A series LCR circuit is connected to a source of alternating e.m.f. of 5050 V. The potential difference across inductor and capacitor is 8080 V and 5050 V respectively. The potential difference across the resistor is

Options

  1. A8080 V
  2. B7070 V
  3. C5050 V
  4. D4040 V

Correct answer

D. 4040 V

Step-by-step solution

In a series LCR circuit, the relationship between the applied voltage VV and the voltages across the resistor VRV_R, inductor VLV_L, and capacitor VCV_C is given by:

V=VR2+(VL−VC)2V = \sqrt{V_R^2 + (V_L - V_C)^2}

Given:
V=50V = 50 V
VL=80V_L = 80 V
VC=50V_C = 50 V

Substituting the values into the formula:

50=VR2+(80−50)250 = \sqrt{V_R^2 + (80 - 50)^2}

502=VR2+30250^2 = V_R^2 + 30^2

2500=VR2+9002500 = V_R^2 + 900

VR2=2500−900=1600V_R^2 = 2500 - 900 = 1600

VR=40V_R = 40 V

Answer: 4040 V
