Q. No.An AC ammeter is used to measure the current in a circuit. When a given direct current passes through the circuit, the AC ammeter reads \(6~\text A.\) When another alternating current passes through the circuit, the AC ammeter reads \(8~\text A.\) Then the reading of this ammeter if DC and AC flow through the circuit simultaneously is:
1. \(10 \sqrt{2}~\text A\)
2. \(14~\text A\)
3. \(10~\text A\)
4. \(15~\text A\)

At a hydroelectric power plant, the water pressure head is at a height of \(300\) m and the water flow available is \(100\) m3 s-1. If the turbine generator efficiency is \(60\)%, the electric power available from the plant is:
(Take \(g=9.8\) m s-2)
1. \(111.3\) MW
2. \(210\) MW
3. \(176.4\) MW
4. \(213.5\) MW
| Assertion (A): | When a current \(I=(3+4 \sin \omega t)\) flows in a wire, then the reading of a dc ammeter connected in series is \(4\) units. |
| Reason (R): | A dc ammeter measures only the value of the current amplitude. |

In a box \(Z\) of unknown elements (\(L\) or \(R\) or any other combination), an ac voltage \(E = E_0 \sin(\omega t + \phi)\) is applied and the current in the circuit is found to be \(I = I_0 \sin\left(\omega t + \phi +\frac{\pi}{4}\right)\). The unknown elements in the box could be:
