Domestic power supply in India is
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.
For a series LCR circuit the input impedance at resonance
Resonance occurs when XL = XC and the imaginary part of the transfer function is zero. At resonance the impedance of the circuit is equal to the resistance value as Z = R.

The main reason for preferring usage of AC voltage over DC voltage
Explanation:By using the phenomenon of mutual induction, transformers allow us to easily change voltage of AC. This is necessary to cut down poer losses while supplying electricity to our homes
At resonance the current in an LCR circuit
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
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

The voltage in India is 220 volts, alternating at 50 cycles (Hertz) per second. This is the same as, or similar to, most countries in the world including Australia, Europe and the UK. However, it's different to the 110-120 volt electricity with 60 cycles per second that's used in the United States for small appliances.
Alternating current is so called because
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’
Transformer uses the principle of
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.

A radio can tune over the frequency range of a portion of MW broadcast band: (800 kHz to 1200 kHz). If its LC circuit has an effective inductance of 200 μH, what must be the range of its variable capacitor?
So the range is 88 - 198 pF
Average power supplied to an inductor over one complete cycle
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
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
Given P=50W, Vrms=220V,by P=Vrms2/Ror R=Vrms2/P= 2202/50=968ΩThe peak voltage of the source is,Erms=E0/√2=>E0=Erms x √2=220√2=311.13VNow, Irms=Vrms/R=220/968=0.227AHence option B is correct.
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.

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
The resistance is R=200ohm the inductor is L=0.4 H, the capacitance is C=5 µF and the amplitude voltage is V=CVThe 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 f0f0=1/ (2π√(LC))=2/(2π√[0.4H)(5x10-6)]=113Hzfor the current, we use ohm’s law to get the current,I=V/RNow, plug the values for V and R to get II=V/R=3V/200Ω=0.015A=15mA
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
Natural frequency of the circuit, f = 1/2π√(LC)here, L = 20mH = 20 × 10-3 H, C = 50μF = 50 × 10-6 Cso, 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
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
Here Vp=220V Vs=110VAs we know the relation between V and n,As,Ve/Vs=np/ns ->220/110Np/ns=2/1=2:1Therefore, no. of turns in primary is greater than no. of turns in secondary,Hence, it is a step-down transformer.

In an inductance the current
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.
A lamp is connected in series with a capacitor and connected to an AC source. As the capacitance value is decreased.
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.
A 100 μF capacitor in series with a 40 Ω resistance is connected to a 110 V, 60 Hz supply. Maximum current in the circuit and time lag between the current maximum and the voltage maximum are

In RC,asZ=√(R2+XC2)= √[R2+(1/ ω2C2)]Therefore,I0=E0/√[R2+(1/ ω2C2)] =√2x100/√[1600+(1/120πx10-4)2]I0=3.23ampb. 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)radTime lag= Φ/ω=33.5π/180x120π=1.55x10-3 sec.=1.55ms
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?
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/√2The 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 IrmsIrms=Imax/√2 =1.5A/√2 =1.06A.
