- An oxygen cylinder of volume 30 litre has 18.20 moles of oxygen. After some oxygen is withdrawn from the cylinder, its gauge pressure drops to 11 atmospheric pressure at temperature \(27^\circ\)C. The mass of the oxygen withdrawn from the cylinder is nearly equal to: [Given, \(R = \frac{100}{12} \text{ J mol}^{-1} \text{K}^{-1}\), and molecular mass of \(O_2 = 32 \text{ g/mol}\), 1 atm pressure = \(1.01 \times 10^5 \text{ N/m}^2\)]

- The plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant \(K_1\) and \(K_2\) with thickness \(d/2\) and \(d/2\) respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If \(K_1 = 1.25 K_2\), the value of \(K_2\) is :

Some Natural Phenomena
A naturally occurring process that occurs without any human input is known as Natural Phenomena. For instance, weather, gravity, fog, erosion, thunder, tides, biological processes, oscillation, etc. Winds, storms, and cyclones are some examples of natural phenomena. These are phenomena of destruction. Two other destructive natural phenomena are also discussed below:
- A natural phenomenon in which the surface of the earth starts trembling and shaking due to disturbances deep inside the earth’s crust is called an earthquake.
- A blinding flash of light with the sound of thunder during a thunderstorm is known as lightning. It is also the movement of energy from cloud to cloud or from space to ground.
