Q 34. An ideal capacitor of capacitance 0.2 µF is charged to a potential difference of 10 V. The charging battery is then disconnected. The capacitor is then connected to an ideal inductor of self-inductance 0.5 mH. The current at a time when the potential difference across the capacitor is 5 V, is:     [2018]
(1) 0.34 A
(2) 0.25 A
(3) 0.15 A
(4) 0.17 A
Ans: (4)
Solution:

Q_o = 0.2 × 10 µC = 2µC

V_o = 10V
E_i of capacitor = 1/2 × 0.2 µf × (10V)²
= 10µJ
E_f of capacitor = 1/2 × 0.2µf × (5V)²
= 2.5 µj
E_inductor  = 7.5 µJ = 1/2 Li²
⇒ 7.5 × 10⁻⁶ = 1/2 × 0.5 × 10⁻³ × i²
⇒ 30 × 10⁻³ = i²
⇒ i = √3/10 = 0.17 A

Q 35.  A power transmission line feeds input power at 2300V to a step down transformer with its primary windings having 4000 turns giving the output power at 230V. If the current in the primary coil of the transformer is 5A and its efficiency is 90% the output current would be:    [2018]
(1) 45A
(2) 50A
(3) 20A
(4) 25A
Ans: A
Solution:
We know, formula

where, η is efficiency, P_x denotes pawar of secondary transmission, P_η
denotes power of primary transmission

so, 0.9 = 230 x I_x / 2300 x 5
hence, I_x = 45A
therefore, output current would be 45A

Q 48. The ratio (R) of output resistance r₀, and the input resistance r_i in measurements of input and output characteristics of a transistor is typically in the range:     [2016]
(1) R~0.1 –0.01 
(2) R~0.1 –1.0 
(3) R~10² –10³ 
(4) R~1 –10      
Ans: (3)
Solution:

The small signal model of a BJT is shown in the figure. From this figure, R_out = r_o since the voltage across B and E will be 0 and hence current will only flow through r₀.
Input resistance will be R_in = r_π since current will flow only through r_π
Hence

Since r₀ is very large and of the order of 100 kΩ and r_π  is of the order of 1- 10 kΩ, the ratio R will be of the order of 100 - 1000.
