It's Time for some PHYSICS Analogy!

 Hello Readers,



An analogy can be drawn between different conservation laws. Observe the similarity in various quantities listed below.




Example:

N identical drops of mercury are charged simultaneously to a potential of 10 V. When combined to form one larger drop, the potential is found to be 40 V. The value of N is

[Options]:

(A) 5

(B) 3

(C) 8

(D) 10

Answer: (C)

Let r be the radius of each drop and R be the radius of the larger drop. The volume of N identical drops is equal to the volume of the larger drop.



Let q and Q be the charges on the small drops and the larger drop respectively.

From the law of conservation of electric charge,



The potential of a small drop is



The potential of the larger drop is



Divide equation (3) by equation (4).



Substitute the known values.

Measuring Instrument (Free Marks in Exams)🤑

work in progress! Wait for final Blog.   Did you know!😯 2 questions have been asked in JEE-Main and 3 in JEE-Advanced on this concept in last 10 years . The measurement of length is necessary in almost all the experiments in Physics. There are experiments where greater accuracy is not required. In such experiments, a meter scale is used to measure distances correctly up to a millimetre. To measure a length correctly up to a fraction of a millimetre, the division must be subdivided. Hence, a meter scale cannot be used in measurements that requires greater accuracy. For accurate measurement up to  or  of a millimetre, there are various devices that can be used, such as (A) Vernier caliper                              (B) Screw gauge (I) Vernier caliper:- A Vernier caliper consists of a rectangular steel bar such that inch is marked on one edge and centimetre is on the other edge, as shown in the fig...
