    Domestic power supply in India is

    Solutions

    Explanation:The standard voltage and frequency of alternating current supply in India is set to 220 V and 50Hz respectively by the government of India becausewhen power has to be transmitted from a power plant, the biggest challenge is to cut the transmission losses. For this purpose, the current value should be small and potential difference(Voltage) should be more. Also losses are minimal at 50 Hz/60 Hz frequency.

  • Question 4/30
    1 / -0

    The current amplitude in a pure inductor in a radio receiver is to be 250 μA when the voltage amplitude is 3.60 V at a frequency of 1.60 MHz (at the upper end of the AM broadcast band). If the voltage amplitude is kept constant, what will be the current amplitude through this inductor at 16.0 MHz?

    Solutions

    I0=250μA, v0=3.6v .  v=1.6x106 Hz
    Here,
    (Reactance of inductance) XL=ωL
    XL=2πv X L
    v0/I0=2πv x L
    3.6/2.5x10-4=2πx1.6x10-6 x L
    0.14x104-6=L
    L=0.14x10-2H
    Now for v=16.0x106Hz
    XL=2πv X L
    =2πx16x106x14x10-4
    XL=1407x102Ω
    Now,
    v0=I0 x XL
    3.6/1407x102=I0   [∵v0=kept constant.]
    I0=0.00256x10-2
    I0=25.6μA

  • Question 7/30
    1 / -0

    At resonance the current in an LCR circuit

    Solutions

    Since the current flowing through a series resonance circuit is the product of voltage divided by impedance, at resonance the impedance, Z is at its minimum value, ( =R ). Therefore, the circuit current at this frequency will be at its maximum value of V/R

  • Question 8/30
    1 / -0

    A sinusoidal voltage of peak value 283 V and frequency 50 Hz is applied to a series LCR circuit in which R = 3 Ω, L = 25.48 mH, and C = 796 μF. Power dissipated in the circuit; and the power factor are

    Solutions

    Angular frequency of the ac signal w=2πν
    ∴ w=2π(50)=100π
    Capacitive reactance Xc​=1/wC​
    ∴ Xc​=1/(100π×786×10−6)​=4Ω
    Inductive reactance XL​=wL
    ∴ XL​=100π×(25.48×10−3)=8Ω
    Impedance of the circuit Z=√[R2+(XL​−Xc​)2​]
    ∴ Z=√[32+(8−4)2​]=5Ω
     Phase difference ϕ=tan−1[(XL​−Xc​​)R]
    Or ϕ=tan−1((8−4​)/3)=tan−1(4/3​)
    ⟹ ϕ=53.13o
    Power factor cosϕ=cos53.13o=0.6
    Power dissipated in the circuit
    P=Iv2R
    Now, Iv=I0/√2=E0/√2Z=283/(1.414×5)=40A
    ∴P=Iv2R=(40)2×3=4800 watt

    Explanation:Alternating Current is the current in which the polarity of source continuously changes on a fixed frequency. So the positive and the negative terminals ‘alternate’

  • Question 12/30
    1 / -0

    Transformer uses the principle of

    Solutions

    The Voltage Transformer can be thought of as an electrical component rather than an electronic component. A transformer basically is very simple static (or stationary) electro-magnetic passive electrical device that works on the principle of Faraday’s law of induction by converting electrical energy from one value to another.
     
    The transformer does this by linking together two or more electrical circuits using a common oscillating magnetic circuit which is produced by the transformer itself. A transformer operates on the principles of “electromagnetic induction”, in the form of  Mutual Induction.
    Mutual induction is the process by which a coil of wire magnetically induces a voltage into another coil located in close proximity to it. Then we can say that transformers work in the “magnetic domain”, and transformers get their name from the fact that they “transform” one voltage or current level into another.

  • Question 13/30
    1 / -0

    In the free oscillations of an LC circuit, the sum of energies stored in the capacitor and the inductor.

    Solutions

    At any time, t
    energy stored in capacitor, EC=q2/2C
    Total energy stored in C and L at any time t
    E=EC+EL
    E=(q2/2C)+(LI2/2)
    If q=q0sinωt
    I=dq/dt=q0cosωtω=ωq0cosωt
    Put in (i), E=[(q0sinωt)2/2C] + L(ωq0cosωt)2/2
    E=(q02/2C) sin2ωt+(q02/2)cos2ωt.ω2L
    But ω2=12/LC
    ∴E=(q02/2C) sin2ωt+(q02/2) (L/LC) cos2ωt
    =q02/2C(sin2ωt+cos2ωt)
    =q02/2C= constant in time.

