In a series LCR circuit, the voltage across an inductor, capacitor and resistor are , and respectively. What is the phase difference between the applied voltage and the current in the circuit?

A rectangular frame made of a uniform metal wire has a straight connection between and made of the same wire as shown in the figure. is a square of side and . The entire circuit is placed in a steadily increasing uniform magnetic field directed into the plane of the paper and normal to it. The rate of change of the magnetic field is , the resistance per unit length of the wire is . If the current in segments is , find .

What is the role of a commutator in a DC generator and an electric motor?

A current that always flows through an electric device in the same direction is called direct current or . The polarity (positive and negative) of a direct current is fixed. A current that reverses direction at equal intervals of time is called the alternating current or . The polarity (positive and negative) of an alternating current is not fixed. Both and can be used for lighting and heating. Some electric devices like the television need to operate. In such cases, an adapter or a device is fitted into them to convert from the mains supply to .
On the basis of above information, answer the following :
