Question
Assertion : An ac generator is based on the phenomenon of self-induction.
Reason : In single coil, we consider self-induction only.

Answer

(e) $a c$ generator is based on the principle of the electromagnetic induction. When a coil is rotated about an axis perpendicular to the direction of uniform magnetic field, an induced emf is produced across it.

Assertion : Two balls of different masses are thrown vertically upward with same speed. They will pass through their point of projection in the downward direction with the same speed.
Reason : The maximum height and downward velocity attained at the point of projection are independent of the mass of the ball.
Assertion : Velocity of particles, while crossing mean position (in stationary waves) varies from maximum at antinodes to zero at nodes.
Reason : Amplitude of vibration at antinodes is maximum and at nodes, the amplitude is zero, And all particles between two successive nodes cross the mean position together.
