Easy questions:

1 A 1
Fr = 2π√L C ∵ 𝐶 𝑑𝑜𝑢𝑏𝑙𝑒𝑑
1
∵𝐿 →8 𝐿
1
√L C → 2 (decreased to half)
So Frequency is doubled.
2 D XL = XC
1
Fr = 2π√L C
So the frequency can be changed by changing L or C
3 C 1
L2 = 2L1 C2 = 2 C1
1
F1 L C F 1 1 2L x C
= √L2 C2 → F = √ L x 2C
F2 1 1 2 1 1

F 1 F
= √2 x 2 → F = 1
F2 2
F = F2 (frequency constant)
4 C Z = R → XL = XC
5 A Z = R (min)
I (max)
6 B XL = XC
7 A 1
C2 = 2C1 L2 = 8 L1
1
F1 L C F 1 1 L x2C
= √L2 C2 → F = √8L x C
F2 1 1 2 1 1
F 1
= 2 → F2 = 2F
F2
So it is doubled
8 C 1
Fr = 2π√L C C2 = 4C1
F1 = F2
1
L C 4C1 x L1
1 = √L2 C2 → 1 = √ 4
1 1 L1 x C1
1
So L2 = 4 L1 to keep the frequency unchanged
9 A phase angle = zero
10 B 1
Fr = 2π√L C
If the capacitance increases, you must decrease self-inductance to keep the
frequency unchanged
11 D 1 1
Fr = 2π√L C → Fr = = 500 Hz
1 1
2π√ x x 10−6
π π
12 B F1 = 600 Hz L2 = 3 L1 C2 = 3 C1
F1 L C 600 3L1 x 3C1
= √L2 C2 → = √
F2 1 1 F2 L1 x C1

XL − XC
Tan θ = R
200 − XC
Tan53.13 = 6
XC = 192Ω
Z = √(𝑋𝐿 − 𝑋𝐶 )2 + 𝑅 2

Z = √(200 − 192)2 + 62 = 10Ω


1
XC = 2πF C
1
192 = 2π x 50 x C
C = 1.65 x 10-5 F
x 106 = 16.57µF
2 D VL = VC (Resonance)
VR = Vt = 300V
3 D (R. L. C circuit)

F2 4500
Slope = 1 = F2 x L = = 1.8 x 104
0.25
L
1
Slope = 4π2 C
1
1.8 x 104 = 4π2 C → ∴ C = 1.4 x 10-6 F
5 A XC > XL (Capacitive circuit)
At point (A)
6 D The answer is graph D
7 C Capacitor and coil don’t consume power because capacitor stores as electric
field and coil stores as a magnetic field while resistance consumes power.
Z = √(XL − XC )2 + R2

Z = √(16 − 8)2 + 62 = 10Ω


V 200
I = Z = 10 = 20A
P = I 2 x R = (20)2 x 6
P = 2400W
8 C Fr = 60 Hz Imax = 2.5A C = 2.58 x 10-4F
1
Fr = 2π√L C
1
60 =
2π√L x 2.58 x 10−4
L = 0.0272 H
x 103 = 27 mH
9 B Capacitor + Dc = open key
So, graph (B) is the right answer
10 D XL WL

c) Tanθ = = =1 (wrong)
R 3R
XL 4R
d) Tanθ = R = 2R = 2 (The right answer)
12 C Imax = 7.07A
Ieff. = Imax x sin45
= 7.07 x sin45 = 4.99 ≅ 5A
E = I2 R t
E = 52 x 8 x (1 x 24 x 60 x 60)
E = 1.7 x 107
E = 17 x 106J
13 A I leads V → so pure capacitor
- There is no power consumption
So the answer is (OW)
14 A L = 2H F = 80 Hz
1
Fr = 2π√L C
1
80 = 2π√2 x C
C = 1.97 x 10-6 ≅ 1.98 x 10-6 F
x 106
F → µF
C = 1.98µF
15 B Key open: key close:
XL − XC −X
Tan θ = 50 Tanθ = 50C
- Same phase angle = same I
200−100 100
- The correct answer is B because: at key open Tan θ = 50 = 50
- At key close:
100
- Tanθ = 50
16 D (R. L. C circuit)
Z = √(XL − XC )2 + R2
Z = √(3R − R)2 + (2R)2
Z = √(2R)2 + (2R)2
Z = √4R2 + 4R2
Z = √8R2
Z = √8 R
Z = 2√2 R
V 4
I = Z = 2√2R = √2R

I= R

Z = 200Ω
V 400
I = Z = 200 = 2A
19 A XL = XC
XL = 2πFL = 2π x 50 x 0.07 = 21.99 ≅ 22Ω
XL = XC = 22Ω
VC = Vt
At resonance Vt = VR
VC = VR
I x XC = I x R
XC = R
∵XC = 22Ω ∴R = 22Ω
66 x R
22 = = 66 + R
R = 33Ω
20 B C = 2µF Q = 24
Q=CxV
24 = 2 x V
V = 12V
21 A 𝐸ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑖𝑛 = 𝐸ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑡 𝑜𝑢𝑡
So, the quantity is equal and the H.W.A reads the effective I of AC and DC
