    A radio can tune to minimum frequency,

    ν1 = 7.5 MHz= 7.5 x 106 Hz Maximum frequency,

    ν2= 12 MHz = 12 x 106 Hz,

    Speed of light, c = 3 x 108 m/s

    Corresponding wavelength for ν1 can be calculated as:

    λ1=c/ν1 = (3 x 108)/( 7.5 x 106 ) =40m

    Corresponding wavelength for ν2 can be calculated as:

    λ2=c/ν2 = (3 x 108)/( 12 x 106 ) =25m

    Thus, the wavelength band of the radio is 40 m to 25 m.

    Radius of each circular plate, R = 6.0 cm = 0.06 m
    Capacitance of a parallel plate capacitor, C = 100 pF = 100 x 10-12 F Supply voltage, V = 230 V
    Angular frequency, ω = 300 rad s1
    Ans (a).

    Rms value of conduction current, I = v/ xc

    Where, Xc = Capacitive reactance =1/ωC

    Therefore ,I = V x ωC = 230 x 300 x 100 x 1012 = 6.9 x 10-6 A = 6.9 μA

    Hence, the rms value of conduction current is 6.9μA.

    Ans (b).

    Yes, conduction current is equal to displacement current.

    Ans (c).

    Magnetic field is given as: B = μ0rI0/2πR2

    Where,

    μ0 = Free space permeability = 4π x 10-7 NA2

    Io = Maximum value of current = √2I

    r = Distance between the plates from the axis = 3.0 cm = 0.03 m

    Therefore, B = (4π x 10-7  x 0.03 x √2 x 6.9 x 10-6) /(2π x 0.062)

    =1.63  x 10-11 T

    Hence, the magnetic field at that point is 1.63 x 10-11 T.

Capacitance between the two plates is given by the relation, C = ε0 A/d    Where, A = Area of each plate = πRead more

    Radius of each circular plate, r = 12 cm = 0.12 m

    Distance between the plates, d = 5 cm = 0.05 m

    Charging current, I = 0.15 A

    Permittivity of free space, ε0 = 8.85 x 10⁻12 C2 N⁻1 m-2

    Ans (a).

    Capacitance between the two plates is given by the relation,

    C = ε0 A/d   

    Where, A = Area of each plate = πr2

    C= ε0 πr2/d  =  [8.85 x 10⁻12 x π x (0.12)]/0.05

    = 8.0032 x 10⁻12  F = 80.032 pF

    Charge on each plate, q = CV

    Where,

    V = Potential difference across the plates

    Differentiation on both sides with respect to time (t) gives:

    dq/dt = C dV/dt

    But dq/dt = current (I)

    Therefore ,dV/dt = I /C

    => 0.15/(8.0032 x 10⁻12) = 1.87 x 10⁹ V/s

    Therefore, the change in potential difference between the plates is 1.87 x 109 V/s.

    Ans (b).

    The displacement current across the plates is the same as the conduction current.

    Hence, the displacement current, id is 0.15 A.

    Ans (c).

    Yes

    Kirchhoffs first rule is valid at each plate of the capacitor provided that we take the sum of conduction and displacement for current.

    The rating of a step-down transformer is 40000 V-220 V.
    Input voltage,V, = 40000 V
    Output voltage,V2 = 220 V
    Total electric power required,
    P = 800 kW = 800 x 103 W
    Source potential, V = 220 V
    Voltage at which the electric plant generates power,
    V’ = 440 V
    Distance between the town and power generating station, d = 15 km
    Resistance of the two wire lines carrying power =0.5 Ω/km Total resistance of the wire lines,

    R = (15 + 15)0.5 = 15 Ω

    P= V1I

    Rms current in the wire line is given as:

    => I = P/V1

    = 800 x 103/40000= 20 A

    Ans (a).

    Line power loss = I2R = (20)2 x 15 = 6 kW

    Ans (b).

    Assuming that the power loss is negligible due to the leakage of current.

    Hence, power supplied by the plant = 800 kW + 6kW = 806 kW

    Ans (c).

    Voltage drop in the power line = IR = 20 x 15 = 300 V

    Hence, voltage that is transmitted by the power plant

    = 300 + 40000 = 40300 V

    The power is being generated in the plant at 440 V.

    Hence, the rating of the step-up transformer needed at the plant is 440 V – 40300 V.

    Hence, power loss during transmission

    = (600/1400 )x 100 = 42.8%

    1400

    In the previous exercise, the power loss due to the same reason is (6/806 )x 100 = 0.744%

    Since the power loss is less for a high voltage transmission, high voltage transmissions are preferred for this purpose.
