Divey Sethi answered |
Alternating current is an electric current which periodically reverses direction, as opposed to direct current which flows only in one direction. And it can be easily represented by the periodic function.
So, I = Io sin wt or I = lo cos wt.
So, I = Io sin wt or I = lo cos wt.

Power=IV
Where I=Vrms value of current=IV
And V=Vrms value of voltage=EV
Therefore, P=EVIV
Where I=Vrms value of current=IV
And V=Vrms value of voltage=EV
Therefore, P=EVIV

Krishna Iyer answered |
Answer :- b
Solution :- f = 75hz
w=2πf
= 2 * π * 75
= 150π
E(max) = (2)^½ E(rms)
E(max) = 1.414 * 200
= 282.8V
E(ins) = E(max)sinwt
E(ins) = 282.8 sin 150πt

Because in DC the potential difference is max 220 V but in AC the potential difference is greater than 220V .So AC is more dangerous than DC.pls upvote and follow me.

Krishna Iyer answered |
In an inductor, current lags behind the input voltage by a phase difference of π/2.
Current and voltage are in the same phase in the resistor whereas current leads the voltage by π/2 in a capacitor.
So, the circuit must contain an inductor only.

Aashika Packiaselvam. answered |
Look.. Impendenc means a kind of opposition to a steady electric current ie. resistance. While admittance is a measure to how easily a circuit or device will allow a current to flow. Here by looking at the definition itself, we can clearly say that they are inverse of each other.

Imk Pathsala answered |
Explanation:
Power in an AC circuit is equal to Instantaneous voltage X Instantaneous current:
- In an AC circuit, both voltage and current vary with time, and power is the rate at which work is done or energy is transferred.
- Power in an AC circuit is given by the product of the instantaneous voltage and the instantaneous current at any given moment.
- This means that at any instant, the power being dissipated or consumed in the circuit can be calculated by multiplying the instantaneous voltage and current values at that particular moment.
- Mathematically, the formula for power in an AC circuit is P = V(t) * I(t), where P is power, V(t) is the instantaneous voltage, and I(t) is the instantaneous current at a given time t.
- Therefore, the correct answer is A: Instantaneous voltage X Instantaneous current.

Given, n = 1, B = 10–2 T,
A = π(0.3)2m2, R = π2
f= (200/60) and ω = 2π(200/60)
Substituting these values and solving, we
get
I0 = 6 × 10–3 A = 6mA
A = π(0.3)2m2, R = π2
f= (200/60) and ω = 2π(200/60)

Suresh Iyer answered |
Here Vp=220V Vs=110V
As we know the relation between V and n,
As,
Ve/Vs=np/ns ->220/110
Np/ns=2/1=2:1
Therefore, no. of turns in primary is greater than no. of turns in secondary,
Hence, it is a step-down transformer.

Pooja Mehta answered |
First of all we have to find out dimension of L and R .
We know, relation L answer energy is E = 1/2Li^2
so, dimension of L = dimension of energy/dimension of i2
= [ML2T⁻2]/[A2] = [ML2T⁻2A⁻2]
Similarly we know, relation between R and energy is E = i2Rt
So, dimension of R = dimension of E/dimension of i2t
= [ML2T⁻2][A2T] = [ML2T⁻2A⁻2]
Now, dimension of L/R = dimension of L/dimension of R
= [ML2T⁻2A⁻2][ML2T⁻2A⁻2] = [T]
Hence, answer is [T]

Since E and I are in the same phase.
Therefore, phase difference will be 0 and since power factor= cosx (where x= phase difference) and x =0
therefore, cos x or power factor will be =1
Therefore, phase difference will be 0 and since power factor= cosx (where x= phase difference) and x =0
therefore, cos x or power factor will be =1

Angular frequency of the ac signal w=2πν
∴ w=2π(50)=100π
Capacitive reactance Xc=1/wC
∴ Xc=1/(100π×786×10−6)=4Ω
Inductive reactance XL=wL
∴ XL=100π×(25.48×10−3)=8Ω
Impedance of the circuit Z=√[R2+(XL−Xc)2]
∴ Z=√[32+(8−4)2]=5Ω
Phase difference ϕ=tan−1[(XL−Xc)R]
Or ϕ=tan−1((8−4)/3)=tan−1(4/3)
⟹ ϕ=53.13o
Power factor cosϕ=cos53.13o=0.6
Power dissipated in the circuit
P=Iv2R
Now, Iv=I0/√2=E0/√2Z=283/(1.414×5)=40A
∴P=Iv2R=(40)2×3=4800 watt
∴ w=2π(50)=100π

