(i) reactance;
(ii) impedance in an a.c.
The diagram here illustrates an a.c. generator. When the coil is rotated, an e.m.f is induced in the coil.
(i) Explain why an e.m.f. is induced.
(ii) State the purpose of the slip-rings.
(iii) Name and state the law used to determine the direction of the induced current.
(iv) State two ways to increase the induced e.m.f.
(c) A lamp is rated 12 V. 6 W. Calculate the amount of energy transformed by the lamp in 5 minutes.
(a) Define binding energy in an atom.
(b) List three evidence to support the claim that X-rays are electromagnetic waves.
(c) List three peaceful uses of nuclear energy.
(d) Light of wavelength 4.5 x 10\(^{-7}\) in is incident on a metal resulting in the emission of photo electrons. If the work function of the metal is 3.0 x 10\(^{-9}\) J, calculate the:
(i) frequency of the incident light;
(ii) energy of the incident light;
(iii) energy of the photoelectrons. [Speed of light = 3.0 x 10\(^8\) ms\(^{-1}\), h = 6.6 x 10\(^{-34}\) Js]
