+ Current 101 Heating and Chemical EffectAof – – + 60 – + Joules Heating. E3 When some potential difference V is applied across a resistance R then the work done by the electric field on charge q to flow through the circuit in time t will be W = qV = Vit = i2Rt R i V 2t Joule. B A R This work appears as thermal energy in the resistor. joules heating. W Vit i 2 Rt V 2t Cal. This relation is called 4 2 4 2 4 2R J ID Heat produced by the resistance R is H Some important relations for solving objective questions are as follow : U Condition If R and t are constant D YG H i 2 and H V 2 If i and t are constant (series Graph H i (or V) H grouping) HR U If V and t are constant (Parallel grouping) H R H 1 R ST If V, i and R constant R H Ht t Electric Power. The rate at which electrical energy is dissipated into other forms of energy is called W V2 Vi i 2 R electrical power i.e. P t R 40W 220V (1) Units : It’s S.I. unit is Joule/sec or Watt Bigger S.I. units are KW, MW and HP, remember 1 HP = 746 Watt (2) Rated values : On electrical appliances (Bulbs, Heater ……. etc.) 102 Heating and Chemical Effect of Current Wattage, voltage, ……. etc. are printed called rated values e.g. If suppose we have a bulb of 40 W, 220 V then rated power (PR) = 40 W while rated voltage (VR) = 220 V. It means that on operating the bulb at 220 volt, the power dissipated will be 40 W or in other words 40 J of electrical energy will be converted into heat and light per second. 60 (3) Resistance of electrical appliance : If variation of resistance with temperature is neglected then resistance of any electrical appliance can be calculated by rated power and rated V2 220 220 voltage i.e. by using R R e.g. Resistance of 100 W, 220 volt bulb is R 484 PR 100 so Pconsumed = V2 Pconsumed (Brightness ) A2 VR PR. If VA < . PR VR then Pconsumed V A2 R also ID VR E3 (4) Power consumed (illumination) : An electrical appliance (Bulb, heater, …. etc.) consume rated power (PR) only if applied voltage (VA) is equal to rated voltage (VR) i.e. If VA = we have VR2 R PR so 2 U 110 e.g. If 100 W, 220 V bulb operates on 110 volt supply then Pconsumed 100 25 W 220 D YG Note : If VA < VR then % drop in output power (PR Pconsumed ) 100 PR For the series combination of bulbs, current through them will be same so they will consume power in the ratio of resistance i.e., P R {By P = i2R) while if they are connected in parallel i.e. V is constant so power consumed by them is in the reverse 1 ratio of their resistance i.e. P . R ST U (5) Thickness of filament of bulb : We know that resistance of filament of bulb is given by V2 1 l R R , also R , hence we can say that i.e. If rated power of a bulb is A PR ( Thickness ) PR R A more, thickness of it’s filament is also more and it’s resistance will be less. V A2 1 P If applied voltage is constant then P(consumed ) (By ). Hence if different bulbs R R 1 (electrical appliance) operated at same voltage supply then Pconsumed P R thickness R Note : Different bulbs 25W 220V Resistance Thickness of filament Brightness 100 W 220V 1000 W 220V R25 > R100 > R1000 t1000 > t100 > t40 B1000 > B100 > B25 Heating and Chemical Effect of Current 103 (6) Long distance power transmission : When power is transmitted through a power line of resistance R, power-loss will be i 2 R Now if the power P is transmitted at voltage V Power loss P Vi i.e. i (P / V ) So, P2 R V2 60 Now as for a given power and line, P and R are constant so Power loss (1 / V 2 ) So if power is transmitted at high voltage, power loss will be small and vice-versa. e.g., E3 power loss at 22 kV is 10–4 times than at 220 V. This is why long distance power transmission is carried out at high voltage. (7) Time taken by heater to boil the water : We know that heat required to raise the temperature of any substance of mass m and specific heat S is H = m.S. Here heat produced by the heater = Heat required to raise the temp. of water. for m kg water t t J (m.S. ) p ID p t = J m.S. {J = 4.18 or 4.2 J/cal) 4180 ( or 4200 ) m p U i.e. D YG Note : If quantity of water is given n litre then t {S = 1000 cal/kgoC) 4180 (4200 ) n p Electricity Consumption. (1) The price of electricity consumed is calculated on the basis of electrical energy and not on the basis of electrical power. (2) The unit Joule for energy is very small hence a big practical unit is considered known as kilowatt hour (KWH) or board of trade unit (B.T.U.) or simple unit. U (3) 1 KWH or 1 unit is the quantity of electrical energy which dissipates in one hour in an ST electrical circuit when the electrical power in the circuit is 1 KW thus 1 KW = 1000 W 3600 sec = 3.6 106 J.

