Two Questions on Specific Heat of Gases

Questions involving specific heats of gases have been discussed in some of the posts on this site. By clicking on the label ‘molar specific heat’ below this post, you will find some of the useful posts in this context. In particular, go through the post dated 1^st September 2006.

Let us discuss two more questions involving specific heats of gases:

(1) An ideal diatomic gas in a container is heated so that half of the gas molecules dissociate into atoms. The molar specific heats (at constant volume) of the sample of the gas in the container before and after heating are C₁ and C₂. Then C₁/C₂ is

(a) 3/7 (b) 5/7 (c) 7/9

(d) 9/10 (e) 15/11

The important point to note here is that on dissociation, each particle (diatomic molecule) with 5 degrees of freedom produces two particles (individual atoms) with 3 degrees of freedom. Therefore you have to use the value C_v = (5/2)R for the undissociated molecule and the value Cv = (3/2)R for the atoms formed on dissociation (C_v is the molar specific heat at constant volume and R is the universal gas constant).

Assuming that there are ‘n’ moles of the diatomic gas initially, the number of moles after dissociation is (3/2)n, with (n/2)×2 = n moles of atoms and n/2 moles of molecules.

The molar specific heat (at constant volume) before dissociation,

C₁ = (5/2)R, appropriate for a diatomic gas.

The molar specific heat (at constant volume) after dissociation,

C₂ = (Heat supplied for increasing the temperature through 1 K) /Number of moles

= [n×(3/2)R + (n/2)×(5/2)R] / (3/2)n = (11/6)R

Therefore, C₁/C₂ = (5/2)R/(11/6)R = 15/11.

(2) An ideal diatomic gas is heated at constant pressure. What is the fraction of the heat energy supplied, which increases the internal energy of the gas?

(a) 2/3 (b) 3/5 (c) 5/7

(d) 7/9 (e) 1/2

This is a simple question but it has appeared in various entrance test papers.

When you heat a gas at constant pressure, the gas expands, thereby doing work. When one mole of a diatomic gas is considered, the increase in the internal energy on heating it through 1 K is equal to its molar specific heat (molar heat capacity) at constant volume, which is (5/2) R where R is the universal gas constant. The total heat energy supplied in this case for increasing the internal energy and for doing the external work is the molar specific heat at constant pressure, which is (7/2) R. The fraction required in the question is therefore [(5/2)R] /[(7/2)R] = 5/7

Merry Christmas!

Multiple Choice Questions (MCQ) involving Inductance

(1) A long straight solenoid of cross section area10 cm² has 10 turns per cm. A short 50 turn coaxial coil of cross section area 2 cm² is fixed inside the solenoid at the middle. The mutual inductance of the solenoid and the coil is (in micro henry)

(a) 400 (b) 40 (c) 4π (d) π (e) ) 0.4π

Mutual inductance between an infinitely long straight solenoid and a short secondary coil placed coaxially inside at the middle is given by

M = μ₀nNA where μ₀ is the magnetic permeability of free space (or air), n is the number of turns per metre of the solenoid, N is the total number of turns in the secondary coil and A is the cross section area of the secondary coil. (If the secondary coil is outside the solenoid, the cross section area of the solenoid will appear in place of the area of the secondary coil).

[Note that the mutual inductance as given by the above expression is the magnetic flux (linked with the secondary coil) per unit current in the solenoid: M = NBA where B is the magnetic field (μ₀n×1) produced by unit current in the solenoid]

Substituting for the known quantities in the expression for mutual inductance, we have

M = 4π×10^–7×1000 ×50 ×(2×10^–4) = 4π×10^–6 H = 4π μH.

(2) The secondary coil in the above question is moved with uniform velocity coaxially over a distance of 5 cm in 2 seconds when a current of 2 ampere flows through the solenoid. The emf induced in the coil during the motion is

(a) 200π μV (b) 100π μV (c) 20π μV (d) 10π μV (e) zero

No emf will be induced in the coil since the same flux is linked with the coil throughout its motion and there is no flux change.

(3) In question No.1, suppose the solenoid carries a current of 4 A. If this current is switched off in 100 ms, the emf induced in the secondary coil will be

(a) 0.2π μV (b) 0.4π μV (c) π mV (d) 0.08π mV (e) 0.16π mV

We have ε = –M(dI/dt) = = 4π×10^–6 [(4 – 0)/(100×10^–3)] = 160π×10^–6 volt = 0.16π mV.

