A 8.8 A and tan1(116){\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{11} \over 6}} \right)
B 88 A and tan1(116){\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{11} \over 6}} \right)
C 0.88 A and tan1(116){\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{11} \over 6}} \right)
D 8.8 A and tan1(611){\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{6} \over 11}} \right)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
ϕ=tan1(XLR)\phi = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{{X_L}} \over R}} \right)
XL=ωL{X_L} = \omega L
XL=2×227×50×0.07=22Ω{X_L} = 2 \times {{22} \over 7} \times 50 \times 0.07 = 22\Omega
ϕ=tan1(2212)\phi = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{22} \over {12}}} \right)
R=12ΩR = 12\Omega
ϕ=tan1(116)\phi = {\tan ^{ - 1}}\left( {{{11} \over 6}} \right)
Z=XL2+R2=25.059Z = \sqrt {X_L^2 + {R^2}} = 25.059
I=VZ=22025.059=8.77AI = {V \over Z} = {{220} \over {25.059}} = 8.77A
Q24
A 100Ω\Omega resistance, a 0.1 μ\muF capacitor and an inductor are connected in series across a 250 V supply at variable frequency. Calculate the value of inductance of inductor at which resonance will occur. Given that the resonant frequency is 60 Hz.
A 0.70 H
B 70.3 mH
C 7.03 ×\times 10-5 H
D 70.3 H
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

C = 0.1 μ\muF = 10-7 F Resonant frequency = 60 Hz.

ω0=1LC{\omega _0} = {1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }}
2πf0=1LCL=14π2f02C2\pi {f_0} = {1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }} \Rightarrow L = {1 \over {4{\pi ^2}f_0^2C}}

by putting values

L70.3L \simeq 70.3

Hz.

Q25
In an ac circuit, an inductor, a capacitor and a resistor are connected in series with XL = R = XC. Impedance of this circuit is :
A 2R2
B Zero
C R
D R2\sqrt 2
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution
Z=(XLXC)2+R2=RZ = \sqrt {{{({X_L} - {X_C})}^2} + {R^2}} = R

\because XL = XC Option (c)

Q26
If L, C and R are the self inductance, capacitance and resistance respectively, which of the following does not have the dimension of time?
A RC
B LR{L \over R}
C LC\sqrt{LC}
D LC{L \over C}
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution
U=12Li2=12CV2U = {1 \over 2}L{i^2} = {1 \over 2}C{V^2}

So,

[LC]=V2i2=R2\left[ {{L \over C}} \right] = {{{V^2}} \over {{i^2}}} = {R^2}

is not the dimension of time.

Q27
A sinusoidal voltage V(t) = 210 sin 3000 t volt is applied to a series LCR circuit in which L = 10 mH, C = 25 μ\muF and R = 100 Ω\Omega. The phase difference (Φ\Phi ) between the applied voltage and resultant current will be :
A tan-1(0.17)
B tan-1(9.46)
C tan-1(0.30)
D tan-1(13.33)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
XL=3000×10×103=30Ω{X_L} = 3000 \times 10 \times {10^{ - 3}} = 30\,\Omega
XC=13000×25×106=403Ω{X_C} = {1 \over {3000 \times 25}} \times {10^6} = {{40} \over 3}\,\Omega

So

XLXC=30403=503Ω{X_L} - {X_C} = 30 - {{40} \over 3} = {{50} \over 3}\,\Omega
tanθ=XLXCR=50/3100=16\tan \theta = {{{X_L} - {X_C}} \over R} = {{50/3} \over {100}} = {1 \over 6}

So

θ=tan1(0.17)\theta = {\tan ^{ - 1}}(0.17)
Q28
In series RLC resonator, if the self inductance and capacitance become double, the new resonant frequency (f2) and new quality factor (Q2) will be : (f1 = original resonant frequency, Q1 = original quality factor)
A f2=f12{f_2} = {{{f_1}} \over 2} and Q2=Q1{Q_2} = {Q_1}
B f2=f1{f_2} = {f_1} and Q2=Q1Q2{Q_2} = {{{Q_1}} \over {{Q_2}}}
C f2=2f1{f_2} = 2{f_1} and Q2=Q1{Q_2} = {Q_1}
D f2=f1{f_2} = {f_1} and Q2=2Q1{Q_2} = 2{Q_1}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

We know, Quality factor (Q factor)

Q1=w1Δw{Q_1} = {{{w_1}} \over {\Delta w}}
=1LC×LR= {1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }} \times {L \over R}
=1RLC= {1 \over R}\sqrt {{L \over C}}

Now, when

L=2LL' = 2L

and

C=2CC' = 2C

then

Q2=1R2L2C=1RLC=Q1{Q_2} = {1 \over R}\sqrt {{{2L} \over {2C}}} = {1 \over R}\sqrt {{L \over C}} = {Q_1}

\therefore Q2 remains same as Q1. Also, as

w1=1LC{w_1} = {1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }}
2πf1=1LC\Rightarrow 2\pi {f_1} = {1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }}
f1=12πLC\Rightarrow {f_1} = {1 \over {2\pi \sqrt {LC} }}

\therefore When

L=2LL' = 2L

and

C=2CC' = 2C

then new resonating frequency

f2=12π2L×2C=12π×2LC=12×f1{f_2} = {1 \over {2\pi \sqrt {2L \times 2C} }} = {1 \over {2\pi \times 2\sqrt {LC} }} = {1 \over 2} \times {f_1}
Q29
To increase the resonant frequency in series LCR circuit,
A source frequency should be increased.
B another resistance should be added in series with the first resistance.
C another capacitor should be added in series with the first capacitor.
D the source frequency should be decreased.
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Resonant frequency

=1LC=ω0= {1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }} = {\omega _0}

\Rightarrow If we decrease C, ω\omega0 would increase \Rightarrow Another capacitor should be added in series.

Q30
A direct current of 4 A4 \mathrm{~A} and an alternating current of peak value 4 A4 \mathrm{~A} flow through resistance of 3Ω3\, \Omega and 2Ω2\,\Omega respectively. The ratio of heat produced in the two resistances in same interval of time will be :
A 3 : 2
B 3 : 1
C 3 : 4
D 4 : 3
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Ratio =

i12R1(i22)2R2=42×3(42)2×2{{i_1^2{R_1}} \over {{{\left( {{{{i_2}} \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2}{R_2}}} = {{{4^2} \times 3} \over {{{\left( {{4 \over {\sqrt 2 }}} \right)}^2} \times 2}}

\Rightarrow Ratio = 3 : 1
