Q30. Case Study Based Question: Photoelectric effect

It is the phenomenon of emission of electrons from a metallic surface when light of a suitable
frequency is incident on it. The emitted electrons are called photoelectrons.

Nearly all metals exhibit this effect with ultraviolet light but alkali metals like lithium, sodium,
potassium, cesium etc. show this effect even with visible light. It is an instantaneous process i.e.
photoelectrons are emitted as soon as the light is incident on the metal surface. The number of
photoelectrons emitted per second is directly proportional to the intensity of the incident radiation.
The maximum kinetic energy of the photoelectrons emitted from a given metal surface is
independent of the intensity of the incident light and depends only on the frequency of the incident
light. For a given metal surface there is a certain minimum value of the frequency of the incident
light below which emission of photoelectrons does not occur.

It is a device used to convert mechanical energy into electrical energy

Principle: It is based on the principle of electromagnetic induction. When a closed coil is rotated rapidly in a strong
magnetic field, the magnetic flux linked with the coil changes continuously. Hence an emf is induced in the coil and a
current flows in it. In fact, the mechanical energy expended in rotating the coil appears as electrical energy in the coil.
1M
Construction: Main Parts 1M
1. Armature: It is a rectangular coil ABCD having a large number of turns of insulated copper wire wound on
a soft-iron core. The use of soft-iron core increases the magnetic flux linked with the armature.

2. Field Magnet: It a strong electromagnet having concave pole pieces N and S. The armature is rotated
between these pole pieces about an axis perpendicular to the magnetic field.

3. Slip Rings: The leads from the armature coil ABCD are connected to two copper rings R1 and R2 called
the ‘slip rings’. These rings are concentric with the axis of the armature coil and rotate with it.

4. Brushes: These are two carbon pieces B 1 and B2 called brushes which remain stationary pressing against
the slip rings R1 and R2 respectively. The brushes are connected to an external circuit.

Working Theory : When the coil ABCD is rotated inside the field, an emf is induced between its two ends. Let
the plane of the coil be at right angles to the magnetic field at t = 0 and angular speed of the rotation of the coil
be ω. Then at time t, θ = ωt. The magnetic flux linked with the coil at time t is
ϕ = n BA cosωt

(a)TRANSFORMER

Use: It is a device which converts low ac voltage at high current into high ac voltage at low current and vice –
versa.

Principle: It consists of two coils P and S wound on a closed soft iron core. The coil which is fed from the ac
supply is called primary coil (P) and the other connected to the load is called secondary coil (S). The core of the
transformer is made of soft -iron to reduce hysteresis loss and is laminated to reduce eddy current losses.
1M

Working: When an alternating emf e p is impressed on the primary winding it sends an ac current through it
which sets up an alternating magnetic flux in the core. This induces an alternating emf es in the secondary. If NP
and Ns are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil, their linkages with the flux are

In a step- up transformer Ns > Np, es > ep but is < ip
In a step-down transformer Ns < Np, es < ep but is > ip
At the generating station a step-up transformer is used for stepping up the voltage and at the various receiving
substations a step-down transformer is used

0.5M
(b) The two sources of energy losses are eddy current losses and flux leakage losses. 1M
(c) There is no violation of the principle of the conservation of energy in a step up transformer. When output
voltage increases the output current decreases automatically keeping the power the same.
