A series LCR circuit is connected across a source E of e.m.f. E=15\sin \left(50π\pit-\dfrac{\pi}{3}\right). The current from the supply isI=5\sin \left(50\pi t+\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)$. The impedance of the circuit and the phase difference between e.m.f. and current are, respectively, [all the quantities in the above two equations are in SI units.]

Options

  1. A5\ \Omega,\ (π6)c\left(\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)^{c}
  2. B3\ \Omega,\ (π2)c\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)^{c}
  3. C7\ \Omega,\ (π12)c\left(\dfrac{\pi}{12}\right)^{c}
  4. D9\ \Omega,\ (π4)c\left(\dfrac{\pi}{4}\right)^{c}

Correct answer

B. 3\ \Omega,\ (π2)c\left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)^{c}

Step-by-step solution

Given the equations for e.m.f. and current:

E=15sin⁡(50\pit−π3)<br><br>E = 15\sin \left(50\pit - \dfrac{\pi}{3}\right)<br><br> I = 5\sin \l \left(50\pit+t +\dfrac{\pi}{6}\right)

The peak voltage is E0=15E_0 = 15 V and the peak current is I0=5I_0 = 5 A.

The impedance of the circuit is given by:

Z=Z =\dfrac{E_0}{I_0} = \dfrac{15}{5} =3\ \Omega<br><br>Thephaseofthee.m.f.is<br><br>The phase of the e.m.f. is\phi_E = 50\pit−t -\dfrac{\pi}{3}andthephaseofthecurrentisϕI=and the phase of the current is\phi_I =50\pit+t +\dfrac{\pi}{6}.

The phase difference \Delta \phi betweenthethee.m.f. and the current is:

\Delta \phi = |\phi_I - \phi_E| = \left|\lleft(50\pit + \dfrac{\pi}{6}\right) - \lleft(50\pit−t -\dfrac{\pi}{3})|

\Delta \phi = \dfrac{\pi}{6} + \dfrac{\pi}{3} = \dfrac{\pi}{6} + \dfrac{2\pi}{6} = \dfrac{3\pi}{6} = \dfrac{\pi}{2} radians.

Thus,thetheimpedance is 3\ \Omegaandthephasedifferenceis(π2)cand the phase difference is \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)^{c}.

Answer: 3 Ω, (π2)c3\ \Omega,\ \left(\dfrac{\pi}{2}\right)^{c}
