Question 13 Marks

An inductor-coil, a capacitor and an AC source of rms voltage 24V are connected in series. When the frequency of the source is varied, a maximum rms current of 6.0A is observed. If this inductor coil is connected to a battery of emf 12V and internal resistance $4.0\Omega,$ what will be the current?

Answer

$\text{E}_\text{rms}=24\text{V}$
$\text{r}=4\Omega,\text{I}_\text{rms}=6\text{A}$
$\text{R}=\frac{\text{E}}{\text{I}}=\frac{24}{6}=4\Omega$
Internal Resistance $=4\Omega$
Hence net resistance $=4+4=8\Omega$
$\therefore$ Current $=\frac{12}{8}=1.5\text{A}$

Question 23 Marks

Find the time required for a 50Hz alternating current to change its value from zero to the rms value.

Answer

$\text{f}=50\text{Hz}$
$=\text{I}=\text{I}_0\sin\omega\text{t}$
Peak value $\text{I}=\frac{\text{I}_0}{\sqrt{2}}$
$\frac{\text{I}_0}{\sqrt{2}}=\text{I}_0\sin\omega\text{t}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\sin\omega\text{t}=\sin\frac{\pi}{4}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\pi}{4}=\omega\text{t}$
Or $\text{t}=\frac{\pi}{400}$
$=\frac{\pi}{4\times2\pi\text{f}}=\frac{1}{8\text{f}}$
$=\frac{1}{8\times50}=0.0025\text{s}=2.5\text{ms}$

Question 33 Marks

A bulb rated 60W at 220V is connected across a household supply of alternating voltage of 220V. Calculate the maximum instantaneous current through the filament.

Answer

$\text{P}=60\text{W},\text{V}=220\text{V}=\text{E}$
$\text{R}=\frac{\text{V}^2}{\text{P}}=\frac{220\times220}{60}$
$=806.67$
$\in_0=\sqrt{2}\text{E}=1.414\times220$
$=311.08$
$\text{I}_0=\frac{\in_0}{\text{R}}=\frac{806.67}{311.08}$
$=0.385\approx0.39\text{A}$

Question 43 Marks

Consider the situation of the previous problem. Find the average electric field energy stored in the capacitor and the average magnetic field energy stored in the coil.

Answer

$\text{R}=300\Omega$
$\text{C}=20\mu\text{F}=20\times10^{-6}\text{F}$
$\text{L}=1\text{H},\text{Z}=500$ $(\text{from}\ 14)$
$\in_0=50\text{V},\text{I}_0=\frac{\text{E}_0}{\text{Z}}=\frac{50}{500}=0.1\text{A}$
Electric Energy stored in Capacitor $=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)\text{CV}^2$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)\times20\times10^{-6}\times50\times50$
$=25\times10^{-3}\text{J}=25\text{mJ}$
Magnetic field energy stored in the coil $=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)\text{LI}_0{^2}$
$=\Big(\frac{1}{2}\Big)\times1\times(0.1)^{2}$
$=5\times10^{-3}\text{J}=5\text{mJ}$

Question 53 Marks

The voltage and current in a series AC circuit are given by, $\text{V}=\text{V}_0\cos\omega\text{t}$ and $\text{i}=\text{i}_0\sin\omega\text{t}.$ What is the power dissipated in the circuit?

Answer

Power $=\text{I}_\text{rms}\text{E}_\text{rms}\cos\phi$
$\phi=\frac{\pi}{2}$ so $\text{P}=0.$

Question 63 Marks

A transformer has 50 turns in the primary and 100 in the secondary. If the primary is connected to a 220V DC supply, what will be the voltage across the secondary?

Answer

Transformer works upon the principle of induction which is only possible in case of AC.
Hence when DC is supplied to it, the primary coil blocks the Current supplied to it and hence induced current supplied to it and hence induced Current in the secondary coil is zero.

Question 73 Marks

An electric bulb is designed to operate at 12 volts DC. If this bulb is connected to an AC source and gives normal brightness, what would be the peak voltage of the source?

Answer

$\text{E}=12\text{volt}$
$\text{i}^2\text{Rt}=\text{i}^2_\text{rms}\text{RT}$
$\Rightarrow\ \frac{\text{E}^2}{\text{R}^2}=\frac{\text{E}^2_\text{rms}}{\text{R}^2}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{E}^2=\frac{\text{E}_0^2}{2}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{E}_0{^2}=2\text{E}^2$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{E}_0{^2}=2\times12^2=2\times144$
$\Rightarrow \text{E}_0=\sqrt{2\times144}=16.97\approx17\text{V}$

Figure shows a typical circuit for a low-pass filter. An AC input V_i= 10mV is applied at the left end and the output V₀ is received at the right end. Find the output voltage for ν = 10kHz, 1.0MHz and 10.0MHz. Note that as the frequency is increased the output decreases and, hence, the name low-pass filter.
