MCQ 1511 Mark
A series R-C circuit is connected to an alternating voltage source. Consider two situation:
(a) When capacitor is filled
(b) When capacitor is mica filled
Current through resister is i and voltage across capacitor is V then:
  • A
    Va​ = Vb
  • B
    Va​ < Vb
  • C
    Va​ > Vb​
  • D
    ia​ = ib​
Answer
  1. Va​ > Vb​

Explanation:

For series C - R circuit, the impedance $\text{Z}=\sqrt{\text{R}^2+\text{X}^2_\text{C}}$ where $\text{X}_\text{C}=\frac{\text{i}}{\omega\text{C}}$ and current $\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{Z}}$

When the capacitor is filled by mica, the capacitance will be increased. If C increases, XC​ decreases, so the current will increase and 

hence voltage across resistance increases and voltage across capacitor decreases. thus, Va​ > Vb​

MCQ 1551 Mark
In an LCR circuit, capacitance is changed from C to 2C. For the resonant frequency to remain unchanged, the inductance should be changed from L to:
  • A
    4L
  • B
    2L
  • C
    $\frac{\text{L}}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\text{L}}{4}$
Answer
  1. $\frac{\text{L}}{2}$

Explanation:

Resonant frequency, $\text{f}_\text{r}=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{\text{LC}}}$

As the frequency is unchanged so fr ​= fr′​

LC = L′C ′= L′(2C)

$\text{L}=\frac{\text{L}}{2}$

MCQ 1571 Mark
When an AC voltage of 220V is applied to the capacitor C:
  • A
    The maximum voltage between plates is 220V.
  • B
    The current is in phase with the applied voltage.
  • C
    The charge on the plates is in phase with the applied voltage.
  • D
    Power delivered to the capacitor is zero.
Answer
  1. The charge on the plates is in phase with the applied voltage.
  2. Power delivered to the capacitor is zero.

Solution:

If the alternating voltage is applied to the capacitor, the plate connected to the positive terminal of the source will be at higher potential and the plate connected to the negative terminal of source will be at lower potential. So the plates capacitor is charged.

If $\text{V}=\text{V}_0\sin\omega\text{t},\text{Q}=\text{C V}_0\sin\omega\text{t}$ or we can say that Q and emf are in pahse.

As $\text{P}=\text{V}_\text{rms}\text{I}_\text{rms}\cos\phi$ and in case of a capacitor, $\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}\text{P} = 0,$ or we can say that power delivered to the capacitor is zero.

⇒ Pav = power delivered = 0.

MCQ 1601 Mark
An alternating current is given by $\text{i}=\text{i}_1\cos\omega\text{t}+\text{i}_2\sin\omega\text{t}.$ The rms current is given by:
  • A
    $\frac{\text{i}_1+\text{i}_2}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • B
    $\frac{|\text{i}_1+\text{i}_2|}{\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\sqrt{\frac{\text{i}_1^2+\text{i}_2^2}{2}}$
  • D
    $\sqrt{\frac{\text{i}_1^2+\text{i}_2^2}{\sqrt{2}}}$
Answer
  1. $\sqrt{\frac{\text{i}_1^2+\text{i}_2^2}{2}}$

Explanation:

$\text{i}=\text{i}_1\cos\omega\text{t}+\text{i}_2\sin\omega\text{t}$

$\text{I}_\text{rms}=\frac{\int\limits_0^\text{T}\text{I}^2\text{dt}}{\int\limits_0^\text{T}\text{dt}}$

if $\text{I}=\cos\omega\text{t}$

$\text{I}_\text{rms}^2=\frac{\text{I}_0^2}{2}$

$\text{i}=\text{i}_1\cos\omega\text{t}+\text{i}_2\sin\omega\text{t}$

Than $\text{i}_\text{rms}^2=\frac{\text{i}_1^2}{2}+\frac{\text{i}_2^2}{2}$

$\text{i}_\text{rms}=\sqrt{\frac{\text{i}_1^2+\text{i}_2^2}{2}}$

MCQ 1611 Mark
In a circuit, the current lags behind the voltage by a phase difference of $\frac{\pi}{2}$ the circuit will contain which of the following: 
  • A
    Only R
  • B
    Only C
  • C
    R and C
  • D

Answer
  1. Only L

Explanation:

In an inductor, current lags behind the input voltage by a phase difference of $\frac{\pi}{2}$.

Current and voltage are in same phase in resistor whereas current leads the voltage by $\frac{\pi}{2}$in a capacitor.

So, the circuit must contain an inductor only.

  • A
    $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{A}.$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}\text{A}.$
  • C
    $2\text{A}.$
  • D
    $2\sqrt{2}\text{A}.$
Answer
  1. $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{A}.$

Solution:

Key concept: It decreases voltage and increases current

VS < VP

NS > NP

ES < EP

iS > iP

RS < RP

tS > tP

k < l

According to the problem output/secondary voltage VS = 24V

Power associated with secondary PS = 12W

$\text{I}_\text{S}=\frac{\text{P}_\text{S}}{\text{V}_\text{S}}=\frac{12}{24}=0.5\text{A}$

Amplitude of the current in the secondary winding

$\text{I}_0=\text{I}_\text{S}\sqrt{2}$

$=(0.5)(1.414)=0.707=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{A}$

MCQ 1691 Mark
The reactance of a circuit is zero. It is possible that the circuit contains.
  • A
    an inductor and a capacitor
  • B
    an inductor but no capacitor
  • C
    a capacitor but no inductor
  • D
    neither an inductor nor a capacitor
Answer
  1. neither an inductor nor a capacitor

Explanation:

Answer: A an inductor and a capacitor, B neither an inductor nor a capacitor
Reactance in electrical and electronic systems is the opposition of a circuit element to a change of electric current or voltage.Ideally a resistor has zero reactance.
Therefore in a circuit, reactance can be zero either if there are no inductors and capacitors in the circuit, or the individual reactance of inductors and capacitors cancel each other, making net reactance zero.

MCQ 1701 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.
