 For the interval 0 < t < 2,i = 10 × 103 t (tns) 2 v = L di = 3 × 10-3 × 10 × 103 dt 2 
 ∴ p = 75,000 t
 Correct Option: CInstantaneous power, p = vi 
 For the interval 0 < t < 2,i = 10 × 103 t (tns) 2 v = L di = 3 × 10-3 × 10 × 103 dt 2

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum Given: V = 20 V Current through 20 ohm resistance = 20 = 1 amp 20 
 Voltage across 10 ohm resistor = 40 – 20 = 20 V
 Current through the capacitor = 2 – 1 = 1 amp∴ C dv = 1 dv = 1 amp dt 2 dt ⇒ dv = 2 V / s dt 
 Correct Option: BGiven: V = 20 V Current through 20 ohm resistance = 20 = 1 amp 20 
 Voltage across 10 ohm resistor = 40 – 20 = 20 V
 Current through the capacitor = 2 – 1 = 1 amp∴ C dv = 1 dv = 1 amp dt 2 dt ⇒ dv = 2 V / s dt

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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: DNet 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°

-  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?

                        View Hint View Answer Discuss in Forum 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.
