Using the concept of force between two infinitely long parallel current carrying conductors, define one ampere of current. 

Solution

One ampere is the value of steady current which when maintained in each of the two very long, straight, parallel conductors of negligible cross section and placed one metre apart in vacuum, would produce on each of these conductors a force equal of 2 x 10-7 N/m of its length.

Two equal balls having equal positive charge ‘q’ coulombs are suspended by two insulating strings of equal length. What would be the effect on the force when a plastic sheet is inserted between the two? 

Solution

On inserting the plastic sheets between the two balls the force will decrease.

Why is the use of A.C. voltage preferred over D.C. voltage? Give two reasons. 

Solution

The reason why AC voltage is preferred over DC is because of the following reasons:

i) AC can be transmitted with much lower energy losses as compared to DC.

ii) Alternating current can be generated easily.
