JEE Class main Answered

In figure, a resistance coil, wired to an external battery is placed inside a thermally insulated cylinder find with a frictionless piston and containing an ideal diatomic gas A current = 200 ma exists in the coil which has a resistance R=350Ω If the pressure of the gas remains constant what should be the speed v (in cm/s of the piston of mass m=10kg)?

Let us assume the dissipated heat in the resistance coil is absorbed by the enclosed gas in the cylinder.

Rate of heat dissipation is

begin mathsize 14px style fraction numerator d Q over denominator d t end fraction space equals space I to the power of 2 to the power of space end exponent R subscript c space equals space 0.2 space cross times space 0.2 space cross times 350 space equals space 14 space W end style

...................... (1)

where i is current through coil and R_c is resistance of coil .

For diatomic gas that is hetaed at constant pressure , heat dissipation is

begin mathsize 14px style fraction numerator d Q over denominator d t end fraction space equals space n space C subscript p subscript space end subscript fraction numerator d T over denominator d t end fraction end style

.............................. (2)

where n is number of moles , C_p=(7/2) R is constant volume specific heat, R is universal gas constant and

(dT/dt) is rate of change of increase of temperature.

From eqn.(1) and eqn.(2), we get

begin mathsize 14px style fraction numerator d T over denominator d t end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 14 over denominator n space C subscript p end fraction space equals space fraction numerator 14 over denominator n space cross times space 3.5 space R end fraction end style

For ideal gas , we have

begin mathsize 14px style V space equals space open parentheses fraction numerator n space R over denominator P end fraction close parentheses space T end style

when pressure is kept constant , rate of change of volume is

begin mathsize 14px style fraction numerator d V over denominator d T end fraction equals space open parentheses fraction numerator n R over denominator P end fraction close parentheses fraction numerator d T over denominator d t end fraction end style

Above expression can be written as

begin mathsize 14px style A space fraction numerator d h over denominator d t end fraction space equals space open parentheses fraction numerator n space R over denominator P end fraction close parentheses space fraction numerator d T over denominator d t end fraction end style

............................. (4)

where A is area of cross section of cylinder and dh/dt is rate of vertical displacement of piston with respect to time , i.e, (dh/dt) is speed of piston .

From eqn.(3) and (4) , we get speed of piston as