4. A battery of emf V volt is connected in series with a coil of inductance L and resistance R at the instant t = 0. The current in the circuit when t = 2τ where τ is the time constant of the circuit is (base of natural logarithm = e)

(a) (V/R)[1– (1/e²)]

(b) (V/R (1/e²)

(c) (V/R)[1– (1/e)]

(d) (V/R)(1/e)]

(e) 2e(V/R)

The expression for the growth of current (with time) in an LR circuit is

I = I₀[1– e^–Rt/L]

where I₀ is the final steady (maximum possible) current which is equal to V/R.

The time constant of the LR circuit is L/R. After 2 time constants, the current will be

I = I₀[1– e^{–R× 2(L/R)/L}] = (V/R) [1– e^{– 2}] = (V/R)[1– (1/e²)]

Two Questions on Force of Buoyancy

How does a balloon filled with helium rise in air? The weight of the balloon with helium is less than the force of buoyancy on the balloon and hence the balloon rises. Here is a question high lighting this principle:

A balloon of mass 6 kg is to be filled with helium so as to lift an instrument weighing 24 kg. The minimum volume of helium to be filled in the balloon is nearly (Density of air = 1.29 kg m^–3, density of helium = 0.18 kg m^–3 approximately)

(a) ) 22 m³ (b) 27 m³ (c) 30 m³ (d) ) 133 m³ (e) 166 m³

The balloon will start rising when the force of buoyancy on the balloon just exceeds the weight of the balloon with helium and the instrument. The force of buoyancy is equal to the weight of displaced air. Therefore, the minimum volume V of helium to be filled is given by

(6 + 0.18 V + 24)g = 1.29 Vg.

This gives V = 27 m³ approximately.

[The weight of air displaced by the instrument and the empty balloon is negligible and therefore not considered here].

Now consider the following MCQ:

A block of cork floats on the surface of water (in a container) with 30 cm outside water. If the system is placed on the moon where there is no atmosphere and the value of acceleration due to gravity is approximately one sixths that on the earth, the portion outside water will be

(a) 5 cm

(b) slightly less than 5 cm

(c) slightly less than 30 cm

(d) slightly greater than 30 cm

(e) slightly greater than 5 cm

If the acceleration due to gravity has a non-zero value, the exposed portion will remain unchanged since the weight of the floating body and the weight of displaced fluid are directly proportional to the value of the acceleration due to gravity. So, the exposed portion (or, the immersed portion) will remain the same whether you take the system to the moon or mars or inside a coal mine, when you consider the effect of ‘g’ only. But, you have to consider the effect of the atmosphere also. Since there is no atmosphere on the moon, there is no force of buoyancy due to the atmosphere and the net force of buoyancy (which is due to water in the container and due to the air above) is slightly reduced. Therefore, the block of cork gets immersed a little more and the exposed portion is slightly less than 30 cm.

[Note that if ‘g’ is zero, there is no weight and therefore no question of floatation].

Two Questions on Oscillations

Today we will discuss two multiple choice questions on simple harmonic motion:
(1) A simple pendulum of period 2 s has a small bob of mass 50 g. The amplitude of oscillation of the bob is 10 cm and it is at a height of 45 cm from the ground in its mean position. While oscillating, the string breaks just when the bob is in its mean position. The horizontal distance R `from the mean position where the bob will strike the ground is nearly

(a) 35.2 cm (b) 23 cm (c) 15.3 cm

(d)12.4 cm (e) 9.4 cm

The angular frequency (ω) of oscillation of the pendulum is given by

ω = 2π/T = 2π/2 = π rad/s.

The bob has maximum velocity (v_max) in the mean position and is given by

v_max = ωA where A is the amplitude.

Therefore, v_max = π × 0.1 = 0.1 π ms^–1

On getting detached from the string, the bob moves like a projectile shot horizontally from a height of 0.45 m with a velocity of 0.1 π ms^–1. Its time of flight (t) is obtained from the vertical displacement of 0.45 m:

0.45 = 0 + ½ gt². (Note that the initial vertical velocity is zero and the vertical acceleration is g, which we may take as 10 ms^–2). This gives t² = 0.09 so that t = 0.3 s.

The horizontal distance covered by the bob during this time is 0.1 π × 0.3 = 0.094 m = 9.4 cm.

[Note that the mass of the bob does not come into the picture and it just serves as a distraction].

