Physics: CUET Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

What is the use of a Van de Graff generator?

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 9 - Question 2

Van de Graff generator is used to create a large amount of static electricity. A Van de Graff generator uses static electricity and a moving belt to charge a large metal sphere to a very high voltage. As the belt moves, electrons move from the rubber belt to the silicon roller, causing the belt to become positively charged and the roller to become negatively charged. As a result, it builds up positive charge.

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 9 - Question 20
  • Both potentiometer and voltmeter are devices to measure potential difference.
  • EMF is the terminal p.d between the electrodes of a cell in open circuit, i.e., when no current is drawn from it.
  • Potentiometer measures the potential difference using null deflection method, where no current is drawn from the cell; whereas voltmeter needs a small current to show deflection.

Potentiometer measures the potential difference more accurately than a voltmeter, because

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 9 - Question 22

Potentiometer measures the potential difference using null deflection method, where no current is drawn from the cell; whereas voltmeter needs a small current to show deflection. So, accurate measurement of p.d is done using a potentiometer.

Detailed Solution for Physics: CUET Mock Test - 9 - Question 29

Thus, intensive recombinations of electrons and positive ions into neutral atoms and molecules occur. This results in the emission of light by the discharge, i.e., the negative glow is mainly due to a glow of recombination.
