Question 41 Mark
The line that draws power supply to your house from street has:
Answer
  1. Zero average current.
  1. Voltage and current possibly differing in phase $\phi$ such that $\Big|\phi\Big|<\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Solution:
Alternation currents are used for household supplies, which are having zero average value over a cycle.
The line is having some resistance, so power factor $\cos\phi=\frac{\text{R}}{\text{Z}}\neq0$
So, $\phi\neq\frac{\pi}{2}\Rightarrow\ \phi<\frac{2}{\pi}$
i.e., phase lies between 0 and $\frac{\pi}{2}$.
Important point: The average value of alternating quantity for one complete cycle is zero.
The average value of ac over half cycle $\Big(\text{t}=0\text{ to }\frac{\text{T}}{2}\Big)$
$\text{i}_\text{av}=\frac{\int_0^{\frac{\text{T}}{2}}\text{idt}}{\int_0^{\frac{\text{T}}{2}}\text{dt}}=0.637\text{i}_0=63.7\% \ \text{of i}_0$
Similarly $\text{V}_\text{av}=\frac{2\text{V}_0}{\pi}=0.637\text{V}_0=63.7\%\ \text{of V}_0.$

Question 71 Mark
To reduce the reasonant frequency in an LCR series circuit with a generator:
Answer
  1. Another capacitor should be added in parallel to the first.
Solution:
Key Concept: Resonant frequency (Natural frequency)
At resonance $\text{X}_\text{L}=\text{X}_\text{C}\Rightarrow\ \omega_0\text{L}=\frac{1}{\omega_0\text{C}}$
$\Rightarrow\ \omega_0=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{LC}}}\frac{\text{red}}{\sec}$
$\Rightarrow\ \text{v}_0=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{\text{LC}}}\text{Hz}$
Resonant frequency in an L-C-R circuit is given by
$\text{v}_0=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{\text{LC}}}$
If L or C increases, the resonant frequency will reduce.
To increase capacitance, we must connect another capacitor parallel to the first.

Question 531 Mark
An inductance and resistance are connected in series with an A.C circuit. In this circuit.
Answer
  1. the current and P.d across the resistance lags behind the P.d. across the inductance by angle $\frac{\pi}{2}$
Explanation:
This is very fundamental. If we apply separate voltages across resistance and inductor, then in resistance, current and voltage both are in same phase whereas in inductor, current across it lags p.d across it by $\frac{\pi}{2}.$
Now, when we apply voltage across inductor and resistance connencted in series then current through both of them will be same because of KCL. therefore voltage across resistor will be in same phase with current whereas voltage across inductor will lead the current across it by $\frac{\pi}{2}.$ therefore current and voltage across resistor lags voltage across inductor by $\frac{\pi}{2}$

  1. R = 15Ω, L = 3.5 H, C = 30μF.
Solution:
Quality factor (Q) of an L-C-R circuit is given by, $\text{Q}=\frac{1}{\text{R}}\sqrt{\frac{\text{L}}{\text{C}}}$
Tuning of an L-C-R circuit depends on quality factor of the circuit. Tuning will be better when quality factor of the circuit is high.
As, quality factor (Q) of an L-C-R circuit is given by, $\text{Q}=\frac{1}{\text{R}}\sqrt{\frac{\text{L}}{\text{C}}}$
For Q to be high, R should be low, L should be high and C should be low, Therefore option (c) is most apporopriate.

In a series L - C - R circuit, current in the circuit is 11A when the applied voltage is 220V. Voltage across the capacitor is 200V. If value of resistor $20\Omega$ then the voltage across the unknown inductor is.
Answer
  1. 200V
Explanation:
The given LCR circuit is in resonance. Inductive reactance magnitude XL​ increases as frequency increases while capacitive reactance magnitude XC​ decreases with the increase in frequency.
At one particular frequency, these two reactances are equal in magnitude but opposite in sign; that frequency is called the resonant frequency fO​ for the given circuit. Hence, at resonance:
XL ​= XC​

Answer

Explanation:
Resonant frequency, $\text{w}_\text{o}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{LC}}}=\frac{1}{\sqrt{(10\times10^{-3})(10^{-6})}}=\frac{10^4\text{rad}}{\text{s}}$
New frequency $\omega=(0.9)\omega_\text{o}=9\times\frac{10^3\text{rad}}{\text{s}}$