Now, consider the following MCQ :

A large horizontal surface moves up and down simple harmonically with an amplitude of 1 cm. If a mass of 3 kg (which is placed on the surface) is to remain continually in contact with it, the maximum frequency of the SHM will be

(a) 5 Hz (b) 2 Hz (c) 8 Hz (d) 10Hz (e) 15 Hz

The mass will remain in contact with the surface if the maximum acceleration produced in the simple harmonic motion does not exceed the acceleration due to gravity (g).

Therefore, we have

ω²A = g where ω is the angular frequency of the SHM.

From this ω = √(g/A) = √(10/ 0.01) = 10×√10.

The maximum frequency (linear) of oscillations is therefore given by

n = ω/2π = (10×√10)/2π = 5 Hz.

[Note that the mass of the body placed on the surface does not come into the picture and it just serves as a distraction].

Two All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) Questions on Optics

The following questions which appeared in All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) 2005 entrance question paper for admitting students to the MBBS Degree course are simple as usual. They are meant for checking your knowledge and understanding of fundamentals.

(1) The apparent depth of water in a cylindrical water tank of diameter 2R cm is reducing at the rate of x cm/minute when water is being drained out at a constant rate. The amount of water drained in c.c. per minute is (n₁= refractive index of air, n₂ = refractive index of water)

(a) x π R² n₁/n₂ (b) x π R² n₂/n₁ (c) 2 π R n₁/n₂ (d) π R²x

Since the refractive index is the ratio of real depth to the apparent depth, we have

Real depth = Apparent depth × refractive index.

Therefore, the rate at which the real depth is decreasing = xn₂/n₁ cm per minute.

The amount of water drained in c.c. per minute is therefore equal to x π R² n₂/n₁, given in option (b).

(2) A telescope has an objective lens of focal length 200 cm and an eye piece with focal length 2 cm. If the telescope is used to see a 50 m tall building at a distance of 2 km, what is the length of the image of the building formed by the objective lens?

(a) 5 cm (b) 10 cm (c) 1 cm (d) 2cm

At the first glance this question may seem to be one involving the magnification produced by a telescope; but, this is quite simple since you are asked to consider the objective only.

The objective will produce the image of the building at the focus (which is at 2 m from the lens) and hence from the expression for magnification (M) we have

M = Distance of image/ Distance of object = Height of image/ Height of object

so that 2/ 2000 = x/50 where ‘x’ is the height of image in metre.

Therefore, x = 2×50/2000 = 0.05 m = 5 cm.

AP Physics Exam Resources- Two Questions (MCQ) on Moment of Inertia

Multiple choice questions discussed on this site will be useful for entrance examinations for admission to various degree courses including professional courses. They will be suitable for those preparing for AP Physics Examination, as can be judged by working out the following two questions:

(1) Three circular discs of radii R, R and 2R are cut from a metallic sheet of uniform thickness and the smaller discs are placed symmetrically on the larger disc as shown in the figure. If the mass of a smaller disc is M, the moment of inertia of the system about an axis at right angles to the plane of the discs and passing through the centre of the larger disc is

(a) 5MR² (b) 7MR² (c) 9MR²

(d) 11MR² (e) 12MR²

The mass of the larger disc is 4M (since its radius is twice that of the smaller disc) and its moment of inertia is (4M)×(2R)²/2 = 8MR².

The moment of inertia of each smaller disc about the axis passing through the centre of the larger disc (as given by the parallel axis theorem) is MR²/2 + MR² = 3MR²/2.

Note that the moment of inertia is a scalar quantity. Therefore, the total moment of inertia of the system of three discs is 8MR² + 2×3MR²/2 = 11MR².

(2) A small body of regular shape made of iron rolls up with an initial velocity ‘v’ along an inclined plane. It reaches a maximum height of 7v²/10g where ‘g’ is the acceleration due to gravity. The body is a

(a) ring (b) disc (c) solid sphere

(d) hollow sphere (e) cylindrical rod

The initial kinetic energy of the body is ½ Mv² + ½ I ω² where M is its mass and I is its moment of inertia about its axis (of rolling). The first term is its translational kinetic energy and the second term is its rotational kinetic energy.

Since the entire kinetic energy is used in gaining gravitational potential energy, we have

½ Mv² + ½ I ω² = Mgh where ‘h’ is the maximum height reached.

Therefore, ½ Mv² + ½ I v²/R² = Mg×7v²/10g, from which

I = (2/5)MR².

