NEET 2020 · PhysicsCapacitive reactancePrevious Year Question

A 40 μF capacitor is connected to a 200 V, 50 Hz ac supply. The rms value of the current in the circuit is, nearly:

Answer: (A) 2.5 A. Answer: (A) 2.5 A Solution: Angular frequency ω = 2πf = 2π(50) = 100π rad/s.

  1. A.2.5 A
  2. B.25.1 A
  3. C.1.7 A
  4. D.2.05 A

Correct Answer

(A) 2.5 A

Solution & Explanation

Answer: (A) 2.5 A Solution: Angular frequency ω = 2πf = 2π(50) = 100π rad/s. Capacitive reactance X_C = 1/(ωC) = 1/(100π × 40×10⁻⁶) = 1/(4π×10⁻³) ≈ 79.6 Ω. RMS current I_rms = V_rms/X_C = 200/79.6 ≈ 2.51 A ≈ 2.5 A.

PhysA 10 μF capacitor is connected to a 210 V, 50 Hz source as shown in figure. The peak current in the circuit is nearly (π = 3.14):PhysAn ac source is connected to a capacitor C. Due to decrease in its operating frequency:PhysAn 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)
