Four cells each of e.m.f 1.5V and internal resistance of 4Ω are connected in parallel. What is the effective e.m.f. and internal resistance of the combination?

A.

6.0V, 16Ω

B.

6.0V, 1Ω

C.

1.5V, 4Ω

D.

1.5V, 1Ω

Correct answer is D

Since all the cells are connected in parallel, the effective e.m.f. is just that of one single cell. Which means e.m.f. = 1.5V

However, the effective internal resistance adds as parallel arrangement given as
1/r = 1/r1 + 1/r2 + 1/r3 + 1/r4
= 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4 + 1/4
= 1Ω
∴ r = 1Ω

Answer = 1.5V, 1Ω

The velocities of light in air and glass are 3.0 x 108ms-1 and 2.0 x 108ms-1 respectively. If the angle of refraction is 30°, the sine of the angle of incidence is

A.

0.33

B.

0.50

C.

0.67

D.

0.75

Correct answer is D

Refractive index
= \(\frac{Sin i}{Sin r}\) = \(\frac{\text{Vel. of light in air}}{\text{vel. of light in glass}}\)

= \(\frac{Sin i}{Sin 30^o}\)= \(\frac{3.0 \times 10^8}{2.0 \times 10^8}\)

= Sin i = \(\frac{(3.0 \times 10^8 \times Sin 30^o)}{2.0 \times 10^8}\)

= Sin i = \(\frac{(3.0 \times 10^8 \times 0.5)}{2.0 \times 10^8}\)

= \(\frac{1.5}{2}\)

= 0.75
