MCQ
In a purely inductive circuit, the current:
  • A
    is in phase with the voltage
  • B
    is out of phase with the voltage
  • C
    leads the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$
  • D
    lags behind the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Answer

  1. lags behind the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Explanation:

In a purely inductive circuit (an AC circuit containing inductance only) the current lags behind the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$

Free 238U nuclei kept in a train emit alpha particles. When the train is stationary and a uranium nucleus decays, a passenger measures that the separation between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus becomes x in time t after the decay. If a decay takes place when the train is moving at a uniform speed v, the distance between the alpha particle and the recoiling nucleus at a time t after the decay, as measured by the passenger will be:
  1. x + vt
  2. x - vt
  3. x
  4. depends on the direction of the train.
