    Q.) Write a note on Inductor and their Networks.


    Ans. An inductor, also called a coil or reactor, is a
    passive
    two - terminal
    electrical component which resists changes
    in electric current passing through it. It consists of a conductor
    such as a wire, usually wound into a coil. When a current
    flows
    through it, energy is stored temporarily in a magnetic
    field in the coil. When the current flowing through an inductor
    changes, the time-varying magnetic field induces a voltage in the
    conductor, according to Faradays law of electromagnetic
    induction, which opposes the change in current that created it. As
    a result, inductors always oppose a change in current, inthe same
    way that a flywheel oppose a change in rotational velocity. Care
    should be taken not to confuse this with the resistance provided
    by a resistor.

    Inductors in a parallel configuration each have the same potential


    difference (voltage). To find their total equivalent inductance (Leq):

    The current through inductors in series stays the same, but


    the voltage across each inductor can be different. The sum
    of the potential differences (voltage) is equal to the total
    voltage. To find their total inductance:

    Q.) Write about Series and Parallel networks of Capacitors.


    Ans. Capacitors follow the same law using the reciprocals. The
    total capacitance of capacitors in series is equal to the reciprocal
    of the sum of the reciprocals of their individual capacitances:

    .
    The total capacitance of capacitors in parallel is equal to the sum
    of their individual capacitances:

    INTRODUCTION

    SOLVED

    The working voltage of a parallel combination of capacitors is


    always limited by the smallest working voltage of an individual
    capacitor.

    Q.) What do you mean by Instantaneous Value of Voltage?


    Ans. The instantaneous value of an AC signal is the value of
    voltage or current at one particular instant. The value may be zero
    if the particular instant is the time in the cycle at which the polarity
    of the voltage is changing. It may also be the same as the peak
    value, if the selected instant is the time in the cycle at which the
    voltage or current stops increasing and starts decreasing. There
    are actually an infinite number of instantaneous values between
    zero and the peak value.

    Q.) Explain the relation between Period & Frequency.


    Ans. The period of a waveform is the time required for completing
    one full cycle. It is measured in seconds. In Figure 15-1, the
    sinusoidal waveform is plotted as a function of the argument t,
    and the periodic nature of the sine wave is evident. The function
    repeats itself every 2 radians, and its period is therefore 2
    radians. The relationship between time (T) and frequency (f) is
    indicated by the T = 1/f.
    If the signal in the Figure makes one complete revolution each
    second, the generator produces one complete cycle of AC during
    each second (1 Hz). Increasing the number of revolutions to two
    per second will produce two complete cycles of ac per second (2
    Hz). The number of complete cycles of alternating current or
    voltage completed each second is referred to as the frequency, f

    or event frequency. Event frequency is always measured and


    expressed in hertz. Because there are 2 radians in a full circle, a
    cycle, the relationship between , f, and period, T, can be
    expressed as
    f = 1/T Hz.
