The value of the current through an inductance of $1H$ and of negligible resistance, when connected through an $ac$ source of $200 \,V$ and $50 \,Hz$ is
A closed surface S is constructed around a conducting wire connected to a battery and a switch $($figure$)$. As the switch is closed, the free electrons in the wire start moving along the wire. In any time interval, the number of electrons entering the closed surface $S$ is equal to the number of electrons leaving it. On closing the switch, the flux of the electric field through the closed surface:

An electron moving with a velocity ${\vec V_1} = 2\,\hat i\,\, m/s$ at a point in a magnetic field experiences a force ${\vec F_1} =  - 2\hat j\,N$ .  If the electron is moving with a velocity ${\vec V_2} = 2\,\hat j \,\,m/s$ at the same point, it experiences a force ${\vec F_2} =  + 2\,\hat i\,N$ .  The force the electron would experience if it were moving with a velocity ${\vec V_3} = 2\hat k$  $m/s$ at the same point is

Between the plates of a parallel plate capacitor a dielectric plate is introduced just to fill the space between the plates. The capacitor is charged and later disconnected from the battery. The dielectric plate is slowly drawn out of the capacitor parallel to the plates. The plot of the potential difference across the plates and the length of the dielectric plate drawn out is
A string of negligible thickness is wrapped several times around a cylinder kept on a rough horizontal surface. A man standing at a distance $1$ from the cylinder holds one end of the string and pulls the cylinder towards him. There is no slipping anywhere. The length of the string passed through the hand of the man while the cylinder reaches his hands is:
