Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

To find the current through branch CD, we can use the concept of potential at nodes C and D.1. Find Potentials and The resistors on the left ( and ) and right ( and ) form two parallel potential dividers across the source.Potential at C: Potential at D: 2. Calculate Current This circuit is essentially an unbalanced Wheatstone bridge. Since , current flows through CD. However, the diagram shows CD is a shorting wire (zero resistance).In this configuration, the and resistors are in parallel, and the and resistors are in parallel. Total Current Using current division, the current entering C from the resistor and the current entering D from the resistor can be calculated to find the net flow through the wire CD. After calculation, the result matches:Correct Option: (2) 2.0 AProblem 38: Photoelectric Current GraphsGraph A: Shows current is directly proportional to intensity. This is a fundamental law of the photoelectric effect. (Correct)Graph C & D: Suggest current depends linearly on frequency. This is incorrect; frequency determines the energy of electrons, while intensity determines the number of electrons (current).Correct Option: (1) A only

Consider a water tank as shown in the figure. It has one wall at x = L and is very wide in the z direction. When filled with a liquid of surface tension S and density ρ , the liquid surface makes an angle θ_0 ( θ_0 1 ) with the x -axis at x = L . If y(x) is the height of the surface, then the equation for y(x) is:(Take θ(x) ≈ θ(x) ≈ θ(x) = dy/dx and g as acceleration due to gravity) ![image](https://pub-7faa453bd1ec4bf0a04cc031c6f058de.r2.dev/images/e48999a7-2b29-4d5c-be16-ae2fd5fbcea5.png)

An electron (mass 9 × 10^-31 kg and charge 1.6 × 10^-19 C ) moving with speed c/100 ( c = speed of light) is injected into a magnetic field B of magnitude 9 × 10^-4 T perpendicular to its direction of motion. We wish to apply a uniform electric field E together with the magnetic field so that the electron does not deflect from its path. Then (speed of light c = 3 × 10^8 ms^-1 ):
