WORK SHEET – ALTERNATING CURRENTS
1. An alternating voltage V(t) = 220sin 100t volt is applied to a purely resistive load of 50 . The
time taken for the current to rise from half of the peak value to the peak value is
(a) 5 ms (b) 2.2 ms (c) 7.2 ms (d) 3.3 ms
2. One small magnet is slowly inserted inside a solenoid with constant velocity and then taken out as
shown in figure.Which one of the following graphs will best represent emf induced as a function
of time?
(a) (b)
(c) (d)
4. In the given circuit, the readings of voltmeter V1 and V2 are 300 volt each. The readings of the
voltmeter V3 and ammeter A are respectively:
(a) 220 V, 2.0 A (b) 100 V, 2.0 A (c) 150 V, 2.2 A (d) 220 V, 2.2 A.
5. As the frequency of an AC circuit increases, the current first increases and then decreases. What
combination of circuit elements is most likely to comprise the circuit?
(a) Inductor and capacitor (b) Resistor and inductor
(c) Resistor and capacitor (d) Inductor only
6. A capacitor
(a) offers easy path to AC but blocks DC. (b) offers easy path to DC but blocks AC.
(c) offers easy path to both AC and DC. (d) blocks AC.
7. In an L-C-R circuit, the capacitance is made one-fourth. What should be the corresponding change
in the inductance so that the circuit remains in resonance?
(a) 8 times (b) 1/4 times (c) 2 times (d) 4 times
For question numbers 8, 9, 10 and 11 two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and
the other labelled Reason (R). Select the correct answer to these questions from the codes (a),
(b), (c) and (d) as given below.
(a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A
(b) Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A
(c) A is true but R is false
(d) A is false and R is also false
8. Assertion: Primary coil of transformer is connected to a DC supply and output across secondary
coil is found to be zero.
Reason: Transformer works on the principle of mutual induction and hence DC voltage cannot
be changed with the help of transformer.
11. Assertion: The alternating current lags behind the emf by a phase angle of, π/2 when AC flows
through an inductor.
Reason: The inductive reactance increases as the frequency of AC source increases.
13. A bulb and a capacitor is connected in series across an alternating power supply as shown in the
adjoining figure. How will the current through bulb changes when capacitor is immersed in a
dielectric liquid.
14. At an airport, a person is made to walk through the doorway of a metal detector, for security
reasons. If she/he is carrying anything made of metal, the metal detector emits a sound. On what
principle does this detector work?
15. Study the circuits (a) and (b) shown in the figure given below and answer the following
questions:
(a) Under which conditions would the rms currents in the two circuits be the same?
(b) Can the rms current in circuit (b) be larger than that in (a)?
