A capacitor of reactance 4 3 Ω and a resistor of resistance 4 Ω are connected in series with an ac source of peak value 8 2   V . The power dissipation in the circuit is __________ W.

Correct answer is 4

To calculate the power dissipation in the circuit, we follow a systematic approach. We're provided with the reactance of the capacitor ( X C = 4 3 Ω ), the resistance ( R = 4 Ω ), and the peak value of the AC voltage source ( V p e a k = 8 2 V ). The power dissipated in an AC circuit is primarily through the resistive component, as inductors and capacitors store and release energy but do not dissipate it as heat.

First, we need to determine the effective impedance of the series circuit, which combines the resistance (R) and the capacitive reactance (X_C) in a series configuration. We calculate the impedance (Z) using the formula:

Z = R 2 + X C 2

Plugging in the given values:

Z = ( 4 ) 2 + ( 4 3 ) 2

Z = 16 + 48 = 64 = 8 Ω

Next, we convert the peak voltage to RMS (root mean square) voltage because power calculations in AC circuits are performed using RMS values. The formula to convert peak voltage ( V p e a k ) to RMS voltage ( V R M S ) is:

V R M S = V p e a k 2

Plugging in the given peak voltage value:

V R M S = 8 2 2 = 8 V

Now, to find the RMS current ( I R M S ) in the circuit, we use Ohm's law as applied to AC circuits, which is I R M S = V R M S Z :

I R M S = 8 8 = 1 A

Finally, the power dissipated in the circuit is calculated using the formula for power in resistive components of an AC circuit, which is P = I R M S 2 × R :

P = ( 1 ) 2 × 4 = 4 W

Therefore, the power dissipation in the circuit is 4 W.

When a coil is connected across a 20   V dc supply, it draws a current of 5   A . When it is connected across 20   V , 50   Hz ac supply, it draws a current of 4   A . The self inductance of the coil is __________ mH . (Take π = 3 )

Correct answer is 10

Let's first determine the resistance of the coil when connected to a DC supply. The current drawn by the coil in a DC circuit can be used to calculate its resistance using Ohm's law:

R = V I

Given the DC supply voltage V D C = 20 V and the current I D C = 5 A , the resistance R is:

R = 20 V 5 A = 4 Ω

Next, let's use the information given for the AC supply. When connected to an AC supply, the coil's impedance Z can be determined using the given current. The total voltage and current in an AC circuit are related to the impedance by the formula:

Z = V I

Given the AC supply voltage V A C = 20 V and the current I A C = 4 A , the impedance Z is:

Z = 20 V 4 A = 5 Ω

The impedance Z of the coil in an AC circuit is composed of both the resistance R and the inductive reactance X L , related by:

Z = R 2 + X L 2

We already know that R = 4 Ω . We can now solve for the inductive reactance X L :

5 = 4 2 + X L 2

Squaring both sides of the equation:

25 = 16 + X L 2

Solving for X L :

X L 2 = 25 16

X L 2 = 9

X L = 9

X L = 3 Ω

The inductive reactance X L is also related to the inductance L and the angular frequency ω by the formula:

X L = ω L

where ω = 2 π f . Given the frequency f = 50 Hz and using π = 3 , we find:

ω = 2 × 3 × 50

ω = 300 rad / s

Now we can solve for the inductance L :

X L = 300 L

3 = 300 L

L = 3 300

L = 0.01 H

Since 1 H = 1000 mH , the self inductance of the coil is:

L = 0.01 H × 1000 mH / H = 10 mH

Therefore, the self inductance of the coil is 10 mH .

An alternating emf E = 110 2 sin 100 t volt is applied to a capacitor of 2 μ F , the rms value of current in the circuit is ________ mA .

Correct answer is 22

To determine the RMS (Root Mean Square) value of the current in the circuit, we start by analyzing the given emf and the capacitive reactance.

The given alternating emf is:

E = 110 2 sin 100 t volts

Here, the peak voltage (or maximum voltage) E max is:

E max = 110 2 volts

Next, the RMS value of the voltage, E rms , is obtained by dividing the peak voltage by 2 :

E rms = E max 2 = 110 2 2 = 110 volts

We are given a capacitor with a capacitance C = 2 μ F = 2 × 10 6 F and we need to determine the RMS current. The capacitive reactance X C is given by:

X C = 1 ω C

where ω is the angular frequency. From the given formula for emf, we see that:

ω = 100 rad/s

Therefore, the capacitive reactance is:

X C = 1 100 × ( 2 × 10 6 ) = 1 200 × 10 6 = 5000 Ω

Now, we can calculate the RMS value of the current I rms using Ohm's law for AC circuits, which states:

I rms = E rms X C

Substituting the known values:

I rms = 110 5000 = 0.022 A = 22 mA

Hence, the RMS value of the current in the circuit is 22 mA .

For a given series LCR circuit it is found that maximum current is drawn when value of variable capacitance is 2.5   nF . If resistance of 200 Ω and 100   mH inductor is being used in the given circuit. The frequency of ac source is _________ × 10 3   Hz (given a 2 = 10 )

Correct answer is 10

To solve this problem, we need to use the concept of resonance in an LCR (inductor-capacitor-resistor) circuit. At resonance, the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance cancel each other out. The condition for resonance in an LCR circuit is given by:

ω L = 1 ω C

Where:

  • ω is the angular frequency
  • L is the inductance
  • C is the capacitance

Rewriting for angular frequency:

ω 2 = 1 L C

The angular frequency ω is related to the frequency f by:

ω = 2 π f

Substituting this into the equation for angular frequency gives:

( 2 π f ) 2 = 1 L C

Therefore, the frequency f can be found by:

f = 1 2 π L C

Given values:

  • Inductance, L = 100   mH = 100 × 10 3   H
  • Capacitance, C = 2.5   nF = 2.5 × 10 9   F

Plug these values into the frequency equation:

f = 1 2 π ( 100 × 10 3 ) ( 2.5 × 10 9 )

First, calculate the product of L and C :

L C = 100 × 10 3 2.5 × 10 9 = 2.5 × 10 10

Now, take the square root of the product:

2.5 × 10 10 = 2.5 × 10 5

Given that a 2 = 10 , we have:

a = 10

Since 2.5 = 10 2 :

2.5 × 10 5 = 10 2 × 10 5

Now substitute back into the frequency formula:

f = 1 2 π ( 10 2 × 10 5 ) = 1 π 10 × 10 5

Simplify the equation:

f = 10 5 π 10

Given that π 3.14 , we get:

f 10 5 3.14 × 3.162

Simplify further:

f 10 5 9.93 10 × 10 3   Hz

Thus, the frequency of the AC source is approximately:

10 × 10 3   Hz
