Dry cell is a source of

  1. Direct current

  2. Alternating current

  3. Can be used as direct current source or alternating current source

  4. Cant say


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Dry cells produces direct current .


Answer-(A)

In the direct current:

  1. The direction of current is always positive

  2. The direction of current is always negtive

  3. The direction of current changes constantly

  4. The direction of current is always in the same direction


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

D
Direct current is an electric current generated by the charge carriers (electrons) that are flowing in only one direction. So, the DC current flows only in one direction. DC current is produced be the sources such as batteries, thermocouple, fuel cells, solar cells.

The current in the armature of a motor is reversed every half cycle due to the action of on:

  1. armature

  2. field coil

  3. brush

  4. commutator


Correct Option: A

What is the voltage of the electricity that is generally supplied to a house ?

  1. $400 V$

  2. $200 V$

  3. $220 V$

  4. $260 V$


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Worldwide, many different mains power systems are found for the operation of household and light commercial electrical appliances and lighting. The different systems are primarily characterized by the following.

  • Voltage
  • Frequency
  • Plugs and sockets (receptacles or outlets)
  • Earthing system (grounding)
  • Protection against overcurrent damage (e.g., due to short circuit), electric shock, and fire hazards.
  • Parameter tolerances.
All these parameters vary among regions. The voltages are generally in the range 100 to 240 V. The two commonly used frequencies are 50 and 60 Hz. Single-phase or three-phase power is most commonly used today.
In India, a voltage of nearly 220 volts and a frequency of 50 cycles per second is used.
Hence correct option is option C

In a dry cell

  1. Chemical energy is converted into heat

  2. Electrical energy is converted into electrical energy

  3. Chemical energy is converted into electrical energy

  4. Chemical energy is constant


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

A Dry cell is a type of electricity producing chemical cell, commonly used for many home and portable devices , often in the form of batteries. it was developed in 1886 by German scientist Carl Gassner. 

A dry cell  is designed to convert it's chemical energy into electrical energy.
hence option C is correct.

Secondary cells are also knows as

  1. Electrolyte

  2. Accumulators

  3. Dry cell

  4. All


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Secondary cells also provide current as a result of chemical reaction, but they can be recharged after use because in these cells, the chemical reaction is reversible.

Which of the following is a source of direct current.

  1. Cell

  2. Electromagnet

  3. Bulb

  4. Switch


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Source of direct current are the cells. In a cell, the chemical energy changes in to the electrical energy when it sends current in a circuit.

The function ${\sin}^{2}{\omega t}$ represents:

  1. a periodic, but not simple harmonic, motion with a period $2\pi/\omega$

  2. a periodic, but not simple harmonic, motion with a period $\pi/\omega$

  3. a simple harmonic motion with a period $2\pi /\omega$

  4. a simple harmonic motion with a period $\pi /\omega$


Correct Option: D

The frequency of A.C mains in India is

  1. $30c/s$

  2. $50c/s$

  3. $60c/s$

  4. $120c/s$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

In India the frequency of A.C current is $50$Hz.

In the direct current

  1. The direction of current is always positive

  2. The direction of current is always negative

  3. The direction of current changes constantly

  4. The direction of current is always in the same direction.


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

In the direct current, the direction of current is always in the same direction.

An alternating voltage is connected across a series $RLC$ Circuit through an $a.c.$ ammeter. The ammeter reading is the.....

  1. The peak current

  2. The peak current in resonance condition

  3. rms current

  4. zero


Correct Option: B

The outlets in your home provide.

  1. Direct current

  2. Alternating current

  3. Electric discharge

  4. Static Electricity


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The outlets in our home provide alternating current. All our home appliances work on alternating current.

The .... is a current of constant magnitude flowing in one direction.

  1. Direct current

  2. Alternating current

  3. Electro magnetic induction

  4. All


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The direct current is a current of constant magnitude flowing in one direction. The source of direct current are the cells.

A cell basically consists of ....... conducting rods.

  1. One

  2. Two

  3. Three

  4. Four


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The source if direct current are the cells, In cell, the chemical energy changes into the electric energy when it sends current in a circuit. Cell basically consists of two conducting rods, which are called the electrodes.

A secondary cell can provide______  current.

  1. Low

  2. High

  3. Both

  4. None


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Secondary cells can provide low as well as high current. We use lead accumulator battery in a car as it is capable of giving large current. Low current rechargeable cells are widely used in toys and mobile phones.

What will be the reading of a hot wire voltmeter if it is connected across the terminals of a generator whose voltage wave form is represented by 
$V = 200\sin \omega t + 100\sin 3\omega t + 50\sin 5\omega t$?

  1. 100V

  2. 162 V

  3. 150 V

  4. 200 V


Correct Option: B

Which of the following is wrong?

  1. It is not possible to have electrolysis by a.c.

  2. Ordinary batteries cannot be changed by a.c.

  3. In a circuit containing L, C and R in series across a steady source, poer is dissipated in R, at steady state

  4. For current dirven from a steady source by an ohmic conductor, mean value and r.m.s. value of current will be same


Correct Option: A

If the instantaneous emf and the instantaneous current equations of an A.C. circuit are respectively 
$e = E _0 sin(\omega t - \pi/6), i = I _0 sin (\omega t + \pi/6)$, then the phase difference between voltage and current is :

  1. $\dfrac{\pi}{3}$

  2. zero

  3. $\dfrac{\pi}{2}$

  4. $\dfrac{\pi}{6}$


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Phase of current   $\phi _1 = wt +\dfrac{\pi}{6}$

Phase of emf    $\phi _2 = wt-\dfrac{\pi}{6}$
Phase difference   $\Delta \phi = \phi _1-\phi _2$
$\implies \Delta \phi = (wt+\dfrac{\pi}{6})-(wt-\dfrac{\pi}{6}) = \dfrac{\pi}{3}$

Which of the following is not a chemical cell

  1. Simple voltaic cell

  2. Leclanche cell
