In a heating arrangement, an alternating current having a peak value of \(28~\mathrm{A}\) is used. To produce the same heat energy, if direct current is used to produce the same amount of heat, then its magnitude will be:

1.	about \(14~\mathrm{A}\)	2.	about \(28~\mathrm{A}\)
3.	about \(20~\mathrm{A}\)	4.	cannot say

The instantaneous values of alternating current and voltages in a circuit are given as,
\(i=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\sin\left ( 100\pi t \right )~\text{Ampere}\)

A transformer is used to light a \(100~\text{W}\) and \(110~\text{V}\) lamp from a \(220~\text{V}\) main. If the main current is \(0.5~\text{A}\), the efficiency of the transformer is approximately:
1. \(30\%\)
2. \(50\%\)
3. \(90\%\)
4. \(10\%\)

In an electrical circuit \(R,\) \(L,\) \(C\) and an \(\mathrm{AB}\) voltage source are all connected in series. When \(L\) is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between the voltage and the current in the circuit is \(\tan^{-1}\sqrt{3}\). If instead, \(C\) is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again \(\tan^{-1}\sqrt{3}\). The power factor of the circuit is:

For a series \(\mathrm{LCR}\) circuit, the power loss at resonance is:

3. \(I^2 R\)

4. \( \frac{\mathrm{V}^2}{\mathrm{C} \omega} \)
