When a voltage measuring device is connected to AC mains, the meter shows the steady input voltage of 220 V. This means

(a) Input voltage cannot be AC voltage, but a DC voltage

(b) Maximum input voltage is 220 V

(c) The meter reads not v but < v²> and is calibrated to read v²

(d) The pointer of the meter is stuck by some mechanical defect

A circuit is made up of resistance 3 Ω and inductance 0.01 H. An alternating emf of 100 V at 50 Hz is connected, then the phase difference between the current and the emf in the circuit is

A radioactive sample decays by 63% of its initial value in 10s. It would have decayed by 50% of its initial value in :-

A coil has resistance of 30 ohm and inductive reactance 20 ohm at 50 Hz frequency. If an ac source of 200 V, 100 Hz is connected across the coil, current in coil will be
