A piece of charcoal and a piece of shini...

A piece of charcoal and a piece of shining steel of the same surface area are kept for a long time in an open lawn in bright sun.

A

The steel will absorb more heat than the charcoal.

B

The temperature of the steel will be higher than that of the charcoal.

C

If both are picked up by bare hands, the steel will be felt hotter than the charcoal.

D

If the two are picked up from the lawn and kept in a cold chamber, the charcoal will lose heat at a faster rate than the steel.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
C, D
If both are picked up by bare hands, the steel will be felt hotter than the charcoal. If the two are picked up ferom the olawn and kept in a cold chamber, the charcoal will lose heat at a faster rate than the steel.

The saturation current from a thoriated-tungsten cathode at 2000 K is 100 mA . What will be the saturation current for a pure-tungsten cathode of the same surface area operating at the same temperature? The constant A in the Richardson-Dushman equation is 60 xx 10^4 A m^(-2) K^(-2) for pure tungsten and 3.0 xx 10^(4) A m^(-2) K^(-2) for thoriated tungsten. The work function of pure tungsten is 4.5 eV and that of thoriated tungsten is 2.6 eV .

Grafting is the union between two plants of closely related varieties. Following are some statements regarding different types of grafting.

Read the following paragraph carefully and answer the following: Tie a stone to one end of a string. Take the other end in your hand and rotate the string so that the stone moves along a circle. As long as we are holding the string, we are pulling the stone towards us i.e. towards the centre of the circle and are appliying a force towards it. The force stops acting on it if we release the string. In this case, the stone will fly off along a straight line which is the tangent to the circle at the position of the stone when the string is released, because that the directionn of its velocity at that instant of time. You may recall a similar activity in which a 5 rupee coin kept on a rotating circular disc flies off the disc along the tangent to the disc. Thus, a force acts on any object moving along a circle and it is directed towards the centre of the circle. This is called the Centripetal force. The impressed force on the same is in which direction?
