Photocell working principle class 12

Photocell The photocell (light cell) is a craft technological application of the photoelectric effect. The photocell is a device that converts light energy into electrical energy. It is sometimes called the electric eye. A photocell consists of a semi-cylindrical light-sensitive metal plate C (emitter) and a wire loop (loop) A (collector) mounted in a vacuum … Read more

Percentage error numerical questions

Error Analysis, Percentage Error *Numerical questions*   1. The width of a road of 20 meters is measured with the help of a 1 meter long rod. What is the maximum percentage error that can occur from this measurement? Solution- x=20 m ∆x=1 m  percent error, =(∆x/x)×100 =(1/20)×100 =5%   2. The length of a … Read more

Dimensions of physical quantities | Dimentional Question Answer

Dimensions Of Physical Quantities The dimensions of any physical quantity are those powers which are raised to the basic units to express the unit of that quantity. To write the dimensions of physical quantities in mechanical and thermodynamics, the basic units for length, time, mass, and temperature are represented by L, T, M, and θ … Read more

How to form a black hole

what is black hole | how to form a black hole

Black Hole   The future of a neutron star depends on its mass. It is estimated that the contraction of heavy neutron stars can occur indefinitely. In the same order, when a neutron star of mass m shrinks to obtain radius r=2Gm/c²,it becomes a black hole. Michel first envisaged the existence of a black hole. … Read more

Physical World  The correct concept of force is given by Newton’s laws of motion. We experience many forces in the micro world as well as in the macro world. Gravitational force and electromagnetic force are experienced in the physical world. Because the range of both of them is infinite. Whereas in the microscopic world, nuclear … Read more
