Verified Correct Answer: Option B
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
X\(_c\) = \(\frac{1}{2\pi f c}\)
f = \(\frac{1}{ 2 \pi f C}\) = \(\frac{1}{\pi \times 2 \times 250 \times 2.5 \times 10^{-6}}\)
f = \(\frac{1\times 10^6}{ 1250 \pi}\)
f = \(\frac{800}{\pi}\)

Solution
A current of 0.5 A flowing 3h Deposits 2g of metal during electrolysis. The quantity of the same metal that would be deposited by the currents of 1.5A flowing in 1h is
A
2g
B
6g
C
10g
D
18g
medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option A
Physical Principles & Numerical Solution
From Faraday's Law, mass deposited during electrolysis is given by
\(M_1 = I_1t_1Z\)
=> Z = \(\frac{M_1}{(I_1t_1)}\)
⇒ Z =\(\frac{2}{0.5 \times3}\) = 1.333Kg/C
For a current of 1.5A flowing for 1h, the mass M, deposited is given by
\(M_2 = ZI_2T_2\) = 1.333 x 1 x 1.5 = 2.0g
\(M_2\) = 2.0g
note: converting time to seconds here is not necessary.

medium Difficulty
Verified Correct Answer: Option C
Grammar & Contextual Explanation
The passage discusses the topic of deregulation in Nigeria's oil industry and outlines different perspectives on this issue. The passage mentions opposition to deregulation, primarily driven by fears that it might lead to negative consequences such as higher fuel prices. However, it also indicates that this opposition is not universal or unanimous. For example, the apostles of deregulation argue for its benefits, suggesting that not everyone shares the same view against deregulation. The passage presents a variety of viewpoints on deregulation. It mentions concerns raised by some, such as the fear of leaving Nigerians vulnerable to monopolies, but it also discusses arguments in favour of deregulation. Overall, option C is supported by the passage as it reflects the presence of differing opinions and viewpoints regarding the deregulation of the oil industry in Nigeria.
