When a substance conducts elecricity without any resistance, it is called a …….. .

A parallel plate capacitor is to be designed with a voltage rating 1 kV, using a material of dielectric constant 3 and dielectric strength about 10^(7) Vm^(-1) . (Dielectric strength is the maximum electric field a material can tolerate without breakdown, i.e., without starting to conduct electricity through partial ionisation.) For safety, we should like the field never to exceed, say 10% of the dielectric strength. What minimum area of the plates is required to have a capacitance of 50 pF?

The resistance offered by a wire of unit length and unit cross-sectional area is called resistivity. For a material irrespective of length and area, the resistivity is constant. It is also called specific resistance of the material. Metals and alloys have low resistivity while insulators have high resistivity. Resistivity of two elements A and B are 1.62 xx 10^(-8) Omega m and 520 xx10^(-8) Omega m respectively. Out of these two, name the element that can be used to make : (i) filament of electric bulb. (ii) wires for electrical transmission lines.

Development that meets the need of the present without compromming the ability of future generation to meet their own need is called

What is electrical resistivity of a material? What is its unit? Describe an experiment to study the factors on which the resistance of conducting wire depends.

The electrical resistance in ohms of a certain thermometer varies with temperature according to the approximate law: R = R_(0) [1 + alpha (T - T_(0))] The resistance is 101.6 Omega at the triple-point of water 273.16 K , " and " 165.5 Omega at the normal melting point of lead (600.5 K) . What is the temperature when the resistance is 123.4 Omega ?

The electrolyte solutions show abnormal colligative porperties.To account for this effect we define a quantity called the Van't Hoff factor given by i=("Actual number of particles in solution after dissociation")/("Number of formula units initially dissolved in solution") i=1 ("for non-electrolytes") igt1 ("for electrolytes, undergoing dissociation") ilt1 ("for solutes, undergoing association") Answer the following questions: certain substances trimerize when dissolved in a solvent A . The Van't Hoff factor i for the solutions is
