Question
Assertion : When a gas is allowed to expand, work done by gas is positive.
Reason : Force due to gaseous pressure and displacement (of piston) are in the same direction.

Answer

(a) Since the gaseous pressure and the displacement(ofpiston)areinthesamedirection.Therefore$\theta=0^{\circ}$$\therefore$ Work done $=F_s \cos \theta=F_s=$ PositiveThus during expansion work done by gas is positive.

Assertion : When capacitive reactance is smaller than the inductive reactance in $L C R$ current, e.m.f. leads the current .
Reason : The phase angle is the angle between the alternating e.m.f. and alternating current of the circuit.
Assertion : Angle of repose is equal to angle of limiting friction.
Reason : When the body is just at the point of motion, the force of friction in this stage is called as limiting friction.
