TIME 40 MINUTES CLASS 12 PHYSICS M.M 15

1.A circuit consists of a capacitor of 2μF and a resistor of 1000 Ω. An alternating emf of 12 V and
frequency 50 Hz is applied. Find the voltage across the capacitor and the phase angle between the
applied emf and the current. (3)
2. An ac source of 220 V, 50 Hz is connected to a series circuit containing a resistor R and inductor L and
a capacitor C. If R = 200 Ω , L = 0.5 H and C = 10μF, calculate, (i) the current in the circuit, (ii) the power
consumed in the circuit. (3)
3. A coil of inductance L and negligible resistance is in series with a resistance R. A supply voltage of 40
V(rms) is connected to them. If a voltage across L is equal to that across R, caculate the voltage across R
and the frequency of the supply? (Given L = 0.1 H and R = 40 Ω) (3)
4. A 100 V, 50 Hz ac source is connected to an LCR circuit containing L = 8.1 mH, C = 12.5μF and R = 10 Ω
all connected in series. Find the potential difference across the resistor. Also draw the phasor diagram
for the same (3)
5. It is required to construct a transformer which gives 12 V from a 240 V AC supply
