Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) isothermal expansion.

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Apply the relevant identity from the chapter and substitute the values established in the previous step, keeping the original constraint in view.

Use the simplified expression to isolate the unknown, then plug the result back into the question setup to confirm the working is internally consistent.

Cross-check against a boundary or limiting case. Both the dimensional balance and the qualitative behaviour at the extreme should agree with the candidate answer.

Combine the steps above to identify the correct option. The remaining choices each fail at least one of the consistency, dimensional, or boundary checks.

A single turn current loop in the shape of a right angle triangle with side $5 \mathrm{~cm}, 12 \mathrm{~cm}, 13 \mathrm{~cm}$ is carrying a current of $2 \mathrm{~A}$. The loop is in a uniform magnetic field of magnitude $0.75 \mathrm{~T}$ whose direction is parallel to the current in the $13 \mathrm{~cm}$ side of the loop. The magnitude of the magnetic force on the $5 \mathrm{~cm}$ side will be $\frac{\mathrm{x}}{130} \mathrm{~N}$. The value of ' $x$ ' is

When a d.c voltage of $200 \mathrm{~V}$ is applied to a coil of self-inductance $\left(\frac{2 \sqrt{3}}{\pi}\right) \mathrm{H}$, a current of 1A flows through it. But by replacing d.c. source with a.c. source of $200 \mathrm{~V}$, the current in the coil is reduced to $0.5 \mathrm{~A}$. Then the frequency of a.c. supply is
