When the frequency of ac supply is such that the inductive reactance and capacitive reactance become equal, the impedance of the series LCR circuit is equal to the ohmic resistance in the circuit. Such a series LCR circuit is known as resonant series LCR circuit and the frequency of the ac supply is known as resonant frequency.

Answer

  1. (c) 663.48Hz

Explanation:

Here, L = 0.12H, e = 480nF = 480 × 10-9F

$\text{R} = 23\Omega,$ V = 230V

$\text{V}_0=\sqrt{2}\times230=325.22\text{V}$

$\text{I}_0=\frac{\text{V}_0}{\sqrt{\text{R}^2+\Big(\omega\text{L}-\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}\Big)^2}}$

At resonance, $\omega\text{L}-\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}=0$

$\omega=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{LC}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{0.12\times480\times10^9}}=4166.67\ \text{rad}\ \text{s}^{-1}$

$\upsilon_\text{R}=\frac{4166.67}{2\times3.14}=663.48\text{H}_\text{z}$

  1. (a) 14.14A

Explanation:

Current, $\text{I}_0=\frac{\text{V}_0}{\text{R}}=\frac{325.22}{23}=14.14\text{A}$

  1. (b) 2299.3W

Explanation:

Maximum power, $\text{P}_\text{max}=\frac{1}{2}(\text{I}_0)^2\text{R}$

$=\frac{1}{2}\times(14.14)^2\times23=2299.3\text{W}$

  1. (d) 21.74

Explanation:

Quality factor, $\text{Q}=\frac{\text{X}_\text{R}}{\text{R}}=\frac{\omega_\text{r}\text{L}}{\text{R}}$

$=\frac{4166.67\times0.12}{23}=21.74$

  1. (b) Current

Solar cell is a p-n junction diode which converts solar energy into electric energy. It is basically a solar energy converter. The upperlayer of solar cell is of p-type semiconductor and very thin so that the incident light photons may easily reach the p-n junction. On the top face of p-layer, the metal finger electrodes are prepared in order to have enough spacing between the fingers for the lights to reach the p-n junction through p-layer.

Distance between two successive bright or dark fringes is called fringe width.
$\beta=\text{Y}_\text{n+1}-\text{Y}_\text{n}=\frac{(\text{n}+1)\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}-\frac{\text{n}\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\text{d}}$
Fringe width is independent of the order of the maxima. If whole apparatus is immersed in liquid of refractive index $\mu$ then $\beta=\frac{\lambda\text{D}}{\mu\text{d}}$ (fringe width decreases). Angular fringe width $(\theta)$ is the angular separation between two consecutive maxima or minima
$\theta=\frac{\beta}{\text{D}}=\frac{\lambda}{\text{d}}$

Niels Bohr introduced the atomic Hydrogen model in 1913. He described it as a positively charged nucleus, comprised of protons and neutrons, surrounded by a negatively charged electron cloud. In the model, electrons orbit the nucleus in atomic shells. The atom is held together by electrostatic forces between the positive nucleus and negative surroundings.

Bohr correctly proposed that the energy and radii of the orbits of electrons in atoms are quantized, with energy for transitions between orbits given by
$\triangle\text{E}=\text{h}\upsilon=\text{E}_\text{i}-\text{E}_\text{f}$ where $\triangle\text{E}$ is the change in energy between the initial and final orbits and $\text{h}\upsilon$ is the energy of an absorbed or emitted photon.

A transformer is an electrical device which is used for changing the a.c. voltages. It is based on the phenomenon of mutual induction i.e. whenever the amount of magnetic flux linked with a coil changes, an e.m.f. is induced in the neighbouring coil. For an ideal transformer, the resistances of the primary and secondary windings are negligible.

It can be shown that $\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}}{\text{E}_\text{P}}=\frac{\text{I}_\text{P}}{\text{I}_\text{S}}=\frac{\text{n}_\text{S}}{\text{n}_\text{P}}=\text{K}$

where the symbols have their standard meanings.

For a step up transformer, $\text{n}_\text{S} > \text{n}_\text{P}; \text{E}_\text{S} > \text{E}_\text{P}; \text{k} > \text{I}; \therefore \text{I}_\text{S} < \text{I}_\text{P}$

For a step down transformer, $\text{n}_\text{S} > \text{n}_\text{P}; \text{E}_\text{S} > \text{E}_\text{P}; \text{k} > \text{I};$

The above relations are on the assumptions that efficiency of transfonner is 100%.

lnfact, efficiency $\eta=\frac{\text{output power}}{\text{intput power }}=\frac{\text{E}_\text{S}\text{I}_\text{S}}{\text{E}_\text{P}\text{I}_\text{P}}$