    1 / -0

    In an L-R-C series circuit, the rms voltage across the resistor is 30.0 V, across the capacitor it is 90.0 V, and across the inductor it is 50.0 V. Rms voltage of the source is

    Solutions

    Changes(if required): The answer provided in the forum is wrong, The correct answer would be option B.
    Solution:
    Given,
    VR-rms =30.0V
    VC-rms=90.0V
    VL-rms=50.0V
    To find the root mean square voltage across the source, we will use the formula,
    Vrms=√[Vr2+(VL-VC)2]
    =√[(30.0V)2 +(50.0V-90.0V)2]
    =50.0 V

  • Question 19/30
    1 / -0

    Average power supplied to an inductor over one complete cycle

    Solutions

    Explanation:In the first half of the cycle, power is supplied to the inductive circuit. In the next half the inductor dissipates the energy supplied by circuit.Thus overall no power is supplied to the circuit

  • Question 20/30
    1 / -0

    A light bulb is rated at 50W for a 220 V supply. The resistance of the bulb, the peak voltage of the source and the rms current through the bulb are

    Solutions

    Given    P=50W, Vrms​=220V,
    by     P=Vrms2​​/R
    or      R=Vrms2/P​​= 2202/50=968Ω
    The peak voltage of the source is,
    Erms=E0/√2
    =>E0=Erms x √2=220√2=311.13V
    Now, 
    Irms​=Vrms​​/R
    =220/968​
    =0.227A
    Hence option B is correct.

  • Question 21/30
    1 / -0

    An electric hair dryer is rated at 1500 W (the average power) at 120 V (the rms voltage). Calculate (a) the resistance, (b) the rms current, and (c) the maximum instantaneous power. Assume that the dryer is a pure resistor.

    Solutions

    Given,
    Pavg=1200W
    Vrms=120 Volts
    A,
    The resistance is,
    R=Vrms2/Pavg
    So,R=1202/1500=9.6ohm
    B,
    The rms current is,
    Irms=Vrms/R
    So, Irms=120/9.6
    =>Irms=12.5A
    C,
    The maximum instantaneous power is,
    Pm=2Pavg
    So,Pm=2(1500)
    =>Pm=3000W.
    Hence option D is the correct answer.
     

  • Question 22/30
    1 / -0

    You have a 200.0 ΩΩ resistor, a 0.400-H inductor, a 5.0 μF capacitor, and a variable frequency ac source with an amplitude of 3.00 V. You connect all four elements together to form a series circuit. Frequency at which current in the circuit is greatest and its amplitude are

    Solutions

    The resistance is R=200ohm the inductor is L=0.4 H, the capacitance is C=5  µF and the amplitude voltage is V=CV
    The frequency depends on the inductance and the capacitance and it is given by,
    f0=1/ (2π√(LC))  
    So, plug the values of L and C into equation 1 to get f0
    f0=1/ (2π√(LC))=2/(2π√[0.4H)(5x10-6)]=113Hz
    for the current, we use ohm’s law to get the current,
    I=V/R
    Now, plug the values for V and R to get I
    I=V/R=3V/200Ω=0.015A=15mA
     

  • Question 23/30
    1 / -0

    An LC circuit contains a 20 mH inductor and a 50 μF capacitor with an initial charge of 10 mC. The resistance of the circuit is negligible. Natural frequency of the circuit is

    Solutions

    Natural frequency of the circuit, f = 1/2π√(LC)
    here, L = 20mH = 20 × 10-3 H, C = 50μF = 50 × 10-6 C
    so, f = 1/2π√(20 × 10-3 × 50 × 10-6)
    = 1/2π√(1000 × 10-9)
    = 1/2π√(10-6)
    = 1000/2π = 500/π Hz ≈ 159 Hz

  • Question 24/30
    1 / -0

    A hair dryer meant for 110V 60Hz is to be used in India . If 220 V is the supply voltage in India , the turns ratio for a transformer would be

    Solutions

    Here Vp=220V Vs=110V
    As we know the relation between V and n,
    As,
    Ve/Vs=np/ns ->220/110
    Np/ns=2/1=2:1
    Therefore, no. of turns in primary is greater than no. of turns in secondary,
    Hence, it is a step-down transformer.

