The line that draws power supply to your house from street has:
AnswerSolution:
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 $\text{V}_\text{av}=\frac{2\text{V}_0}{\pi}=0.637\text{V}_0=63.7\%\ \text{of V}_0.$

The $AC$ produced in India changes its direction in every:
AnswerCorrect option: A. $\frac{1}{100}\text{second}$
In India, the frequency of $AC$ voltage is $50 Hz.$
It means $50$ waves will be produced in $1 s.$
In one wave, the direction is changed $2$ times.
Thus, in $50$ waves, the direction will be altered $50 \times 2 = 100$ times.
i.e. the direction is changed $100$ times in $1 s.$
Thus the direction is changed in every $\frac{1}{100}\text{second}$

To reduce the reasonant frequency in an $\text{LCR}$ series circuit with a generator:
- A
The generator frequency should be reduced.
- ✓

AnswerCorrect option: B. Another capacitor should be added in parallel to the first.
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.

For the circuit shown in the Figure, the current through the inductor is $0.9$ A while the current through the condenser is $0.4 A.$

AnswerCorrect option: C. $I = 0.5 A$
The current in inductor and capacitor is always at an phase difference of $180^\circ $

Capacitor, $\text{i}=\text{i}_\text{o}\sin(\omega\text{t}-\frac{\pi}{2})$
Capacitor, $\text{i}=\text{i}_\text{o}\sin(\omega\text{t}+\frac{\pi}{2})$
So, the current from both branches will be $0.9 + (-0.4) = 0.5A$

- D
the current across resistance lags behind and the $P.d$ across the resistance leads the $P.d$ across the inductance by $\frac{\pi}{2}$
AnswerCorrect option: B. the current and $P.d$ across the resistance lags behind the $P.d$. across the inductance by angle $\frac{\pi}{2}$
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 $\text{KCL.}$ 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 $\frac{\pi}{2}$

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, $\text{Q}=\frac{1}{\text{R}}\sqrt{\frac{\text{L}}{\text{C}}}$

In phasor, $\text{V}_\text{R}=20\angle0;\text{V}_\text{L}=16\angle(-90)$
Total potential difference is $=\text{V}_\text{R}+\text{V}_\text{L}=25.6\angle(-38.66)$
Magnitude of total potential difference $= 25.6V$

The capacitor of an oscillatory circuit of negligible resistance is enclosed in a evacuated container. The frequency of the circuit is $150 \ kHZ$ and when the container is filled with a gas, the frequency changes by $100 \ HZ$. The dielectric constant of the gas.
AnswerCorrect option: C. $1.0012$
We know frequency is given by:
$\text{n}_1=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{\text{LC}_1}}$
And
$\text{n}_2=\frac{1}{2\pi\sqrt{\text{LKC}_1}}$
Thus we get the ratio of frequencies as
$\frac{\text{n}_1}{\text{n}_2}=\frac{150000}{149900}=\sqrt{\text{k}}$
Solving the above equation we get, $\text{K}\approx1.0012$

A resistor and an inductor are connected to an ac supply of $120 V$ and $50 \ Hz$ . The current in the circuit is $3 A$ . If the power consumed in the circuit is $108 W$ , then the resistance in the circuit is.
AnswerCorrect option: A. $12\Omega$
$I_{ rms }=$ currentincircuit $=3 A$
$\text{p}=108\text{W}=\text{I}_\text{ems}^2\text{R}=3^2\text{R}$
$\text{R}=\frac{108}{9}=12\Omega$

In $R - L - C$ series circuit, the potential differences across each element is $20V$. Now the value of the resistance alone is doubled, then $P.D$. across $R, L$ and $C$ respectively.
- ✓
$20V, 10V, 10V$
- B
$20V, 20V, 20V$
- C
$20V, 40V, 40V$
- D
$10V, 20V, 20V$
AnswerCorrect option: A. $20V, 10V, 10V$
Circuit is at resonance $(VL = VC)$
$\therefore$ circuit is purely resistance
Resistance is doubled, current in the circuit is half the initial value
$\therefore$ New current $\text{I′}=\frac{\text{I}}{2}$
$\therefore VR = 20V ($equal to applied voltage earlier$)$
$VL = 10V$
$VC = 10V$
