(b) State one advantage and one disadvantage of using a convex mirror as a driving mirror.
(c) Draw a clearly labelled diagram to illustrate how two converging lenses may be arranged to form a compound microscope.
(d) An object 2.5 mm long is viewed through a converging lens of focal length 10.0 cm held close to the eye. A magnified image of the object is formed 30.0 cm from the lens. Calculate the:

(b)(i) Explain resonant frequency of an RLC circuit.
(ii) Explain the statement — the power supply voltage of a source is 230V
(c) A source of e.m.f 240V and frequency 50 Hz is connected to a series arrangement of a resistor, an inductor and a capacitor. When the current in the capacitor is 10A, the potential difference across the resistor is 140 V and that across the inductor is 50 V. Calculate the:
(i) potential difference across the capacitor (ii) capacitance of the capacitor; (iii) inductance of the indicator.
(d) Draw and label one vector diagram for the potential differences across the inductor, the capacitor and the resistor in (c) above.