  • Question 25/30
    1 / -0

    You have a 200.0 ΩΩ resistor, a 0.400-H inductor, 5.0 μF a capacitor, and a variable frequency ac source with an amplitude of 3.00 V. You connect all four elements together to form a series circuit. Current amplitude at an angular frequency of 400 rad/s is

    Solutions

    Given,
    The resistance is R=200ohm the inductor is L=0.4 H, the capacitance is C=5  µF and the amplitude voltage is V=CV
    The frequency depends on the inductance and the capacitance and it is given by,
    f0=1/ (2π√(LC))  (1)
    So, plug the values of L and C into equation 1 to get f0
    f0=1/ (2π√(LC))=2/(2π√[0.4H)(5x10-6)]=113Hz
     
    The inductance reactance of the coil and could be calculated by,
    XL=ωL
    Plug the values for L and ω to get XL
    XL= ωL=2π(113Hz)(0.4)=160ohm
     To get the capacitive reactance we use the formula,
    XC=1/ωC
    Now, we plus the values for ω and C to get XC
    XC=1/ ωC=1/2π(113Hz)(5x10-6)=500ohm
    We use the inductor, the resistor and the capacitor, so the impedance of the circuit is given by the equation,
    Z=√(R2+(XL-XC)2 )  (2)
    Now, we use the values for XR,XL and R into equation (2) to get Z
    Z= √ (R2+(XL-XC)2 )
       =√ ((200Ω)2+(160Ω-500Ω)2 )
       =394.5Ω
    The impedance represents the total resistance in the circuit, so we can use the value in Ohm’s law to get the current amplitude I in the circuit,
    I=V/Z
    So, plus the values of V and Z to get I,
    I=V/Z=3V/394.5Ω=0.0076A=7.61mA

  • Question 26/30
    1 / -0

    In an inductance the current

    Solutions

    In an inductor, current lags behind the input voltage by a phase difference of π/2.
    Current and voltage are in the same phase in the resistor whereas current leads the voltage by π/2 in a capacitor.
    So, the circuit must contain an inductor only.

  • Question 27/30
    1 / -0

    A lamp is connected in series with a capacitor and connected to an AC source. As the capacitance value is decreased.

    Solutions

    When frequency decreases, capacitive reactance XC​=1/2πνC​ increases and hence impedance in the circuit Z=√(R2+XC2​)​ increases and so current I=V/Z​ decreases. As a result, the brightness of the bulb is reduced.

    peak current, I0=?
    a.   In RC,as
    Z=√(R2+XC2)= √[R2+(1/ ω2C2)]
    Therefore,
    I0=E0/√[R2+(1/ ω2C2)]
      =√2x100/√[1600+(1/120πx10-4)2]
    I0=3.23amp
    b.   In RC circuit voltage lags behind the current by phase angle Φ, where Φ is given by,
    tanΦ=(1/ω)/R
    =1/ωCR
    =1/(120πx10-4x40)
    =0.6628
    ⇒ Φ=tan-1(0.6628) =33.5o
    =(33.5π/180)rad
    Time lag= Φ/ω
    =33.5π/180x120π
    =1.55x10-3 sec.

  • Question 29/30
    1 / -0

    You have a special light bulb with a very delicate wire filament. The wire will break if the current in it ever exceeds 1.50 A, even for an instant. What is the largest root-mean-square current you can run through this bulb?

    Solutions

    Given,
    We are given the current I=1.5Am where the wire will break.
    We are asked to determine the root mean square of the current Irms. The maximum current here represents the current that just after it the wire will break. The maximum value of the current is the amplitude of the current wave and it should be larger than the root mean square of the current. Using equation, we can get the Irms in the form,
    Irms = Imax/√2
    The term, 1/√2, times any factor represents the root mean square of this factor, Now, plug the value for Imax into equation 1 and get Irms
    Irms=Imax/√2
         =1.5A/√2
         =1.06A.
