Suppose Swarglok (heaven) is in constant motion at a speed of 0.9999c with respect to the earth. According to the earth's frame , how much time passes on the earth before one day passes on Swarglok?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given ` v = 0.9999 C, `
`Delta t = One day in earth`
` Delta t ' = One day in heaven `
` v = 1 / (sqrt 1 - v^(2) / c^(2)) `
` = 1 / (sqrt 1 - (0.9999)^(2) c^(2) / c^(2) )`
` 1 / 0.014141782 = 70.712 `
Delta t' = v Delta t `
`Hence Delta t ' = 70.7 days in heaven ` .

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.