ST A K Reason : Total resistance becomes half. V A B Concepts When a heavy current appliance such us motor, heater or geyser is switched on, it will draw a heavy current from the source so that terminal voltage of source decreases. Hence power consumed by the bulb decreases, so the light of bulb becomes less. r ~ Heater K Heating and Chemical Effect of Current 109 If the source is ideal i.e. r = 0, there will be no change in the brightness of the bulb. 60 Example s An electric kettle has two heating coils.

Initially there were 40 bulbs in series so equivalent R resistance was 40 R, finally 39 bulbs are in series so equivalent resistance becomes 39 R. Since resistance decreases so illumination increases with 39 bulbs. Solution : (b) Illumination = PConsumed Example: 22 Two bulbs of 100 watt and 200 watt, rated at 220 volts are connected in series.

Seebeck Effect. (1) Definition : When the two junctions of a thermo couple are maintained at different U temperatures, then a current starts flowing through the loop known as thermo electric current. The potential difference between the junctions is called thermo electric emf which is of the order of a few micro-volts per degree temperature difference (V/oC). D YG i Fe Hot Cu Cold G Cu ST U (2) Origin of thermo emf : The density of free electrons in a metal is generally different from the density of free electrons in another metal. When a metal is brought into intimate contact (say by soldering) with other metal, the electrons tend to diffuse from one metal to another, so as to equalise the electron densities. As an illustration, when copper is brought into intimate contact with iron, the electrons diffuse from iron to copper. But this diffusion cannot go on continuously because due to diffusion, the potential of copper decreases and the potential of iron increases. In other words, iron becomes positive with respect to copper. This is what stops further diffusion. In the case of thermocouple whose junctions are at the same temperature, the emf’s at the junctions will be equal in magnitude but opposite in direction. So, the net emf for the whole of thermocouple will be zero. Let us now consider the case when the temperature of one junction of the thermocouple is raised. Raising the temperature of one junction will affect the electron density in the two metals differently. Moreover, the transfer of electrons at the junction will be easier than the transfer of electrons at the cold junction. Due to both these reasons, the emf’s at the two junctions will be different. This produces a net emf in the thermocouple. This emf is known as Seebeck emf. Heating and Chemical Effect of Current 113 (3) Seebeck series : The magnitude and direction of thermo emf in a thermocouple depends not only on the temperature difference between the hot and cold junctions but also on the nature of metals constituting the thermo couple. Seebeck arranged different metals in the decreasing order of their electron density. Some of the metals forming the series are as below. 60 Sb, Fe, Ag, Au, Sn, Pb, Cu, Pt, Ni, Bi E3 (i) About magnitude thermo emf : Thermo electric emf is directly proportional to the distance between the two metals in series. Farther the metals in the series forming the thermo couple greater is the thermo emf. Thus maximum thermo emf is obtained for Sb-Bi thermo couple. (ii) Direction of thermo electric current : If a metal occurring earlier in the series is ID termed as A and the metal occurring later in the series is termed as B, then the rule for the direction of conventional current in thermocouple made of elements A and B is ABC. That is, at the cold junction current will flow from A to B. e.g. in Fe-Cu thermocouple, at the cold junction current flows from A to B that is from Fe to Cu. At the hot junction, the current flows from Cu to Fe. This may be remembered easily by the hot coffee. U (4) Law of thermoelectricity (i) Law of successive temperature : If initially temperature limits of the cold and the hot D YG junction are t1 and t2, say the thermo emf is E tt12. When the temperature limits are t2 and t3, then say the thermo emf is E tt23 then E tt12 E tt23 E tt13 where E tt13 is the thermo emf when the temperature limits are E tt13 (ii) Law of intermediate metals : Let A, B and C be the three metals of Seebeck series, where B lies between A and C. According to this law, E AB E BC E CA U When tin is used as a soldering metal in Fe-Cu thermocouple then at the junction, two different thermo couples are being formed. One is between iron and tin and the other is between tin and copper, as shown in figure (i) ST Now iron is thermoelectrically more positive as compared to tin and tin is more positive with respect to copper (the element which occurs earlier in the seebeck series gets positively charged on losing the electrons at the junction), so as clear from the figure below, the thermo emf’s of both the thermocouples shown in the figure (ii) are additive Cu Sn Cu E Sn Sn E Fe Fe (i) (ii ) 114 Heating and Chemical Effect of Current If soldering metal in a thermocouple is an intermediate metal in the series then thermo emf will not be affected. 