  • A
    Always leads the voltage
  • B
    Always lags behind the voltage
  • C
    Is always in phase with the voltage
  • D

In the shown $AC$ circuit,the phase difference between currents $I_1$ and $I_2$ is:

An $AC$ generator consists of a coil of $100$ turns and is of cross-sectional area $3 \ m^2$. It is rotating at a constant angular speed of $60 \ rad \ s^{-1}$ in a uniform magnetic field of $0.04 \ T$. The resistance of the coil is $360 \ \Omega$. What is the maximum power dissipation in the coil (in $W$)?

The power is transmitted from a power house on high voltage $ac$ because

Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$ : In an $LCR$ series circuit,current is maximum at resonance.
Statement $II$ : Current in a purely resistive circuit can never be less than that in a series $LCR$ circuit when connected to the same voltage source.
In the light of the above statements,choose the correct option from the options given below :

Given below are two statements $:$ one is labelled as Assertion $(A)$ and the other is labelled as Reason $(R).$
Assertion $(A) :$ Choke coil is simply a coil having a large inductance but a small resistance. Choke coils are used with fluorescent mercury-tube fittings. If household electric power is directly connected to a mercury tube,the tube will be damaged.
Reason $(R):$ By using the choke coil,the voltage across the tube is reduced by a factor $\left(R / \sqrt{R^2+\omega^2 L^2}\right)$,where $\omega$ is the angular frequency of the supply,$R$ is the resistance,and $L$ is the inductance. If the choke coil were not used,the voltage across the tube would be the same as the applied voltage. In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below $:$
