Alternating Current

  1. An inductor 20 mH, a capacitor 50 µF and a resistor 40Ω are connected in series across a source of emf V = 10 sin 340 t. The power loss in A.C. circuit is :​​
    1. 0.51 W
    2. 0.67 W ​
    3. 0.76 W ​
    4. 0.89 W
Correct Option: A

​Given: L = 20 mH; C = 50 µF; R = 40 Ω​​V = 10 sin 340 t ​
∴​Vruns = 10 / √2

Xc =1= 1 = 58.8 Ω
ωc340 x 50 x 10-6

XL = ωL = 340 × 20 × 10–3 = 6.8 Ω
Impedance, Z = √R² + (Xc - Xc
= √40² + (58.8 - 6.8)²
= √4304 Ω

= 10/√2² x 40 = 50 x 40 ≈ 0.51 W
