Class 11 Physics Chapter 13 – Concepts Covered

Boyle’s Law: According to this law, the volume (V) of a fixed mass of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure (P) of that gas, given that the temperature of the gas is kept constant.

V ∝ 1/P or PV = constant

Charle’s Law: The volume (V) of a given mass of a gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas, given that the pressure of the gas remains constant.

V ∝ T or VT = constant
V₁T₂= V₂T₂

Gay Lussac’s Law: The pressure P of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its absolute temperature T, given that the volume V of the gas remains constant.

P ∝ T or PT = constant
P₁T₁= P₂T₂

Equation of State of An Ideal Gas: The relation between pressure, volume, and absolute temperature of a gas is known as its equation of state.

PV = nRT

n is the number of moles of the gas and R is the molar gas constant which is equal to 8.315 JK^-1mol^-1

Dalton’s Law of Partial Pressures states that the net pressure applied by a mixture of non-interacting gases is equivalent to the sum of their pressures.

P = P₁ + P₂ + ------- + P_n

A charged particle $+q$ in an electric field $\vec{E}$ experiences a force in the direction of the electric field. As a result, its kinetic energy changes. Similarly, the charged particle also experiences a force when it moves in a magnetic field $\vec{B}$. But this magnetic force is perpendicular to both velocity $\vec{v}$ of the charged particle and the magnetic field $\vec{B}$, so it cannot change the kinetic energy of the charged particle. Consider two charged particles 1 and 2 of masses $m$ and $\frac{m}{2}$ having charges $-q$ and $+2q$ respectively. They are accelerated from rest through the same potential difference $V$ and acquire kinetic energy $K_1$ and $K_2$. Then they enter in a region of uniform magnetic field $\vec{B}$ perpendicular to their velocities.

Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow.
A p-type or n-type semiconductor can be converted into a p-n junction by doping it with suitable impurity. The motion of majority charge carriers causes diffusion current across the junction while the barrier electric field causes motion of minority carriers for drift current. In case of unbiased diode, the diffusion and drift currents are equal. This equilibrium is disturbed by the biasing batteries. Diodes, therefore, allow currents in one direction. This property of diode is used in making rectifiers.
