MCQ 1511 Mark
In an A.C. circuit, the current flowing in inductance is $\text{I}=5\sin\Big(\frac{100-\text{t}-\pi}{2}\Big)$ ampers and the potential difference is $\text{V}=200\sin(100\text{t})$ volts. The power consumption is equal to.
  • A
    1000 watt
  • B
    40 watt
  • C
    20 watt
  • D
    Zero
Answer
  1. Zero

Explanation:

Power, $\text{P}=\text{I}_\text{rms}\times\text{V}_\text{rms}\times\cos\phi$

In the given problem, the phase difference between voltage and current is $\frac{\text{P}}{2}$ Hence

$\text{P}=\text{I}_\text{rms}\times\text{V}_\text{rms}\times\cos\big(\frac{\pi}{2}\big)=0$

The power loss in an AC circuit is Erms​ Irms​, when in the circuit there is only.
  • A
    C
  • B
    L
  • C
    R
  • D

MCQ 1561 Mark
The capacitor offers zero resistance to.
  • A
    D.C. only
  • B
    A.C. & D.C.
  • C
    A.C. only
  • D
    neither A.C. nor D.C.
Answer
  1. A.C. only

Explanation:

Capacitive reactance is given as $\text{X}_\text{C}=\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}$

From this relation we can see that the value of capacitive reactance and therefore its overall impedance (in Ohms) decreases to zero as the frequency increases acting like a short

circuit. Likewise, as the frequency approaches zero or DC, the capacitors reactance increases to infinity, acting like an open circuit which is why capacitors block DC.

MCQ 1571 Mark
A 6kHz sinusoidal voltage is applied to a series RC circuit. The frequency of the voltage across the resistor is.
  • A
    0Hz
  • B
    12kHz
  • C
    6kHz
  • D
    18kHz
Answer
  1. 6kHz

Explanation:

Frequency of applied voltage and voltage or current accross any component are same. As we know,

$\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{Z}}$ and Z has nothing to do with frequency 

$\Rightarrow $$ \text{IandV}$$$ have same frequency. 

And also according to KVL V = V1 ​+ V2​ + V3​

⟹ voltage and current across any component have same frequency i.e 6kHz.

MCQ 1581 Mark
In the given circuit R in pure resistance and X is unknown circuit element. An AC voltage source is applied across A and C. If VAB​ = VAC​, then X is.
Image
  • A
    Pure resistance
  • B
    Pure inductance
  • C
    Combination of inductance and capacitance at resonance
  • D
    None of the above
Answer
  1. Combination of inductance and capacitance at resonance

Explanation:

Since the voltage across the resistive element is same as the voltage applied, the voltage drop across BC is zero. This is possible only when the ohmic value of the element connected across BC is zero. So, X should be combination of inductance and capacitance at resonance.

MCQ 1621 Mark
As the frequency of an ac circuit increases, the current first increases and then decreases. What combination of circuit elements is most likely to comprise the circuit?
  • A
    Inductor and capacitor.
  • B
    Resistor and inductor.
  • C
    Resistor and capacitor.
  • D
    Resistor, inductor and capacitor.
Answer
  1. Inductor and capacitor.
  1. Resistor, inductor and capacitor.

Solution:

Compare the given circuit by predicting the variation in their reactances with frequency. So, that then we can decide the elements.

Reactance of an inductor of inductance L is $\text{X}_\text{L}=2\pi\text{vL}$, where v is the frequency of the AC circuit.

Xc = Reactance of the capacitive circuit

$=\frac{1}{2\pi\text{fC}}$

With an increase in frequency in (f) of an AC circuit, R remains constant, inductive reactance (XL) increases and capacitive reactance (XC) decreases. For an L-C-R circuit,

Z- Impedance of the circuit,

$=\sqrt{\text{R}^2+(\text{X}_\text{L}-\text{X}_\text{C})^2}$

$=\sqrt{\text{R}^2+\bigg(2\pi\text{vL}-\frac{1}{2\pi\text{vC}}\bigg)^2}$

As frequency (v) increases, Z decreases and at certain value of the frequency known as resonant frequency (v0), impedance Z is minimum that is Zmin = R current varies inversely with impedance and at Zmin current is maximum.

In the circuit shown in the figure, (neglecting source resistance) the voltmeter and ammeter readings will respectively be.
Image
  • A
    0 V, 8 A
  • B
    150 V, 8 A
  • C
    150 V, 3 A
  • D

Voltmeter reading is zero since voltage in both Capacitor and inductor is same in magnitude but opposite in sign because current in series is same and both have same reactance.

So, $\text{i}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}$

$=\frac{240}{30}$

$=8\text{A}$

The reading of voltmeter and ammeter in the following figure will respectively be:
Image
  • A
    0 and 2A
  • B
    2A and 0V
  • C
    2V and 2A
  • D
    0V and 0A
Answer
  1. 0 and 2A

Explanation:

In the problem $\text{XC}=4\Omega$ and $\text{XL}=4\Omega$

So, V across XC​ and XL​ will be same and in opposite direction, So net voltage will be zero. Since voltmeter is connected parallel to Capacitor and inductor so, it will read 0 volts.

Current $=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{impedance}}$

Z = R as XL ​= XC​

Current $=\frac{90}{45}=2\text{A}$
