Let `v` be the velocity at some instant. Then motional emf `V=Bvl`
Charge stored in capacitor `q=CV=(CBl)v`
Current in the wire `=(dq)/(dt)=(CBl)(dv)/(dt)`
Magnetic force `F_m=ilB=(CB^2l^2)(dv)/(dt)`(upwards)
`:.` Net force `F_("net") = mg - F_(m)`
or `m=(dv)/(dt) = mg -(CB^(2)l^(2)) (dv)/(dt)`
`:. (dv)/(dt) =`acceleration, `a=(mg)/(m+CB^2l^2)`

(d) `20mu v`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
(d) Volume of the balloon at any instant, when rdius is `r`,
`V = (4)/(3)pir^(3)`
Time rate of change of volume,
`(dV)/(dt) = 4pir^(2)(dr)/(dt)`
Time rate of change of radius of balloon,
`(dr)/(dt) = (1)/(4pir^(2))(dV)/(dt)`
Flux through rubber band at the given instant,
`phi = B(pir^(2))`
`Induced emf = -(dphi)/(dt) = -(d)/(dt)(Bpir^(2)) = -2pirB(dr)/(dt)`
`= -2pirB.((1)/(4pir^(2))(dV)/(dt)) = -(B)/(2r)(dV)/(dt)`

As volume of the balloon is decreasing, `(dV)/(dt)` is negative.
`E_(induced) = -((0.04))/(2 xx 10 xx 10^(-2)) xx (-100 xx 10^(-6)) = 20mu V`

A pair of parallel horizontal conducting rails of negligible resistance shorted at one end is fixed on a table. The distance between the rails is `L`. A conducting massless rod of resistance `R` can slide on the rails frictionlessly. The rod is tied to a massless string which passes over a pulley fixed to the edge of the table. A mass `m` tied to the other end of the string hangs vertically. A constant magnetic field `B` exists perpendicular to the table. If the system is released from rest, calculate a. the terminal velocity achieved by the rod and b. The acceleration of the mass of the instant when the velocity of the rod is half the terminal velocity.

Answer» a. Let `v` be the velocity of the wire (as well as block )at any instant of time `t`.
Motional emf `e=BvL`
Motional current `i=e/r=(BvL)/L`
and magnetic force on the wire
`F_m=iLB=(vB^2L^2)/R`
Net force on the system at this moment will be
`F_("net")=mg-F_m=mg-(vB^2L^2)/R`
`ma=mg-(vB^2L^2)/R`
`a=(vB^2L^2)/(mR)`
Velocity will acquire its terminal value i.e. `v=v_T` when
`F_("net")` or acceleration `a` of the particle becomes zero.
Thus, `0=g-(v_TB^2L^2)/(mR)`
or `v_T=(mgR)/(B^2L^2)`
b. when `v=v_T/2=(mgR)/(2B^2L^2)`
Then from Eqn (i) acceleratin of the block
`a=g-((mgR)/(2B^2L^2))((B^2L^2)/(mR))=g-g/2`
or `a=g/2`

As `(E_(s))/(E_(P)) = (n_(s))/(n_(P)) = (1000)/(200) = 5`
`:. E_(P) = (E_(s))/(5) = (1000)/(5) = 200 V`
From `eta = (P_(0))/(P_(i)) , P_(i) = (P_(0))/(n) = 10 kW`
`:. I_(P) = (1000)/(200) = 50 A`

From, `P = (E_(v)^(2))/(R ) , R = (E_(v)^(2))/(R ) = (220 xx 220)/(100) = 484 Omega`
`E_(0) = sqrt2 E_(v) = 1.414 xx 220 = 311 V`

Answer» Correct Answer - D
At resnonace, `omegaL = 1/(omegaC) and Z = R`
Current through the circuit `I = (V_R)/(R) = 100/1000 = 0.1A`
`:.` Voltage across L is given by `V_(L) = IX_(L) = I omega L`
but `omega L = 1/(omega C)`

In a series RC circuit, R = 30 ohm, `C = 0.25 mu F`, `V = 100 V, omega = 10000 rad//s`. Find the current in the circuit and calculate the voltage across the resistor and capacitor. Is the algebraic sum of these voltages more than the source voltage ? If yes, resolve the paradox.

