Asked in MDCAT Test Series 35 — Alternating Current

In the following question, two statements numbered I and II are given. There may be cause and effect relationship between the two statements. These two statements may be the effect of the same cause or independent causes. These statements may be independent causes without saving any relationship. Read both the statements in question and mark your answer as:A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;B. If statement II is the cause and statement, I is its effect;C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common causes;I. There was a huge rush of people to the Passport Office last Friday.II. The authorities had decided to close it down for a month and relocate elsewhere.

Correct answer: B. If statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect;

  • A. If statement I is the cause and statement II is its effect;
  • B. If statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect;
  • C. If both the statements I and II are independent causes;
  • D. If both the statements I and II are effects of independent causes;
  • E. If both the statements I and II are effects of some common cause;

Explanation

Statement II is the cause and statement I is its effect. The announcement of the Passport Office's closure for a month likely caused a rush as people wanted to address their passport needs before the office relocated. The other options are incorrect because they either propose a reverse relationship or suggest independent causes or effects, which doesn't fit the scenario provided.

About Alternating Current

Alternating current varies periodically, so phase relationships become essential when current passes through a resistor, capacitor or inductor. The chapter distinguishes resistance from capacitive and inductive reactance, explains phase lead and lag, and connects changing electric and magnetic fields with the production and properties of electromagnetic waves.
