SOLUTIONS
S1. Ans.(b)
Sol. In a series RLC circuit, voltage across inductor lead the current by 90⁰. so, the phase difference between the voltage across the inductor and the current is 90⁰.
NOTE: For Series RLC circuit……………….
When XL > XC, the phase angle ϕ is positive. The circuit behaves as RL series circuit in which the current lags behind the applied voltage and the power factor is lagging.
When XL < XC, the phase angle ϕ is negative, and the circuit acts as a series RC circuit in which the current leads the voltage by 90 degrees. i.e., power factor is leading.
When XL = XC, the phase angle ϕ is zero, as a result, the circuit behaves like a purely resistive circuit. In this type of circuit, the current and voltage are in phase with each other. The value of the power factor is unity.
S2. Ans.(a)
Sol. The current in the inductor lags the voltage in a series RLC circuit if circuit is inductive dominant i.e., ω > ω_0. So, the current in the inductor lags the voltage in a series RLC circuit above the resonant frequency.
S3. Ans.(b)
Sol. The current in the capacitor leads the voltage in a series RLC circuit if circuit is capacitive dominant i.e., ω < ω0. So, the current in the capacitor leads the voltage in a series RLC circuit below the resonant frequency.
S4. Ans.(d)
Sol. In a PN junction diode,
r = (ηV_T)/I
Transconductance = 1/resistance
So, g_m = I/(ηV_T )
Therefore, in case of a PN junction diode’s dynamic conductance is directly proportional to its current.
S5. Ans.(a)
Sol. Insulators have Negative Temperature Coefficient of resistance because its resistance decreases with increment of temperature. On increasing temperature insulator may
start conducting that means their resistance is decreasing.
S6. Ans.(a)
Sol. For series connection, lower power rating bulb will glow more.
S7. Ans.(d)
Sol. tan ϕ =400/300=4/3
∴cos ϕ =3/5
P= V_rms I_rms cosϕ
⇒300= 250 ×I_rms×3/5
⇒I_rms= 2 A.
S8. Ans.(d)
Sol. in synchronous motor
>3-ϕ AC supply on → Stator
>DC supply on → Rotor
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol. To eliminate n^th harmonic, the displacement angle (β) = (180°)/n
According to Question,
To eliminate 5th harmonic, β = (180°)/5=36°
S10. Ans.(d)
Sol. Differential relays:
>Used against internal faults
>Used for protection of transformers, feeders, alternators, bus-bars etc.
