NEET 2016 Phase 2 · PhysicsPower factorPrevious Year Question

The potential differences across the resistance, capacitance and inductance are 80 V, 40 V and 100 V respectively in an L-C-R circuit. The power factor of this circuit is

Answer: (C) 0.8. Answer: (C) 0.8 Solution: cos φ = V_R / V = 80 / √(V_R² + (V_L − V_C)²) = 80 / √(80² + (100 − 40)²) = 80/√(6400 + 3600) = 80/100 = 0.8.

  1. A.0.4
  2. B.0.5
  3. C.0.8
  4. D.1.0

Correct Answer

(C) 0.8

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (C) 0.8 Solution: cos φ = V_R / V = 80 / √(V_R² + (V_L − V_C)²) = 80 / √(80² + (100 − 40)²) = 80/√(6400 + 3600) = 80/100 = 0.8.

PhysThe maximum power is dissipated for an ac in a/anPhysA series LCR circuit is connected to an ac voltage source. When L is removed from the circuit, the phase difference between current and voltage is π/3. If instead C is removed from the circuit, the phase difference is again π/3 between current and voltage. The power factor of the circuit isPhysAn electric dipole with dipole moment 5 × 10⁻⁶ C·m is aligned with the direction of a uniform electric field of magnitude 4 × 10⁵ N/C. The dipole is then rotated through an angle of 60° with respect to the electric field. The change in the potential energy of the dipole is:PhysTwo identical charged conducting spheres A and B have their centres separated by a certain distance. Charge on each sphere is q and the force of repulsion between them is F. A third identical uncharged conducting sphere is brought in contact with sphere A first and then with B and finally removed from both. New force of repulsion between spheres A and B (radii negligible vs separation, treated as point charges) is best given as:PhysThe plates of a parallel plate capacitor are separated by d. Two slabs of different dielectric constant K1 and K2 with thickness 3d/8 and d/2 respectively are inserted in the capacitor. Due to this, the capacitance becomes two times larger than when there is nothing between the plates. If K1/K2 = 1.25, the value of K1 is:PhysA sphere of radius R is carved out of a uniform solid sphere of radius 2R (internally tangent, so its centre is at distance R from the big centre). The ratio of the moment of inertia of the small sphere to that of the remaining part, both about the Y-axis through the big sphere's centre, is:PhysThe Sun rotates once in 27 days. If it expanded to twice its present radius (uniform-density sphere, no external influence), its new period would be about:PhysA uniform rod of mass 20 kg and length 5 m leans against a smooth vertical wall, making 60° with the wall; its lower end rests on a rough horizontal floor. The friction force exerted by the floor is: (g = 10 m/s²)
