Q 1 :

An AC voltage source of variable angular frequency ω and fixed amplitude V0 is connected in series with a capacitance C and an electric bulb of resistance R (inductance zero). When ω is increased                                       [2010]

  • the bulb glows dimmer

     

  • the bulb glows brighter

     

  • total impedance of the circuit is unchanged

     

  • total impedance of the circuit increases

     

(2)

Irms=VrmsZ=VrmsR2+(1ωC)2

As ω increases, Irms through the bulb increases. Hence the bulb glows brighter.

If the circuit consists possibly only of R-C or R-L or L-C in series, find the relationship between the two elements.                       [2003]

From e=E0sin(100t),  ω=100

From the given graph, current leads emf. Hence this is an R-C circuit.

Q 4 :

Consider an LC circuit, with inductance L = 0.1 H and capacitance C=10-3F, kept on a plane. The area of the circuit is 1m2. It is placed in a constant magnetic field of strength B0, which is perpendicular to the plane of the circuit. At time t=0, the magnetic field strength starts increasing linearly as B=B0+βt with β=0.04Ts-1. The maximum magnitude of the current in the circuit is _______ mA.                          [2022]



(4)

[IMAGE 983]

Induced emf, E=|dϕdt|=ddt(BA)=Addt(B0+βt)=Aβ=1×0.04=0.04 V

So, the circuit can be drawn as

By KVL,    E=Ldidt+qC

  Ldidt=E-qC

Since i=dqdt,

  d2qdt2=-1LC(q-CE)

Comparing it with the equation of SHM, we get

q=CE+Asin(ωt+ϕ),  where ω=1LC

So,  i=Aωcos(ωt+ϕ)

At t=0q=0 and i=0

So, O=CE+Asinϕ    Asinϕ=-CE    (i)

       O=cosϕ    ϕ=π2    (ii)

From (i) and (ii), we get

        A=-CE

So, i=-CEωcos(ωt+π2)=CEωsinωt

Therefore, imax=CEω=10-3×0.04×10.1×10-3=4 mA

  I=VR[e-RtL-e-Rt2L]    (i)

For ImaxdIdt=0

[IMAGE 989]

  VR[-RLe-RtL-(-R2L)e-Rt2L]=0

  e-Rt2L=12(R2L)t=ln2            t=2LRln2

This is the time when I is maximum.
