The current flowing through a conductor is given by I = neAvd.Â
(i) Identify each term in the equation.
(ii) Obtain an expression for vd, if the current flowing through the conductor of length I has its ends maintained at a potential difference of V volts.
(i) Write an expression for Biot-Savart’s law in the vector form. Write an expression for the magnetic field at the centre of a circular coil of radius R, with N turns and carrying a current I.Â
(ii) A helium nucleus completes one round of a circle of radius 0.8 m in 2 seconds. Find the magnetic field at the centre of the circle.
(i) Derive an expression for the fringe width ‘y’ in Young’s double slit experiment. Use X as the wavelength of the monochromatic source, D as the distance of the screen from the slits and d as the distance of separation between the slits.
(ii) How does the fringe pattern change if the monochromatic source of light in the above experiment is replaced by a white source of light ?
(i)
Expression for fringe width : Considering a point P at a distance x from C. The path difference between two waves arriving at P.
  = BP -APÂ
 Â
Â
where n = 0, 1, ....
for, and dark fringe (minima)
So fringe width Y is defined as the distance between two consecutive dark fringe or distance between two consecutive bright fringe.
So,Â
  Y = xn - xn - 1
 Â
ii)
When we use a source of white light containing light of different colours i.e. (different wavelength X), they at a particular point, constructive interference may be satisfied only for some particular value of X.
Thus, the colour corresponding to this value of X alone shall be visible at that point. Hence the interference fringe will be coloured.
