Answer
Correct option: A.
$0.93 \mathrm{~A}$
a
$\text { Capacitive Reactance } X_C=\frac{1}{\omega C}=\frac{1}{2 \pi f C}=\frac{1}{2 \times 3.14 \times 50 \times 10 \times 10^{-6}}$

A light bulb and an inductor coil are connected to an ac source through a key as shown in the figure below. The key is closed and after sometime an iron rod is inserted into the interior of the inductor. The glow of the light bulb
  • A
    increases
  • decreases
  • C
    remains unchanged
  • D
    will fluctuate
Answer
Correct option: B.
decreases
b
As an iron rod is inserted, inductance of inductor will increase.

Hence impedance $z=\sqrt{R^{2}+(\omega L)^{2}},$ will increase,

so from $i=\frac{v}{z}$ current will decrease and from $P =\frac{ V _{0}^{2} R }{2 z ^{2}}$ power of bulb will decrease.

An inductor $20\,\, mH,$ a capacitor $100\, \mu F$ and a resistor $50 \,\,\Omega$ are connected in series across a source of emf, $V=10 sin 314 \,t .$ The power loss in the circuit is ......$W$
  • $0.79$
  • B
    $0.43$
  • C
    $1.13$
  • D
    $2.74$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$0.79$
a
Impedance $Z$ in an $ac$ circuit is

$Z=\sqrt{R^{2}+\left(X_{C}-X_{L}\right)^{2}} ;$ where $X_{C}=$ capacitive reactance and $X_{L}=$ inductive reactance.

Also $X_{C}=\frac{1}{\omega C}$ and $X_{L}=\omega L$

$\therefore \quad z=\sqrt{(50)^{2}+\left(\frac{1}{314 \times 100 \times 10^{-6}}-314 \times 20 \times 10^{-3}\right)^{2}}$

or $\quad Z=56\, \Omega$

The power loss in the circuit is $P_{a v}=\left(\frac{V_{r m s}}{Z}\right)^{2} R$

$\therefore \quad P_{a v}=\left(\frac{10}{(\sqrt{2}) 56}\right)^{2} \times 50=0.79\, \mathrm{W}$

Quality factor of an $L-C-R$ circuit is given by,

${Q=\frac{1}{R} \sqrt{\frac{L}{C}}} $

${Q_{1}=\frac{1}{15} \sqrt{\frac{3.5}{30 \times 10^{-6}}}=\frac{100}{15} \sqrt{\frac{35}{3}}=22.77} $

${Q_{2}=\frac{1}{25} \times \sqrt{\frac{1.5}{45 \times 10^{-6}}}=40 \times \sqrt{\frac{5}{90}}=9.43} $

${Q_{3}=\frac{1}{20} \sqrt{\frac{1.5}{35 \times 10^{-6}}}=50 \times \sqrt{\frac{3}{70}}=10.35} $

${Q_{4}=\frac{1}{25} \times \sqrt{\frac{2.5}{45 \times 10^{-6}}}=\frac{40}{\sqrt{30}}=7.30}$

Clearly $Q_{1}$ is maximum of $Q_{1}, Q_{2}, Q_{3},$ and $Q_{4}$.

Hence, option $(a)$ should be selected for better tuning of an $L-C-R$ circuit.

Analytically

$\mathrm{i}=2 \sin 100 \pi \mathrm{t}+2 \cos \left(100 \pi \mathrm{t}+30^{\circ}\right)$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{i}=2 \sin 100 \pi \mathrm{t}+2 \cos 100 \pi \mathrm{tcos} 30^{\circ}$

$-2 \sin 100 \pi \operatorname{tsin} 30^{\circ}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{i}=\sin 100 \pi \mathrm{t}+\sqrt{3} \cos 100 \pi \mathrm{t}$

$\Rightarrow \mathrm{i}=\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{m}} \sin (100 \pi \mathrm{t}+\phi)$
