The ear is divided into three parts that are: The outer ear, the inner ear and the middle ear.

The outer ear and the middle ear collects and transmits the sound waves but it is the inner ear which converts sound waves into an electrical impulse as the inner ear consists of cochlea which is a snail shaped organ, lined with delicate cilia which is responsible for converting the sound waves to electrical impulse.

When the vibration is received from the middle ear, the vibrations of these cilia is converted to nerve impulses which are transmitted by auditory nerve to the brain for the interpretation as the sound.

That's in the cochlea, in the inner ear.

A force of 100. newtons is used to move an object a distance of 15 meters with a power of 25 watts. Find the time it takes to do

Flauer [41]

<h3>It takes 60 seconds to do the work</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Force = 100 newtons

Distance = 15 meters

Power = 25 watts

To find: time it takes to do the work

$work = force \times displacement\\\\work = 100\ newtons \times 15\ meters\\\\work = 1500\ joule$

<em><u>Find the time taken</u></em>

$power = \frac{work}{time}\\\\25\ watts = \frac{1500\ joule}{time}\\\\time = \frac{1500\ joule}{25\ watt}\\\\time = 60\ second$

Thus it takes 60 seconds to do the work

2. the dipole moment of a dipole in a 300-n/c electric field is initially perpendicular to the field, but it rotates so it is in

<h3>What is Electric dipole?</h3>

A pair of opposite, non-coplanar, equally powerful electric charges that are in opposition to one another. An atom is said to have a "induced electric dipole" if the center of the negative cloud of electrons has moved a little bit away from the nucleus due to an external electric field. When the external field is taken away, dipolarity is lost.

Electric field (E) = 300 N/C

Dipole moment (p) = 2 x 10° Cm

Solution:

From the formula we know.

U = -pE cosФ

Here,

p Denotes Dipole moment.

E Denotes Electric field.

Ф Denotes angle b/w them

Now, as given, firstly the dipole is perpendicular to the electric field, so

angle (Ф1) will be 90° and now the dipole is rotated such that they are in same

direction so the angle (Ф2) will be 0°
