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 $C$
  • Only $L$
Answer
Correct option: D.
Only $L$
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.

MCQ 1551 Mark
With increase in frequency of an $A.C$. supply, the inductive reactance.
  • A
    decreases
  • increases directly with frequency
  • C
    increases as square of frequency
  • D
    decreases inversely with frequency
Answer
Correct option: B.
increases directly with frequency

The inductive reactance $\text{Xl}=\omega\text{L}$
Hence, $\text{X}_1\propto\omega$
As frequency increases $\rightarrow\omega$
Therefore, inductive reactance increases with frequency.

MCQ 1571 Mark
The output of a step-down transformer is measured to be $24V$ when connected to a $12$ watt light bulb. The value of the peak current is:
  • $\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{A}.$
  • B
    $\sqrt{2}\text{A}.$
  • C
    $2\text{A}.$
  • D
    $2\sqrt{2}\text{A}.$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}\text{A}.$

Key concept: It decreases voltage and increases current
$V _{ S } < V _{ p }$
$N _{ S } > N _{ p }$
$E _{ S } < E _{ p }$
$i _{ S } > i _{ P }$
$R _{ S } < R _{ p }$
$t _{ S } > t _{ p }$
$k < l$

According to the problem output/secondary voltage $V _{ S }=24 V$
Power associated with secondary $P_S=12 W$
$\text{I}_\text{S}=\frac{\text{P}_\text{S}}{\text{V}_\text{S}}=\frac{12}{24}=0.5\text{A}$
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 1601 Mark
In $\text{LCR}$ series $AC$ circuit.
  • If $R$ is increased current will decrease.
  • B
    If $L$ is increased current will decrease.
  • C
    If $C$ is increased current will increase.
  • D
    If $C$ is increased current will decrease.
Answer
Correct option: A.
If $R$ is increased current will decrease.

$\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{Z}}=\frac{\text{V}}{\sqrt{\text{R}^2\Big(\omega\text{L }\sim}\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}\Big)^2}$
By increasing $R$, current will definitely decrease by change in $L$ or $C$, current may increase or decrease.

MCQ 1621 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
  • neither an inductor nor a capacitor
Answer
Correct option: D.
neither an inductor nor a capacitor

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 1631 Mark
The capacitor offers zero resistance to.
  • A
    $D.C$. only
  • B
    $A.C.\ \&\ D.C.$
  • $A.C.$ only
  • D
    neither $A.C.$ nor $D.C.$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$A.C.$ only

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 1641 Mark
An alternating voltage $\text{E}=50\sqrt{2}\sin(100\text{t}) V$ is connected to a $1\mu\text{F}$ capacitor through an ac ammeter. What will be the reading of the ammeter?
  • A
    $10\text{mA}$
  • $5\text{mA}$
  • C
    $5\sqrt{2}\text{mA}$
  • D
    $10\sqrt{2}\text{mA}$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$5\text{mA}$

$\text{X}_\text{C}=\frac{1}{\text{C}\omega}=10000\Omega$
ammeater reading $=\text{I}_\text{rms}=\frac{\text{V}_\text{rms}}{\mid\text{jX}_\text{c}\mid}=\frac{50}{10000}=5\text{mA}$

A coil has an inductance of $0.7 H$ and is joined in series with a resistance of $220\Omega$ When an alternating emf of $220V$ at $50$ cps is applied to it, then the wattless component of the current in the circuit is $(\text{take }0.7\pi=2.2)$
  • A
    $5 A$
  • $0.5 A$
  • C
    $0.7 A$
  • D
    $7 A$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$0.5 A$

Wattless current $=\text{I}_\text{max}\sin(\tan^{-1}[\frac{\text{L}\omega}{\text{R}}])=\frac{220}{\sqrt{\text{R}^2+\text{L}^2\omega^2}}\sin(\tan^{-1}[\frac{\text{L}\omega}{\text{R}})=0.5\text{A}$

MCQ 1671 Mark
In an $\text{LCR}$ series a.c. circuit, the voltage across each of the components. $\text{L, C}$ and $R$ is $50V$. The voltage across the $\text{LC}$ combination will be:
  • A
    $50V$
  • B
    $50\sqrt{2}\text{v}$
  • C
    $100V$
  • $0V ($zero$)$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$0V ($zero$)$

In a series $\text{LCR}$ circuit, the voltage across the inductor $(L)$ and the capacitor $(C)$ are in opposite phase.
So the voltage across $\text{LC}$ combination will be $(50 - 50) = 0V$

MCQ 1681 Mark
In a $\text{RLC}$ circuit capacitance is changed from $C$ to $2C$. For the resonant frequency to remain unchanged, the inductance should be changed from $L$ to.
  • A
    $4\text{L}$
  • B
    $2\text{L}$
  • $\frac{\text{L}}{2}$
  • D
    $\frac{\text{L}}{4}$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$\frac{\text{L}}{2}$

$\text{f}=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{(\text{LC})}}$
when $C$ is doubled, $L$ should be halved so that resonant frequency remains unchanged.
