(a) Uncapping knife (b) Bee brush
(c) Queen introducing cage (d) Feeders
(e) Honey Extractor (F) Hive Entrance Guard

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) Uncapping knife: Uncapping knife is a long knife which helps in removing the cap from the combs as a first step in honey extraction.
(b) Bee Brush: Bee brush is a large brush often employed to brush off bees from honey combs particularly at the time of extraction.
(c) Queen introducing cage: Queen introducing cage is a pipe made of wire nets used for keeping the queen for about 24 hours for acquaintance with the hive and worker bees.
(d) Feeder: Feeder is a basin with sugar syrup covered by grass to feed the bees during drought. season. The grass prevents the bees from sinking into the syrup.
(e) Honey Extractor: Honey Extractor is a stainless-steel device which spins the combs rapidly to extract honey.
(f) Hive Entrance Guard: Hive Entrance Guard is a device similar to queen excluder in front of the hive entrance which prevents the escape of queen during warming season.

Figure shows a metal rod PQ resting on the smooth rails AB and positioned between the poles of a permanent magnet. The rails, the rod and the magnetic field are in three mutually perpendicular directions. A galvonometer G connects the rails through a switch K. Length of rod = 15 cm, B = 0.50 T, resistance of the closed loop containing the rod = 9.0mOmega . Assume the field to be uniform. a. Suppose K is open and the rod is moved with a speed of 12cms^(-1) in the direction shown. Give the polarity and magnitude of the induced emf. b. Is there an excess charge built up at the ends of the rods when K is open? What if K is closed? c. With K open and the rod moving uniformly, there is no net force on the electrons in the rod PQ eventhough they do experience magnetic force due to the motion of the rod. Explain. d. What is the retarding force on the rod when K is closed? e. How much power is required (by an external agent) to keep the rod moving at the same speed (=12cms^(-1)) when K is closed? How much power is required when K is open? f. How much power is dissipated as heat in the closed circuit? What is the source of this power? g. What is the induced emf in the moving rod if the magnetic field is parallel to the rails instead of being perpendicular?
