This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

q=CV

And we know q=It

Then Iddt= cdV

Id= Cdv/dt

1 * 10 - 3 = 2 * 10-6 * dV/dt

DV/dt= 500V/s, this will produce the desired result.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

As we know radiant flux density S=  1 μ 0 (E * B )= c2 ? 0(E * B )

Suppose electromagnetic waves be propagating along x-axis. The electric field vector of

Electromagnetic wave be along y-axis and magnetic field vector be along z-axis. Therefore,

E=E0cos (kx-wt)

B=B0cos (kx-wt)

E * B= (E0B0)cos2(kx-wt)

S= c2 ε 0 (E * B )

Radiant flux density over a complete cycle is

Sav= c2 ? 0|E0 * B0| 1 T 0 T c o s 2 ( k x - w t ) d t

     = c2 ? 0|E0B0| 1 T * T 2

     = C 2 2 ε 0E0( E 0 c )

     = c 2 ε 0E02= c 2 * 1 c 2 μ 0  E02

     = E 0 2 2 μ 0 c

(i) Microwave is used in satellite communications. So, λ1 is the wavelength of microwave.

(ii) Ultraviolet rays are used to kill germs in water purifier. So, λ2 is the wavelength of UV rays.

(iii) X-rays are used to detect leakage of oil in underground pipelines. So, λ3 wavelength of X-rays.

(iv) Infrared is used to improve visibility on runways during fog and mist conditions. So,  it is the wavelength of infrared waves.

(b) Wavelength of X-rays < wavelength of UV < wavelength of infrared < wavelength of microwave.

⇒ λ3 < 2 < 4< 1

(c) (i) Microwave is used in radar.

(ii) UV is used in LASIK eye surgery.

(iii) X-ray is used

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Magnetic field induction at a point in a region between two plates of a parallel plate capacitor is

B= μ02Id4πr = μ0Id2πr = μ02πr?  0 dEdt

μ0? 02πrddt  (E πr2 ) = μ0? 02πrπr2ddt  (E)

B= μ0? 0r2πrddt  (E)

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

An electromagnetic wave carries energy and momentum like other waves.

Since, it carries momentum, an electromagnetic wave also exerts pressure called radiation pressure. This property of electromagnetic waves helped professor CV Raman surprised his students by suspending freely a tiny light ball in a transparent vacuum chamber by shining a laser beam on it. The tails of the camets are also due to radiation pressure.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar

Consider and electromagnetic waves, let E be varying along y-axis, B is along z-axis and propagation of wave be along x-axis. Then E*B will tell the direction of propagation of

energy flow in electromagnetic wave, along x-axis.

E= E0sin (wt-kx)j

B=B0sin (wt=kx)k

So S will become E 0 B 0 μ 0 sin2 (wt-kx)i

And its variation with time is given below

Aaverage magnetic energy density Iav= 1 2 B 2 μ 0 c

From eqn we know that B=12 * 10 - 8

= 1 2 * ( 12 * 10 - 8 ) 2 * 3 * 10 8 4 π * 10 - 7 = 1.71W/m2

Xc=1/2 π f c

And displacement current is inversely proportional to Xc so when capacitive reactance increases then displacement current will decrease.
