Question 18: moderate

A square wave current switching rapidly between \(+0.5\) ampere and \(-0.5\) ampere is passed through an A.C ammeter. Then the reading shown by it, is

1. 0.25 ampere
2. 0.5 ampere
3. \(\frac{0.5}{\sqrt{2}}\) ampere
4.

\(0.5 \times \sqrt{2}\) ampere

An AC ammeter measures the RMS value of the current. For a symmetric square wave of amplitude \(I_0\), the RMS value is equal to its peak value, \(I_{rms} = I_0 = 0.5\text{ A}\).

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 \(\cos\phi = \frac{V_R}{V} = \frac{80}{100} = 0.8\).
