If ω = 50 × 2π then ωL = 20Ω
If ω′ = 100 × 2π then ω′L = 40Ω
Current flowing in the coil isI = 200 = 200 = 200 Z √R² + (ω'L)² √(30)² + (40)²
I = 4A.Correct Option: A
If ω = 50 × 2π then ωL = 20Ω
If ω′ = 100 × 2π then ω′L = 40Ω
Current flowing in the coil isI = 200 = 200 = 200 Z √R² + (ω'L)² √(30)² + (40)²
I = 4A.
- An ac voltage is applied to a resistance R and an inductor L in series. If R and the inductive reactance are both equal to 3Ω, the phase difference between the applied voltage and the current in the circuit is

The phase difference φ is given by
tan φ = XL R = 3 = 1 ⇒ φ = π 3 4
Correct Option: B
The phase difference φ is given by
tan φ = XL R = 3 = 1 ⇒ φ = π 3 4
- In an electrical circuit R, L, C and an a.c. voltage source are all connected in series. When L is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between the voltage the current in the circuit is π/3. If instead, C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again π/3. The power factor of the circuit is :

For series R – C circuit, capacitive reactance,
Zc = √R² + (1 / Cω)²current i = V = V Zc √R² + (1/Cω)² Vc = iXc = V × 1 √ R² + (1 / Cω)² (1/Cω)
Vc = V / √(R Cω)² + 1
If we fill a di-electric material like mica instead of air then capacitance C↑ ⇒ Vc↓ So, Va > Vb