60 It is also clear from the above discussions that if the soldering metal does not lie between two metals (in Seebeck series) of thermocouple then the resultant emf will be subtractive. (5) Effect of temperature on thermo emf : In a thermocouple as the temperature of the E3 hot junction increases keeping the cold junction at constant temperature (say 0 oC). The thermo emf increases till it becomes maximum at a certain temperature. (i) Thermo electric emf is given by the equation E t 1 t2 2 ID where and are thermo electric constant having units are volt/oC and volt/oC2 respectively (t = temperature of hot junction). U (ii) The temperature of hot junction at which thermo emf becomes maximum is called neutral temperature (tn). Neutral temperature is constant for a thermo couple (e.g. for Cu-Fe, tn = 270oC) (iii) Neutral temperature is independent of the temperature of cold junction. D YG (iv) If temperature of hot junction increases beyond neutral temperature, thermo emf start decreasing and at a particular temperature it becomes zero, on heating slightly further, the direction of emf is reversed. This temperature of hot junction is called temperature of inversion (ti).

It is also given by the slope of parabolic curve representing the variation of thermo emf with temperature of the hot junction, as discussed in previous section. It is observed from the above graph that as temperature of hot junction increases from that of the cold junction to the neutral junction, though the thermo emf is increasing but the slope of the graph, that is the rate of change of thermo emf with temperature of hot junction is Heating and Chemical Effect of Current 115 decreasing. Note that, at the neutral temperature, the thermo emf is maximum but the slope i.e. the thermoelectric power is zero. 60 dE The thermo electric power is also called Seebeck coefficient. Differentiating both dt dE d 1 sides of the equation of thermo emf with respect to t, we have P ( t t 2 ) dt dt 2 P t The equation of the thermo electric power is of the type y mx c, so the graph of thermo E3 electric power is as shown below. P ID Slope t U Peltier Effect. D YG (1) If a current is passed through a junction of two different metals, the heat is either evolved or absorbed at the junction. This effect is known as Peltier effect. It is the reverse of Seebeck effect. Before going into the detailed explanation, we will first revise an important concept about absorption and evolution of energy when electric charge is made to pass through two points having some potential difference. When a positive charge flows from high potential to low potential, it releases energy and when positive charge flows from low potential to high potential it absorbs energy. (2) Explanation of Peltier effect : In the light of above statement it can be seen that if U current is made to flow in Fe-Cu thermocouple by connecting it to a battery then the junction at which current goes from Fe to Cu becomes hot because here positive charge is flowing from high ST potential to low potential, so energy is released. Remember that, in iron-copper thermocouple, the polarity of the contact potential at each junction is such iron is at higher potential. Similarly the junction where current flows from Cu to Fe becomes colder because at this junction current is flowing from negative to positive potential, so energy is absorbed. Thus it is observed that on application of potential difference in a thermocouple temperature difference is automatically created. The amount of heat absorbed at cold junction is equal to the heat released at hot junction. – + Cu – + Fe 116 Heating and Chemical Effect of Current (3) Peltier co-efficient () : Heat absorbed or liberated at the junction is directly proportional to the charge passing through the junction i.e. H Q H = Q ; where is called Peltier co-efficient. It’s unit is J/C or volt. (i) If Q = 1 then H i.e. Peltier co-efficient of a junction is defined as heat absorbed or 60 liberated at the junction when a unit quantity of electric charge flows across the junction (H is also known as Peltier emf). (ii) Relation between and absolute temperature : Suppose the temperature of the cold E3 junction is T and that of the hot junction is T + dT and let dE be the thermo emf produced, then dE dE it is found that T T S ; where T is in Kelvin and P Seebeck coefficient S dT dT ID (iii) -depends on : (a) Temperature of junction (b) Difference in electron density of the two metal used in thermocouple. (iv) Comparison between Joule and Peltier effect Joules effect Peltier’s Effect (a) In peltier’s effect energy is released at one junction and absorbed at the other junction. U (a) In joule’s effect