The body is therefore a solid sphere.

Multiple Choice Questions on Elasticity

Here are three questions (MCQ) on elasticity which appeared in Kerala Engineering and Medical Entrance 2004 Examination question papers:

(1) Wires A and B are made from the same material. A has twice the diameter and three times the length of B. If the elastic limits are not reached when each is stretched by the same tension, the ratio of energy stored in A to that in B is

(a) 2:3 (b) 3:4 (c) 3:2 (d) 6:1 (e) 12:1

The work (W) done in increasing the length of a wire or rod by ‘l’ by applying a force ‘F’ is given by

W = ½ Fl

[ Here is the proof for the above: The work dW done for increasing the length by dl is

F×dl. The total work done for increasing the length by ‘l’ is ∫F×dl where the limits of

integration are zero and ‘l’. Since the Young’s modulus, Y = (F/A)(L/l) where A is the

area of cross section and L is the length of the wire, we have F = YAl/L. The total work

done is therefore ₀ ∫^l (Yal/L)dl = ½ (Yal²/L) = ½ (YAl/L)×l = ½ Fl ]

The energy stored (which is equal to the work done) in a wire is therefore directly proportional to the increase in length. The ratio of energy stored is therefore W₁/W₂ = l₁/l₂ where l₁ and l₂ are the increases in length of the wires. But l₁ = FL₁/A₁Y and l₂ = FL₂/A₂Y so that

W₁/W₂ = l₁/l₂ = (L₁/L₂)×(A₂/A₁) = (3/1)×(1/4) = 3/4 [Option (b)].

(2) A wire of cross section 4 mm² is stretched by 0.1 mm. How far will a wire of the

same material and length but of area 8 mm² stretch under the action of the same

force?

(a) 0.05 mm (b) 0.01 mm (c) 0.15 mm

(d) 0.2 mm (e) 0.25 mm

This question as well as the previous one appeared in Kerala Medical Entrance 2004 question paper.

Since the increase in length is inversely proportional to the area of cross section of the wire, the correct option is 0.05 mm.

(3) Compressibility of water is 5×10^–10 m²/N. The change in volume of 100 ml of water subjected to 15×10^–6 Pa pressure will be

(a) no change (b) increase by 0.75 ml (c) increase by 1.5 ml

(d) decrease by 1.5 ml (e) decrease by 0.75 ml

This question appeared in Kerala Engineering Entrance 2004 question paper. You must definitely remember the expression for bulk modulus ‘B’ as

B = –P/(dV/V) where P is the pressure which produces a change in volume dV in a volume V. The negative sign indicates that an increase in pressure will produce a decrease in volume.

Compressibility is the reciprocal of bulk modulus. Therefore we have

1/(5×10^–10) = (15×10^–10 × 100×10^–6)/dV, from which

dV = 0.75×10^–6 m³ = 0.75 ml.

Since an increase in pressure produces a decrease in volume, the correct option is (e).

Multiple Choice Questions on Thermoelectric Effect

Questions involving neutral temperature and temperature of inversion often appear in entrance examination question papers. You have to remember that the neutral temperature is a constant for a given thermo couple where as the temperature of inversion is not a constant. The temperature of inversion is dependent on the temperature of the cold junction and is always as much above the neutral temperature as the cold junction is below it.

Now, consider the following MCQ:

The temperature of the cold junction of a thermocouple is 0º C and its neutral temperature is 275º C. If the temperature of the cold is changed to 20º C, the neutral temperature and the temperature of inversion will be respectively

(a) 265º C and 550º C (b) 265º C and 530º C (c) 275º C and 530º C

(d) 275º C and 550º C (e) 275º C and 510º C

The neutral temperature will be unchanged (275º C). Since the cold junction is 255º C below the neutral temperature, the temperature of inversion has to be 255º C above the neutral temperature and will be 530º C. So, the correct option is (c).

Consider now the following simple question:

The metal which does not exhibit Thomson effect is

(a) iron (b) nickel (c) copper

(d) lead (e) bismuth

The correct option is (d). In determining thermo electric quantities, lead is often used as one member of the couple because of the absence of Thomson effect in it.

What is the unit of thermo electric power?

The term ‘thermoelectric power’ is a misnomer. Thermoelectric power is dV/dT where V is the thermo emf and T is the temperature of the hot junction. There is no ‘power’ involved in it and the unit is volt per Kelvin.
