A series LRLR circuit connected with an ac source E=(25sin⁡1000t)VE = ( 25\sin 1000t ) V has a power factor of 12\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}. If the source of emf is changed to E=(20sin⁡2000t)VE = ( 20\sin 2000t ) V, the new power factor of the circuit will be :

Options

  1. A12\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}
  2. B13\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{3}}
  3. C15\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}
  4. D17\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{7}}

Correct answer

C. 15\dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}

Step-by-step solution

For LRLR circuit, cosϕ=R(XL)2+R2=12cosϕ = \dfrac{R}{\sqrt{{\left({X}_{L}\right)}^{2} + {R}^{2}}} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{2}}

⇒R=XL⇒ R = {X}_{L}

Now, ω′=2ω{\omega}^{'} = 2\omega

Therefore, (XL)′=ω′L=2\omegaL=2XL{\left({X}_{L}\right)}^{'} = {\omega}^{'}L = 2\omegaL = 2{X}_{L}

Hence, cosϕ′=R(2XL)2+R2=15cos{ϕ}^{'} = \dfrac{R}{\sqrt{{\left(2{X}_{L}\right)}^{2} + {R}^{2}}} = \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{5}}