energy is only released. (b) Heat produced depends upon i1, junction at which the heat is released or absorbed changes when the direction of current changes. (c) It is identically produced by ac or dc (c) In Peltier’s effect if ac is passed, at the U D YG (b) Heat produced depends upon i2, so, heat is always released, whether i is positive or negative. ST (d) Joules effect is irreversible. (e) In Joule’s effect heat is released throughout the length of wire. same junction heat is released when current flows in one direction and absorbed when the direction of current reverses. The net amount of heat released or absorbed at a junction is therefore zero. Thus, Peltier’s effect cannot be observed with ac. (d) Peltier effect is reversible, complimentary is Seebeck effect. its (e) In this effect heat is released or absorbed only at the junctions. Thomson’s Effect. (1) Definition : In Thomson’s effect we deal with only metallic rod and not with thermocouple as in Peltiers effect and Seebeck’s effect. (That’s why sometimes it is known as homogeneous thermo electric effect. When a current flows thorough an unequally heated metal, there is an absorption or evolution of heat in the body of the metal. This is Thomson’s effect. (2) Types of Thomson’s effect Heating and Chemical Effect of Current 117 (i) Positive Thomson’s effect In positive Thomson’s effect it is found that hot end is at high potential and cold end is at low potential. e.g. Cu, Sn, Ag, Sb (ii) 60 Element’s occurring before lead in Seebeck series are called thermoelectrically negative but this does not mean that their Thompson effect is negative. Negative Thomson’s effect E3 In the elements which show negative Thomson’s effect, it is found that the hot end is at low potential and the cold end is at higher potential e.g. Fe, Co, Bi (3) Thomson’s co-efficient : In Thomson’s effect it is found that heat released or absorbed is proportional to Q i.e. H Q H σQ Δθ where = Thomson’s coefficient. It’s unit is Joule/coulomboC or volt/oC and = temperature difference. ID (i) If Q = 1 and = 1 then σ H so the amount of heat energy absorbed or evolved per second between two points of a conductor having a unit temperature difference, when a unit current is passed is known as Thomson’s co-efficient for the material of a conductor. constant dS dt dE dT so d2E also dT 2 dS d 2 E dS hence T T ; where = Thermo electric 2 dT dT dT D YG Seebeck co-efficient S U (ii) It can be proved that Thomson co-efficient of the material of conductor T Application of Thermo Electric Effect. (1) To measure temperature : A thermocouple is used to measure very high (2000 oC) as well as very low (– 200oC) temperature in industries and laboratories. The thermocouple used to measure very high temperature is called pyrometer. U (2) To detect heat radiation : A thermopile is a sensitive instrument used for detection of heat radiation and measurement of their intensity. It is based upon Seebeck effect. Sb Heat radiations ST A thermopile consists of a number of thermocouples of Sb-Bi, all connected in series. T1 G Bi T2 This instrument is so sensitive that it can detect heat radiations from a match stick lighted at a distance of 50 metres from the thermopile. 118 Heating and Chemical Effect of Current (3) Thermoelectric refrigerator : The working of thermo-electric refrigerator is based on Peltier effect. According to Peltier effect, if current is passed through a thermocouple, heat is absorbed at one junction and is evolved at the other junction of the thermocouple. If on the whole, the heat is absorbed, then the thermocouple acts as thermoelectric refrigerator. It’s 60 efficiency is small in comparison to conventional refrigerator. (4) Thermoelectric generator : Thermocouple can be used to generate electric power using Seebeck effect in remote areas. It can be achieved by heating one junction in a flame of kerosene oil lamp and keeping the other junction at room or atmospheric temperature. The Concepts E3 thermo emf so developed is used to operate radio receivers or even radio transmitters. The emf developed in a thermo couple is rather small i.e. of the order of a few V/oC. A current is passed in a thermocouple formed with dissimilar metals whose one junction is heated and other is cooled. If 1 and 2 are the Peltier co-efficient of cold and hot junction respectively then the net emf across the junction is proportional to (2 – 1) ID The smallest temperature difference that can be measured with a combination of a thermocouple of thermo e.m.f. 30 V per degree and a galvanometer of 50 ohm resistance capable of measuring a minimum current of 3 × 10–7 ampere is D YG Example: 26 U Example s (a) 0.5 degree (b) 1.0 degree (c) 1.5 degree (d) 2.0 degree Solution : (a) By using E = a i R = a 3 10 Example: 27 The expression for thermo e.m.f. in a thermocouple is given by the relation E 40 20 , where is the temperature difference of two junctions.

