Q72
An alternating current is given by the equation i = i1 sin ω\omegat + i2 cos ω\omegat. The rms current will be :
A 12(i12+i22)12{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}{\left( {i_1^2 + i_2^2} \right)^{{1 \over 2}}}
B 12(i1+i2){1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}({i_1} + {i_2})
C 12(i1+i2)2{1 \over {\sqrt 2 }}{({i_1} + {i_2})^2}
D 12(i12+i22)12{1 \over 2}{\left( {i_1^2 + i_2^2} \right)^{{1 \over 2}}}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
I0=I12+I22+2I1I2cosθ{I_0} = \sqrt {I_1^2 + I_2^2 + 2{I_1}{I_2}\cos \theta }
I0=I12+I22+2I1I2cos90{I_0} = \sqrt {I_1^2 + I_2^2 + 2{I_1}{I_2}\cos 90^\circ }
I0=I12+I22+2I1I2(0)=I12+I22{I_0} = \sqrt {I_1^2 + I_2^2 + 2{I_1}{I_2}(0)} = \sqrt {I_1^2 + I_2^2}

We know that,

Irms=I02{I_{rms}} = {{{I_0}} \over {\sqrt 2 }}

So,

Irms=I12+I222{I_{rms}} = {{\sqrt {I_1^2 + I_2^2} } \over {\sqrt 2 }}

Q74
In a series LCR resonance circuit, if we change the resistance only, from a lower to higher value :
A The bandwidth of resonance circuit will increase.
B The resonance frequency will increase.
C The quality factor will increase.
D The quality factor and the resonance frequency will remain constant.
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution
ω=1LC{\omega } = {1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }}

\Rightarrow 2π\pif =

1LC{1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }}

\Rightarrow f =

12πLC{1 \over {2\pi \sqrt {LC} }}

f does not depends on resistance(R). Quality factor,

Q=ωLRQ = {{\omega L} \over R}

\Rightarrow

Q1RQ \propto {1 \over R}

So if R increase then Q will decrease. Also,

Q=ωLR=ωΔβQ = {{\omega L} \over R} = {\omega \over {\Delta \beta}}

where

Δβ\Delta \beta

= bandwidth

Δβ=RL\Delta \beta = {R \over L}

So if R increase then

Δβ\Delta \beta

will increase too.

Q75
In an a.c.a.c. circuit the voltage applied is E=E0sinωt.E = {E_0}\,\sin \,\omega t. The resulting current in the circuit is I=I0sin(ωtπ2).I = {I_0}\sin \left( {\omega t - {\pi \over 2}} \right). The power consumption in the circuit is given by
A P=2E0I0P = \sqrt 2 {E_0}{I_0}
B P=E0I02P = {{{E_0}{I_0}} \over {\sqrt 2 }}
C P=zeroP=zero
D P=E0I02P = {{{E_0}{I_0}} \over 2}
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

KEY CONCEPT : We know that power consumed in a.c. circuit is given by,

P=ErmsIrmscosϕP = {E_{rms}}{I_{rms}}\cos \phi

Here,

E=E0sinωtE = {E_0}\sin \omega t
I=I0sin(ωtπ2)I = {I_0}\sin \left( {\omega t - {\pi \over 2}} \right)

which implies that the phase difference,

ϕ=π2\phi = {\pi \over 2}

\therefore

P=Erms.Irms.cosπ2=0P = {E_{rms}}.{I_{rms}}.\cos {\pi \over 2} = 0
(\left( {\,\,} \right.

as

cosπ2=0)\left. {\,\,\cos {\pi \over 2} = 0\,\,} \right)
Q76
A LCR circuit is at resonance for a capacitor C, inductance L and resistance R. Now the value of resistance is halved keeping all other parameters same. The current amplitude at resonance will be now:
A halved
B same
C Zero
D double
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

To solve this problem, we need to understand the relationship between the current amplitude in a series LCR circuit at resonance and the resistance R R .

At resonance, the impedance Z Z of the series LCR circuit is equal to the resistance R R , and thus:

Z=RZ = R

The amplitude of the current I0 I_0 at resonance is given by Ohm's law:

I0=V0RI_0 = \frac{V_0}{R}

where V0 V_0 is the amplitude of the voltage supplied.

Now, if the resistance R R is halved while keeping the voltage amplitude V0 V_0 , capacitance C C , and inductance L L the same, the new resistance becomes:

Rnew=R2R_{new} = \frac{R}{2}

The new current amplitude I0 I_0' at resonance is given by the modified Ohm's law:

I0=V0Rnew=V0R2=2V0R=2×I0I_0' = \frac{V_0}{R_{new}} = \frac{V_0}{\frac{R}{2}} = \frac{2V_0}{R} = 2 \times I_0

Therefore, the current amplitude at resonance will be doubled. Hence, the correct answer is: Option D: double

Q77

A 50, 0
B 50, 10
C 10002,10{{1000} \over {\sqrt 2 }},10
D 502{{50} \over {\sqrt 2 }}
Correct Answer

Solution

Wattless current, here ϕ\phi is the angle between i and e. Average power, Pav = Vrms Irms cosϕ\phi =

1002×202{{100} \over {\sqrt 2 }} \times {{20} \over {\sqrt 2 }}

Q78
A series LCR circuit is connected to an alternating source of emf E. The current amplitude at resonant frequency is I0I_0. If the value of resistance R becomes twice of its initial value then amplitude of current at resonance will be
A I02\dfrac{\mathrm{I}_0}{2}
B I02\dfrac{\mathrm{I}_0}{\sqrt{2}}
C 2I02 \mathrm{I}_0
D I0\mathrm{I_0}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

At resonance in a series LCR circuit, the reactive components (inductive and capacitive) cancel each other out, leaving only the resistance.

Therefore, the amplitude of the current is given by:

I0=ERI_0 = \frac{E}{R}

Now, if the resistance is doubled, the new resistance becomes 2R2R. The current amplitude at resonance then becomes:

I=E2R=12(ER)=I02I = \frac{E}{2R} = \frac{1}{2}\left(\frac{E}{R}\right) = \frac{I_0}{2}

Thus, the amplitude of current at resonance when the resistance is doubled is I02 \dfrac{I_0}{2} .

The correct option is A.

Q79
A fully charged capacitor CC with initial charge q0{q_0} is connected to a coil of self inductance LL at t=0.t=0. The time at which the energy is stored equally between the electric and the magnetic fields is :
A π4LC{\pi \over 4}\sqrt {LC}
B 2πLC2\pi \sqrt {LC}
C LC\sqrt {LC}
D πLC\pi \sqrt {LC}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Energy stored in magnetic field

=12Li2= {1 \over 2}L{i^2}

Energy stored in electric field

=12q2C= {1 \over 2}{{{q^2}} \over C}

\therefore

12Li2=12q2C{1 \over 2}L{i^2} = {1 \over 2}{{{q^2}} \over C}

Also

q=q0cosωtq = {q_0}\,\cos \,\omega t

and

ω=1LC\omega = {1 \over {\sqrt {LC} }}

On solving

t=π4LCt = {\pi \over 4}\sqrt {LC}
