Question
$a$. Draw graphs showing the variations of inductive reactance and capacitive reactance with the frequency of the applied ac source.
$b$. Draw the phasor diagram for a series $RC$ circuit connected to an ac source.
$c$. An alternating voltage of $220 V$ is applied across a device $X, $ a current of $0.25 A$ flows, which lag behind the applied voltage in phase by $\frac{\pi}{2}$ radian. If the same voltage is applied across another device $Y,$ the same current flows but now it is in phase with the applied voltage.
$i$. Name the devices $X$ and $Y$.
$ii$. Calculate the current flowing in the circuit when the same voltage is applied across the series combination of $X$ and $Y$.

Answer

$a$. Drawing the two graphs the graph shows the variation of capacitive resistance with frequency and inductive resistance with frequency.
The two graphs are as shown

$b$. Drawing the phaser diagram
$($the current leads the voltage by an angle $\theta$ where $0<\theta<\frac{\pi}{2} )$.
The required phaser diagram is as shown.​​​​​​​

[Here, $\theta=\tan ^{-1}\left[\frac{1}{\omega C R}\right]$
$i$. In device $X$:
Current lags behind the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$
$\therefore X$ is an inductor.
In device $Y$ :
Current in phase with the applied voltage.
$\therefore Y$ is resistor.
$ii$ . We are given that
$0.25=\frac{2 n 0}{X_L}$
$\text { or } X _{ L }=\frac{2 n 0}{02} \Omega=880 \Omega$
$\text { Also } 0.25=\frac{220}{X_R}$
$\therefore X_R=\frac{220}{0.25} \Omega=880 \Omega$
For the series combination of $X$ and $Y,$
Equivalent impedance $=\sqrt{X_L^2+X_R^2}=(880 \sqrt{2}) \Omega$
$\therefore$ Current flowing $ \frac{220}{880 \sqrt{2}} A=0.177 A$

A current i is passed through a silver strip of width d and area of cross-section A. The number of free electrons per unit volume is n.
  1. Find the drift velocity v of the electrons.
  2. If a magnetic field B exists in the region, as shown in the figure, what is the average magnetic force on the free electrons?
  3. Due to the magnetic force, the free electrons get accumulated on one side of the conductor along its length. This produces a transverse electric field in the conductor, which opposes the magnetic force on the electrons. Find the magnitude of the electric field which will stop further accumulation of electrons.
  4. What will be the potential difference developed across the width of the conductor due to the electron-accumulation? The appearance of a transverse emf, when a current-carrying wire is placed in a magnetic field, is called Hall effect.
