Given below are two statements: one is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Choke coil is simply a coil having a large inductance but a small resistance. Choke coils are used with fluorescent mercury-tube fittings. If household electric power is directly connected to a mercury tube, the tube will be damaged.
Reason (R): By using the choke coil, the voltage across the tube is reduced by a factor \( \frac{R}{\sqrt{R^2 + \omega^2 L^2}} \), where \( \omega \) is the frequency of the supply across resistor \( R \) and inductor \( L \). If the choke coil were not used, the voltage across the resistor would be the same as the applied voltage.
In light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Statement-1: \( \text{ClF}_3 \) has 3 possible structures.
Statement-2: \( \text{III} \) is the most stable structure due to least lone pair-bond pair (lp-bp) repulsion.
Which of the following options is correct?
Any irregularity in the pattern of crystal arrangement in a solid lattice is called imperfection in solids. The occurrence of defects takes place when crystallization (the process of formation of crystals) occurs at a very fast or at an intermediate rate.
Basically, defects fall out in two forms:
When the irregularities exist from the ideal arrangement around a point or an atom in solids, the defect is known as a point defect. Types of point defects are:
When the deviation from the ideal arrangement exists in the entire row of lattice points, the defect is called line defect.
