Torque on a Dipole in a Uniform Field:
consider an electric dipole consisting of charges +q and –q and of length 2a placed in a unifor
Torque or Moment of Force
A force can rotate a nut when applied by a wrench or it can open a door while the door rotates in its hinges (i.e.) in ad
Torque on current loop in a uniform magnetic field:
Torque on a magnetic dipole in a magnetic field:
Moving coil Galvanometer: A galvanometer is a device used to detect current in a circuit.
Principle: If a current carrying coil placed in a magnetic field experiences a torque, the magnitude of which depends on the strength of current.
(i) The metallic parts of machinery are never subjected to a stress beyond elastic limit, otherwise they will get permanently deformed.
(ii) The thickness of the me
Whenever a large conductor i.e. 2 dimension or 3 dimension conductor in placed in varying magnetic field an EMF is induced in it due to the find closed paths within concentric circular currents known as eddy currents.
Eddy currents by nature are con
In a non-uniform electric field, the +q and –q charges of a dipole experiences different forces (not equal and opposite) at slightly different positions in the field and
As shown in fig. consider an electric dipole in a uniform electric field E with its dipole moment 'p' making an angle θ with the field. Two equal and opposite forces -qE
Moment of Inertia
Moment of inertia plays the same role in rotational motion as mass plays
Law of Conservation of Angular Momentum
Newton’s second law for rotational motion
If the upper end of a cylinder is clamped and a torque is applied at the lower end the cylinder gets twisted by angle q. Simultaneously shearing strain is produ
Dimensions of a Physical Quantity.
The powers to which fundamental quantities must be raised in order to express the given physical quantity are called its dimensions.
To make it more clear, consider the physical quantity force
