Draw a graph to show variation of capacitive-reactance with frequency in an a.c. circuit.
The field lines of a negative point charge are as shown in the figure. Does the kinetic energy of a small negative charge increase or decrease in going from B to A?
In a meter bridge shown in the figure, the balance point is found to be 40 cm from end A. If a resistance of 10 is connected in series with R, balance point is obtained 60 cm from A. Calculate the values of R and S.
A series LCR circuit is connected across an a.c. source of variable angular frequency ‘’. Plot a graph showing variation of current 'i' as a function of ‘’ for two resistances R1 and R2 (R1 > R2).
Answer the following questions using this graph:
(a) In which case is the resonance sharper and why?
(b) In which case in the power dissipation more and why?State Lenz's law. Illustrate, by giving an example, how this law helps in predicting the direction of the current in a loop in the presence of a changing magnetic flux.
