1 With neat sketch briefly explain how an alternating voltage is produced when coil is rotated in a
magnetic field.

2 Define and explain the following i) Frequency,(ii) True period,(iii) Amplitude,(iv) Phase difference.

3 Derive an expression for instantaneous value of alternating sinusoidal emf in terms of its maximum
value, frequency and true.

(i)Instantaneous value (ii) Angular velocity (iii) RMS value (iv) Average value.

5 Define the form factor and peak factor.

6 Prove that for a sine-wave,

Max.value
RMS value=
√2

7 What do you understand by phase and phase difference in case of alternating quantities? 8

Derive an expression for average value of a sinusoidally varying quantities.

9 Give physical significance of inductive reactance and capacitive reactance.

10 Define the following:
(i) Active Power (ii) Reactive Power (iii) Apparent Power

11 An alternating quantity is represented by e=50 sin157t.find:

(i)Maximum value of voltage
(ii)R.M.S. value
(iii)Frequency [Ans.50 V,35.35 V,25 Hz]
12 An alternating voltage is represented by: E=141.4 sin 377 t.
Find
i)the maximum value,(ii)frequency,(iii)time period and(iv)the instantaneous value of voltage when t is
3ms.
[Ans.(i)141.4V (ii)60 Hz (iii)16.67 ms (iv)127.8 V]
13
As alternating current of frequency 50 Hz has a maximum value of 200 √2 A.Recording the time from
the instant the current is zero and becoming positive, find the time taken by the current to reach a value
of 141.4 A for a first and second time. [Ans.1.67 ms;21.67 ms]

14 A 230 V,50 Hz voltage is applied across a resistance of 10Ω. Determine current, power absorbed. Draw
the vector diagram. [Ans.(i)23 A,(ii)5290 W]
