An alternating voltage of $$220 \mathrm{~V}$$ is applied across a device $$X$$. A current of 0.22 A flows in the circuit and it lags behind the applied voltage in phase by $$\pi / 2$$ radian. When the same voltage is applied across another device $$Y$$, the current in the circuit remains the same and it is in phase with the applied voltage.

(i) Name the devices $$X$$ and $$Y$$ and,

(ii) Calculate the current flowing in the circuit when the same voltage is applied across the series combination of $$\mathrm{X}$$ and $$\mathrm{Y}$$.

State the basic principle behind the working of an ac generator. Briefly describe its working and obtain the expression for the instantaneous value of emf induced.
