    Poisson's Ratio (? ) is used when a material is subjected to axial stress. It is the ratio of lateral strain to longitudinal strain. Mathematically, it is:

    Derivation of the Poisson Ratio includes when a material is stretched, its width decreases (called lateral strain) and its length increases which is called longitudinal strain.

    Poisson's Ratio (? ) is a dimensionless quantity and it is normally between a range of 0 to 0.5 for most materials. It is used in engineering applications including for bridge and building design. It is used in analyzing the structural deformations. Materials like rubber which has a high Poisson's ratio when s

There are three main processes Isothermal, adiabatic and cyclic process. In isothermal, the system is thermally conductive and the temperature remains constant. In adiabatic process, the system is thermally isolated and there is no change in heat temperature. The system returns to its initial stage in the cyclic process.

In NEET entrance test, the weightage of Class 11 Physics Chapter 11 Thermodynamics is around 7%. Students should thoroughly understand the thermodynamic laws and internal energy. The medical entrance test includes theory and numerically-based questions. For JEE Main, the chapter has more significance, and it has nearly 15% weightage of the total Physics syllabus.

Let us consider a vector P? . The equation can be written as

Px = Py = 1 P? = (Px2+Py2) P? = (12+12)P? = 2 …….(i)

So the magnitude of vector i? + j? = 2

Let θ be the angle made by vector P? , with the x axis as given in the above figure

tan?θ = Px/Pyθ = tan-1?(1/1) , θ = 45 ° with the x axis

Let Q? = i? - j?

Qx?i? – Qy? j? = ( i? – j?)

Qx? = Qy? = 1

Q? = Qx2+Qy2 = 2

Hence Q? = 2 . Therefore the magnitude of ( i? + j?) = 2

Let θ
