Two metallic wires of identical dimensions are connected in series. If $$\sigma_{1}$$ and $$\sigma_{2}$$ are the conductivities of the these wires respectively, the effective conductivity of the combination is :

An alternating emf $$\mathrm{E}=440 \sin 100 \pi \mathrm{t}$$ is applied to a circuit containing an inductance of $$\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\pi} \mathrm{H}$$. If an a.c. ammeter is connected in the circuit, its reading will be :

A coil of inductance 1 H and resistance $$100 \,\Omega$$ is connected to a battery of 6 V. Determine approximately :

(a) The time elapsed before the current acquires half of its steady - state value.

(b) The energy stored in the magnetic field associated with the coil at an instant 15 ms after the circuit is switched on. (Given $$\ln 2=0.693, \mathrm{e}^{-3 / 2}=0.25$$)
