Question 1 Explanation: 
i(t)=\frac{V(t)}{1+Z} where, V(t)= \sin t
\because Given i(t) is lagging (from plot)
\begin{aligned} I_{max}&=\frac{V_{max}}{Z}=\frac{1}{Z}\\ \Rightarrow Z&=1/\sqrt{2}\\ Z&=(1+j\omega L)\Rightarrow L=1\\ as\; \omega &=1(\sin \omega t)=\sin t \end{aligned}
Question 2
For the circuit shown, the locus of the impedance Z(j\omega ) is plotted as \omega increases from zero to infinity. The values of R_1 and R_2 are:

A
R_1=2k\Omega ,R_2=3k\Omega
B
R_1=5k\Omega ,R_2=2k\Omega
C
R_1=5k\Omega ,R_2=2.5k\Omega
D
R_1=2k\Omega ,R_2=5k\Omega

Question 2 Explanation: 
\begin{aligned} Z(j\omega )&=R_1+\frac{R_2\cdot 1/j\omega c}{R_2+ 1/j\omega c}\\ &=R_1+\frac{R_2}{\frac{1}{2}+jR_2\omega c}\\ Z(j\omega )_{\omega =0}&=R_1+R_2\\ \Rightarrow R_1+R_2&=5k\Omega \\ Z|j\omega |_{\omega \rightarrow \infty }&=R_1\\ \Rightarrow R_1&=2k\Omega \\ R_2&=3k\Omega \end{aligned}

Question 3 Explanation: 


\begin{aligned} \text{Here,}X_{C}&=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{10^{3} \times 10^{-6}}=\frac{1}{10^{-3}}\\ x_{C} &=10^{3} \Omega \\ R &=10^{3} \Omega \quad \text { (Given) } \\ v(t) &=2 \sin 1000 t \vee=2 \angle 0^{\circ} \mathrm{V} \end{aligned}
Redrawing the given network, we get,


As the bridge is balanced, it can be redrawn as


\begin{aligned} \therefore \quad Y_{e q} &=Y_{1}+Y_{2} \\ &=\frac{3}{2} R+\frac{1}{-2 j X_{C}} \\ &=\frac{3}{2} \times 10^{-3}+j \frac{1}{2} \times 10^{-3} \\ \therefore \quad i(t) &=(t) \times Y_{\mathrm{eq}}=2 \angle 0^{\circ}\left[\frac{3}{2}+j \frac{1}{2}\right] \mathrm{m} \mathrm{A} \\ &=(3+j 1) \mathrm{mA} \\ &=3 \sin (1000 t)+\cos (1000 t) \mathrm{mA} \end{aligned}

\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{5 \times 10^{-6}}=200 \mathrm{k} \Omega


\begin{aligned} V_{C} &=\frac{5 \angle 0^{\circ}}{200-j 200} \times(-j 200) \vee \\ &=\frac{5 \angle 0^{\circ} \times 1 \angle-90^{\circ}}{\sqrt{2} \angle-45^{\circ}} \mathrm{V} \\ &=\frac{5}{\sqrt{2}} \angle-45^{\circ} \mathrm{V}=2.5 \sqrt{2} \sin \left(5 t-\frac{\pi}{4}\right) \mathrm{V} \\ &=2.5 \sqrt{2} \sin (5 t-0.25 \pi) \mathrm{V} \end{aligned}

Question 5 Explanation: 


Given that, V and J have same phase. So, the circuit is in resonance.
At resonance,
