    CBSEENPH11026252

    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 582
    CBSEENPH11026254

    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 583
    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 584
    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
