Question 17: easy

Given below are two statements :
Statement I : In an LCR series circuit, current is maximum at resonance.
Statement II : Current in a purely resistive circuit can never be less than that in a series LCR circuit (using same resistance) when connected to same voltage source.
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct from the options given below :

1. Statement I is true but Statement II is false
2. Statement I is false but Statement II is true
3. Both Statement I and Statement II are true
4. Both Statement I and Statement II are false
View Answer

At resonance, impedance of an LCR circuit is minimum and equal to \(R\), so current is maximum. In general, impedance \(Z ge R\), hence the current \(I = V/Z\) is less than or equal to the purely resistive current \(V/R\). Thus, both statements are true.

Question 18: easy

The maximum power is dissipated for an ac in a/an

1. Inductive circuit
2. Capacitive circuit
3. Resistive circuit
4. LC circuit
View Answer

The average power dissipated is \(P = V_{\text{rms}} I_{\text{rms}} cos \phi\). For a purely resistive circuit, the phase angle \(\phi = 0\), which gives the maximum power factor \(cos \phi = 1\).

Question 19: moderate

In an LCR series circuit the potential differences across the resistance, capacitance and inductance are \(80\text{ V}\), \(40\text{ V}\) and \(100\text{ V}\) respectively. The power factor of this circuit is:

1. \(0.8\)
2. \(1.0\)
3. \(0.4\)
4. \(0.5\)
View Answer

Total voltage in series LCR is \(V = \sqrt{V_R^2 + (V_L - V_C)^2} = \sqrt{80^2 + (100 - 40)^2} = 100\text{ V}\). Power factor is \(\cos\phi = \frac{V_R}{V} = \frac{80}{100} = 0.8\).

Question 20: easy

In LCR series circuit the values of \(L\), \(C\), \(R\) and \(E_0\) are \(0.01\text{ H}\), \(10^{-5}\text{ F}\), \(25\ \Omega\) and \(220\text{ V}\) respectively. The value of current flowing in the circuit at \(f = 0\) and \(f = \infty\) will respectively be:

1. \(8\text{ A}\) and \(0\text{ A}\)
2. \(0\text{ A}\) and \(0\text{ A}\)
3. \(8\text{ A}\) and \(8\text{ A}\)
4. \(0\text{ A}\) and \(8\text{ A}\)
View Answer

At \(f = 0\), the capacitor acts as an open circuit (\(X_C = \infty\)). At \(f = \infty\), the inductor acts as an open circuit (\(X_L = \infty\)). Therefore, current is zero in both cases.
