S2. Ans. (a)
Sol. Q= 1/R √(L/C)
S3. Ans. (a)
Sol. half wave and odd function symmetry
S4. Ans. (a)
Sol. Reduction in transmission losses
S5. Ans. (c)
Sol. Draws leading power and supply lagging power
S6. Ans. (c)
Sol. Ferroelectric material
S7. Ans. (d)
Sol. (2√2)/π ; For sinusoidal waveform,I_av=I_m/(π/2)=〖2I〗_m/π
I_rms=I_m/√2
So, I_av/I_rms =(2√2)/π
