If the frequency of the e.m.f. source in the a.c. circuit illustrated above is \(\frac{500}{\pi}\)Hz. What is the reactance of the inductor?

A.

450

B.

0.9

C.

900

D.

567

E.

43

Correct answer is C

x = 2\(\pi f L = 2\pi \times \frac{500}{\pi} \times 0.9\)

= 900\(\Omega\)

A man standing 300m away from the wall sounds a whistle. The echo from the wall reaches him 1.8sec. later, calculate the velocity of sound in air

A.

540.0ms-1

B.

333.3ms-1

C.

270.0ms-1

D.

166.7ms-1

E.

83.3ms-1

Correct answer is B

V = \(\frac{2x}{t} = \frac{2 \times 300}{1.8}\)


= 333.33ms-1