E3 When current is passed through an electrolyte, it dissociates into positive and negative ions. This is called chemical effect of current. Important Terms Related to Chemical Effect. These liquids which do not allow current to pass through them are called insulators (e.g. vegetable oils, distilled water etc.) while the liquids which allows the current to pass through them but do not dissociates into ions are called good conductors (e.g. Hg etc.) U Note : ID (1) Electrolytes : The liquids which allows the current to pass through them and also dissociates into ions on passing current through them are called electrolytes e.g. solutions of salts, acids and bases in water, etc. Solutions of cane sugar, glycerin, alcohol etc. are examples of non-electrolytes. D YG (2) Electrolysis : The process of decomposition of electrolyte solution into ions on passing the current through it is called electrolysis. Electric current Electroly te Positive ions (called cations) Decompose d into Negative ions (called Anions) Note : Practical applications of electrolysis are Electrotyping, extraction of metals from the U ores, Purification of metals, Manufacture of chemicals, Production of O2 and H2, Medical applications and electroplating. ST Electroplating : It is a process of depositing a thin layer of one metal over another metal by the method of electrolysis. The articles of cheap metals are coated with precious metals like silver and gold to make their look more attractive. The article to be electroplated is made the cathode and the metal to be deposited in made the anode. A soluble salt of the precious metal is taken as the electrolyte. (If gold is to be coated then auric chloride is used as electrolyte). (3) Electrodes : Two metal plates which are partially dipped in the electrolyte for passing the current through the electrolyte. Anode : Connected to positive terminal of battery Cathode : Connected to negative terminal of battery (4) Voltameter : The vessel in which the electrolysis is carried out is called a voltameter. It contains two electrodes and electrolyte. It is also known as electrolytic cell. Anode + Cathod – e 60 Heating and Chemical Effect of Current 121 E3 (5) Equivalent weight : The ratio of the atomic weight of an element to its valency is defined as it’s equivalent weight. (6) Types of voltameter : Voltameter is divided mainly in following types Ag voltameter Water voltameter In copper voltameter, electrolyte is solution of copper e.g. CuSO4, CuCl2, Cu(NO3)2 etc. Cathode may be of any material, but anode In silver voltameter electrolyte is a solution of silver, e.g. AgNO3. Cathode may be of any metal but anode must be of silver. The dissociation In water voltameter the electrolyte used is acidic water, because it is much more conducting than that of pure water. So acid CH2SO4 must be of copper. reaction is as follows increases the concentration of free ions in the solution. The electrodes are made of platinum, because it does not dissolve into electrolyte and does not react with the CuSO4 Cu++ + SO4– – Cu++ moves towards cathode and takes 2 electron to become neutral cathode and deposited on Cu++ + 2e Cu U SO4– – moves towards anode and looses 2 electrons their. ST Copper is deposited on the cathode and an equivalent amount of copper is lost by the anode, but the concentration Rh of copper sulphate solution remains the same. In this process, A two C electrons per Cu reaction are active and valence plat Cu two. solution es is also of copper atom Cu lost U AgNO3 Ag+ + NO3– The silver dissolves from the anode gets deposited on the cathode. During this process, the concentration of the electrolyte remains unchanged. In this process one electron per reaction is active and valence of Ag atom is also one.