Answer» Here, `R = 30 Omega, C = 0.25 mu F, E_(v) = 100 V`,
`omega = 10000 rad//s, I_(v) = ?`
`X_(C ) = (1)/(omega C) = (1)/(10000 xx 0.25 xx 10^(-6)) = 400 Omega`
`Z = sqrt(R^(2) + X_(C )^(2)) = sqrt(30^(2) + (400)^(2)) = 401.1 Omega`
`I_(v) = (E_(v))/(Z) = (100)/(401.1) ~= 0.25 A`
`V_(R ) = I_(v) X_(R ) = 0.25 xx 30 = 7.5 V`
`V_(C ) = I_(V) X_(C ) = 0.25 xx 400 V`
`V_(R ) + V_(C ) = 7.5 + 100 = 107.5 V`, which is more than source voltage = 100 V .This is because `V_(R )` and `V_(C )` are not in the same phase.

Answer» Here, `R = 40 Omega, L = 3 mH = 3 xx 10^(-3) H`,
`C = 2 mu F = 2 xx 10^(-6) F, E_(v) = 110 V, v = 5000 Hz`
`X_(L) = omega L = 2 pi L = 2 xx 3.14 xx 5000 xx 3 xx 10^(-3)`
`= 94.2 Omega`
`X_(C ) = (1)/(omega C) = (1)/(2 pi v C)`
`= (1)/(2 xx 3.14 xx 5000 xx 2 xx 10^(-6)) = 15.92 Omega`
`Z = sqrt(R^(23) + (X_(L) - X_(C ))^(2))`
`= sqrt(40^(2) + (94.2 - 15.92)^(2)) = 87.9 Omega`
`I_(v) = (E_(v))/(Z) = (110)/(87.9) = 1.25 A`

A resistor of 50 ohm, an inductor of `(20//pi)` H and a capacitor of `(5//pi) mu F` are connected in series to an a.c. source 230 V, 50 Hz. Find the current in the circuit.

Answer» Here, `R = 50 ohm`
`L = (20)/(pi) H, C = (5)/(pi) mu F = (5xx 10^(-6))/(pi) F`
`E_(v) = 230 V, v = 50 Hz, I_(v) = ?`
`X_(L) = omega L = 2 pi v L = 2 pi v ((20)/(pi))`
` = 40 xx 50 = 2000 Omega`
`X_(C ) = (1)/(omega C) = (1)/(2 pi v c) = (1 pi)/(2 pi v xx 5 xx 10^(-6))`
`= (1)/(10 xx 50) = 2000 Omega`
` Z = sqrt(R^(2) + (X_(L) - X_(C ))^(2))`
`= sqrt(50^(2) + (2000 - 2000)^(2)) = 50 Omega`
`I_(v) = (E_(v))/(Z) = (230)/(50) = 4.6 A`

An inductor L, capacitor of `20 mu F` and a resistor of `10 Omega` are connected in series with 220 V, 50 Hz a.c. supply. If current is in phase with the voltage, calculate the inductance. What is the value of current in the circuit ?

Answer» Here, `C = 20 mu F = 20 xx 10^(-6) F, R = 10 Omega`
`E_(v) = 220 V, v = 50 Hz, L = ? I_(v) = ?`
As current is in phase with the voltage,
`X_(L) = X_(C )`
`omega L = (1)/(omega C)`,
`L = (1)/(omega^(2) C ) = (1)/((2 pi v )^(2) C)`
`L = (1)/((2 pi xx 50)^(2) xx 20 xx 10^(-6)) = 0.506 H`
` Z = sqrt(R^(2) + (x_(L) - X_(C ))^(2)) = R = 10 Omega`
`I_(v) = (E_(v))/(Z) = (220)/(10) = 22 A`

A `1 mu F` capacitor is connected to a 220 V, 50 Hz a.c. source. Find the virtual value of current through the circuit if a resistor of `100 Omega` is connected in series with the capacitor.

