Maxwell's Distribution of Molecular Speeds - On plotting a fraction of molecules having different speeds against the speeds of the molecules (along x-axis) a curve known as Maxwell's distribution curve is obtained. The important features of which are: The fraction of molecules w..

The rms speed of an oxygen molecule in a sample at 300 K is about 480m/s. This does not mean that the speed of each molecule is 480 m/s. Many of the molecules have speed less than 480m/s and many have speed more than 480m/s. Maxwell derived an equation giving the distribut..

Electromagnetic theory of light was put forward by James Clerk Maxwell in 1873. According to this theory, light consists of fluctuating electric and magnetic fields propagating in the form of electromagnetic waves. But this theory failed to explain the photoelectric effe..

The direction of the magnetic field around a current carrying conductor can be explained by a simple rule known as Maxwell's right hand grip rule. If we hold the current carrying wire in our right hand in such a way that the thumb is stretched along the direction of the current, then the ..

In 1856, James Clark Maxwell proposed that light and other forms of radiant energy propagate themselves in the form of waves, through space. These waves have electric and magnetic fields associated with them and are called electromagnetic waves or electromagnetic radiatio..

The direction of magnetic field around a current carrying conductor can be determined by using one of the laws given here. Rule Pictorial Representation Right Hand Thumb Rule Imagine that you are holding the conductor in your right hand with the fingers curled around it. If the thum..

Question: The direction of induced curent is obtained by 1. Fleming's left-hand rule 2. Maxwell's right-hand thumb rule 3. Ampere's rule 4. Fleming's right-hand rule Answer: ..

Electromagnetic Nature of Light - In 1856, James Clark Maxwell proposed that light and other forms of radiant energy propagate themselves in the form of waves, through space. These waves have electric and magnetic fields associated with them and are called electromagnetic waves or electro..

>To keep account of the various ways in which energy can be stored in a gas, James Clerk Maxwell introduced the theorem of the Equipartition of energy. Every kind of molecule has a certain number of degrees of freedom, which are independent ways in which the molecule can store energy. Eve..
