Define Current Sensitivity and Voltage Sensitivity of a Galvanometer

What do you know about sensitivity of a galvanometer? Define current sensitivity and voltage sensitivity of a galvanometer. Sensitivity of a galvanometer :  A galvanometer is said to be sensitive if a small current flowing through the coil of galvanometer produces a large deflection in the galvanometer. (i) Current Sensitivity : The current sensitivity of a galvanometer is defined as the deflection produced in the coil of the galvanometer per unit current flowing through it. That is, current sensitivity  $= \dfrac{\phi}{I} = \dfrac{\phi}{k \phi / (NAB)} = \dfrac{NAB}{k}$ Current sensitivity of galvanometer can be increased either by (a) increasing the magnetic field B by using a strong permanent horseshoe shaped magnet. (b) increasing the number of turns N of the coil. But, number of turns of the coil cannot be increased beyond a certain limit. This is because the resistance of the galvanometer will increase subsequently and hence the galvanometer becomes less sensitive. (c) i...

limitations of Ohm's law | Distinguish Ohmic and non ohmic circuit elements

Image
limitations of Ohm's law | Distinguish Ohmic and non ohmic circuit elements  Ohm's law is not considered to be a fundamental law. It explains the common behaviour of many substances/materials under given conditions like constant temperature and pressure. It is, therefore, possible that some materials may not strictly follow the Ohm's law (i.e. $V \propto I$). Ohm's law is not obeyed in the following cases : 1. When temperature of a conductor increases considerably . Ohm's law ($V \propto I$ or $R = \frac{V}{I}$) for a conductor at constant temperature is shown by a dotted line in Figure 13. However, when temperature of the conductor increase, its resistance increases and hence $V$ is not directly proportional to $I$. The behaviour of a conductor at high temperature is shown by a solid curve  2. Ohm's law is not obeyed by semiconductor diode. A semiconductor diode conducts, when forward biased and does not conduct, when reverse biased. (We shall discuss semicondu...

Derivation : Drift of Electrons and the Origin of Resistivity and Mobility

Drift of Electrons and the Origin of Resistivity :  Drift Velocity :  Consider a conductor with free electrons moving randomly. When an electric field $\vec{E}$ is applied across the conductor, the electrons experience a force $\vec{F} = -e\vec{E}$, where $-e$ is the charge of an electron. This force causes the electrons to accelerate. According to Newton's second law, $\vec{F} = m\vec{a}$, where $m$ is the mass of the electron and $\vec{a}$ is its acceleration. Therefore, $m\vec{a} = -e\vec{E}$ $\vec{a} = -\frac{e\vec{E}}{m}$ The electrons collide with the ions in the conductor. Let $\tau$ be the average time between successive collisions, known as the relaxation time. The average velocity acquired by the electrons due to the electric field is called the drift velocity $\vec{v}_d$. $\vec{v}_d = \vec{a}\tau = -\frac{e\vec{E}\tau}{m}$ The negative sign indicates that the drift velocity is opposite to the direction of the electric field. Origin of Resistivity :  Let $n$ be ...

Define Resistivity and conductivity | S.I Unit and Dimensions | Factors on depends

Define Resistivity and conductivity | S.I Unit and Dimensions | Factors on depends Resistivity :  $\rho = R \left( \frac{A}{l} \right)$ If $A = 1$, $l = 1$, then $\rho = R$ resistivity of a conductor of a given material is defined as the resistance of the conductor of unit length and unit area of cross-section. S.I. Unit of Resistivity :  Since, $\rho = R \left( \frac{A}{l} \right)$, therefore, S.I. unit of $\rho$ is $\frac{\text{ohm metre}^2}{\text{metre}}$ or ohm-metre ($\Omega$ m) Dimensional formula of resistivity :  Resistivity, $[\rho] = \frac{[R] \times [A]}{[L]} = \frac{[ML^2T^{-3}A^{-2}] [L^2]}{[L]} = [ML^3T^{-3}A^{-2}]$ conductivity :  Electrical conductivity or conductivity of a substance is equal to the inverse of its resistivity. That is, $ \sigma = \frac{1}{\rho}$ S.I. unit of conductivity :  $\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}$ or $Sm^{-1}$.

Factor Affecting the Resistance: Resistivity or Specific Resistance - Param Himalaya

Factor Affecting the Resistance: Electrical Resistivity or Specific Resistance State the factors on which the resistance of a conductor depends at constant temperature and hence define electrical resistivity or specific resistance. Give SI unit and dimensional formula of specific resistance. Resistance of a conductor at constant temperature depends upon: (a) Length of the conductor: The resistance R of a conductor is directly proportional to its length $l$. That is, $R \propto l \quad \ldots (i)$ More the length of a conductor, more is its resistance. (b) Area of cross-section of the conductor: The resistance of a conductor is inversely proportional to its area of cross-section A. That is, $R \propto \frac{1}{A} \quad \ldots (ii)$ Thus, thin wire has more resistance than the thick wire of same length. Combining eqns. (i) and (ii), we get $R \propto \frac{l}{A}$ or $R = \rho \left( \frac{l}{A} \right) \quad \ldots (iii)$ where, $\rho$ is known as specific resistance or resistivity of th...