Explanation:
In an ideal capacitor, there is no power dissipation as there is no resistance in the circuit. Therefore, the average power consumed per cycle is zero. This can be explained by the following points:
- An ideal capacitor is a passive component that stores energy in an electric field between its plates.
- When a capacitor is connected to a voltage source, it charges up to the source voltage and stores energy in the electric field.
- During the charging process, current flows into the capacitor, but there is no power dissipation as there is no resistance in the circuit.
- Once the capacitor is fully charged, there is no current flow and hence no power consumption.
- During discharge, the capacitor releases the stored energy and current flows out of the capacitor, but again there is no power dissipation as there is no resistance in the circuit.
- This charging and discharging process repeats itself in an AC circuit, but the average power consumed per cycle is zero as there is no power dissipation.
Therefore, the correct answer is option 'B' which states that the average power consumed per cycle in an ideal capacitor is zero.

Preeti Iyer answered |
Given P=50W, Vrms=220V,
by P=Vrms2/R
or R=Vrms2/P= 2202/50=968Ω
The peak voltage of the source is,
Erms=E0/√2
=>E0=Erms x √2=220√2=311.13V
Now,
Irms=Vrms/R
=220/968
=0.227A
Hence option B is correct.

Q-factor: In LCR Circuit, the ratio of resonance frequency to the difference of its neighbouring frequencies so that their corresponding current is 1/√2 times of the peak value, is called Q-factor of the circuit.
Formula: Q=(1/R) √(L/C)
So, Q ∝1/R
Conditions for the large value of Q factor:
(i) Value of CL should be large.
(ii) Value of R should be less.

Given,
We are given the current I=1.5Am where the wire will break.
We are asked to determine the root mean square of the current Irms. The maximum current here represents the current that just after it the wire will break. The maximum value of the current is the amplitude of the current wave and it should be larger than the root mean square of the current. Using equation, we can get the Irms in the form,
Irms = Imax/√2
The term, 1/√2, times any factor represents the root mean square of this factor, Now, plug the value for Imax into equation 1 and get Irms
Irms=Imax/√2
=1.5A/√2
=1.06A.

Explanation:
- Inductive Circuits:
In purely inductive circuits, the current lags behind the voltage by π/2 (90 degrees). This is because in an inductive circuit, the voltage leads the current due to the phase shift caused by the presence of inductance.
- Phase Relationship:
When an alternating current passes through an inductor, a back EMF is induced in the coil which opposes the flow of current. This causes the current to lag behind the voltage in an inductive circuit.
- Mathematical Representation:
Mathematically, this phase shift can be represented as a phase angle of π/2 (90 degrees) between the current and voltage in a purely inductive circuit.
- Conclusion:
Therefore, in purely inductive circuits, the current lags behind the voltage by π/2 due to the inherent characteristics of inductors to oppose changes in current flow.

Ritika Sengupta answered |
Sharpness in an AC circuit is measured by the Quality Factor.
Quality Factor:
The quality factor or Q-factor is defined as the ratio of the energy stored in a system to the energy dissipated in the system per cycle of oscillation. It is a dimensionless quantity and is represented by the symbol Q.
Mathematically, Q-factor is given by the ratio of the resonant frequency to the bandwidth of the circuit.
Q-factor = Resonant frequency / Bandwidth
The higher the Q-factor, the sharper the resonance peak of the circuit. A high Q-factor means that the circuit can store energy efficiently and can oscillate for a longer time without losing energy.
Sharpness in an AC Circuit:
In an AC circuit, the sharpness is determined by the Q-factor of the circuit. The Q-factor of the circuit can be defined as the ratio of the energy stored in the circuit to the energy lost per cycle of oscillation. The sharpness of the circuit is directly proportional to the Q-factor of the circuit.
In an AC circuit, the sharpness is determined by the amount of energy stored in the circuit and the amount of energy lost per cycle of oscillation. The more energy the circuit can store, the sharper the resonance peak of the circuit. The less energy the circuit loses, the sharper the resonance peak of the circuit.
Thus, the quality factor is the measure of sharpness in an AC circuit.
