Can anyone tell me what is Newton's Third Law..
The correct one..
Thanks in advance

'When 2 bodies interact,force on one body is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the force on the other body'
Below are the points for a 3 marks definition of newtons 3rd law from the marking schemes
'force on body A is equal in magnitude to force on body B (from A)
forces are in oppositre directions
forces are of the same kind'

Hey guys. Hope you all are doing fine studying. I wanted to ask what equipment are we to bring when doing the practical of physics and what things will be provided. Thanks.

Any One Plz Tell me What is Phase difference & Path difference?
Click to expand...

Path difference is simply the difference in the distances travelled by two waves from coherent sources at a particular point. In other words, it is the difference (in meters) between the lengths of two paths.

Phase difference is a little complicated.. but hope the following explanation will make it clear.
In periodic phenomena, the phase is the relative position in the cycle. That is if you divide all the cycle in 360 degrees (or better in 2 pi radians), and decide to start counting at a given position, each time that the process attains the same position its phase will have advanced 360 degrees.
Take an example of a walking person, and place the start of phase when the right foot touches the earth. When the phase advances 180°, the left foot touches the earth. See why?
Now take two persons walking beside. They start touching the earth with their right foot simultaneously: they are in phase, their phase difference is zero.
If they are parading soldiers they will stay in phase and their right foots will continue to touch the earth simultaneously.
But if they are not parading, the phase difference of each one will be probably different. If the period of person B is shorter, his right foot will touch earth a little before person A. We say that person B is in advance on phase relative to A, or that the phase of A lags B.
When two waves have the same periodicity i.e same frequency, and travel at the same speed and same distance, they will have the same phase difference.

Question 2 (c) attached!

For the 3 (i), there's only one way. Split the graph into 3 parts minimum and calculate the area under graph. I believe cambridge have a range of values of the distance moved.

magnetic flux proportional to emf in primary coil {the emf in d primary coil will induce a mag field ie mag flux (as d field cuts d wire)}
emf across secondary proportional to rate of change of magnetic flux [this changing mag flux, according to faraday's law will induce an emf in d secondary coil... thus, emf in d secondary coil is proportional to d RATE of changing flux]
so emf of supply not in phase with pd across secondary.
