COMEDK2012PhysicsAlternating Current
An inductor and a resistor are connected to an AC supply of 50 ~V and 50 ~Hz . If the voltage across the resistor is 40 ~V , then the voltage across the inductor will be
Options
- A10 ~V
- B20 ~V
- C30 ~V
- D60 ~V
Correct answer
C. 30 ~V
Step-by-step solution
Given, V_ S =50 ~V , V_ R =40 ~V For an L-R circuit, aligned V_ S &= V_ R ²+V_ L ² V_ L &= V_ S ²-V_ R ² &= 50²-40² &= 2500-1600 = 900 =30 ~V aligned