Define Resistance and Conductance | SI Unit and Dimensions

Define Resistance and Conductance | SI Unit , Dimensions  Electric Resistance :  Resistance of a conductor is the opposition offered by the conductor to the flow of electric charge in the conductor. Resistance of a conductor is defined as the ratio of the potential difference across the ends of the conductor to the current flowing through it. That is, $R = \frac{V}{I}$ S.I. unit of resistance :  It's S.I unit is ohm ($\Omega$) $1 \text{ ohm } (\Omega) = \frac{1 \text{ volt } (V)}{1 \text{ ampere } (A)} \quad \text{ or } 1 \Omega = 1 VA^{-1}$ Definition of 1 ohm:  Resistance of a conductor is said to be 1 ohm, if current of 1 A flows through it, when potential difference of 1 V is applied across it. Dimensional formula of resistance: $[R] = \frac{[V]}{[I]}$ $[R]= \frac{[\text{Work}]}{[\text{Charge}] \times [\text{Current}]}$ $[R]=\frac{[\text{Work}]}{[\text{Current}] \times [\text{Time}] \times [\text{Current}]}$ $= \frac{[ML^2T^{-2}]}{[A^2T]}$ $= [ML^T^{-3}A^{-2}]$ C...

State and Verify Ohm's Law | Draw V-I Characteristics - Param Himalaya

State and Verify Ohm's Law | Draw V-I Characteristics - Param Himalaya  Statement of Ohm's Law :  According to Ohm's law, the current ($I$) flowing through a conductor is directly proportional to the potential difference ($V$) across the ends of the conductor, provided the physical conditions (like temperature, pressure, strain, etc.) of the conductor remain unchanged. Mathematically, this can be expressed as: $V \propto I$ Introducing a constant of proportionality, $R$, known as the electric resistance or simply resistance of the conductor, we get: $V = RI$ This can also be written as: $R = \frac{V}{I}$ The value of $R$ depends on the nature of the material of the conductor, its dimensions, and temperature. It does not depend on the values of $V$ and $I$. Verification of Ohm's Law :  Ohm's law can be verified using the voltmeter-ammeter method. A circuit is set up with a battery connected to a conductor XY through a rheostat, an ammeter in series, and a key. A volt...

Explain Resistivity of Various Materials ? - Param Himalaya

Image
RESISTIVITY OF VARIOUS MATERIALS For ideal conductor, resistivity is zero and for ideal insulator , the resistivity is infinite.  Metals have low resistivities in the range of $10^{-8} \Omega m$ to $10^{-6} \Omega m$. At the other end are insulators like ceramic, rubber and plastics having resistivities $10^{18}$ times greater than metals or more. In between the two are the semiconductors. These, however, have resistivities characteristically decreasing with a rise in temperature. The resistivities of semiconductors can be decreased by adding small amount of suitable impurities.  Resistivity of material is inversely proportional to its conductivity therefore conductivity of conductor is more than that of semiconductor. the conductivity of a semiconductor is more that of an insulator

Define Temperature Dependence of Resistivity of Metals/Conductors, Insulators and Semiconductors - Param Himalaya

Image
Discuss the temperature dependence of resistivity of metals/conductors, insulators and semiconductors. It has been observed that at low temperature, resistivity of a conductor increases at a higher power of temperature (T). Thus, over a limited range of temperature, the variation of $\rho$ with temperature (T) is expressed by the relation $\rho = \rho_0 [1 + \alpha (T - T_0)]$ where $\rho_0$ is the resistivity at reference temperature $T_0$ (say 273 K or $0^\circ$C), $\rho$ is resistivity at temperature $T$ and $\alpha$ is the temperature coefficient of resistivity. The temperature coefficient of resistivity is defined as : $\alpha = \frac{(\rho - \rho_0)}{\rho_0 (T - T_0)} = \frac{\Delta \rho}{\rho_0 \Delta T}$ Thus, temperature coefficient of resistivity ($\alpha$) is defined as the change in resistivity per unit original resistivity per unit change in temperature. The SI unit of temperature coefficient of resistivity is (kelvin)$^{-1}$ or K$^{-1}$. Temperature coefficient of resisti...

