Solution
S1. Ans.(a)
Sol. XL = 2π f L. Therefore, XL ∝f
S2. Ans.(d)
Sol. V_m=√2×V_(r.m.s.)=√2×500 volts ;I_m=V_m/R=(√2×500)/(10×10^3 ) A
Now, i=I_m sinθ=(√2×500)/(10×10^3 ) sin35°=40.6×10^(-3) A=40.6 mA
S3. Ans.(a)
Sol. The average power dissipated by an inductor is zero.
S4. Ans.(b)
Sol. The device is doing half-wave rectification. For half-wave rectified sinusoidal current, average value is Iav = Im/π = 10/π = 3.18 A (∵ Im = 200/20 = 10 A).
S5. Ans.(b)
Sol. Supply voltage = √(V_R^2+V_L^2 )=√((3)^2+(4)²)=5 V
S6. Ans.(c)
Sol. Net reactance, X = XL – XC = 20 – 12 = 8 Ω (inductive)
Z=√(R^2+X^2 )=√(6^2+8^2 )= 10 Ω; cos ϕ =R/Z = 6/10 = 0.6 lagging
S7. Ans.(c)
Sol. The power factor of a series resonant circuit is unity. Therefore, the total impedance of a series resonant circuit is purely resistive
S8. Ans.(b)
Sol.
S9. Ans.(b)
Sol.
=1/ωC∠-90° or 1/jωC∠90°
S10. Ans.(c)
Sol. In a parallel LC circuit, the current IC or IL at resonance is much greater than the line current but IC and IL are in phase opposition. Therefore, line current is much less than IL or IC.
