Question

In an ac circuit with voltage V and current I, the power dissipated is

  1. VI    
  2. fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 end fraction V I    
  3. fraction numerator 1 over denominator square root of 2 end fraction V I    
  4. Depends on the phase between V and I    

The correct answer is: Depends on the phase between V and I


    because P equals V i cos invisible function application phi comma therefore P proportional to cos invisible function application phi

    The figure shows four wire loops, with edge lengths of either L or 2L. All four loops will move through a region of uniform magnetic field stack B with rightwards arrow on top (directed out of the page) at the same constant velocity. Rank the four loops according to the maximum magnitude of the e.m.f. induced as they move through the field, greatest first

    Assertion : The induced emf in a conducting loop of wire will be non zero when it rotates in a uniform magnetic field.
    Reason : The emf is induced due to change in magnetic flux.