Question 821 Mark
In an alternating current circuit consisting of elements in series, the current increases on increasing the frequency of supply. Which of the following elements are likely to constitute the circuit?
Answer
Resistor and a capacitor
Only a capacitor.
  1. This is the similar problem as we discussed above. In this problem, the current increases on increasing the frequency of supply.
  2. Hence, the reactance of the circuit must be decreased as increase in frequency.
  3. So, one element that must be connected is capacitor.
  4. We can also connect a resistor in series.
    For a capacitive circuit,
    $\text{X}_\text{C}=\frac{1}{\omega\text{C}}=\frac{1}{2\pi\text{fC}}$
    When frequency increases $, X_C$ decreases.
  5. Hence current in the circuit increases.

A mixer of $100\Omega$ resistance is connected to an A.C. source of 200V and 50 cycles/ sec. The value of average potential difference across the mixer will be:
Answer
  1. zero
Explanation:
We need to find the average potential difference across the mixer. Here by average we mean average over a long period of time. As we know in one complete cycle, average voltage across the mixer is zero. (In one complete cycle current changes the direction and net voltage across a resistor is zero). 
So when in one complete cycle voltage drop across the resistor is zero, then the average voltage drop across the resistor (mixer) is zero.

  2. The driving force can give no energy to the oscillator (P = 0) in some cases.
  3. The driving force cannot syphon out (P < 0) the energy out of oscillator.
Solution:
Key Concept: Power Factor.

  2. It is also defined as the radio of resistance and impedange $\Big(\text{i.e.,} \frac{\text{R}}{\text{Z}}\Big)$.
  3. $\text{The radio}=\frac{\text{True power}}{\text{Apparent power}}=\frac{\text{W}}{\text{VA}}=\frac{\text{kW}}{\text{kVA}}=\cos\phi$
In the given problem power transferred,
$\text{P}=\text{I}^2\text{Z}\cos\phi$
where I is the current, Z = Impedance and $\cos\phi$ is power factor
  1. As power factor, $\cos\phi=\frac{\text{R}}{\text{Z}}$

Question 961 Mark
Electrical energy is transmitted over large distances at high alternating voltages. Which of the following statements is $($are$)$ correct?
Answer
  1. For a given power level, there is a lower current.
  2. Lower current implies less power loss.
  1. It is easy to reduce the voltage at the receiving end using step-down transformers.
Solution:
Key Concept: Power loss due to transmisssion lines having resistance $(R)$ and $I_{rms}$ current flowing in the circuit is $I^2_{rms} R.$
The power is to be transmitted over the large distances ar high alternating voltages, so current flowing through the wires will be low because of given power $(P).$
For a given power level, we find that
$P = E_{rms}I_{rms} (I_{rms}$ is low when $E_{rms} is high)$
Powor loss $= I^2_{rms} R = low ( \because I_{rms} is low)$
Now at the receiving end high voltage is reduced by using step-down transformers.

A coil of self-inductance L is connected in series with a bulb B and an AC source. Brightness of the bulb decreases when.
Answer
  1. An iron rod is inserted in the coil
Explanation:
As the iron rod is inserted, the magnetic field inside the coil magnetizes the iron increasing the magnetic field inside it. Hence. the inductance of the coil increases. Consequently, the inductive reactance of the coil increases. As a result, a larger fraction of the applied AC voltage appears across the lnductor, leaving less voltage across the bulb.Therefore' the brightness of the light bulb decreases.

Question 1111 Mark
As the frequency of an ac circuit increases, the current first increases and then decreases. What combination of circuit elements is most likely to comprise the circuit?
Answer
  1. Inductor and capacitor.
  1. Resistor, inductor and capacitor.
Compare the given circuit by predicting the variation in their reactances with frequency.
So, that then we can decide the elements.
Reactance of an inductor of inductance $L$ is $\text{X}_\text{L}=2\pi\text{vL}$, where v is the frequency of the $AC$ circuit.

