Question
When an AC source of emf 
is connected across a circuit, the phase difference between the E and the current i in the circuit is observed to be 
, as shown in the diagram. If the circuit consists possibly only of R-C or R-L or L-C series, find the relationship between the two elements.
The correct answer is:
Current leads emf so circuit is R – C.

Statement-1 : A spherical surface of radius of curvature R separates two media of refractive index n1 and n2 as shown. If an object O (a thin small rod) is placed upright on principal axis at a distance R from pole (i.e., placed at centre of curvature), then the size of image is same as size of object.
Statement-2 : If a point object is placed at centre of curvature of spherical surface separating two media of different refractive index, then the image is also formed at centre of curvature, i.e., image distance is equal to object distance.

STATEMENT–1 : Consider the arrangement shown below. A smooth conducting rod, CD, is lying on a smooth U-shaped conducting wire making good electrical contact with it. The U-shape conducting wire is fixed and lies in horizontal plane. There is a uniform and constant magnetic field B in vertical direction (perpendicular to plane of page in figure). If the magnetic field strength is decreased, the rod moves towards right.
STATEMENT–2 : In the situation of statement-1, the direction in which the rod will slide is that which tends to maintain constant flux through the loop. Providing a larger loop area counteracts the decrease in magnetic flux. So the rod moves to the right independent of the fact that the direction of magnetic field is into the page or out of the page.
