A resistor of 50 , inductor of self inductance ( 3 ^2 ) H and a capacitor of unknown capacity are connected in series to an a.c. source of 100 V and 50 Hz . When the voltage and current are in phase, the value of capacitance is (nearly)
Options
- A0.66 10⁻⁴ ~F
- B0.33 10⁻⁴ ~F
- C0.66 10⁻² ~F
- D0.33 10⁻² ~F
Correct answer
B. 0.33 10⁻⁴ ~F
Step-by-step solution
Given: L = 3 ^2 H and f =50 ~Hz As voltage and current are in phase, the circuit is a resonant circuit. aligned & X _ C = X _ L & 1 C = L & C = 1 ^2 ~L = 1 4 ^2 f ^2 ~L &= 1 4 ^2 (50)^2 3 ^2 =0.33 10⁻⁴ ~F aligned
