Important Questions on Electromagnetic Induction

EASY
IMPORTANT

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

On the basis of above information, answer the following:
