उत्तर
a and d
Explanation:
Alternating currents are used for household supplies, which are having zero average value over a cycle.
The line is having some resistance, so power factor `cos phi = R/Z ≠ 0`
So, `phi = pi/2 ⇒ phi < pi/2`
i.e., phase lies between 0 and `pi/2`.
Important point: The average value of alternating quantity for one complete cycle is zero.
The average value of ac over half cycle (t = 0 to T/2)
`I_(av) = (int_0^(T/2) i dt)/(int_0^(T/2) dt) = (2i_0)/pi = 0.637i_0` = 63.7% of i0
Similarly `V_(av) = (2V_0)/pi` = 0.637 V0 = 63.7% of V0.