Answer» Here, `C = 1 mu F = 10 ^(-6) F, E_(v) = 220 V, v = 50 Hz`
`R = 100 Omega, I_(v) = ?`
`X_(C ) = (1)/(omega C) = (1)/(2 pi v C ) = (1)/(2 xx 3.14 xx 50 xx 10^(-6))`
` = 3.185 xx 10^(-3) ohm`
`Z = sqrt(R^(2) + X_(C )^(2)) = sqrt(100^(2) + (3.185 xx 10^(3))^(2))`
` = 3186.6 ohm`
`I_(v) = (E_(v))/(Z) = (200)/(3186.6) A = 0.069 A`

A resistance of `40 Omega` is connected to an source of 220 v, 50 Hz. Find the (i) rms current (ii) maximum instantaneous current in resistor.

Answer» Here, `R = 40 Omegam E_(v) = 220 V, v = 50 Hz`,
(i) `I_(v) = (E_(v))/( R) = (220)/(40) = 5.5 A`
`I_(v) = sqrt 2 I_(v) = 1.414 xx 5.5 = 7.78 A`
If alternating current is given by `I = I_(0) sin omega t`, then
`I_(0) = I_(0) sin omega t_(1) = 1` or `omega t_(1) = (pi)/(2)`
and `I_(v) = (I_(0))/(sqrt 2) = I_(0) sin omega t_(2)`, which implies
`omega t_(2) (pi)/(2) + (pi)/(4)`
`:. omega (t_(2) - t_(1)) = (pi)/(2) + (pi)/(4) - (pi)/(2) = (pi)/(4)`
`t_(2) - t_(1) = (pi)/(4 omega) = (pi)/(4 xx 2 pi v) = (1)/(8 v) = (1)/(8 xx 50)`
`= 2.5 xx 10^(-3) s = 2.5 ms`

An electrical device draws 2 kW power form AC mains [voltage 223 V (rms) `= sqrt(50,000) V`]. The current differs (lags) in phase by `phi (tan = (-3)/(4))` as compared to 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 ?

Answer» Here, `P = 2 kW = 2000 W. E_(v) = sqrt(50000) = 223 V, tan phi = - (3)/(4) , R = ? , X_(C ) - X_(L) = ?, I_(M) = I_(0) = ?`
From `P = (E_(upsilon)^(2))/(Z) , Z = (E_(upsilon)^(2))/(P) = (50000)/(2000) = 25 Omega`
Now, `tan phi = (X_(C ) - X_(L))/(R ) = - (3)/(4) :. X_(C ) - X_(L) = - (3)/(4) R`
From `Z^(2) = R^(2) + (X_(C ) - X_(L))^(2)`
`(25)^(2) = R^(2) + (-(3)/(4) R)^(2) = (25)/(16) R^(2)`
`R = (4)/(5) xx (25) = 20 ohm`
From (i), `X_(C ) - X_(L) = - (3)/(4) xx 20 = - 15 Omega`
Now, `I_(upsilon) = (E_(upsilon))/(Z) = (223)/(25) ~= 9 A` `I_(0) = sqrt(2) I_(upsilon) = sqrt2 xx 9 A = 12.6 A`
When R, `X_(C ), X_(L)` are all doubled, `tan phi` does not change , Z is doubled, current is halved and power drawn is halved.

here,
`i=(e)/(sqrt(R^(2)+X_(L)^(2)))=(e)/(sqrt(R^(2)+omega^(2)L^(2)))=(e)/(sqrt(R^(2)+4 pi^(2)v^(2)L^(2)))`
`10=(220)/(sqrt(64xx4 pi ^(2)(50^(2)L` [`:. R=v//(i) = 80/18]`
pm solving we get ltbr. `L=0.065h`.

A `15.0 mu F` capacitor is connected to a 220 V, 50 Hz source. Find the capacitative reactance and the current (rms and peak) in the circuit. If the frequency is doubled. What happens to the capactive reactance and current ?

Answer» Here, `C = 15.0 mu F = 15 xx 10^(-6) F`
`E_(v) = 220 V, v = 50 Hz, X_(C ) = ?`
`I_(v) = ?, I_(0) = ?`
`X_(C ) = (1)/(omega C) = (1)/(2 pi v C) = (1)/(2 xx (22)/(7) xx 50 xx 10^(-6))`
`= (7 xx 10^(4))/(22 xx 15) = 212 ohm`
`I_(v) = (E_(v))/(X_(C )) = (220)/(212) = 1.04 A`,
`I_(0) = sqrt 2 I_(v) = 1.414 xx 1.04 = 1.47 A`
When frequency is doubled, `X_(C)` is halved and current is doubled.
