Seven base units: metre, kilogram, second, ampere, kelvin, mole, candela. All other units derived. This is standard definition. Supplementary units radian and steradian now considered dimensionless derived units.
Explanation:
Generator: coil rotated in magnetic field induces emf. Motor: opposite. Transformer: changes voltage, no moving parts. Rectifier: AC to DC.
Explanation:
Coefficient of performance (COP) for refrigerator: COP = Q₂ / W, where Q₂ is heat extracted from cold reservoir, W is work input. By energy conservation, Q₁ = Q₂ + W (heat rejected to hot reservoir). COP > 1 typically. Option A is inverse; C and D relate to heat engine efficiency. Memory aid: 'Refrigerator COP = desired output (cooling) / work input'. This thermodynamics definition is frequently tested in competitive exams. Always distinguish refrigerator COP (cooling effect per work) from heat engine efficiency (work output per heat input).
In a photoelectric effect experiment, a graph is plotted between the stopping potential (V0) on the y-axis and the frequency of incident light (v) on the x-axis. The slope of this straight line gives the value of:
A.Planck's constant (h)
B.Work function of the metal
C.Planck's constant divided by electron charge (h/e)
Explanation:
Einstein's photoelectric equation is K_max = hv - W. Since K_max = eV0 (where V0 is stopping potential), eV0 = hv - W. Rearranging for the y-axis variable gives V0 = (h/e)v - (W/e). This is a linear equation y = mx + c. The slope 'm' of the V0 vs v graph is strictly exactly h/e.
