$A$ resistor $R$, an inductor $L$, and a capacitor $C$ are connected in series with an a.c. source. When $L$ is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between voltage and current in the circuit is $\pi/3$. If instead, $C$ is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again $\pi/3$. The power factor of the circuit is

  • A
    $\sqrt{3}/2$
  • B
    $1/2$
  • C
    $1/\sqrt{2}$
  • D
    $1$

$A$ bulb is connected first with $DC$ and then $AC$ of the same voltage. In which case will it shine more brightly?

In domestic electric mains supply,the voltage and the current are

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 $W$)?

You are given many resistances,capacitors and inductors. These are connected to a variable $DC$ voltage source (the first two circuits) or an $AC$ voltage source of $50 \ Hz$ frequency (the next three circuits) in different ways as shown in Column $II$. When a current $I$ (steady state for $DC$ or rms for $AC$) flows through the circuit,the corresponding voltage $V_1$ and $V_2$ (indicated in circuits) are related as shown in Column $I$. Match the two.
