MCQ
An alternating e.m.f. is applied to purely capacitive circuit. The phase relation between e.m.f. and current flowing in the circuit is orIn a circuit containing capacitance only
  • A
    e.m.f. is ahead of current by $\pi$ $ / 2 $ 
  • Current is ahead of e.m.f. by $\pi$ $ / 2$
  • C
    Current lags behind e.m.f. by $\pi$
  • D
    Current is ahead of e.m.f. by $\pi$

Answer

Correct option: B.
Current is ahead of e.m.f. by $\pi$ $ / 2$
b
(b) For purely capacitive circuit $e = {e_0}\sin \omega t$
$i = {i_o}\sin \left( {\omega t + \frac{\pi }{2}} \right)$ i.e. current is ahead of emf by $ \frac{\pi }{2} $

To find the distance $d$ over which a signal can be seen clearly in foggy conditions, a railways engineer uses dimensional analysis and assumes that the distance depends on the mass density $\rho$ of the fog, intensity (power/area) $S$ of the light from the signal and its frequency $f$. The engineer find that $d$ is proportional to $S ^{1 / n}$. The value of $n$ is:
