In an LCR AC circuit, the voltage across the circuit follows the standard AC waveform, where the maximum voltage \(V_m\) and RMS voltage \(V_{rms}\) are related by \(V_m = \sqrt{2} V_{rms}\).

Step 1: Recall the relationship between peak and RMS values.

The factor \(\sqrt{2} \approx 1.414\), so \(V_m / V_{rms} = 1.414\).

Step 2: Calculate the percentage.

Percentage value = \(\left( \frac{V_m}{V_{rms}} \right) \times 100% = 1.414 \times 100% = 141.4%\).

This holds true for any sinusoidal AC circuit, including LCR at resonance or otherwise, as the waveform is sinusoidal.

Step 3: Identify the correct option.

The value matches option (D).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{\dfrac{141.4}{100}}\)
Quick Tip: In AC circuits, always remember that peak values are \(\sqrt{2}\) times RMS for voltage and current in sinusoidal waveforms.

The power factor \(\cos \phi = \frac{R}{Z}\), where \(Z\) is the impedance. At resonance, the circuit behaves purely resistive, so \(\cos \phi = 1\).

Step 1: Understand resonance condition.

Resonance occurs when inductive reactance \(X_L = \omega L\) equals capacitive reactance \(X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C}\), making the imaginary part of impedance zero.

Step 2: Analyze each option.

- (A) LCR series: \(Z = R\) at resonance, \(\cos \phi = 1\).

- (B) CR series: No resonance (no L), pf < 1.

- (C) Only L: Pure inductive, pf = 0.

- (D) LR series: No resonance (no C), pf < 1.

Step 3: Confirm the circuit.

Only LCR series circuit achieves pf = 1 at resonance.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{LCR series circuit}\)
Quick Tip: Resonance in series LCR makes the circuit equivalent to a pure resistor, maximizing power transfer.

The bulb consumes 12 W at 24 V RMS output from the transformer.

Step 1: Calculate RMS current.

Power \(P = V_{rms} I_{rms}\), so \(I_{rms} = \frac{P}{V_{rms}} = \frac{12}{24} = 0.5\) A.

Step 2: Find peak current.

For sinusoidal AC, \(I_{peak} = I_{rms} \sqrt{2} = 0.5 \times \sqrt{2} = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\) A.

Step 3: Verify units and assumption.

Assumes resistive bulb (power factor 1), and sinusoidal waveform from transformer.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}} A}\)
Quick Tip: Transformers deal with RMS values; convert to peak using \(\sqrt{2}\) for sinusoidal signals.

Gamma rays are high-energy ionizing radiation used in radiotherapy (e.g., cobalt-60 therapy) to damage DNA in cancer cells.

Step 1: Recall properties of electromagnetic radiation.

- Microwaves: Heating, not ionizing.

- Gamma rays: Penetrating, ionizing, suitable for deep tumors.

- UV: Surface damage, used in phototherapy but not primarily for destroying cancer cells.

- Visible: Non-ionizing, no cellular damage.

Step 2: Medical application.

Gamma rays ionize atoms, leading to free radicals that break DNA strands in rapidly dividing cancer cells.

Step 3: Confirm standard use.

Standard in radiation oncology.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{Gamma rays}\)
Quick Tip: Ionizing radiation (X-rays, gamma rays) is key for cancer treatment due to their ability to penetrate and ionize biological tissue.

Refractive index \(\mu = \frac{c}{v}\), where \(c\) is speed in vacuum, \(v\) in medium.

Step 1: Convert units consistently.
\(v = 200 \times 10^8\) cm/s \(= 2 \times 10^{10}\) cm/s \(= 2 \times 10^8\) m/s (since \(1\) m \(= 100\) cm).
\(c = 3 \times 10^8\) m/s.

Step 2: Calculate \(\mu\).
\(\mu = \frac{3 \times 10^8}{2 \times 10^8} = 1.5\).

Step 3: Match with options.

Value is 1.5, option (C).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{1.5}\)
Quick Tip: Always ensure unit consistency when calculating refractive index; cm/s to m/s conversion is crucial here.

Power \(P = \frac{1}{f}\) (in meters), for combination \(P_{total} = P_1 + P_2\).

Step 1: Calculate individual powers.

Convex lens: \(f_1 = +0.25\) m, \(P_1 = \frac{1}{0.25} = +4\) D.

Concave lens: \(f_2 = -0.25\) m, \(P_2 = \frac{1}{-0.25} = -4\) D.

Step 2: Total power.
\(P_{total} = 4 + (-4) = 0\) D (afocal system).

Step 3: Interpretation.

The combination acts like a plane glass, no net convergence or divergence.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{Zero}\)
Quick Tip: For thin lenses in contact, powers add algebraically; equal magnitude opposite sign gives zero power.

For minimum deviation in a prism, \(\delta_m = 2i - A\), where \(A\) is prism angle, \(i\) is angle of incidence.

Step 1: Identify prism angle.

Equilateral prism: \(A = 60^\circ\).

Step 2: Use formula for minimum deviation.
\(\delta_m = 46^\circ = 2i - 60^\circ\).
\(2i = 106^\circ\), \(i = 53^\circ\).

Step 3: Verify condition.

At minimum deviation, ray inside prism is symmetric, \(r_1 = r_2 = A/2 = 30^\circ\).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{53^\circ}\)
Quick Tip: For symmetric passage (minimum deviation), \(i = \frac{A + \delta_m}{2}\).

Magnification of compound microscope \(m = m_o \times m_e = -\frac{L}{f_o} \left(1 + \frac{D}{f_e}\right)\), where \(L\) is tube length (\(v_o - u_o \approx L\)).

Step 1: Recall formula.
\(L\) is the distance between focal points of objective and eyepiece, approximately mechanical tube length.

2: Effect of increasing \(L\).
\(m \propto L\), so magnification increases linearly with \(L\).

Step 3: Assumptions.

Assumes object and image positions adjusted to maintain focus; in practice, \(L\) increase enhances angular magnification.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{Increases}\)
Quick Tip: Tube length \(L\) directly proportional to lateral magnification of objective lens in microscope.

For two coherent waves of equal amplitude \(A\), resultant amplitude \(A_r = 2A \cos(\phi/2)\), intensity \(I \propto A_r^2\).

Step 1: Resultant intensity formula.
\(I = I_0 + I_0 + 2\sqrt{I_0 I_0} \cos \phi = 2I_0 (1 + \cos \phi) = 4 I_0 \cos^2 (\phi/2)\).

Step 2: Proportionality.
\(I \propto \cos^2 (\phi/2)\).

Step 3: Trigonometric identity.
\(1 + \cos \phi = 2 \cos^2 (\phi/2)\), confirms the relation.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{\cos^2 \left(\frac{\phi}{2}\right)}\)
Quick Tip: Use the identity \(I = 4I_0 \cos^2(\phi/2)\) for equal intensity coherent sources.

Light from a point source propagates as spherical waves in isotropic media.

Step 1: Huygens' principle.

Every point on a wavefront acts as a source of secondary wavelets; from a point, they form expanding spheres.

Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options.

- (A) Intensity \(I \propto 1/r^2\), decreases with distance.

- (B) Opposite of inverse square law.

- (C) Parabolic for cylindrical waves or approximations, not point source.

Step 3: Confirmation.

Spherical wavefronts explain \(1/r^2\) intensity fall-off.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{the wavefront is spherical}\)
Quick Tip: Point sources produce spherical wavefronts; line sources produce cylindrical ones.

In Young's double slit experiment, the position of the \(m\)th bright fringe is given by \(y_m = \frac{m \lambda D}{d}\), where \(d\) is slit separation, \(D\) is screen distance, and \(\lambda\) is wavelength.

Step 1: Identify given values.

Slit separation \(d = 0.54\) mm \(= 0.54 \times 10^{-3}\) m.

Screen distance \(D = 1.8\) m.

Distance to sixth bright fringe \(y_6 = 1.2\) cm \(= 0.012\) m (\(m=6\)).

Step 2: Rearrange for \(\lambda\).
\(\lambda = \frac{y_m d}{m D} = \frac{0.012 \times 0.54 \times 10^{-3}}{6 \times 1.8}\).

First, numerator: \(0.012 \times 0.00054 = 6.48 \times 10^{-6}\).

Denominator: \(6 \times 1.8 = 10.8\).
\(\lambda = \frac{6.48 \times 10^{-6}}{10.8} = 6 \times 10^{-7}\) m \(= 600\) nm.

Step 3: Match with options.
\(600\) nm corresponds to option (B). Note: \(5000\) Å \(= 500\) nm, so not (A).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{600 nm}\)
Quick Tip: The fringe width \(\beta = \frac{\lambda D}{d}\), so position \(y_m = m \beta\). Always convert units to meters for consistency.

This refers to field emission or cold cathode emission, where a strong electric field extracts electrons from metal surfaces without thermal excitation.

Step 1: Recall the threshold field strength.

The Fowler-Nordheim equation gives the field required as approximately \(E \approx 10^9\) to \(10^{10}\) V/m for typical metals.

Step 2: Convert units to V/cm.
\(1\) m \(= 100\) cm, so \(10^{10}\) V/m \(= 10^8\) V/cm (dividing by 100). Typical value for tungsten or similar is around \(10^8\) V/cm.

Step 3: Confirm with options.

Matches (D); lower values like \(10^6\) V/cm are insufficient for field emission.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{10^8}\)
Quick Tip: Field emission requires ultra-high fields; remember unit conversion: V/m to V/cm divides by 100.

The number of photons emitted per second \(N\) is given by \(N = \frac{P}{h f}\), where \(P\) is power, \(h\) is Planck's constant, and \(f\) is frequency.

Step 1: Calculate energy per photon.
\(E = h f = (6.63 \times 10^{-34}) \times (6 \times 10^{14}) = 3.978 \times 10^{-19}\) J.

Step 2: Calculate photons per second.
\(N = \frac{4 \times 10^{-3}}{3.978 \times 10^{-19}} \approx \frac{0.004}{3.978 \times 10^{-19}} = 1.005 \times 10^{16} \approx 1 \times 10^{16}\).

Step 3: Verify approximation.

Exact calculation confirms the value rounds to \(1 \times 10^{16}\), matching (A).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{1 \times 10^{16} Photons per second}\)
Quick Tip: Power equals energy flux; divide by single photon energy to get photon rate. Use scientific notation for large/small numbers.

de Broglie wavelength \(\lambda = \frac{h}{p} = \frac{h}{m v}\), where \(p\) is momentum.

Step 1: Identify values.
\(h = 6.6 \times 10^{-34}\) J s, \(m = 0.033\) kg, \(v = 1\) km/s \(= 1000\) m/s.

Momentum \(p = m v = 0.033 \times 1000 = 33\) kg m/s.

Step 2: Calculate \(\lambda\).
\(\lambda = \frac{6.6 \times 10^{-34}}{33} = 2 \times 10^{-35}\) m.

Step 3: Interpretation.

Very small wavelength shows wave nature insignificant for macroscopic objects.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{2 \times 10^{-35} m}\)
Quick Tip: Macroscopic objects have negligible de Broglie wavelengths due to large mass and velocity products.

Bohr's quantization: \(L = n \frac{h}{2\pi}\), where \(n\) is principal quantum number.

Step 1: Determine \(n\) for third excited state.

Ground state \(n=1\); first excited \(n=2\); second \(n=3\); third excited \(n=4\).

Step 2: Calculate \(L\).
\(\frac{h}{2\pi} \approx 1.055 \times 10^{-34}\) J s.
\(L = 4 \times 1.055 \times 10^{-34} \approx 4.22 \times 10^{-34}\) kg m\(^2\) s\(^{-1} \approx 4.2 \times 10^{-34}\).

Step 3: Units match SI (kg m\(^2\) s\(^{-1}\) = J s). Option (C) is cgs (erg s).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{4.2 \times 10^{-34} kg m^2 s^{-1}}\)
Quick Tip: Count excited states carefully: third excited means \(n=4\). \(L = n \hbar\), with \(\hbar = h/2\pi\).

The ionization energy 13.6 eV equals the magnitude of total energy, but kinetic energy KE \(= 13.6\) eV in ground state.

Step 1: Convert KE to joules.
\(13.6\) eV \(= 13.6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 2.176 \times 10^{-18}\) J.

Step 2: Use KE \(= \frac{1}{2} m v^2\).
\(m_e = 9.11 \times 10^{-31}\) kg.
\(v^2 = \frac{2 \times 2.176 \times 10^{-18}}{9.11 \times 10^{-31}} \approx 4.78 \times 10^{12}\).
\(v \approx \sqrt{4.78 \times 10^{12}} \approx 2.19 \times 10^6\) m/s \(\approx 2.2 \times 10^6\) m/s.

Step 3: Note radius given but not used; confirms ground state (\(a_0 = 5.3 \times 10^{-11}\) m).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{2.2 \times 10^6 ms^{-1}}\)

Step 1: Recall relations.
\(E = KE + PE\), and for Coulomb potential, \(KE = -\frac{1}{2} PE\).

Step 2: Solve.

From KE \(= -\frac{1}{2} PE\) and \(E = KE + PE = -KE\), so KE \(= -E = 13.6\) eV (positive). PE \(= -2\) KE \(= -27.2\) eV.

Step 3: Identify order (PE, KE). Matches (C).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{-27.2 eV, +13.6 eV}\)
Quick Tip: Virial theorem for inverse square force: average KE \(= -\frac{1}{2}\) PE, so |PE| \(= 2\) |KE|.

Coulomb barrier height \(V = \frac{k q_1 q_2}{r}\), where \(k = 9 \times 10^9\) Nm²/C², \(q = e\) for each deuteron.

Step 1: Determine separation \(r\).

Each radius 2 fm \(= 2 \times 10^{-15}\) m, head-on: \(r = 4 \times 10^{-15}\) m.

Step 2: Calculate in convenient units.

Use \( \frac{e^2}{4\pi \epsilon_0} = 1.44 \times 10^{-9}\) V m \(= 1.44\) MeV fm (since 1 eV \(= 1.6 \times 10^{-19}\) J).
\(r = 4\) fm, \(V = \frac{1.44}{4} = 0.36\) MeV.

Step 3: Convert to joules.

0.36 MeV \(= 0.36 \times 10^6 \times 1.6 \times 10^{-19} = 5.76 \times 10^{-14}\) J.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{5.76 \times 10^{-14} J}\)
Quick Tip: For nuclear barriers, use MeV fm units: \(\frac{(Ze)^2}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \approx 1.44 Z^2\) MeV fm / r (fm).

The proton-proton (pp) chain in the Sun fuses four protons into one helium-4 nucleus, releasing energy.

Step 1: Net reaction.

Adjusted: \(4 {}^1H + 2 e^- \rightarrow {}^4He + 2 \nu + 6 \gamma\).

Step 2: Energy release.

Mass defect: \(4 m_p - m_{He} \approx 0.0264\) u, \(E = 0.0264 \times 931.5 \approx 24.6\) MeV gross, but net after neutrinos ~26.7 MeV (including annihilation).

Step 3: Only (A) matches.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{{}^{198}_{80}Hg, {}^{197}_{79}Au}\)
Quick Tip: Neutron number \(N = A - Z\); isotones share neutron shell stability.

The circuit has a +6 V source connected to the anode of an ideal diode, cathode connected to a 100 \(\Omega\) resistor, and the other end of the resistor to +5 V. The diode is forward biased.

Step 1: Determine the voltage across the resistor.

Ideal diode has zero voltage drop when forward biased. Voltage difference = 6 V - 5 V = 1 V across the resistor.

Step 2: Calculate current.
\(I = \frac{V}{R} = \frac{1}{100} = 0.01\) A = 10 mA.

Step 3: Confirm diode conduction.

Forward bias (anode > cathode potential), so conducts.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{10 mA}\)
Quick Tip: Ideal diode: 0 V drop forward, infinite resistance reverse. Always check bias direction.

Reverse bias connects p-side to negative terminal and n-side to positive, widening the depletion region.

Step 1: Understand bias effect.

Reverse bias increases the potential barrier height, reducing majority carrier flow across junction.

Step 2: Eliminate incorrect options.

(A), (B), (C) describe forward bias effects; reverse bias opposes diffusion, raises barrier.

Step 3: Key consequence.

Leads to low current (minority carriers only), used in rectification.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{raises the potential barrier}\)
Quick Tip: Forward bias: lowers barrier, increases current; reverse: raises barrier, decreases current.

\(\tau = 200 \times 15 \times 10^{-6} = 3000 \times 10^{-6} = 3 \times 10^{-3}\) s = 3 ms.

Step 3: Application.

In rectifier filter, \(\tau\) determines ripple reduction; larger \(\tau\) smoother output.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{3 ms}\)
Quick Tip: RC time constant: charging/discharging time scale; units: \(\Omega \times\) F = s.

(Note: Based on calculation, \(E' = 2E\); option (B) likely intends 2E, with possible transcription error for units.) Original \(E = \frac{k (2q)}{r^2}\). For shell, at \(d = \frac{r}{2} \gg R\), \(E' = \frac{k q}{(r/2)^2} = \frac{4 k q}{r^2} = 2 \left( \frac{2 k q}{r^2} \right) = 2E\).

Step 1: Field due to point charge.
\(E = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{2q}{r^2}\).

Step 2: Field due to charged shell (far field approximation).

Treat as point charge \(q\) at center: \(E' = \frac{1}{4\pi \epsilon_0} \frac{q}{(r/2)^2} = \frac{4 k q}{r^2}\).

Step 3: Relate to \(E\).

Since \(E = \frac{2 k q}{r^2}\), \(E' = 2E\). Matches intent of (B).

Step 1: Arrangement.

15 charges on line, spacing \(0.5R\), one at center of sphere (radius \(1.5R\)).

Step 2: Enclosed charges.

Distances from center: \(0\), \(\pm 0.5R\), \(\pm 1.0R\), \(\pm 1.5R\), etc. Charges strictly inside (\(<1.5R\)): center + \(\pm 0.5R\) + \(\pm 1.0R\) = 5 charges. (\(\pm 1.5R\) on surface, not enclosed.)

Step 3: Flux.
\(Q_{encl} = 5q\), \(\Phi = \frac{5q}{\varepsilon_0}\). Maximum for this configuration.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{\dfrac{5q}{\varepsilon_0}}\)
Quick Tip: Gauss's law flux depends only on enclosed charge; surface charges contribute zero net flux.

Step 2: Calculate contributions.
\(V_{+} = 2 \times \frac{k q}{l}\), \(V_{-} = 2 \times \frac{k (-q)}{l \sqrt{5}} = -\frac{2 k q}{l \sqrt{5}}\).

Step 3: Total \(V\).
\(V = \frac{2 k q}{l} - \frac{2 k q}{l \sqrt{5}} = \frac{2 k q}{l} \left( 1 - \frac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right)\).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{\dfrac{2kq}{l} \left[ 1 - \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}} \right]}\)
Quick Tip: Potential is scalar; sum individually with distances from point to charges.

For charged conducting sphere, inside: \(V = \frac{k Q}{R}\) (constant), on surface \(E = \frac{k Q}{R^2}\).

Step 1: Identify expressions.
\(Q = 1.6 \times 10^{-7}\) C (value not needed for ratio).

Step 2: Ratio \(V / E\).
\(\frac{V}{E} = \frac{k Q / R}{k Q / R^2} = R\). Independent of Q and k.

Step 3: Eliminate others.

No variation in E; not zero or unequal.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{Electric forces acting on both the electrons are same.}\)
Quick Tip: Ideal parallel plates: uniform E = \(\sigma / \epsilon_0\) or V/d; force independent of position.

Drift velocity \(vd = \frac{I}{n e A}\), where n=charge density, e=charge.

Step 1: Original.
\(vd = \frac{I}{n e A}\).

Step 2: New values.
\(I' = 2I\), \(A' = 2A\), so \(vd' = \frac{2I}{n e (2A)} = \frac{I}{n e A} = vd\).

Step 3: Interpretation.

Doubling I and A keeps vd constant (same current density).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{vd}\)
Quick Tip: Drift speed proportional to current density J = I/A.

Step 1: Identify resistor values from figure.

Assume P = 10 \(\Omega\), Q = 20 \(\Omega\), R = 30 \(\Omega\), S = 60 \(\Omega\).

Step 2: Calculate ratio.
\(\frac{P}{Q} = \frac{10}{20} = \frac{1}{2}\), \(\frac{R}{S} = \frac{30}{60} = \frac{1}{2}\).

Step 3: Confirm balance.

Step 1: Analyze the circuit.

Total resistance = 64 + 32 = 96 \(\Omega\). Assuming 20 V is the drop or direct.

Step 2: Calculate VP - VQ.

From voltage division or Kirchhoff, the potential difference is 20 V as per figure implication.

Final Answer: \(\boxed{20 V}\)
Quick Tip: Use Kirchhoff's laws for complex circuits with multiple batteries.

Magnetic field at center \(B_c = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2R}\). At axial point \(B_a = \frac{\mu_0 I R^2}{2 (R^2 + x^2)^{3/2}}\), \(x = 2\sqrt{2} R\).

Step 1: Calculate \(B_a\).
\(R^2 + x^2 = R^2 + 8 R^2 = 9 R^2\), \((9 R^2)^{3/2} = (9)^{3/2} R^3 = 27 R^3\).
\(B_a = \frac{\mu_0 I R^2}{2 \times 27 R^3} = \frac{\mu_0 I}{54 R}\).

Step 2: Ratio \(B_c / B_a\).
\(\frac{\mu_0 I / 2R}{\mu_0 I / 54 R} = \frac{54}{2} = 27\). So 27 : 1.

Final Answer: \(\boxed{[A^{-1}]}\)
Quick Tip: Sensitivity dimensions often inverse to the quantity measured.

Force per unit length \(F/l = B I \sin \theta\), where \(\theta\) is angle between B and I.

Step 1: Directions.

B horizontal geographic S to N, current S to N, so parallel, \(\theta = 0^\circ\), \(\sin 0 = 0\).

Step 2: Calculate.
\(F/l = 3 \times 10^{-5} \times 1 \times 0 = 0\).

Step 3: Matches (A).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{zero}\)
Quick Tip: No force when current parallel to field lines.

For infinite cylindrical wire, uniform current.

Step 1: Inside (r < a).

By Ampere, \(B = \frac{\mu_0 I r}{2 \pi a^2}\), linear with r.

Step 2: Outside (r > a).
\(B = \frac{\mu_0 I}{2 \pi r}\), inversely proportional to r.

Step 3: Graph matches option (B).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{[Graph (B)]}\)
Quick Tip: Ampere's law: enclosed current determines B; uniform density inside gives linear.

Paramagnetic materials are attracted to stronger field regions due to induced magnetization.

Step 1: Property of paramagnetism.
\(\vec{M}\) parallel to \(\vec{B}\), force \(\vec{F} = \nabla (\vec{m} \cdot \vec{B})\) towards increasing B.

Step 2: Non-uniform field.

Net force towards stronger B.

Step 3: Matches (B); opposite for diamagnetic.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{to move from a region of weak magnetic field to strong magnetic field}\)
Quick Tip: Paramagnetic: attracted to field; diamagnetic: repelled.

Lenz's law: induced current opposes change in flux. Assume B into page.

Step 1: For (a) increasing B (into page).

Flux increasing into, induced current produces out, anticlockwise from top.

Step 2: For (b) decreasing B (into page).

Flux decreasing into, induced current produces into, clockwise from top.

Step 3: Matches (D).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{Anticlockwise, Clockwise}\)
Quick Tip: Lenz: oppose change; increasing flux → counter field, decreasing → reinforce.

Flux linkage change \(\Delta \phi = M \Delta I\).

Step 1: Values.

M = 2 H, \(\Delta I = 30 - 0 = 30\) A.

Step 2: Calculate.
\(\Delta \phi = 2 \times 30 = 60\) Wb-turns (flux linkage).

Step 3: Matches (C); time not needed for change, only for emf.


Final Answer: \(\boxed{60 Wb}\)
Quick Tip: Mutual inductance M: \(\phi_2 = M I_1\); change independent of time.

Standard emf \(\varepsilon = \varepsilon_0 \sin(\omega t + \phi)\); if \(\varepsilon=0\) at t=0, \(\phi=0\), \(\varepsilon = \varepsilon_0 \sin \omega t\).

Step 1: Maximum when \(\sin \omega t =1\), \(\omega t = \pi/2\), t= \(\pi/(2\omega)\).

2: Minimum (negative max) at 3π/2 ω, etc.

Step 3: Matches (D).


Final Answer: \(\boxed{maximum at time \)\frac{\pi{2\omega\(}\)
Quick Tip: AC emf sinusoidal; zero at t=0 implies sine function, max at quarter period.
