Physics Alternating Current Mix MCQ (Single Correct)

In the circuit shown, switch S 1 was closed for a long time. At time t = 0 the switch is opened again.

A
Find the maximum potential difference across the plates of the capacitor after the switch is opened. Also find the angular frequency of oscillation of the charge on the capacitor.
B
Now the battery and the resistance (100 Ω ) are removed and an AC source with a peak emf of 200 V and angular frequency 100 rad/s is applied between A and B. Find the peak value of the current drawn from the source, and also find the phase difference between the current and the source emf.

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION.

Sol. The equivalent inductance L = 500mH Just before opening the switch, current th4ough the inductors is

I M = =2A

Potential drop across the resistor is 2 × 100 = 200 V

Hence, across capacitor potential difference is zero.

∴ Energy stored u = L(2) 2 = ×500×10 –3 ×2 2 = 1 J

L = C = 1 J

= I M

= 2 = 200 V

ω =

= = 200 rad/s

The impedance of the LC circuit at ω = 100 rad/s is

Z = = (j 2 = – 1)

With the given value of ω , ω 2 × LC =

∴ Z = j × 100 × ×0.5 = j Ω

The peak current = = 3A

and the current lags w.r.t source emf by a phase of ( π /2).
