CBSEENPH12037989

(i) State the law that gives the polarity of the induced emf.
(ii) A 15.0 μF capacitor is connected to 220 V, 50 Hz source. Find the capacitive reactance and the rms current.

Solution

(i) The law that gives the polarity of induced emf is given by, Faraday's law of electromagnetic inductionwhich states that :
→ Induced e.m.f. is produced whenever magnetic flux linked with a circuit changes.
→ As long as the change in the magnetic flux continues, the induced e.m.f. lasts.
→ The magnitude of the induced e.m.f. is directly proportional to the rate of change of the magnetic flux linked with the circuit. 

(ii) Given,
Capacitance, C = 15.0 μF = 15 × 10–6  

Effective voltage, V = 220 VFrequency of the AC supply, f = 50 Hz 

Capacitive reactance,   XC = 12πfc

  XC = 12 × 3.14 × 50 × 15 × 10-6

      = 106314 × 15= 10000004710 = 212.31 Ω                    

Rms value of current is ,

 Irms = VXC =  220212.31 = 1.03 A.
