot pass through liquids.
Transmission of Longitudinal and Transverse Waves
- Solids can transmit both longitudinal and transverse waves.
Speed of Photons
- The speed of a photon depends on its frequency and is independent of its wavelength and mass.
Nature of Light Waves
- Polarization of light proves that light waves are transverse in nature.
Michelson's Method
- In Michelson's method, the rotating mirror used has 8 faces.
Lines of Electric Force
- Lines of electric force never intersect each other. This is because at the point of intersection, two directions for the electric field would exist, which is not possible.
Energy Gained by a Charged Particle
- The energy gained by a particle carrying a charge of 2e falling through a potential difference of 3V is 9.613 × 10^-19 J.
Drift Velocity
- The drift velocity of electrons in a conductor is typically in the range of mm/s or 0.01 mm/s.
Minimum Resistance
- The resistance of three resistors is minimum when connected in parallel.
Permeability
- The symbol µ represents permeability, which is the ability of a material to support the formation of a magnetic field within it.
Synchronization of CRO
- Synchronization of a Cathode Ray Oscilloscope (CRO) is used to synchronize the frequency of the waveform being displayed.
Lenz's Law
- Lenz's law is in accordance with the law of conservation of energy.
Conduction Band
- The conduction band is formed by anti-bonding molecular orbitals.
P-type Semiconductor
- P-type semiconductors are formed by adding trivalent impurities to a pure semiconductor.
Einstein's Nobel Prize
- Albert Einstein received his Nobel Prize in Physics for the photoelectric effect, not his theories of relativity.
Resistance of an OP-amp
- The resistance between the positive and negative terminals of an operational amplifier (OP-amp) is very large, typically in the range of several mega ohms.
Earth as a Frame of Reference
- The Earth is, strictly speaking, an accelerated frame of reference due to its rotation and revolution around the Sun.
Relativistic Nature of Time
- Time is relative, meaning it is not absolute and varies depending on the observer's motion.
Duality of Light
- Light exhibits both wave and particle properties depending on the context of its interaction.
Inhalation of Matter
- Inhalation of matter produces photons.
Unaffected Radiations
- Gamma rays are not affected by electric and magnetic fields.
