Alternating Current

Question
CBSEENPH12047742

In a circuit, L, C and R are connected in series with an alternating voltage source of frequency f. The current leads the voltage by 45°. The value of C is

  • 12πf 2πf L + R

  • 1πf 2πf L + R

  • 12πf 2πf L - R

  • 1πf 2πf L - R

Solution

C.

12πf 2πf L - R

tan ϕ = ωL - 1ωCR 

ϕ being the angle by which the current leads the voltage.Given:- ϕ = 45o tan 45o = ωL - 1ωCR      1   =  ωL - 1ωCR                  ..... tan 45o = 1      R  =    ωL - 1ωC ωC    =   1ωL - R     C  =  1ω ωL - R  C    =    12πf 2πf L -R

In series resonance, L-C-R circuit 1ωCRis greater than unity.
