If\( \begin{vmatrix} p & q - y & r - z \\ p - x & q & r - z \\ p - x & q - y & r \end{vmatrix} = 0 \),then the value of \( \dfrac{p}{x} + \dfrac{q}{y} + \dfrac{r}{z} \) is
Two plano-concave lenses (1 and 2) of glass of refractive index 1.5 have radii of curvature 25 cm and 20 cm. They are placed in contact with their curved surfaces towards each other and the space between them is filled with liquid of refractive index 4/3. The combination is
Two concentric conducting spherical shells A and B having radii rA and rB (rB>rA) are charged to +2q and -q respectively. The electric field along a line passing through the centre is
Two conducting shells of radius a and b are connected by a conducting wire as shown in the figure. The capacity of the system is
One mole of an ideal gas is taken from state A to state B by three different processes, (i) ACB (ii) ADB (iii) AEB as shown in the P–V diagram. The heat absorbed by the gas is
A meter bridge is set up as shown to determine an unknown resistance X using a standard 10 ohm resistor. The galvanometer shows null point at 52 cm mark. The end corrections are 1 cm and 2 cm respectively for the ends A and B. The determined value of X is
On a hypotenuse of a right angled prism of liquid is placed as shown in the figure. Light is allowed to fall normally on the short face of the prism. In order that the ray of light may be totally reflected, the maximum value of refractive index is
