An inductive coil has a resistance of 100   Ω . When an a.c. signal of frequency 1000   Hz is applied to the coil the voltage leads the current by 45 . The inductance of the coil is ( tan 45 = 1 )

A. 0.25 2 π H

B. 0.05 π H

C. 0.25 π H

D. 0.5 π H

Correct Option is (B)

tan ϕ = tan 45 = X L R X L R = 1  or  X L = R 2 π fL = R  or  L = R 2 π f = 100 2 π × 1000 = 0.05 π H

A series LCR circuit with resistance (R) 500   ohm is connected to an a.c. source of 250   V . When only the capacitance is removed, the current lags behind the voltage by 60 . When only the inductance is removed, the current leads the voltage by 60 . The impedance of the circuit is ( tan π 3 = 3 )

A. 500 3 Ω

B. 500 3 Ω

C. 250 Ω

D. 500 Ω

Correct Option is (D)

R = 500 Ω , ϕ = 60

When capacitance is removed

tan ϕ = tan 60 = X L R X L R = 3  OR  X L = R 3

When inductance is removed,

X C R = tan 60 = 3 X C = R 3 X C = X L

Impedance Z = R 2 + ( X L X C ) 2 = R = 500 Ω

When a d.c. voltage of 200   V is applied to a coil of self-inductance ( 2 3 π ) H , a current of 1   A flows through it. But by replacing d.c. source with a.c. source of 200   V , the current in the coil is reduced to 0.5   A . Then the frequency of a.c. supply is

A. 100 Hz

B. 60 Hz

C. 75 Hz

D. 50 Hz

Correct Option is (D)

When a d.c. voltage is applied only the resistance of the coil comes into play, its inductive reactance is zero.

R = V I = 200 1 = 200   Ω

When a.c. voltage is applied, the resistance and inductive reactance come into play and the coil has an impedance Z.

The impedance

Z = V I = 200 0.5 = 400   Ω

Z 2 = R 2 + X L 2

( 400 ) 2 = ( 200 ) 2 + X L 2

X L 2 = ( 400 ) 2 ( 200 ) 2 = 12 × 10 4

X L = 2 3 × 10 2 = 200 3 Ω ..... (1)

Also X L = 2 π fL = 2 π f × 2 3 π = 4 3 f ..... (2)

By (1) and (2) : 4 3 f = 200 3

f = 50   Hz

An inductor coil wound uniformly has self inductance 'L' and resistance 'R'. The coil is broken into two identical parts. The two parts are then connected in parallel across a battery of 'E' volt of negligible internal resistance. The current through battery at steady state is

A. 2 E R

B. 3 E R

C. 4 E R

D. E R

Correct Option is (C)

Since the coils are connected to a dc voltage. Inductive reactance will be zero, only resistance has to be considered.

When the coil is broken into two identical points, each part will have resistance R 2 . When these are connected in parallel, their equivalent resistance will be R 4 . Hence the current I is given by I = E R / 4 = 4 E R

An inductor coil takes current 8A when connected to an 100 V and 50 Hz a.c. source. A pure resistor under the same condition takes current of 10A. If inductor coil and resistor are connected in series to an 100V and 40 Hz a.c. supply, then the current in the series combination of above resistor and inductor is

A. 10 3 A

B. 5 2 A

C. 10 2 A

D. 5 2 A

Correct Option is (D)

Inductive reactance when 100 V, 50 Hz source is connected is given by

X L = V I = 100 8 = 12.5 Ω

Resistance R = V I = 100 10 = 10 Ω

When 100V, 40 Hz supply is connected the inductive reactance will get reduced

Since it is proportional to the frequency

X L = 40 50 = 4 5 X L = 4 5 X L = 4 5 × 12.5 = 10 Ω

The resistance will remain same. When they are connected in series the impedance will be given by

Z = R 2 + X L 2 = ( 10 ) 2 + ( 10 ) 2 = 10 2 A I = V Z = 100 10 2 = 5 2   A
