A molecule of a substance has a permanent electric dipole moment of magnitude \(10^{-31} C m\).
One mole of this substance is \(100 \%\) polarised by applying a strong electrostatic field of magnitude \(10^8 V m ^{-1}\).
The direction of the field is suddenly changed by an angle of \(60^{\circ}\).
Find the heat released by the substance in aligning its dipoles along the new direction of the field.
(Take 1 mole \(=6 \times 10^{23}\) molecules)
- A -9 J
- B -3 J
- C 9 J
- D 3 J
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) 3 J
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(U_i = -pE \cos(60^\circ)\) \(U_f = -pE \cos(0^\circ)\) \(\Delta U = U_f - U_i = -pE - (-pE/2) = -pE/2\) \(Q = -N_A \Delta U = -N_A (-pE/2) = N_A pE/2\) \(Q = (6 \times 10^{23}) (10^{-31} C m) (10^8 V m^{-1}) / 2\) \(Q = 3 J\)

DRUGS AND ALCOHOL ABUSE
The drugs, commonly abused are opioids, cannabinoids, and coca alkaloids. Opioids are the drugs, which bind to specific opioid receptors present in our central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract. Heroin, commonly called smack is chemically diacetylmorphine which is a white, odourless, bitter crystalline compound. Cannabinoids are a group of chemicals, which interact with cannabinoid receptors present principally in the brain. Natural cannabinoids are obtained from the inflorescences of the plant Cannabis sativa. The flower tops, leaves and the resin of cannabis plant are used in various combinations to produce marijuana, hashish, charas and ganja. Generally taken by inhalation and oral ingestion, these are known for their effects on cardiovascular system of the body. It interferes with the transport of the neuro-transmitter dopamine. Cocaine, commonly called coke or crack is usually snorted. It has a potent stimulating action on central nervous system, producing a sense of euphoria and increased energy. Excessive dosage of cocaine causes hallucinations. Other well-known plants with hallucinogenic properties are Atropa belladona and Datura. These days cannabinoids are also being abused by some sportspersons. Drugs like barbiturates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, and other similar drugs, that are normally used as medicines to help patients cope with mental illnesses like depression and insomnia, are often abused. Morphine is a very effective sedative and painkiller, and is very useful in patients who have undergone surgery. Several plants, fruits and seeds having hallucinogenic properties have been used for hundreds of years in folk-medicine, religious ceremonies and rituals all over the globe.
