Solenoid in open circuit and with glavanometer attached

AI Thread Summary
The experiment involves a solenoid first in an open circuit and then connected to a galvanometer while a magnet is pushed into it. In the open circuit, no current flows, so no measurable results are observed. When the solenoid is connected to the galvanometer, the movement of the magnet induces an electromotive force (emf), generating a current that can be measured. This demonstrates energy conversion from mechanical to electrical energy, as the motion of the magnet creates a change in magnetic flux. The presence of the galvanometer allows for the observation of this induced emf, highlighting the differences in outcomes between the two scenarios.

1.A student performs an expierment on a soenoid. The solenoid is open circuit in the first instance, the studet then pushes a magnet into one end with a constant force.

the second instance, the solenoid is connected to a galvanometer. Using the concept of energy conversion, relate and explain the results of her experiment.



2. No needed equations. Qualitative results needed.



3. I know it generates an emf, but doesn't it do the same thing in both?

Well you didn't give the results ...

why you think there wil be emf in second case

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
