$A$ choke coil is preferred to a $Rheostat$ in $AC$ circuits because:

  • A
    It consumes almost zero power
  • B
    It increases current
  • C
    It increases power
  • D
    It increases voltage

Assertion: Ohm's law cannot be applied to $a.c.$ circuits.
Reason: Resistance offered by a capacitor for an $a.c.$ source depends upon the frequency of the source.

An electrical device draws $2 \, kW$ power from $AC$ mains $(V_{rms} = 223 \, V = \sqrt{50000} \, V)$. The current lags in phase by $\tan \phi = -\frac{3}{4}$ compared to the voltage. Find $(i)$ $R$,$(ii)$ $X_C - X_L$,and $(iii)$ $I_M$. Another device has twice the values for $R$,$X_C$,and $X_L$. How are the answers affected?

In a series $LCR$ circuit,$R = 200 \, \Omega$ and the voltage and frequency of the main supply are $220 \, V$ and $50 \, Hz$ respectively. On taking out the capacitance from the circuit,the current lags behind the voltage by $30^\circ$. On taking out the inductor from the circuit,the current leads the voltage by $30^\circ$. The power dissipated in the $LCR$ circuit is......$W$.

Assertion : In the purely resistive element of a series $LCR$ $AC$ circuit,the maximum value of $rms$ current increases with an increase in the angular frequency of the applied $e.m.f$.
Reason : $I_{\max} = \frac{\varepsilon_{\max}}{Z}$,where $Z = \sqrt{R^2 + (\omega L - \frac{1}{\omega C})^2}$ and $I_{\max}$ is the peak current in a cycle.

When an inductor of inductance $L = \frac{6}{\pi} \ H$, a capacitor of capacitance $C = \frac{50}{\pi} \ \mu F$ and a resistor of resistance $R$ are connected in series with an $AC$ supply of rms voltage $V_{rms} = 220 \ V$ and frequency $f = 50 \ Hz$, the rms current through the circuit is $I_{rms} = 440 \ mA$. Match the inductive reactance $X_L$, the capacitive reactance $X_C$, the resistance $R$, and the impedance $Z$ of the circuit given in List-$I$ with the corresponding values given in List-$II$.
