In an LCR series circuit, source of emf is :
\( E = 30\sin(100t) \) and \( R = 120\,\Omega \), \( L = 100\,\mathrm{mH} \), \( C = 100\,\mu\mathrm{F} \)
(A) The numerical value of impedance
(B) The numerical value of Resistance R
(C) The numerical value of capacitive reactance
(D) The numerical value of inductive reactance
Arrange the values of quantities mentioned in (A, B, C, D) in increasing order.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → (D), (C), (B), (A)
Read the angular frequency from the emf and find each reactance, then the impedance of the series circuit.
\( \omega = 100\,\mathrm{rad/s} \)
\( L = 100\,\mathrm{mH} = 0.1\,\mathrm{H} \)
\( C = 100\,\mu\mathrm{F} = 10^{-4}\,\mathrm{F} \)
(D) The numerical value of inductive reactance — \( X_L = \omega L = 100 \times 0.1 = 10\,\Omega \)
(C) The numerical value of capacitive reactance — \( \displaystyle X_C = \frac{1}{\omega C} = \frac{1}{100 \times 10^{-4}} = 100\,\Omega \)
(B) The numerical value of Resistance R — \( R = 120\,\Omega \)
(A) The numerical value of impedance — \( \displaystyle Z = \sqrt{R^{2} + (X_C - X_L)^{2}} = \sqrt{120^{2} + 90^{2}} = \sqrt{22500} = 150\,\Omega \)
\( 10 \lt 100 \lt 120 \lt 150 \)
The increasing order is (D), (C), (B), (A).
