Alternating Current

Question
CBSEENPH12047804

In a series L-C-R circuit, resistance R = 10 Ω and the impedance Z = 10 Ω. The phase difference between the current and the voltage is

  • 0o

  • 30o

  • 45o

  • 60o

Solution

A.

0o

Impedance (Z ) is an expression of the opposition that an electronic component, circuit, or system offers to alternating and/or direct electric current. Impedance is a vector ( two- dimensional ) quantity consisting of two independent scalar ( one dimensional ) phenomena: resistance and reactance.

Impedance,

        z = R2 + XC - XL2

∴        10 = 102+ XC - XL2

⇒        100 = 100 + XC - XL2

⇒        XL - XC = 0                            ..... (i)

Let ϕ is the phase difference between current and voltage

∴        tan ϕ = XC - XLR

           tan ϕ = XC - XLR

⇒              ϕ = 0                    [ from equation (i) ]
