Question
ICSEENIPH12029935

Explain the statement ‘Relative permittivity of water is 81’

Solution

Relative space permittivity comma space straight K space equals space straight epsilon over straight epsilon subscript straight o space equals space straight F subscript mod over straight F subscript straight o
For water K = 81;
This means the force between two charges in water is 81 times less than the force between charges in vacuum (or air).

When the cold junction of a certain thermo-couple was maintained at 20°C, its neutral temperature was found to be 180°C. Find its temperature of inversion.

Solution

Qnfraction numerator straight Q subscript 1 space plus space straight Q subscript 2 over denominator 2 end fraction

Here, 

Qn = 180o C ; Qc = 20o

180ofraction numerator straight Q subscript 1 space plus space 20 over denominator 2 end fraction  
Qi = 360 - 20 = 340o

State how the magnetic susceptibility of a ferromagnetic material changes when it is heated.

Solution

When a magnetic material is heated its magnetic susceptibility decreases.