When current flows through the electrolyte, hydrogen gas is collected in the tube placed over the cathode (– ve electrode) and oxygen is collected in the tube placed over the anode (+ve electrode). Hydrogen and oxygen are O2 H2 liberated in the proportional in which they are found in water i.e. the volume ratio of hydrogen and oxygen is 2 : 1. + – – A + Rh 60 122 Heating and Chemical Effect of Current Faraday’s Law of Electrolysis. (1) First law : It states that the mass of substance deposited at the cathode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the quantity of electricity (total charge) passed through E3 the electrolyte. Let m be the mass of the substance liberated, when a charge q is passed through the electrolyte. Then, according to the Faraday’s first law of electrolysis m q or m zq , where the ID constant of proportionality z is called electrochemical equivalent (E.C.E.) of the substance. If a constant current i is passed through the electrolyte for time t, then the total charge passing through the electrolyte is given by q i t U Therefore we have m zit. If q = 1 coulomb, then we have m = z 1 or z = m D YG Hence, the electrochemical equivalent of substance may be defined as the mass of its substance deposited at the cathode, when one coulomb of charge passes through the electrolyte. S.I. unit of electrochemical equivalent of a substance is kilogram coulomb–1 (kg-C–1). (2) Second law : If same quantity of electricity is passed through different electrolytes, masses of the substance deposited at the respective cathodes are directly proportional to their chemical equivalents. Let m be the mass of the ions of a substance liberated, whose chemical equivalent is E. U Then, according to Faraday’s of electrolysis, m E or m = constant E or Note Chemical equivalent E also known as equivalent weight in gm i.e. Atomic mass ( A) Valance (V ) ST E : m constant E (3) Relation between chemical equivalent and electrochemical equivalent : Suppose that on passing same amount of electricity q through two different electrolytes, masses of the two substances liberated are m1 and m2. If E1 and E2 are their chemical equivalents, then from m E Faraday’s second law, we have 1 1 m2 E2 Further, if z1 and z2 are the respective electrochemical equivalents of the two substances, m1 z then from Faraday’s first law, we have m 1 z 1 q and m 2 z 2 q 1 m2 z2 Heating and Chemical Effect of Current 123 So from above equation z1 E 1 z2 E2 z 2 z1 zE E2 E1 (4) Faraday constant : As we discussed above E z E Fz As z m E and z Q F E A F VF 60 ‘F’ is proportionality constant called Faraday’s constant. z E m hence if Q = 1 Faraday then E m i.e. If F Q (from I law) so electricity supplied to a voltameter is 1 Faraday then amount of substance liberated or electricity is required. Note : 1 Faraday = 96500 C Also F = Ne given mass valency atomic mass ID Remember Number of gm equivalent E3 deposited is (in gm) equal to the chemical equivalent. e.g. to deposit 16 gm O2; 2 Faraday {where N = Avogrado number) U Electro Chemical Cell.

Local action : It arises due to the presence of impurities of iron, carbon etc. on the surface of commercial Zn rod used as an electrode. The particles of these impurities and Zn in contact with sulphuric acid form minute voltaic cell in which small local electric currents are set up resulting in the wastage of Zn even when the cell is not sending the external current. Removal : By amalgamating Zn rod with mercury (i.e. the surface of Zn is coated with Hg). Polarisation : It arises when the positive H2 ions which are formed by the action of Zn on sulphuric acid, travel towards the Cu rod and after transferring, the positive charge converted into H2 gas atoms and get deposited in the form of neutral layer of a gas on the surface of Cu rod. This weakens the action of cell in two ways. Removal : Either by brushing the anode the remove the layer or by using a depolariser (i.e. some oxidising agent MnO2, CuSO4 etc which may oxidise H2 into water). Note : The end point voltage of dry cell is 0.8 V. Concepts Electrolysis takes place for dc and low frequency ac, as at high frequency, due to inertia (i.e. mass) ions cannot follow the frequency of ac.
