ELECTRIC POTENTIAL

  Electric potential :-         C url of electrical field is zero therefore, electric field is conservative field. Scalar potential is defined only for conservative field.        In the following we first show that curl of electric field is zero . We know field of a point charge at the origin.      If we take the integral along a closed path Then, . Apply Stoke theorm   Here,  This result can be generalised for any charge distribution using the principal of superposition. The general result is

HYSTERESIS

  HYSTERESIS (B-H CURVE) :           C onsider a ferromagnetic substance (iron bar) is placed in a magnetizing field. As magnetizing field H is slowly increased, the intensity of magnetization also increases. The graphical representation of the extent of magnetization at different value of H. To start with H = 0 and magnetization B is also zero. As H increases B also increases along the curve OA. State of saturation is reached at A  and further increases of H will not increase B.           Now if we decrease H , the demagnetization of the sample does not take place along the curve AO. Thus  as H is decreased and becomes zero then it is seen that B does not become zero but has the value OG called retentivity. Hence demagnetisation lags behind the magnetizing field H. This phenomena in which B lags behind the magnetizing field H is called Hysteresis. The residual magnetism left behind in the magnetic substance when magn...

Lattice vibration

  LATTICE VIBRATION:-      E very atom has a tendency to vibrate about their mean position at temperature above zero Kelvin. The mean position is referred as the Bravais lattice site . These vibrations occur due to interatomic interactions. As the atoms in the solids are present at lattice sites , so these vibrations are called lattice vibrations. Fig.1            Lattice vibration are the results of absorption of heat energy. A lattice is an array of atoms connected with each other by elastic springs or strings .      Here all the atoms present at lattice sites are coupled and the motion of one single atom is shared by the neighbouring atoms. Thus the crystal vibrates on a whole . The dynamic external forces which are responsible for the vibrations obey Hooke's law. It is assumed that the amplitude of the vibrations are small as compared to the interatomic spacing. Harmonic approximation is valid for lattice vibrations. T...