$X_c =$ Reactance of the capacitive circuit
$=\frac{1}{2\pi\text{fC}}$
With an increase in frequency in $(f)$ of an $AC$ circuit, $R$ remains constant, inductive reactance $(X_L)$ increases and capacitive reactance $(X_C)$ decreases.
For an $\text{L-C-R}$ circuit,
$Z-$ Impedance of the circuit,
$=\sqrt{\text{R}^2+(\text{X}_\text{L}-\text{X}_\text{C})^2}$
$=\sqrt{\text{R}^2+\bigg(2\pi\text{vL}-\frac{1}{2\pi\text{vC}}\bigg)^2}$
As frequency $(v)$ increases, $Z$ decreases and at certain value of the frequency known as resonant frequency $(v_0),$ impedance $Z$ is minimum that is $Z_{min} = R$ current varies inversely with impedance and at $Z_{min}$ current is maximum.

Question 1171 Mark
In a series $\text{RLC}$ circuit that is operating above the resonant frequency, the current.
Answer
Capacitive reactance is given by. $\text{X}_\text{C}=\frac{1}{\text{wC}}$
Inductive reactance is given by $\text{X}_\text{L}={\text{wL}}$
At resonance, $\text{X}_\text{L}={\text{X}_\text{C}}\Rightarrow \text{w}\text{L}=\frac{1}{\text{wC}}$
But a frequency higher than resonance frequency, $X_L​ > X_C​$
So the circuit behaves as a inductive circuit at a frequency higher that resonant frequency and the current lags behind the voltage in an inductive circuit.

Question 1211 Mark
The power loss is less in transmission lines, when:
Answer
The power cables have some resistance.
Power lost in the wires can be calculated as $P = I^2R$ with $R$ as the resistance of the wires and $I$ as the current that passes through them.
Power at the load is $P = VI.$
From this one can see that if voltage is increased by say $n$ times,
then only $\frac{1}{\text{n}}$​ the current is required to deliver the same power.
However, if $\frac{1}{\text{n}}$​ current is passed
on the same wires, only $\frac{1}{\text{n}^2}$ of the power will be lost.

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.

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.

Question 1671 Mark
A $6\ kHz$ sinusoidal voltage is applied to a series $RC$ circuit. The frequency of the voltage across the resistor is.
Answer
Frequency of applied voltage and voltage or current accross any component are same.
As we know,
$\text{I}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{Z}}$ and $Z$ has nothing to do with frequency
$\Rightarrow\ I$ and $V$ have same frequency.
And also according to $\text{KVL V} = V_1 ​+ V_2​ + V_{3​}$
$\Rightarrow$ voltage and current across any component have same frequency i.e $6\ kHz$.

Question 1681 Mark
In the circuit shown in the figure, (neglecting source resistance) the voltmeter and ammeter readings will respectively be.
Image
Answer
  1. 0 V, 8 A
Explanation:
Voltmeter reading is zero since voltage in both Capacitor and inductor is same in magnitude but opposite in sign because current in series is same and both have same reactance.
So, $\text{i}=\frac{\text{V}}{\text{R}}$
$=\frac{240}{30}$
$=8\text{A}$

Question 1691 Mark
In the given circuit what is the potential drop across resistance?
Image
Answer
  1. 120 V
Explanation:
At resonance the voltage across L and C are same but opposite.
So, at resonance $\mid\text{V}_\text{L}\mid=\mid\text{V}_\text{C}\mid$
$\therefore\text{V}_\text{R}=\text{V}_\text{app}=120\text{V}$

Answer
  1. decrease
Explanation:
In complex plane $\text{V}=\frac{\text{V}_\text{AC}}{1+\text{jRC}\omega}$
Therefore as $\omega$(frequency) increases, V decreases.

Question 1721 Mark
An alternating current generator has an internal resistance $R_g$ and an internal reactance $X_g.$ It is used to supply power to a passive load consisting of a resistance $R_g$ and a reactance $X_L.$ For maximum power to be delivered from the generator to the load, the value of $X_L$ is equal to:
Answer
For maximum power to be delivered from the generator $($or internal reactance $X_g)$ to the load $($of reactance$, X_L),$
$\Rightarrow X_L + X_g = 0\ ($the total reactance must vanish$)$
$\Rightarrow X_L= -X_g.$

Question 1731 Mark
If the output is taken across a capacitor in a series RLC circuit then it acts as.
Image
Answer
  1. low-pass filter
Explanation:
Given circuit is one simple low-pass filter circuit consists of a resistor in series with a load, and a capacitor in parallel with the load. The capacitor exhibits reactance, and blocks low-frequency signals, forcing them through the load instead. At higher frequencies the reactance drops, and the capacitor effectively functions as a short circuit.
