inductive and purely capacitive circuits are opposite. A
phrase that may help to remember the relationship is; ELI
the ICE man with E presenting voltage (for emf) and I
representing current. ELI indicates that with an inductance

you that with a capacitance (C) the current leads the
voltage by 900. Ans. A

14. if light with photon energy 2eV is incident on the surface of
a metal with work function 3eV, no electron will be

Two of many testimonies:

“This is an amazing application. I personally recommend this for all UNN ASPIRANTS
as it's not all only educational but also affordable and free (you cannot get this
elsewhere). Thank you "All School" for putting this up. It will surely reduce the stress
students go through trying to access UNN post-utme past questions and answers. And
to think that the app is also accessible offline is equally commendable. I LOVE THIS!!!! ”
– Obinna, UNN 2020 aspirant who is now a medical student in UNN

“Wow! This app is extraordinary. Especially when you are using the premium mode. Its
always available for use, online and offline, no stress, so when am out of data, i can
still have access to my app. Also, going through the questions and answering them,
helps me know how far i have gone with my studies. And then seeing the question in
the format of the post utme exam keeps me at ease, cos i now know how the settings
look like. I just love this App, kudos!” – Ifeoma, UNN 2020 aspirant who is now a
