Q 11 :    

A circuit when connected to an AC source of 12 V gives a current of 0.2 A. The same circuit when connected to a DC source of 12 V, gives a current of 0.4 A. The circuit is    [2019]

  • series LR

     

  • series RC

     

  • series LC

     

  • series LCR

     

(1)

When the circuit is connected to an AC source of 12 V, it gives a current of 0.2 A.

∴   ImpedanceZ=120.2=60Ω

When the same circuit is connected to a DC source of 12 V, it gives a current of 0.4 A.

  ResistanceR=120.4=30Ω

As, power factor, cosϕ=RZ=3060=12=cos60°

ϕ=60°, i.e., current lags behind the emf.

So, we can conclude that the circuit is a series LR.



Q 12 :    

Which of the following combinations should be selected for better tuning of an L-C-R circuit used for communication?          [2016]
 

  • R=20Ω,L=1.5H,C=35μF

     

  • R=25Ω,L=2.5H,C=45μF

     

  • R=15Ω,L=3.5H,C=30μF

     

  • R=25Ω,L=1.5H,C=45μF

     

(3)

Quality factor of an L-C-R circuit is given by,

Q=1RLC

Q1=1201.535×10-6=50×370=10.35

Q2=125×2.545×10-6=40×590=9.43

Q3=1153.530×10-6=10015353=22.77

Q4=125×1.545×10-6=4030=7.30

Clearly Q3 is maximum of Q1,Q2,Q3, and Q4.

Hence, option (3) should be selected for better tuning of an L-C-R circuit.



Q 13 :    

A series R-C circuit is connected to an alternating voltage source. Consider two situations:

(p) When capacitor is air filled.

(q) When capacitor is mica filled.

Current through resistor is i and voltage across capacitor is V then                 [2015]

  • ip>iq

     

  • Vp=Vq

     

  • Vp<Vq

     

  • Vp>Vq

     

(4)

Current through resistor,

i = Current in the circuit

    =V0R2+XC2=V0R2+(1ωC)2

Voltage across capacitor, V=iXC

      =V0R2+(1ωC)2×1ωC=V0R2ω2C2+1

As  Cp<Cq      ip<iq and Vp>Vq
