Recent American Newspaper published an interesting article on a hi-tech weapon system as follows.

Title : "Supergun that can destroy enemy 160km away"

"Electromagnetic railgun may be weapon of future"

By : MICHAEL E. RUANE,
The Washington Post
Published: December 19, 2010

Working discription : An electromagnetic railgun is a device that can fire projectiles using electromagnetic
energy instead of chemical energy. A schematic of a typical railgun is shown in the figure.

XII (A) Final Test [Paper-II] Page # 2

 The operation of the railgun is simple. Current flows from the current source into the top rail, through a
movable, conducting armature into the bottom rail, then back to the current source. The current in the
two rails produces a magnetic field directly proportional to the amount of current. This field produces a
force on the charges moving through the movable armature. The force pushes the armature and the
projectile along the rails.
For a given current, the force and the magnetic field will be constant along the entire length of the railgun.
The detectors placed outside the railgun give off a signal when the projectile passes them. This information
can be used to determine the exit speed vi and kinetic energy of the projectile. The projectile mass, rail
current, and exit speed for four different trails are listed in the table.
Projectile Mass (kg) Rail current (A) Exit speed (km/s)
0.01 10.0 2.0
0.01 15.0 3.0
0.02 10.0 1.4
0.04 10.0 1.0
Q.7 For a given mass, if the current were decreased by a factor of 2, the new exit speed v would be equal to
(A) vi (B) vi / 4 (C) vi / 2 (D*) vi / 2
Q.8
,, Lengthening the rails would increase the exit speed because of
(A) An increase rails resistance (B) A stronger magnetic field between the rails
(C) A larger force on the armature (D*) A longer distance over which the force is present
Q.9 A projectile with a mass of 0.08 kg that is propelled by a rail current of 20.0 a will have approximately
what exit speed?
(A) 0.7 km/s (B) 1.0 km/s (C*) 1.4 km/s (D) 2.0 km/s
Paragraph for question nos. 10 to 12
De-Broglie hypothesized that material particles have wave like properties. Figure shows a small particle
in a box. The particle simply bounces back and forth at constant speed. As particles also have wave like
properties it can be considered to be a wave reflecting back and forth from the ends of the box. The
reflections will create a standing wave analogous to standing wave on a string tied at both ends.
Since a standing wave confined to a region can have only selected wavelengths, momentum of the
particle is quantized. We can safely assume that such a particle only has kinetic energy. This energy must
also be quantized.
