Passage : (Q. No. 23 to 25) 
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

FAQs on DC Pandey Solutions (JEE Advanced): Alternating Current - DC Pandey Solutions for JEE Physics

1. What is alternating current (AC) in the context of JEE Advanced?
Ans. Alternating current refers to the flow of electric charge that periodically reverses direction. In the JEE Advanced exam, AC is an important topic in the Physics syllabus. It involves the study of the characteristics of AC circuits, such as voltage, current, power, and impedance.
2. How is the frequency of alternating current determined in JEE Advanced?
Ans. The frequency of alternating current is determined by the number of complete cycles it completes in one second. In JEE Advanced, the frequency of AC is often given in Hertz (Hz) and can be calculated using the formula: Frequency = 1 / Time period. The time period is the time taken by one complete cycle of AC.
3. What is the phase difference in alternating current and how is it related to JEE Advanced?
Ans. The phase difference in alternating current refers to the angular difference between the voltage and current waveforms in an AC circuit. In JEE Advanced, understanding the concept of phase difference is crucial in solving problems related to AC circuits. The phase difference can be calculated using the formula: Phase Difference = 360° x (Time difference / Time period).
4. How does an inductor behave in an alternating current circuit, and why is it significant in JEE Advanced?
Ans. An inductor in an alternating current circuit resists the change in current flow due to its property of self-inductance. When AC flows through an inductor, it generates a back electromotive force (emf) that opposes the change in current. In JEE Advanced, understanding the behavior of inductors in AC circuits is important for analyzing and solving problems related to inductive reactance and impedance.
5. What is the difference between root mean square (RMS) and average value in the context of alternating current, and why is it important for JEE Advanced?
Ans. The RMS value of an alternating current is the square root of the average of the squares of its instantaneous values. It represents the effective value of AC and is used to calculate power in AC circuits. The average value of an alternating current is the arithmetic mean of its instantaneous values over one complete cycle. In JEE Advanced, understanding the difference between RMS and average values is necessary for solving problems related to power calculations and circuit analysis.
