    Net voltage applied to the circuit is 200 ∠0° V

    I1 =
    200∠0°
    = 20∠0° = 20
    10.0

    I2 =
    200∠0°
    = 20∠90° = -j20
    10∠90°

    ∴ I = I1 + I2 = 20(1 – j) = 20 √2 ∠ 45°
    Voltage,V1 = 100 (1 + j) = 100 √2 ∠ 45°
    Required phase angle = – 45° – 45° = – 90°

    Correct Option: D

  1. A load that has a resistance of 10 ohms is to be connected to a supply that has a constant voltage of 120 volts. If it is desired that the currrent to the load be varied from 3 to 5 amperes, what are the resistance and the current rating of the series rheostat that permit this variation?

    The 10 ohms load when connected to 120 V supply will take a current

    110
    = 12 A
    10

    without rheostat in the circuit.
    Since it is desired to restrict the current flow through the load at 3 to 5 amperes, therefore voltage drop in the load = 3 × 10 = 30 volts at 3 amperes, and
    = 5 × 10 = 50 volts at 5 amperes.
    When voltage drop across the load is 30 V, then voltage drop in the rheostat must be = 120 – 30 = 90 volts.
    Since same curent flows through the rheostat, resistance of the rheostat must be
    =
    90
    = 30 ohms
    3

    When voltage drop across the load is 50 V, voltage drop in the rheostat must be = 120 – 50 = 70 volts.
    Since same current flows through the rheostat, resistance of the rheostat must be
    =
    70
    = 14 ohms
    5

    Thus rating of rheostat must be 30 ohms and 5 amperes.

    When voltage drop across the load is 30 V, then voltage drop in the rheostat must be = 120 – 30 = 90 volts.
    Since same curent flows through the rheostat, resistance of the rheostat must be
