Physics Alternating Current 5 Marks
Appeared in: 2024 (2 sets)
(a) (i) You are given three circuit elements X, Y and Z. They are connected one by one across a given ac source. It is found that V and I are in phase for element X. V leads I by $\left$\frac{\pi}{4}\right$$ for element Y while I leads V by $\left$\frac{\pi}{4}\right$$ for element Z. Identify elements X, Y and Z. (ii) Establish the expression for impedance of circuit when elements X, Y and Z are connected in series to an ac source. Show the variation of current in the circuit with the frequency of the applied ac source. (iii) In a series LCR circuit, obtain the conditions under which (i) impedance is minimum and (ii) wattless current flows in the circuit.
