In a metal wire , when electric current is passed through it , electrons are replaced by NEW electrons? o_O
where do the NEW electrons come from? :/
lol, by new electrons it means as the electrons are flowing.
electron x moves forward and the electron y (which is it its back) takes its position and this way they keep on flowing.

Q2 (a)
see ms, it states all about its formula. then where did that definition go "turning efffect of force is moment of force"? 0.0

the same ppr, Q6 (b) (i)
funky brat, i remember u said when it is said about current, we consider it "convectional current", so why is it stated in ms that current is "flow of charge/electrons"?

Q8 EITHER (b) (i)

how to determine resultant force in these type of q's :(
for that Q4, u'll apply head-to-tail rule, or paralellogram method. so simply, as both forces on object are equal, the resultant will be their angle bisector.

Q5, it says *turning* in a *horizontal* circle. so the only force in a horizontal direction is D.

i did it this way,
p=E/t (E=mgh)
p=mgh/t
my answer was 1200W
which is greater than input :p
so its not possible, can somebody find the error and tell me the right one :(
ans is C

ok, in this question the radioactive source is place 10cm away from the G.M tube, so alpha partiles will itself stop after 5-6 cm.
beta and gamma is left, beta is deflected by magnetic field but gamma is not, so after defection the GM tube will show count rate of beta or not?
is count rate 1950 for beta and gamma or just for gamma?
the answer is C.38.JPG

Its quite simple..
Without the magnetic field both beta and gamma would be detected. When the field is introduced beta gets deflected by a very large angle because of it's charge and very negligible mass. Therefore gamma passes undevited and reaches the detector so yes 1950 is only for gamma beta no longer reaches the detector

this was the only confusion thanks :D

yes, right!! but how?
Sorry i typed out only half my reply....before posting by accident
When alpha was fired at gold foil most of the particles went undeviated through the foil and only 1 in 10000 were deflected by a large angle. This led to the conclusion that the mass of an atom is concentrated in a tiny volume at it's centre and that is the nucleus.....

is this that gold leaf experiment?

The current changes its direction in Dc motor while rotating? :S
The function of carbon brushes in DC AC is the same? to reduce friction between the commutators?
