An electric bulb has a rated power of 50 W at 100 V. If it is used on an AC source 200 V, 50 Hz, a choke has to be used in series with it. This choke should have an inductance of

  • 0.1 mH

  • 1 mH

  • 0.1 mH

  • 1.1 H

Solution

D.

1.1 H

Power P = I × V

             = V R × V

           P = V2 R

Resistance of bulb

          R = V2P

           R = 100250

               = 200 Ω 

Current through bulb

            (I) = VR

                 = 100200

              I  =  0.5 A

In a circuit containing inductive reactance (XL ) and resistance (R ), impedance (Z) of the circuit is

             Z = R2 + ω2 L2              ...... (i)

             Z = 2000.5

             Z = 400 Ω

Now,      XL2 = Z2 - R2

             XL2  = ( 400 )2  - ( 200 )2

           2 πf L2 = 12 × 104

             L = 23 × 1002π × 50

                  = 23 π

              L = 1.1 H

Question

Three concurrent co-planar forces 1 N, 2 N and 3 N acting along different directions on a body

  • can keep the body in equilibrium if 2 N and 3 N act at right angle

  • can keep the body in equilibrium if 1 N and 2 N act at right angle

  • cannot keep the body in equilibrium

  • can keep the body in equilibrium in 1 N and 3 N act at an acute angle

Solution

C.

cannot keep the body in equilibrium

If we keep 1 N and 2 N forces act in the same direction then these are balanced by 3 N force, but this is against statement of question.

Hence, options (c) is correct.

Question
CBSEENPH11026268

Two rectangular blocks A and B of masses 2 kg and 3 kg respectively are connected by a spring of constant 10.8 Nm-1 and are placed on a frictionless horizontal surface. The block A was given an initial velocity of 0.15 ms-1 in the direction shown in the figure. The maximum compression of the spring during the motion is

        

  • 0.01 m

  • 0.02 m

  • 0.05 m

  • 0.03 m

Solution

C.

0.05 m

As the block A moves with velocity 0.15 ms-1  it compresses the spring which pushes B towards right. A goes on compressing the spring till the velocity acquired by B becomes equal to the velocity of A, i.e., 0.15 ms-1.Let this velocity be v.

Now, spring is in a state of maximum compression. Let x be the maximum compression at this stage.

           

According to the law of conservation of linear momentum, we get

             mA u = mA + mB v

⇒               v = mA umA + mB        

⇒                   = 2 × 0.152 + 3

                  v = 0.06 ms-1

According to the law of conservation of energy

         12 m A u2 = 12 mA +  mB v2 + 12 k x2

          12 mA u2 - 12 mA  +  mB v2 = 12 k x2   

   12× 2 × 0.152 - 12 2 + 3 0.062  = 12  k x2

                         0.0225 - 0.009 = 12 k x2

                          0.0135 = 12 k x2

⇒                              x = 0.027k

⇒                                 = 0.02710.8

                           x = 0.05 m

Question
CBSEENPH11026274

A boy on a cycle pedals around a circle of 20 metres radius at a speed of 20 m/s. The combined mass of the body and the cycle makes with the vertical so that it may not fall is (g = 9.8 m/s2 )

  • 60.25o

  • 63.90o

  • 26.12o

  • 30.00o

Solution

B.

63.90o

A body that travels an equal distance in equal amounts of time along a circular path has a constant speed but not constant velocity. This is because velocity is a vector and thus it has magnitude as well as direction.

               v = ( Rg tanθ )1/2

               tan θ = v2r g

               = 40020 × 900

         tan θ = 63.70o 

         tanθ ≈ 63.90o
