The following figure shows an $AC$ generator connected to a 'black box' through a pair of terminals. The box contains possible $R, L, C$ or their combination,whose elements and arrangements are not known to us. Measurements outside the box reveal that $e = 75 \sin(\omega t) \text{ V}$ and $i = 1.5 \sin(\omega t + 45^\circ) \text{ A}$. Then,the wrong statement is:

  • A
    There must be a capacitor in the box.
  • B
    There must be an inductor in the box.
  • C
    There must be a resistance in the box.
  • D
    The power factor is $0.707$.

Three alternating voltage sources $V_1 = 3 \sin \omega t \text{ V}$,$V_2 = 5 \sin(\omega t + \phi_1) \text{ V}$,and $V_3 = 5 \sin(\omega t - \phi_2) \text{ V}$ are connected in series with a resistor $R = \sqrt{\frac{7}{3}} \, \Omega$ as shown in the figure (where $\phi_1 = 30^\circ$ and $\phi_2 = 127^\circ$). Find the peak current (in Ampere) through the resistor.

What is the reason we prefer $A.C.$ voltage over $D.C.$ voltage for power transmission?

Assertion : In the purely resistive element of a series $LCR$ $AC$ circuit,the maximum value of $rms$ current increases with an increase in the angular frequency of the applied $e.m.f$.
Reason : $I_{\max} = \frac{\varepsilon_{\max}}{Z}$,where $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C})^2}$ and $I_{\max}$ is the peak current in a cycle.

In a series $LCR$ circuit,$R = 200 \, \Omega$ and the voltage and frequency of the main supply are $220 \, V$ and $50 \, Hz$ respectively. On taking out the capacitance from the circuit,the current lags behind the voltage by $30^\circ$. On taking out the inductor from the circuit,the current leads the voltage by $30^\circ$. The power dissipated in the $LCR$ circuit is......$W$.

In the given $AC$ circuit,when switch $S$ is at position $1$,the source $emf$ leads the current by $\pi / 6$. Now,if the switch is at position $2$,then
