    Study Notes

    Heat and Temperature

    • Mass of the substance is 10g, with a heat supply of 120J.
    • Rise in temperature is 100°C.
    • Heat capacity of the substance is 12 J/g.
    • Specific heat capacity of the substance is 1.2 J/gK.
    • Evaluating statements reveals that both A and B are correct.

    Electricity and Magnetism

    • Resistivity values: Gold at 2.1x10^-8 ohm m and Platinum at 10.5x10^-8 ohm m.
    • Statement A: 5 metres of platinum wire has the same resistance as 1 metre of gold wire.
    • Statement B: Gold wire of 1cm radius has the same resistance as platinum wire of 5cm radius.
    • Evaluating these statements may reveal only one or both to be correct.

    Circuit Analysis

    • A switch can make and break a circuit when connected to the neutral wire.
    • Neutral wire is at zero potential.
    • Evaluation of Assertion and Reason could show if both are true and if reason explains assertion.

    Magnetism in Rods

    • Rods A, B, C, and D can attract each other based on their connections to a battery.
    • Conditions depend on which rods are connected to the battery's positive or negative terminals.

    Modern Physics

    • An equation balancing question may require understanding of chemical equations and their stoichiometry.

    Sound Waves

    • Tuning forks L, M, and N produce loud sound above varying water levels in cylinders.
    • Correct combinations of forks and cylinders correlate with loudness of sound produced.

    Thermal Capacities

    • For metals A, B, and C with heat applied, their masses in the ratio 2:3:4 yield resultant thermal capacities in the same ratio.
    • If the temperature rise is the same, thermal capacities mirror masses.

    Resistivity of Conductors

    • Different copper conductors with various diameters and lengths lead to varying resistances.
    • Understanding how geometry affects resistance is essential.

    Mechanical Advantage and Efficiency

    • Analysis of a movable pulley's efficiency, effort, and mechanical advantage is influenced by lubrication.
    • Changes in calculations post-lubrication indicate changes in performance metrics.

    Light and Refraction

    • For a glass block, the angle of incidence (i) versus angle of refraction (r) follows a straight line.
    • This behavior adheres to Snell's law, demonstrating the predictable nature of refraction.

    Wave Characteristics

    • Speed of UV radiation is greater than that of microwaves when considering transmission in a vacuum or medium.
    • Volume reduction in sound corresponds to changes in wave characteristics, affecting amplitude rather than frequency or wavelength.
