A student in a lab took a coil and connected it to a 12 VDC source. He measures the steady state
current in the circuit to be 4 A. He then replaced the 12 V DC source by a 12 V, ( ? = 50 rad/s) AC
source and observes that the reading in the AC ammeter is 2.4 A. He then decides to connect a
2500 ?F capacitor in series with the coil and calculate the average power developed in the circuit.
Further he also decides to study the variation in current in the circuit (with the capacitor and the
battery in series).
Based on the readings taken by the student answer the following questions.
Q 23. The
value of resistance of the coil calculated by the student is
(a) 3 ? (b) 4 ? (c) 5 ? (d) 8?
Q 24. The power developed in the circuit when the capacitor of 2500 ?F
is connected in series with the
coil is
(a) 28.8 W (b) 23.04 W (c) 17.28 W (d) 9.6 W
Q 25. Which of the following graph roughly matches the variations of current in the circuit (with the coil
and capacitor connected in the series) when the angular frequency is decreased from 50 rad/s to 25
rad/s?
(a) (b) (c) (d)
Passage : (Q. No. 26 to 28)
It is known to all of you that the impedance of a circuit is dependent on the frequency of source. In
order to study the effect of frequency on the impedance, a student in a lab took 2 impedance boxes
P and Q and connected them in series with an AC source of variable frequency. The emf of the
