Consider Experiment:
(a) What would you do to obtain a large deflection of the galvanometer ?
(b) How would you demonstrate the presence of an induced current in the absence of a galvanometer ?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a) To obtain a large deflection, one or more of the following steps can be taken: (i) Use a rod made of soft iron inside the coil `C_2` , (ii) Connect the coil to a powerful battery, and (iii) Move the arrangement rapidly towards the test coil `C_1` .
(b) Replace the galvanometer by a small bulb, the kind one finds in a small torch light. The relative motion between the two coils will cause the bulb to glow and thus demonstrate the presence of an induced current.
In experimental physics one must learn to innovate. Michael Faraday who is ranked as one of the best experimentalists ever, was legendary for his innovative skills.

In an experiment to estimate the size of a molecule of oleic acid 1 mL of oleic acid is dissolved in 19 ml of alcohol. Then I mL of this solution is diluted to 20 mL by adding alcohol. Now 1 drop of this diluted solution is placed on water in a shallow through. The solution spreads over the surface of water forming one molecule thick layer. Now lycopodium powder is sprinkled evenly over the film and its diameter is measured. Knowing the volume of the drop and area of the film we can calculate the thickness of the film which will give us the size of oleic acid molecule. Read the passage carefully and answer the following questions. (a) Why do we dissolve oleic acid in alcohol ? (b) What is the role of lycopodium powder ? (c) What would be the volume of oleic acid in each ml of solution prepared ? (d) How will you calculate the volume of n drops of this solution of oleic acid ?
