Answer

  1. (c) $8.8\Omega$
Explanation:

Inductive reactance,

$\text{X}_\text{L}= \text{W}_\text{L}=2\pi\mu\text{L}$

$=2\pi\times100\times14\times10^{-3}$

$\text{X}_\text{L}=8.8\Omega$
  1. (b) Inductor
  2. (b) 90º
Explanation:

In an inductor vol tag: leads the current by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ or current lags the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}.$
  1. (b) 1H
Explanation:

The current in the inductor coil is given by,

$\text{I}_0=\frac{\text{E}_0}{\text{X}_\text{L}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\text{E}_\text{V}}{2\pi\mu\text{L}}$

$\text{L}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\text{E}_\text{V}}{2\pi\mu\text{I}_0}=\frac{1.414\times200}{2\times3.14\times50\times0.9}=1\text{H}$
  1. (a) 0.337A
Explanation:

Inductive reactance,

$\text{X}_\text{L}= \text{W}_\text{L}=2\pi\mu\text{L}$

$=2\pi\times3.14\times50\times2=628\Omega$

$\text{I}_0=\frac{\text{E}_0}{\text{X}_\text{L}}$

$\Rightarrow\text{I}_0=\frac{\sqrt{2}\times\text{E}_\text{V}}{\text{X}_\text{L}}=\frac{\sqrt{2}\times150}{628}=0.337\text{A}$

Smallest charge that can exist in nature is the charge of an electron. During friction, it is only the transfer of electrons which makes the body charged. Hence, net charge on any body is an integral multiple of charge of an electron$ [1.6 x 10^{-19}C]$ i.e. q = ± ne Where $n = 1, 2, 3, 4,....$

Hence, no body can have a charge represented as 1.1 e, 2. 7e, $\frac{3}{5}\text{e,}$ etc. Recently, it has been discovered that elementary particles such as protons or neutrons are composed of more elemental units called quarks.

Rectifier is a device which is used for converting alternating current or voltage into direct current or voltage.
