MCQ
In alternating current:
  • A
    The direction of current is always positive
  • B
    The direction of current is always negative
  • C
    The direction of current changes constantly
  • D
    The direction of current is either positive or negative

Answer

  1. The direction of current changes constantly

Explanation:

Electric charge in alternating current (AC) changes direction periodically. The voltage in AC circuits also periodically reverses because the current changes direction.

A student very cautiously traces the path of a ray through a glass slab for different values of the angle of incidence refraction$(\angle\text{i}).$ He then measures the corresponding values of the angle of refraction $(\angle\text{r}) $ and the angle of emergence $(\angle\text{e})$ for every value of the angle of incidence. On analysing these measurements of angles, his conclusion would be.
