In the given circuit, the magnitude of $V_{L}$ and $V_{C}$ are twice that of $V_{R}$. Given that $f=50\,Hz$, the inductance of the coil is $\frac{1}{ K \pi}\,mH$. The value of $K$ is_________
Two coherent sources of sound, $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ produce sound waves of the same wavelength, $\lambda=1\, m ,$ in phase. $S_{1}$ and $S_{2}$ are placed $1.5\, m$ apart (see fig.) A listener, located at $L,$ directly in front of $S_{2}$ finds that the intensity is at a minimum when he is $2\,m$ away from $S _{2}$. The listener moves away from $S _{1},$ keeping his distance from $S_{2}$ fixed. The adjacent maximum of intensity is observed when the listener is at a distance $d$ from $S$$_{1}$. Then, $d$ is$......m$
Assertion: To convert a galvanometer into an ammeter a small resistance is connected in parallel with it.

Reason: The small resistance increases the combined resistance of the combination.
