This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
An inductor opposes flow of current through it by developing a back emf according to Lenz's law. The induced voltage has a polarity so as to maintain the current at its present value. If the current is decreasing, the polarity of the induced emf will be so as to increase the current and vice -versa.
Since, the induced emf is proportional to the rate of change of current, it will provide greater reactance to the flow of current if the rate of change is faster, i.e., if the frequency is higher. The reactance of an inductor, therefore, is proportional to the frequency. Mat

This is a Multiple Choice Questions as classified in NCERT Exemplar
Answer- (a, b, d)
Explanation-Consider the pattern of the intensity shown in the figure
(i) As intensities of all successive minima is zero, hence we can say that two sources S1 and S2 are having same intensities.
(ii) As width of the successive maxima (pulses) increases in continuous manner, we can say that the path difference (x) or phase difference varies in continuous manner.
(iii) We are using monochromatic light in YDSE to avoid overlapping and to have very clear pattern on the screen.

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
A capacitor does not allow flow of direct current through it as the resistance across the gap is infinite. When an alternating voltage is applied across the capacitor plates, the plates are alternately charged and discharged. The current through the capacitor is a result of this changing voltage (or charge).
Thus, a capacitor will pass more current through it if the voltage is changing at a faster rate, i.e. if the frequency of supply is higher. This implies that the reactance offered by a capacitor is less with increasing frequency.
Mathematically, the reactance can be

Answer- d
Explanation- According to question, there is a hole at point P2. From Huygen's principle, wave will propagates from the sources S1 and S2. Each point on the screen will acts as secondary sources of wavelets. Now, there is a hole at point P2 (minima). The hole will act as a source of fresh light for the slits S3 and S4.
Therefore, there will be a regular two slit pattern on the second screen

Ps=60W, Is= 0.54 A
P=VI, V= 60/0.54= 110V
Voltage in the secondary is less than voltage in primary so transformer is step down transformer
As transformation ratio is, k = Es/Ep= Ip/Is
110/220=Ip/0.54A
Ip= 0.27A

Answer – (c)
Explanation- For the interference pattern to be formed on the screen, the sources should be coherent and emits lights of same frequency and wavelength. In a Young's double-slit experiment, when one of the holes is covered by a red filter and another by a blue filter. In this case due to filteration only red and blue lights are present. In YDSE monochromatic light is used for the formation of fringes on the screen. Hence, in this case there shall be no interference fringes.

Answer- a
Explanation- due to refraction from the glass medium there is a phase change of
= =

According to snells law n= sin /sinr
Cosr =
= ( )
Phase difference = = = ( )
So net difference = = ( )-1/2+

This is a short answer type question as classified in NCERT Exemplar
For a Direct Current (DC),
1ampere= 1coulomb/sec
An AC current changes direction with the source frequency and the attractive force would average to zero. Thus, the AC ampere must be defined in terms of some property that is independent of the direction of current.
Joule's heating effect is such property and hence it is used to define rms value of AC.

(a) We know that P= VI

that is curve of power will be having maximum amplitude, equals to multiplication of amplitudes of voltage (V)and current (I) curve. So, the curve will be represented by A.
(b) As shown by shaded area in the diagram, the full cycle of the graph consists of one positive and one negative symmetrical area. Hence average power over a cycle is zero.

(c) As the average power is zero, hence the device may be inductor (L) or capacitor (C) or the series combination of L and C.
