Potentiometer (Potential Gradient)

A  10m long wire of 20 ῼ resistance is  used as a potentiometer wire This wire is connected with a 5V battery along an external resistance of 480 ῼ If an unknown emf E is balanced at 600 cm calculate 1) potential gradient 2) the value of E



1)      The total resistance =480+20 =500 ῼ
So the current in the circuit=5/500=1/100 A
Potential drop across the wire= 20 × (1/100)=1/5 V
. . . Potential Gradient =potential drop per unit length= (1/5) / 10= 1/50 v/m
2)  The unknown emf E= Potential gradient × Balancing length
E=(1/50) × 6= 6/50 V

Graphs and Level curves of functions of Two variables Definitions The set of points (x,y) in the plane where a function f (x,y) has a constant value f(x,y)=c is called a level curve of f The set of all points (x,y,f (x,y)) in space, for (x,y) in the domain of f, is called the graph of f The graph of f is called the surface z=f (x,y) The equation of the following hyperbolic paraboloid is `z=50+x^2-y^2`

IBM Q computing using QIS kit had made quantum computing very simple we can embed the python code for quantum computing in IBM Q notebook without much mess. We can run the code in simulator and interestingly we can run the code even in  IBM quantum computing device!!!!
