loop is zero. Also, magnetic field due to straight = 32 cm
wires also cancel each other as they are opposite 36. Answer (4)
in direction. Hint : Dimensional analysis
31. Answer (1) Sol. : [h] = [M1 L2 T–1]
Hint : Resonance in series L.C R A.C. circuit. [l] = [L]
Sol. : When L is removed, phase difference is 45° [F] = [MLT–2]
thus Xc = R
[Speed] = [h]a [l]b [F]c
as on removal of C, phase difference is also 45°,
[LT–1] = [ML2 T–1]a [L]b [MLT–2]c
thus XL = R
[L T–1] = [Ma+c L2a+b+c T– a – 2c]
∴ In original circuit, impedance
a+c=0

Z= R + ( xc − xL ) = R