Define electric energy and power. Give their S.I. units and define them. Give relation between them. Electric Energy : The work done by a source to maintain a current in an electrical circuit is known as electric energy. Consider an electric device or circuit element (e.g., an electric lamp, heater etc.) of resistance $R$ through which current $I$ flows from the end $A$ to the end $B$ for time $t$. Let $q$ be the charge flowing from $A$ to $B$ in time $t$, then $q = It \quad \left( I = \frac{q}{t} \right)$ If $V$ be the potential difference between $A$ and $B$, then work done to carry the charge $q$ from point $B$ to $A$ is equal to the change in potential energy of the charge $q$ and is given by  $W = \Delta U = Vq = VIt$ This work done is equal to the electric energy $E$ consumed in the circuit and is given by E = VIt We know, $V = IR$ (from Ohm's law) $E = (IR) It = I^2Rt = \left( \frac{V}{R} \right)^2 Rt = \frac{V^2}{R} t$ This electric energy appears as heat energy in the res...

Define cell, E.M.F., Terminal Potential Difference and Internal Resistance of a cell - Param Himalaya

Image
Define cell, e.m.f., terminal potential difference and internal resistance of a cell. A cell is a device which provides the necessary potential difference to an electric circuit to maintain a continuous flow of current in it. A cell consists of two rods or plates called electrodes which are dipped in a chemical solution called electrolyte. The pictorial symbol of a cell is $\dashv \vdash$. Longer vertical line shows +ve terminal and shorter vertical line shows -ve terminal of the cell. (a) EMF (Electromotive force) :  E.M.F. of a cell may be defined as the potential difference between the terminals of the cell when no current is drawn from the cell. In a cell, the positive charges are driven towards an electrode making it positive and the negative charges towards the other electrode making it negative. Thus, a potential difference develops between +ve and -ve electrodes i.e. terminals of the cell. E.M.F. of a cell can also be defined as: The work per unit charge done by a cell in m...

Cells can be connected in : (i) series, (ii) parallel, (iii) mixed combination. Cells Connected in Series :  In series combination of the cells, the negative terminal of a cell is connected to the positive terminal of an other cell, and so on.

KIRCHHOFF'S LAWS AND SIMPLE APPLICATIONS :  Question : State and explain Kirchhoff's rules with the help of simple applications. Kirchhoff's laws are used to find the currents and voltages in different parts of the circuit. Kirchhoff's First Law or Rule (The Junction Law or Kirchhoff's Current Law) :  It states that the sum of all the currents entering any point (or junction) must be equal to the sum of all currents leaving that point (junction). The algebraic sum of all the currents meeting at a point (or junction) in a closed electrical circuit is zero. That is, $ \Sigma I = 0 $ Consider a point or junction O in an electrical circuit (Figure 37). Let $I_1$, $I_3$ be the currents entering the point O and $I_2$, $I_4$, $I_5$ be the currents leaving the point O. Then according to Kirchhoff's first law or junction law, $I_1 + I_3 = I_2 + I_4 + I_5 \quad \dots(i)$ or $ I_1 + I_3 + (-I_2) + (-I_4) + (-I_5) = 0 $ or $ I_1 + I_3 - I_2 - I_4 - I_5 = 0$ or  $\Sigma I = ...

Wheatstone bridge ? Give its Principle, Theory and Proof - Param Himalaya

Image
What is Wheatstone bridge? Give its principle, theory and proof. Wheatstone bridge is an arrangement of four resistors in the form of a bridge used for measuring one unknown resistance in terms of other three known resistances Construction : Four resistors of resistances $P, Q, R$ and $S$ respectively are arranged in the form of a bridge. A source of e.m.f. '$\epsilon$' is connected between points $A$ and $C$. A galvanometer is connected between points $B$ and $D$. Unknown resistance can be in any of the four arms of the bridge $P, Q, R$ and $S$. Usually, unknown resistance is Put at S. Out of the four resistances, one(S) is unknown, one is variable (R) and the other two (P and Q) can be standard resistors. Principle : When key K is closed, the galvanometer shows the presence of current $I_g$ through it. The value of a resistances say R is adjusted in such a way that the galvanometer shows no deflection. At this stage, the potential at points B and D is equal and hence no curr...

Coherent and Incoherent Addition of Waves - Param Himalaya

Image
Coherent and Incoherent Addition of Waves  When two identical vibrating needles are allowed to oscillate in phase when they just touch the free surface of water in the tank at points $S_1$ and $S_2$. These needles generate two waves, each of amplitude $A$ at any instant. Phase difference between their displacement does not change with time. Consider a point $P$ such that $S_1P = S_2P$. At this point, resultant displacement is the sum of the individual displacements $y_1$ and $y_2$ of the two waves respectively. $y = y_1 + y_2 \quad \dots (i)$ $But \quad y_1 = y_2 = A \sin \omega t$ $\therefore \quad y = 2A \sin \omega t$ where $2A$ is the amplitude of the resultant wave. Now, intensity, $I \propto (\text{amplitude})^2$ $\therefore$ resultant intensity, $\quad I = K(2A)^2 = 4KA^2 = 4I_0$ $I_0 = KA^2$ is the intensity of wave produced by each source.  Thus, the intensity of the resultant wave at any point on the perpendicular bisector of $S_1S_2 = 4I_0$. Now, consider another po...
